What do you call a man with a spade on his head? The genre of mining or maze building has been popular since the classic Dig Dug was released by Namco in Japan, and Atari Inc in the West.

Aside from bringing Flappy Bird back to mobile devices, developer Dong Nguyen has begun teasing his next game which apparently doesn’t have a name just yet, or at least one he isn’t willing to share just yet. However he did decide to share a screenshot of the Flappy Bird follow-up on Twitter.

While Anodyne has these features and they really make this game an enjoyable experience to play all the way through, it also has a look and feel that is very distinct from other Action-RPGs, and is quite unique to itself.
Kemco lately seems to be on quite a roll when it comes to game releases on Android, bringing a new one to Google Play almost every other week as of late, or at least it seems that way. This week is no exception to this rule either as the company has released the English version of Soul of Deva onto Google Play.
