Finger Physics: Thumb Wars Review
PressOK Entertainment have made a big commitment with the latest release in the Finger Physics franchise, 'Thumb Wars'. Players can compete for their countries by completing various physics based puzzles, scoring points and bumping them further up the world-wide ladder. This isn't about personal glory, this is WAR.

Castaway Jelly Review
It's not often you get a chance to navigate coral mazes as a jellyfish and Colorplay Games have decided to fill this niche hole with 'Castaway Jelly'. In this simple game you must navigate various ocean hazards in order to rescue your friends and ultimately make your way home. Over the course of 30 levels you'll need to avoid natural hazards including sharp coral, balloon fish and on several occasions even apparently harmless bubbles. The game boasts the use of intuitive controls, but…

Gravity Block Review
Gravity Block by Playsteria is nominally a physics based puzzler, but leaving it there would be doing the game a disservice. Much like Labyrinth-clones, players must transport an inanimate block to the exit through a maze of conveyor belts, traps, disappearing walls and warps, but instead of analogue tilt controls all you can do is change the direction of gravity. The screen is split in to quadrants, allowing you to quickly tap and redirect the direction your cube can fall in. A small…

Mummy Panic Review
Chu-Chu Rocket lives again as Christopher Sisk and his latest release Mummy Panic revive this crazy puzzle gameplay for the App Store. Your job is to rescue the hapless mummies as they amble around the screen, guiding them towards the safety of a conveniently placed crate. The mummies and their nemesis the 'Explorers' will automatically move their way around the levels, turning to the right each time they hit a hard surface. Pitfalls, traps, switches and other objects will need to be…

StarDunk - Online Basketball in Space Review
If basketball, online gaming and the 'flick' genre of minigames were put in a blender, you'd still only just start to approach the kind of game StarDunk by Godzilab is like. Players can choose between left or right handed orientation, placing the ball and hoop at opposite sides of the screen depending on your choice. To aim, all you have to do is place your finger down and drag around the screen to set your throw strength and angle. An indicator helps to align your shot and while this…

Helsing's Fire Review
Van Helsing is a name that has become synonymous with horror stories and in particular as a vampire hunter thanks to the character's origins in Bram Stoker's Dracula. It's somewhat appropriate that the Dutch doctor should be revived by Amsterdam based developers Ratloop for Clickgamer's latest puzzling title, Helsing's Fire. In order to defeat the invading horde of Dracula's monstrous regiment you'll have to illuminate and subsequently dispatch them with color-coded tonics. It's an in…

The Jim and Frank Mysteries – The Blood River Files Review
'The Jim and Frank Mysteries - The Blood River Files' is one of Chillingo's latest releases and draws an easy comparison to the Professor Layton series on the Nintendo DS. You follow the adventures of Jim and Frank as they take part in a puzzle-filled mystery spurred on by Jim's Grandfather. The game's basic controls are varied, with different gestures being required for each puzzle you encounter. While adventuring you can take part in a small hidden object game to earn Eureka points…

Super Laser: The Alien Fighter Review
EpicForce, the developers behind 'Super Laser: The Alien Fighter' compare their new shoot'em-up to the classic days of Arcade titles that would have punters popping quarters in, one after the other, just to master them. It shouldn't come as a surprise, but this is hardly hyperbole considering that this comes from the same team that developed 'iFighter', a real high water mark for SHMUPs on the AppStore. Players can take their pick of three basic control styles, maneuvering their ships…

Wizzley Presto and the Vampire's Tomb Review
There was once a time when puzzle-based platformers ruled the roaming landscape of gaming and the Dizzy series lived large during this time, challenging players to solve its labyrinthine series of puzzles. Sadly, not everyone had the patience to crack the thick shell of logic puzzles combined with platforming agility, so it's odd that 'Wizzley Presto and the Vampires Tomb' by Spellbound Games decided to run with this strange throw-back in gameplay. Traditional d-pad, virtual stick or…

Modern Conflict™ Review
It'd be no surprise if you started to get a bit of deja'vu while playing Modern Conflict by Clickgamer. Judgement Day, a title that has since been pulled from the App Store, was the original incarnation of this action-oriented game and while its somewhat controversial theme has been stripped back, the Galcon-esque gameplay remains. Players can control multiple bases that continually generate tanks or helicopters to bulk up their army. Depending on their size, bases can generate a limi…

Wolf Boy Review
Wolf Boy by NHN Corporation puts you in the all too familiar situation of being on a casual stroll with your 'gal' when all of a sudden... out of nowhere... some 'bad dude' decides to kidnap her. Being a super-powered dynamo of a teen werewolf you set off to take on the near-endless slew of enemies that stand in your way. Wolf Boy plays much like other 2D beat'em-up titles, with d-pad controls to dash left and right and two buttons to jump and attack. After defeating a number of enemi…

Archetype Review
First-person shooters (FPS) on the iPhone have been increasingly upping the ante for a while now and Archetype by Villain takes the game to a new level with its ultra-slick graphics and smooth multiplayer gameplay. Should you be up for the challenge you can join up to nine other people fragging away their opponents in an intense online team deathmatch arena. Those familiar with other FPS titles will slip in to Archetype's default setup easily. Two analogue sticks control your movement…

HexaLex Review
HexaLex by Nathan Gray is another crack at the hexagonal-grid form of Scrabble and it's at this point that a lot of readers may switch off, but hold on, it's honestly a great implementation. Small considerations such as additional rules which can be modified or even turned off make this an extremely challenging variation on a popular board game idea. For fans of word-games it's likely you've already stumbled on this title, but the recent 2.0 updates have added some great new features…

Psychoban Review
Those familiar with Sokoban need little introduction to a title like Psychoban by Dedalord. For anyone that's lost in translation, you'll need to push blocks over the available switches in order to pass the levels in this devious puzzle title. It's a familiar style that has been explored before, but Psychoban adds an isometric 3D twist to make things a little more interesting. Moving your poor lobotomized patient is intuitive and only requires tapping on a valid spot. Selecting and mo…
