148Apps round-up: Zombit, Tank Titans HD, and more
|
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...

Zombit

By Clouds Rider zombit_03-450x600 "Pixels? Check. Zombies? Check. Oh, wait. We forgot to include an interesting game. Darn!" (Rob Thomas)

Club Penguin Sled Racer

By Disney penguin6-600x338 "There's not a lot to Club Penguin Sled Racer, and that's a pretty hefty problem." (Jennifer Allen)

Tank Titans HD

By Campbell Tech tanks "Tank Titans HD feels less like a game and more like an incomplete proof-of-concept, without much to recommend it." (Andrew Fisher)

Vertical Cliff

By SummerTimeStudio vertical_cliff_07-450x600 "Who would have thought a game about descending sheer surfaces could be this gripping?" (Rob Thomas)

Schwerkraft

By anfema GmbH schwerkraft_05 "Schwerkraft is an easy-going gravity-based puzzle game that takes a bit of getting used to." (Nadia Oxford)

Run Forrest Run

By Genera Mobile forrest4-338x600 "Running was Forrest Gump's forte, so obviously an Endless Runner 20 years later makes sense, right?" (Jennifer Allen)

Boshi

By Kirill Korolkov boshi_03 "Boshi's blend of stealth and action is neat, but parts of it lack considerable polish." (Nadia Oxford)

Ice Age Adventures

By Gameloft ice-age-adventures-1-600x450 "Ice Age Adventures is a like a greatest hits collection of casual iOS games." (Jordan Minor)

High Five Hero

By Three Whiskey Trigger hfh-2-600x450 "High Five Hero is a fun, but fleeting, ode to enthusiasm." --(Jordan Minor)
