Since everyone's already gone calender shopping for the new year (you remember printed calendars, right?), settle down and have a peek at some upcoming and newly released mobile games on the market.
LYNE goes mobile - The zen-style puzzle game LYNE from Thomas Bowker has crossed from the browser world over to iOS and Android! The simple but challenging release asks you to do one simple thing: connect shapes of the same color together by drawing lines between them. Lines can't cross, however, which creates some extremely tricky situations. A fantastic puzzle game that works extremely well on touch screens.
Stealth by any other name - Not too long ago, a little indie game came to PC called Stealth Bastard. It was built around doing quick runs through shadowy, robot-infested, super-secure corridors and rooms without getting seen. Now the game has been retooled and released for iOS devices as Stealth Inc., featuring all of the gameplay and most of the features from the downloadable version packed into a tidy mobile app.
Inexistence will exist - Inspired by the likes of Castlevania, Metroid and Mega Man, the action platform RPG Inexistence is currently in development and will be heading to Android (and PC) in the summer of 2014. One quick glance at the screenshots and trailer should be all it takes to get your interest sufficiently drummed up. Kill enemies, gain experience, learn new abilities, use said abilities to access new parts of the world. Hard to go wrong with that classic metroidvania formula.
