Google's 25-billion-download celebration sale ends today, so it's your last chance to get
Horn and
The Dark Knight Rises for 25p each. Go quickly. We'll wait.
Done? Okay, elsewhere in the world of mobile we've got
a new platformer called
Wimp, a
tower defence game from Mistwalker, and an
upcoming courtroom battle game from 1337 Game Design.
And then there are these stories - the best of the rest of the news, as we like to say.
New releasesEscape the room adventure
Forever Lost: Episode 1 has
hit the App Store. We called it "fiendishly clever and imaginative, and pitched at just the right difficulty" in a
preview, which was jolly nice of us. 69p / 99c on iPhone and iPad.
Kairosoft's
Pocket Clothier is now available on iOS - but
only in Japan at the moment. This sim, where you manage a luxury clothing boutique, is a Universal app and will cost Japanese players ¥450 (about £3.50). Expect to see it on international App Stores soonish.
Fin Friends is apparently what you get when two Crytek (
Crysis,
Warface) artists leave their dreary office jobs to develop their own games. This one-touch endless runner has a cute bug-eyed fish hunting down the blowfish gang in order to get his friends back. Looks lovely -
69p / 99c on iOS.
GREE has got a new freemium city builder out.
Dino Life allows you to build a factually inaccurate "world where cavemen and dinosaurs live happily together". You'll make a stone age village, run quests, and then breed dinosaurs for fun and profit.
Free, on iOS.
Big updatesAddictive endless-runner
Ski Safari has received a hefty great update. Version 1.2 adds a new slope (Eagle Bluffs), more costumes for Sven, extra challenges, and upgrades. It's also got iCloud backup and, most importantly of all, scarves.
Get it here.
On the horizonKonami has let us know that Vita horror game
Silent Hill: Book of Memories will be released in Europe on November 2nd. A bit late for Halloween scares, sadly. There's a free demo on the Store right now, if you're desperate for a spook.
Meet the Veggienauts: the next team for turn-based strategy game
Outwitters. "We call their special unit Bramble. When rooted down, he grows his own destructible thorn barriers," One Man Left's Adam Stewart says. The new team and maps will hit the iOS game in October.
Sales Good news for all the BlackBerry Playbook owners out there. You can download
Gears of War-style shooter
Shadowgun for nothing off the
BlackBerry App World. It's a third-person shooter where you hunker down behind cover during firefights.
