Oh look, it's Tuesday. At least I think it's Tuesday, I'm having a hard time keeping track of time. Hang on, let me shout out of the window and ask a passer-by... Yup, it's Tuesday, and apparently I'm an idiot.
Anyway, Tuesday is when we have a look at some of the best games on the App Store. They might be the best games in a specific genre, or the best games with a particular style. This time round they're the best games from a developer.
And that developer is Tiny Touch Tales. Its latest game, Card Thief, just came out on the App Store, and it's really, really good. So I thought we'd have a look at three other games from the dev that you should definitely play.
As ever, click on the emboldened name of the games and you'll be taken to the App Store where you can download them. And you should do that, because they're all really, really good.
The first game in the Card series. This one is a little more straightforward than Card Thief, but it's still an excellent distillation of a dungeon crawler.
Basically you're fighting against a deck of cards that are dealt to you at random. Can you get all the way through the deck, or are you going to end up dead before you get there?
It's a fine example of a solitaire card game with a lovely twist. And if you're in love with Card Thief, then you're going to lap this up too.

This one is a roguelike, but as you might expect there are plenty of twists here as well. The main one in Enyo is your weapon.
It's a flail that extends out in front of you. And it doesn't damage enemies directly. Instead you need to drag them into environmental hazards to dispatch them.
It adds a layer of intriguing tactics to the genre. It's still a tough dungeon crawler. And there's a daily mode that sees you taking on a random enemy too.

Last but not least we've got this slightly older entry into the Tiny Touch Tales canon. It's a platformer but, as you might expect, there's a twist.
Well there's a couple. It's a turn-based platformer for starters. And there are gravity-based controls that make the whole thing incredibly tricky.
Basically it's a puzzler dressed up in platforming pantaloons. But in a good way. You're going to enjoy the time you spend with this one, even if you get stuck a lot.
