Alien Hive [Android, Free] [iOS Universal, Free]

+ Colorful, original character design and art
+ Sci-fi plants and genetics is a cool theme for a puzzle game
+ Cool system, mixing Triple Town with a sliding puzzle
- Super frustrating to play once you hit “the wall” where they expect you to pay - I don’t mind paying to play more, but playing this game long-term would be extra expensive as you’ll always need more power-ups.

Run Sheldon [iOS Universal, Free]

Beautifully animated, cool character designs, gorgeous backgrounds, pretty good UI and menus!

The Other Brothers [iOS Universal, $1.99]

+ Epic pixel art
+ Cool character design

- Horrendous controls and bad level design together make this good-looking game a no-buy :(

Shadow Escaper [iOS, Free]

+ Great character design and 3D models
+ Background design is cartoony, fresh
+ Cool purple color scheme
+ Super fast and smooth…

- But super slow on old devices
- Menus are overloaded (look at that crazy title screen!!)
- Don’t always know what’s going on :P
- Black bars on the side

Wonderputt [iPad, $0.99] [Web, Free]

Keeps surprising you by changing the background elements and the obstacles in super dynamic way - a short, contained bit of fun! Quite inventive for a mini-putt game.

Hackycat [iOS, $0.99]

So beautiful, simple, quirky and original. Who’d have thought a game about kicking cats could be so elegant?
