148Apps round-up: Glob, RedShift, Tower Math, 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...
The Ghost Archives: Haunting of Shady Valley
By G5 Entertainment
"Explore an abandoned mining town in this spooky but fun casual Hidden Object game." (Jennifer Allen)
Timberman Golden Edition
By Digital Melody
"Timberman's simple arcade-style gameplay won't cause players to break into a sweat, but it should entertain collectors of high scores." (Nadia Oxford)
QuizTix: Movies
By QuizTix
"Answer plenty of movie trivia questions in this colorful and fun quiz game." (Jennifer Allen)
Tower Math
By Freecloud Design
"Combining tower defense with sums is an educational and fun move for this title." (Jennifer Allen)
Paperchase
By NurdyMuny
"Like a piece of parchment, Paperchase is beautiful but thin." (Jordan Minor)
Contact Game
By Caetano Ianneta
"Simple to play but lacking that extra 'oomph' for the 'one more go' factor, Contact is a fast-paced matching game." (Jennifer Allen)
RedShift
By Belief Engine
"RedShift is a fear-inducing, pulse-pounding race against time (and total annihilation)." (Nadia Oxford)
Glob
By Prime8 Entertainment
"Glob is a cute little critter, but his game is just too frustrating to keep company with for any significant amount of time." (Nadia Oxford)
Wreckman: Rise of a Hero
By Playground Publishing
"This is how you straddle a wrecking ball and save the world while doing it, MILEY." (Lee Hamlet)
Coolson's Pocket Pack
By Things Made Out Of Other Things
"Coolson's Pocket Pack is a polished word game, a great distraction for adults." (Amy Solomon)
All this, plus Jordan Minor previews Globber's Escape, and Carter Dotson risks the perils of Canada's App Store to preview Overkill Mafia.
