148Apps round-up: I Am Box, BrainSnack, Chipolte Scarecrow, and more
The week in casual games
Time is limited. Apps are plentiful.
How can you make sense of the ever-increasing number of new games in the App Store? Well, by reading Pocket Gamer, of course. But we can't possibly cover everything, and there are some games that just don't fit in our wheelhouse.
Thankfully, our friends over at 148Apps are here to save the day. Take a look at some of the casual games that have caught the attention of the 148Apps team...
I Am Box
By Jan Ivanecky
"A fast-paced colour matching puzzle game that's virtually impossible to beat." (Angela LaFollette)
Flora: Jewel Quest
By Sami Group Studio
"It might look quite beautiful at times, but Flora: Jewel Quest lacks the heart of a good game." (Jennifer Allen)
BrainSnack
By Cosmic Helpdesk BVBA
"Offering a series of intelligent puzzles, BrainSnack is the ideal way to get one's brain ticking." (Jennifer Allen)
BlackOut: Bring The Color Back In The Sky
By Adrenaline Amusements
"Help the Googabonga restore light and colour back into their world as they travel the galaxy and defeat the evil Goorano alien race in this exciting arcade action game!" (Lucy Ingram)
Fleet of One
By Polymorph Systems
"A retro-style shoot-em-up with an interesting new twist." (Mike Deneen)
Linkies Puzzle Rush
By Ludia
"There might be a twist to proceedings but Linkies Puzzle Rush is a fairly predictable and safe Match–3 game." (Jennifer Allen)
I Am Level
By Smiling Bag
"Pinball and Metroidvania: two tastes that go better together?" (Carter Dotson)
Chipotle Scarecrow
By Chipotle Mexican Grill
"Its heart might be in the right place, and it might be briefly fun, but Chipotle Scarecrow lacks staying power." (Jennifer Allen)
All this, plus a collection of iOS 7 reactions and release day goodies, and Carter Dotson investigates Game It Forward.
