Lingo Legend finally launches for Android after iOS exclusivity

Melding games and learning, Lingo Legend allows players to improve both visually and mentally. Lingo Legend is a card-battling RPG where you need to build yourself a deck to battle monsters.

Wreckfests’ mobile release brings demolition driving glory to any location
HandyGames have officially released the mobile port of the demolition racing game Wreckfest. Whilst standard racing games are very fun and the thrill of speeding around corners never wears off, throwing in the ability to smash your opponent to bits takes it to another level of childish glee. Wreckfest is a destruction-derby racing-style game that has been sorely missing from the market since the likes of the 90s Destruction Derby series. There are multiple racing types to engage with such as standard tarmac ovals to get the best speed, rally-eske offroad tracks to whip out the drifts, and the good old-fashioned demolition bowls. Whilst the racing aspect of the game is incredibly good and r…
