The top iOS and Android sales this week - (October 29th)
Best crack open your piggy banks
With Halloween just around the corner it's hardly a surprise to see spookier and unsettling games nip a bit off their prices. Games like Thimbleweed Park, Fran Bow, Death Road to Canada, and more should definitely keep you busy.
In fact, I'm already exhausted and excited to think of all of the man-hours I'd have to put in to complete everything I love to, or want to, play here. Though, with the season of spooks at our door, and lots of scary films to be watched, at least you don't just have to stay awake with nothing to do at night.
Well, unless you're like James Gilmour and don't get phased by anything remotely haunting.

.projekt
In a game all about shapes and shadows, .projekt makes you think about perspective to solve these minimal puzzles. With two walls on either side of the isometric levels, you need to add or detract blocks to create the required shadows. There's also the added challenge of trying to use as few blocks as possible, but without the pressure of timers.

There are still 180 levels available and you need to use your big ol' brain to come up with the right strategy to counter the enemy army, so see how you get on.
