148Apps round-up: Circus Life, Sky Boom Boom, Tank Domination, 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...
Pet Zoometery
By G5 Entertainment
"It'll take a while for Pet Zoometery to truly develop, but it's a quite charming twist on the typical city building concept." (Jennifer Allen)
Oddlight
By Octopus 8 Studios
"Oddlight is a quirky arcade adventure game that requires gamers to leave their finger on the screen at all times." (Angela LaFollette)
Tank Domination
By Game Insight
"War? What is it good for? Killing some time while driving a tank, I suppose." (Carter Dotson)
Sky Boom Boom
By ZQGames
"As excitable as a puppy, Sky Boom Boom is a familiar Endless Flyer but a fun one nonetheless." (Jennifer Allen)
Starborn Anarkist
By ZeMind Games
"Arcade games were designed back in the day to be insanely hard in an effort to eat up quarters. While the modern arcade is more of a novelty at this point, the spirit of difficulty still remains in a title such as this." (Mike Deneen)
Circus Life
By Dolce Vita Games
"Light-hearted and intriguing, Circus Life has a ton of promise but is plagued with repetitive gameplay and freemium frustrations." (Lucy Ingram)
Shifts
By Threadbare Games
"In this sci-fi single player board game, players must choose their crew's work schedule to survive and save humanity." (Campbell Bird)
Letter from Nowhere: A Hidden Object Mystery
By G5 Entertainment
"Letters From Nowhere will last Hidden Object game fans a long time, but that's partly down to its restrictive energy system." (Jennifer Allen)
All this, plus Jeff Scott reviews the Jam Fusion Wireless Stereo Headphones and the Uberbuds Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds, while Carter Dotson takes a closer look at Spark Motion Pro.
