Dizzy is back! This game is close to my heart after playing the Dizzy games back in the day on a ZX Spectrum and later on the Sega Megadrive. Sadly dizzy never made it beyond the 32 bit era having his last adventures on the Atari and Amiga. Although he was gone he was not […]
Terrorballs is a trajectory based puzzle game set on a deep space star ship seized by evil space pirates. The Terrorballs are ‘self replicating robots launched from a trajectory cannon’ which in short means little silver balls you fire around the levels trying to get it in the transporter. There are about 10 different zones […]

Paper Ninja has been out for some time but due to the latest update Apptrawler was considered cool enough to get a promo. We are extremely happy to have been considered as we have really enjoyed slicing and dicing our lightweight enemies. If you need a plot then the game follows the exploits of […]

This game follows the same format as ‘red block remover’ and ‘Danger Cats’ which sees the player removing items to make the player, which in this case is a series of classic monsters including The Mummy, Frankenstein, Ghosts and the […]
We love all things retro here at AppTrawler and so when we got a copy of Attack of the Kraken by Quantum Sheep we were made up. Kraken is a side scrolling shooter that sees you flying about taking out UFOs and a series of giant metal Krakens in the shape of octopi, crabs and […]
Ok, so I know these have been out for SO long but I had resisted the temptation to get these apps as we at apptrawler tend to lean towards gaming and not entertainment apps. Well recently I told the team I was joining the gym as healthy body, healthy mind and all that jazz; and […]
We have been playing Meow Meow Happy Fight for the past few days and we love it. Essentially ‘Happy Fight’ is the death match simplified and it’s great.

When we first saw Office Heroes, I admit I was more than a little surprised with the overwhelmingly positive response the game saw both in article comments and on our forums. It seems that social gaming is a guilty pleasure for many, and as I mentioned in the preview, Office Heroes has an incredibly clever […]

In the past we’ve been increasingly critical of Sega releasing these […]
We heard about this game a few months back whilst reading up on our old 8 bit hero ‘Dizzy’. Dizzy was an egg who had numerous adventures in the days of the spectrum and Amiga. I believe his last outing was on the Sega Megadrive before the Oliver Twins and Codemasters had a falling out […]
The original Predator movie back in 1987 sparked a huge cult following and a subsequent movie and various crossovers with Aliens. Acclaimed producer Robert Rodriguez is set to rekindle that flame on the big-screen with a stand-alone movie, Predators, with Chillingo and Angry Mob Games stepping up for the mandatory small-screen game tie-in. Like […]

Much like ngmoco’s Eliminate [Free], Archetype is said to work over WiFi, 3G, and […]

It’s no secret we love Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor [$2.99 for the iPhone. While Tiger Style Games is hard at work building whatever their successor to Spider will be, they’ve also had time to crank out the free Spider: Hornet Smash [Free], and Spider: Bryce Manor HD for the iPad which they’re […]
