For the math lovers: CALCULATOR: THE GAME![]()
We usually use calculators to derive answers for our everyday math problems. Calculator – The Game flips it around literally and gives you the answer and the number of moves but how to get there is completely up to you. The game changes things up by adding different functions and variations to the calculator for each different problem to solve. It’s not addition, subtraction, multiplication and division anymore but adding in single digits and finding what works. Feeling nerdy and in the mood for some mathematical problem solving? This one is a perfect choice.
For a dose of adrenaline racing: SPACE TUNNEL![]()
Space Tunnel reminds us a lot of this past September’s indie PC release Astral Traveler minus the platforming. Space Tunnel is based heavily on high reflex as you charge through the level to avoid obstacles and pick up gems. You can try to beat your friends or keep playing to beat your own personal score. The color palette is sharp and Space Tunnel looks great especially when paired up with great energetic music to match its fast paced environment.
For a retro game with a twist: BALLZ![]()
Are you a fan of retro arcade game Breakout? We sure are. The hours we spent playing that game are completely countless. Ballz, developed by Ketchapp Games takes that concept and notches the difficulty higher as they add on numbers to the surface of the tiles. These numbers indicate how many times the ball needs to hit that tile for it disappear. Of course, Ballz still makes it fair by giving you power-ups where you get to increase the amount of balls. Its colorful and every bit as every addictive as what inspired it.
For an action rogue-like: ONCE UPON A TOWER![]()
Who says princesses need to be saved by a prince? The prince just got eaten by the guardian dragon and the princess with her war hammer hand is going to bash her way down the tower and out of this prison. Once Upon a Tower is a cute game featuring the ability to unlock different princesses and objectives to complete along the procedurally generated map. It’s easy to die and retry. The controls sometimes lack the finesse but the movements shows a lot of thought was put into the mechanics along with the variety of enemies, obstacles and power-ups.
