148Apps round-up: Fiz, Solisqr, Phrazzle, and more
The week in casual games
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...
Fiz: The Brewery Management Game
By Bit By Bit Studios
"Fiz lets players live out a career as a craft brewer in this clever and charming management game." (Campbell Bird)
Solisqr
By Parachuting Frog
"Solisqr takes minimalism to an extreme degree." (Carter Dotson)
Phrazzle
By GameFly Games
"There is good (but not always so clean) fun to be had in Phrazzle, the quickie contest of funny phrase creation." (Carter Dotson)
Monster Eat Sushi
By Hello World Engineering
"Fun and quirky, Monster Eat Sushi is a fast paced time management game that's let down by some picky controls." (Jennifer Allen)
Sirtet
By Randall Li
"Sirtet may initially look like that familiar tile-matching arcade title we're all likely familiar with, but it has a unique twist up its sleeve." (Arron Hirst)
Hot Mess
By Nicholas Ralabate
"It has its flaws but Hot Mess is still a charming tale of a robot's urge to stop couples from getting together." (Jennifer Allen)
Sword & Magic HD
By BengBeng
"A Collectible Card Game with RPG elements, Sword & Magic HD is plagued with flaws that hold it back from its true potential." (Lucy Ingram)
Createrria
By Incuvo
"Rather than arriving as a game itself, Createrria is aiming to give gamers the necessary tools to create their very own platformers. The premise is great, but it could do with a few more creation and customisation options." (Arron Hirst)
All this, plus Jeff Scott reviews the Seagate Wireless Plus 1T Wireless Hard Drive and the Olloclip 3-in-1 Macro Lens for iPhone 5. Oh, and Carter Dotson gets an early preview of Trials: Frontier.
