This week, we’re taking a look at See The Light, a puzzle game from a new developer by the name of The Animal Farm Creations.  In See The Light, the aim of the game is to direct different coloured lights to their respectively coloured goals.  This is achieved through strategically placing mirrors and other objects on the game grid to redirect the light beams.  Here’s the description from the official Android Market:-
A puzzle game set in deep space, See the Light challenges you to manipulate light using mirrors, lenses, energizers, …

Today we’re taking a look at a free game called Brick Annoyed, developed by Omikron.  Brick Annoyed is yet another Breakout clone.  A brave (or silly?) move considering the Market is teeming with them, but then the format has always been popular.  To give the format a little twist, there are also geo-location based high scores.  Here’s the official description from the Android Market:-
Brick Annoyed is classic arcade game.  You have to destroy all balloons on the screen to advance to the next level.
Gadgets will fall from some balloons and …

We enjoyed Polarbit’s Armageddon Squadron immensely when it was first released, so we were a little sceptical when a very similar looking game, Winds of Steel, by DeckEleven Entertainment popped up in the Android Market.  Winds of Steel is, like Armageddon Squadron, a 3D air combat game set in World War II.  Unlike Armageddon Squadron, this game attempts to inject some small element of realism to proceedings by letting you take part in some  famous historical battles (albeit almost exclusively ones that took place over the Pacific).  Here’s the game’s …

This review is a little later in coming than we’d intended, seeing as Zenonia was released a few weeks back, but better late than never we always say.  Zenonia is a multi award winning action-oriented RPG for the iPhone by developers Gamevil, which has recently been ported to Android.  It was a hugely popular title on the iPhone Apps Market and is expected to be just as popular on Android.  It’s style is very reminiscent of old-school classic, top-down RPGs such as Zelda and Final Fantasy.  Zenonia sees you playing …

The folks at MobileFun.co.uk asked us if we’d be interested in reviewing an item they sell called the DeskGenie.  Having checked it out online, we were intrigued enough to accept the offer.  So, for the last few days, I’ve been taking it for a test drive.  The DeskGenie is a universal charging stand which can hold pretty much any phone-sized device you care to put on it.  It connects to a USB port on your PC (or to a separate mains power adapter if you have one) and comes with …

Among our wishlist of apps we’d love to see on Android is a game called Canabalt by Adam “Atomic” Saltsman, so, when we heard that a game inspired by Canabalt had been released to the Android Market, we had to give it a go.  Parkour: Roof Riders, developed by Blyts, is, like Canabalt, a game where the object is to survive for as long as possible whilst jumping across ever-scrolling rooftops.  Here’s the not-exactly-verbose official description from the Market:-
“Become a professional Parkourist!
Run over the city’s roofs, but be careful! …

Today we turn our attention to Infection by CodeChimps.  The aim of the game is to remove from each level a growing number of spawning blobs, representing infection.  To get rid of the blobs, you need to roll over them with your nanobots.  The nanobots are controlled by dragging your finger across the touchscreen.  The nanobot is placed at the location you first touch and then moves in the horizontal or vertical direction you dragged your finger.  Mulitple nanobots can placed at any one time, limited to 3 to begin …

Camel Games (interviewed here) are one of our favourite Android developers.  They’re the team responsible for some of the most popular Android games on the market.  Titles such as Space Physics and Flight Director have been downloaded tens of thousands of times and are rated highly by the community.  Because of this, we were looking forward to trying out their latest offering, physics puzzler Blow Up.
Official Android Market description:-

“Blow it up! Flatten buildings with limited bombs is your task. With this fantastic game, you will get bombs in different …

i-Play have been a big player in the mobile games industry for a while now, but, whilst they have released some Android titles, until now, Android didn’t really seem to be one of their main focuses.  That is set to change this year with i-Play planning to ramp up production of Android titles.  As part of this strategy, i-Play yesterday announced the release of Paradise Quest, a match the shape puzzle game.
Here’s the description of the game from i-Play’s press release:-
The revolutionary Match-3 puzzle adventure that has captivated 5 million …

Back when I was at university, I spent rather longer than I probably should have playing Pang! in the local student bar.  I don’t think I ever did beat it, but I had a blast trying.  So, when I heard about Spheremare, an Android Pang! clone by the modestly titled Awesome Software, I downloaded and installed it straight away, although I did have a little trepidation as to what I’d find.
Here’s the official blurb from the game’s Android Market entry:-
Spheremare a game in the likes of Pang. Take your gun …
