    Syder Arcade HD is the debut Android title of developer Studio Evil, which is an awesome studio name in my opinion. It's a simple arcade shoot-em up with a focus on slick HD visuals and an excellent electronic soundtrack as you blast away waves and waves of enemies. It's a bit of a short game, but it's also really quite challenging, and the difficulty more than pads out the content to be worth the asking price, if you like a challenge. more »

    SilverTree Media has been knocking it out of the park with their roster of games. The robotic platformer Cordy was awesome, the vertical jumping spin-off Cordy Sky was solid, and the creative arcade title Sleepy Jack was just sublime. Now, they’ve gone back to their roots and brought us Cordy 2, and this little robot received one heck of an upgrade. With smooth platforming and creative levels, Cordy 2 is pretty much everything a platform game fan would want. more »

    Cubes vs. Spheres is a delightful gem of a game from ShockPanda Games, who also brought us the less popular Space Bunnies. It's a physics-based turret defense game, in which you launch spheres against an oncoming horde of cubes. Gameplay is simple and elegant, and the minimalist, almost monochrome style of the game is quite unique. Actually, this is definitely one of the more unique games you'll play in a while. more »

    This is my kind of sports game. Completely unrealistic and over the top with fast paced gameplay and a a great sense of humor. Also, Fire. A lot of fire. I am of course referring to NBA Jam by EA Sports, the revival of the 1993 Midway arcade title of the same name. This release does a great job of preserving the spirit of the original, and it’s great fun. It’s probably one of the greatest basketball games of all time to be honest, as long as you don’t care about realism and all that. more »

    Cytus is a new music and rhythm game from Rayark. It’s well done, with fun mechanics, good songs (although that’s quite subjective), and nice visuals. This Android version of the game is far less stable than the iOS version and it froze on me quite a few times, but all in all it’s the same great game and a worthy addition to the collection of any music game fan. more »

    Gene Effect is an outstanding new action adventure title from Lightstorm3D. It takes many of the same themes and ideas of a game like Waking Mars, with a similar sense of discovery and wonderment, but executes on them in a different way. Things get pretty hectic as you pilot a simple mining vessel, called the Triton, through a cavernous alien world, collecting resources and relics while also uncovering a mystery or two. It's not a perfect game, with some pacing issues down the line, but it does so much right that you'll probably overlook the flaws. more »

    Terry Cavanagh is one of those rare designers who makes all of his own games by himself, aside from the music. As such, they are usually smaller titles with more simplistic art, though that simple pixel art often fits a cohesive style that makes it stand out anyway. While he usually makes platformers, like VVVVVV or Don't Look Back, another game of his on Android, his latest foray into game development is this super challenging super unique game called Super Hexagon. more »

    It's not often at all that a game like Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery comes along. Not only did it manage to innovate while being retro, but it also gained a massive following of people despite all its experimental game design and visual style. SS&SEP was a game changer when it released for iOS in early 2011, and we finally have it on Android. As if to tempt fate or spit in the face of it, it was actually released by developers Capybara Games to Google Play on December 21st, 2012! Fun facts for you. more »
