Long weekend, baby!

Here's what you may have missed on Steel Media's other sites this week - May 25th

Pocket Gamer and Friends

It's the end of the week, which means it's finally time to do those dishes I've been putting off for the last few days. Oh, and look back at the best articles of the week.

But not our articles, no – we want to look at the articles from our sister sites, which produce a wealth of words and videos of equal or better quality to our own.

So, make sure you've got enough hot water in the tank, and then sit back and check out some of the best pieces from around the Steel Media network.

148Apps

Harry's gone and made another list of the best games on mobile over on 148 this week, and this time he's focused on puzzle games.

You can guess a few of the bigger entries – The Room, Monument Valley 2, Threes! – but there's a handful in there you may never have seen coming, including Nitrome's Beneath the Lighthouse.

"The way it mixes together a head scratching puzzle game and a platformer really needs to be played," he writes on the latter game.

AppSpy

Ol' Christian's dug up a new hidden gem this week, this time shining his spotlight on tower defence strategy roguelike (phew!) Dungeon of the Endless.

"Each floor is a procedurally-generated maze, through which you guide your team room-by-room, preparing for whether you find much-needed resources, a merchant, a new hero to recruit, more ruthless enemies behind closed doors," he explains.

"While you directly control heroes' actions directly, the challenge comes from using their skills intelligently, balancing the slow heavy-hitters with quick strikers and ranged units, and utilising special abilities that can increase damage and speed, regenerate health, among other useful buffs."

AppSpy Video

James has been playing catch up this week, having been away for a bit, but he's got a few very pretty videos to check out.

Homo Machina is by far the most visually striking, taking place inside the human body but not in a way you often see in games.

Meanwhile, Zero/Sum might look like utter nonsense, but it's actually a surprisingly decent maths puzzler which everyone seems to be enjoying.
