iOS

Time is limited. Apps are plentiful.

How can you make sense of the ever-increasing number of new games in the App Store? Well, by reading Pocket Gamer, of course. But we can't possibly cover everything, and there are some games that just don't fit in our wheelhouse.

Thankfully, our friends over at 148Apps are here to save the day. Take a look at some of the casual games that have caught the attention of the 148Apps team…

Glidefire
By Wonderwood Games

"Even with its carefully crafted levels, Glidefire still feels like something made by a machine." (Jordan Minor)

Ninja Warrior Temple
By Top Free Best Games

"Ninja Warrior Temple is clever, but not nearly as nimble as a ninja should be." (Jordan Minor)

Nerf Hoops
By Backflip Studios

"Nerf Hoops is essentially Paper Toss with commercial branding. It's not bad, but it's not remarkable either." (Nadia Oxford)

Rope'n'Fly 4
By Djinnworks

"Rope'n'Fly 4 is high-flying fun. Just don't get intimate with the concrete." (Nadia Oxford)

All-Star Basketball
By Renown Entertainment

"Keeping it simple and pure, All-Star Basketball is a fun game for those who just want to score rather than run or defend." (Jennifer Allen)

Gummy Drop!
By Big Fish Games

"Gummy Drop! is a pleasant if not as special Match-3 game as it would like to be." (Jennifer Allen)

Robot Dance Party
By DeNA Corp

"Bust some moves in this easy to learn but tricky to master dance game." (Jennifer Allen)

Star Clash
By Jonathan Powell Productions

"Star Clash doesn't quite live up to the potential of its bizarre gameplay and visual combinations." (Jordan Minor)

Chris is a little frightened that he is the oldest writer on the 148Apps staff, but maybe there's someone else out there who remembers when a Mac Plus was cutting edge and the Newton was nothing short of miraculous.
