Sometimes, simple is best. Take away the quests, the story, and just add some jumping. Literally. That’s Doodle Jump’s main goal; to jump as high as you possible can. There’s nothing fancy about it; you get a cute little doodle jumper and you jump as high as you can go. Well, it’s not that easy. […]
As a gamer, have you ever wondered what it would be like to develop your own game? Game Dev Story might not be a severely accurate simulation, but its fun take on creating games and running a dev company makes it a great mobile game for any fan of the industry. Game Dev Story puts […]
Sometimes mobile games don’t have the best staying power. They are built, after all, to entertain for short periods of time. And because they can be repetitive, they become brief fixations before you find yourself deleting them from your phone a month or two later. But one game that has serious staying power and a […]
We tend to focus on the gaming side of things here at AppTrawler, but some team members recently tried out an HTML5-based web app, Lucidchart, that impressed us with its flexibility and ease of use. Lucidchart’s creators bill it as a one-stop solution for creating any diagram type–it’s essentially the online answer to Microsoft Visio. […]
Take flight with this simply awesome Jetpack game for iPhone and iPad. There’s not going to be many people who haven’t played this game. It’s been given away free at various times including during the recent ’12 Days of Christmas’ promotion by Apple. The premise of the game is simple; guide your jet pack clad […]
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 […]
We get asked to look at a lot of doodle games at Apptrawler and many we have to say no to due to the sheer amount of games out there to look at. But whilst playing around with our iPad yesterday we got the code for Doodle Bomb HD and we thought we’d give it […]
We have followed Big Pixel Studios for some time and loved their game Piyo Blocks and enjoyed a great developer Interview back in October 2009. Since then they have had great success with Piyo Blocks 2 for both iphone and iPad. Well they are back again, but this time they have put down their puzzle […]
A couple weeks ago we first caught wind of Archetype, an online first person shooter by iPhone developer MunkyFun which is comprised of veterans of LucasArts and the creators of both Shift [99¢] and Ivory Tiles [99¢] for the iPhone. 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 […]
Clickgamer’s Angry Birds [99¢ / Free] has been one of my favorite games since it was first launched in December of last year. We thought the game was great in our review, and since then, Angry Birds has only gotten better with the surprising amount of extra content that has been added to the game […]
