Farkle Safari, Polyworks Games’ indie dice adventure, lets you do your part to save animals in real life
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to engage in an intense dice game with a stingray under the sea? It may sound too ridiculous to be true, but Farkle Safari lets you do just that (virtually) and help conserve wildlife at the same time. Polyworks Games not only helps you see the sights for anyone who’s been bitten by the travel bug, but it also lets you play Farkle from the safety and comfort of your own home - and against different animals in the wild, at that. Farkle Safari was first released earlier this year, but the free-to-play game is still a delight to play as we head into the second quarter of 2021 - mainly because doing your part to conserve wildlife is always co…
Farkle SafariHeliCleaner tasks you to dispose of toxic barrels safely and is out now on iOS
When it comes to recycling toxic waste, it’s never easy to dispose of them in a safe (and fun!) manner. HeliCleaner, out now on iOS, makes the task an absolute breeze as you hover over the landscape on a mission to make the environment beautiful again. In HeliCleaner, you manipulate a remote-control Heli-Carrier that can deliver toxic barrels to their corresponding platforms for safe disposal. Essentially, the simple gameplay mechanics tasks you to just pick up barrels, attach them to your Heli-Carrier, then deliver them safely and detach when you’re on the right platforms at the airport. While the concept seems simple enough, there are various obstacles that can pop up along…
Lyxo: Step into the light with this minimalist puzzler for iOS and Android

This is exactly how the concept of Lyxo came to Tobias Sturn, founder of Vienna-based independent game studio Emoak. In this light-based puzzler which has just launched for iOS and Android, you make good use of the light to illuminate the dark. Using various ways to reflect and refract rays of light, you manipulate the light and shadows to light up rooms in a minimalist but breathtaking design.

Scratch your clubbing itch with rhythm-based platformer, Vectronom
If you miss going clubbing and losing yourself in the rhythm of the music this year, then Vectronom might just scratch that itch for you. The rhythm-based 3D platformer released last year lets you immerse yourself in a rejuvenating burst of colour and music with its atmospheric levels in isometric view. The obstacles shift with the music, so you have to navigate through the maddening puzzle platformer by syncing yourself to the electronic beat. It’s frustrating and entrancing at the same time, which guarantees a gaming experience where there’s never a dull moment. As you get into the groove of this musical puzzle game, you can choose to brave the campaign and go solo, or play…
MU Origin 2's 4.2 update introduces new ways to increase your gear alongside several new Abyss game modes
The Divine Object update has arrived in MU Origin 2 today as it becomes version 4.2. This sees some new additions to the Abyss alongside new methods to make your weapons and defences more powerful.

Test your endless running skills in Presidents Run, available now for iOS and Android
President's Run is a light-hearted endless runner that sees players choosing their favourite political candidates, past and present, and seeing how many votes they can gather.

Beyond that, Zombie Washington and Frankenstein Lincoln are also potential candidates. The aim isn't to make a…

That's definitely an issue when you're tasked with jumping, running and using power-ups to blast…
Calibria Crystal Guardians’ hero star levels explained
Hero collecting RPG Calibria: Crystal Guardians is going strong two months on from its launch on iOS and Android devices, and for newcomers to the fold, it’s helpful to understand how the game’s character tiers work before diving in head-first. Each hero is assigned a star level of between one and six, but what does that mean? Well, one star or two-star heroes, such as Wood Elementals and Imps, are basically the "enhance food" for higher star level heroes, although they have their uses in the game’s early battles. There are many useful assist type three-star heroes, while four-star heroes are the ones with lofty potential. You can train them up to lead your team and eve…
