Dropout Games are back and looking to follow on the success of Blyss, a game which perfectly combined relaxing visuals with fun and challenging gameplay with their new game Neo Angle.

Neo Angle which is inspired by the 80s neon art style and retro synth scene is an innovative game, full of complex puzzles for you to complete. The game introduces you to the gameplay elements in a simple fashion with a very basic tutorial on how to move through the levels. which is done by swiping in the direction you want your triangle pieces to move.

The aim is to swipe your way through the level collecting pyramids as you go and eventually ending up at a designated end triangle. The game becomes difficult with restrictions put in place when you collect a pyramid. Each time you do so the blocks you have gone through become locked, meaning you can’t go back on yourself. This forces you to take a very specific path to complete the levels. Eventually the game becomes more difficult introducing other elements to the gameplay with the addition of portals and switches. Because of this the player must adapt to the situation in order to advance to the next level.

Thankfully the game is set at a steady pace. There are no lives, and you have an unlimited amount of retries, meaning the game doesn’t thrust-rate the player. That’s not to say it’s not difficult, because at times it is. Some levels can take up to ten minutes to solve, whilst others can be done first try. The varying difficulty of the levels are what keeps the game interesting and makes it quite addicting. Continue reading this post ->

Today we take a look at and review this very popular iOS casino game app called Slotomania developed by Playtika LTD. Slotomania is a very large and massive online video slots game which is filled with over 55 slot games and thousands of online players. When you first run the game, your eyes are given the pleasure of seeing very many highly detailed and colorful graphics. For a game designed to run on iPhones, iPods, and iPads, there is a lot of detail and quality in the graphics of this game that you can see for yourself in the screenshot below.

You might be wondering, how do you play this game? The rules of the game are simple, it’s basically like playing slot machines in real life, except instead of having to go to a casino to play the slot machines, you can basically play it anywhere you want. First you choose a slot game that you want to play, the first available slot game that you can play is Farm Fortune, the rest are locked, and for accomplishing certain feats in the game such as leveling up, you get to unlock more slot games. For the Farm Fortune slot game, there are 9 different slot symbols with five different columns you can match them in. All you need to get is to get two symbols in a row, and if the two symbols are eligible for that line, then you get that many points depending on how much the scoring chart gives. To spin the slot machine, you tap on the “SPIN!” button on the bottom right corner. You can also tap and hold in order to open up the “auto spin” menu where you can let the app automatically spin for you without you clicking.

You want to earn as much money as possible in this game, as indicated by the number on the upper left corner. The more you play and the more symbols that you can connect per line, the more you win. You can also change the amount of money that you use to bet per play, it’s definitely riskier to bet a larger number of money, but you are able to win a larger amount of cash if you are able to match symbols that round. There are also three special symbols called Scatter, Bonus, and Wild. Wild symbols basically act as a wild card, meaning it substitutes as the form for any other symbol, so you can match very easily with a wild card as long as the lines connect for that symbol. Scatter symbols are hard to get in a row, but if you get at least three in a row you get a certain number of free rolls without having to bet anything, which basically means free money if you win. Possibly the most fun special symbol out of all three is the bonus symbol. If you get three bonus symbols in a row matching a line, you get to play a special mini-game depending on the slot machine game that you are playing on. For example, if you play the Farm Fortune slot machine game and get three bonus symbols in a row, you get to play the Beat the Mole game where you can earn bonus coins by choosing the right vegetables without moles on them. Bonus games are very fun and rewarding mini-games you can play if you’re fortunate enough to get three bonus symbols in a row.

What are some flaws and weaknesses of the game? As stated earlier, the fact that you have to download more data in order to play new levels of the game is disappointing, however, it does slim the game down so if you don’t have the storage space, at least you still play the initial slot machine game. Other than that there’s really not that many weaknesses that this game has. Overall, Slotomania is one of the top slot machine game that you can download and play on your Apple device. It doesn’t have very many negative aspects, and overall the game is fun to play. It has great graphics, addicting gameplay, and overall the rules and interface have been well thought out and make plenty of sense. If you are looking for a casino game to play, look no further, this game is one of the best out there.

Rating 4/5

I first heard about Settlers of Catan a couple of years back, when my sons had played it at a friend’s house. They really enjoyed it, so I purchase a copy for our family vacation. After one game, we were hooked. The whole family now plays including our extended family.

What makes Catan so enjoyable? The rules are relatively straightforward, almost anyone can win any game, up to 6 people can play at a time, and you have to interact with the other players. Catan has been out for iOS for some time now and is even available for Android devices. I have played the Android version but have never had a chance to try the iOS version until now.

The goal of Catan is to dominate your island, either by having the most knights, longest road, most settlements or cities. You do this by acquiring or trading resources: wood, sheep, ore, clay. The iOS version of the game is very true to the board game, so if you have played before you should not have any trouble getting into the game.

The game is broken into two sections: Campaign of Custom Game. To play campaign you need to purchase one or both of the expansions. The two expansions are Seafarers and Cities and Knights. Each expansion is $4.99 USD and independent of the other. When you do purchase an expansion, you until a number of maps and scenarios you can play in the custom game area. In the custom area, you can create a game, continue a game, or watch the tutorial. The tutorial is broken up into different aspects of the game so you can focus on just the parts you want/need. There is also an Almanac with terms and definitions for you.

When you start a custom game, you can choose from a number of different scenarios, each gives you the keys to victory and a general layout of the map. As I mentioned earlier, many of the games are part of the expansions, so you will need to purchase them to unlock. There is a lite version of both expansions present when you purchase Catan, so you can get a favor of what they are like. After you chose the scenario, you can modify a few other options like, number of players, human or AI, victory points, dice mode, robber mode, etc. You can do multi-player on the same device. There has been some talk about online multiplayer but not sure its status. You also can only save 1 game at a time and there are no profiles.

So how is the game? Great. It plays well on the iPod Touch 5th Genertion. The graphics are sharp and the game board is very easy to view (pitch to zoom) and the menu items do not take up that much space. After playing a couple of rounds, you will get the different buttons down. Gameplay is smooth and overall, I think the game is a bit harder than the board version because I find it difficult trying to remember of keep track of the other players resources.

If you enjoy the board game and want a portable, well developed, and supported electronic version of the game, then I recommend you purchase Catan for iOS. With two expansions and possibly more on the way, Catan for iOS offers a ton of gaming. So see if you can help the intrepid seafarers on the new island that they have discovered!

Hairy Tales is a iPhone game by Arges Systems that stars the Hairys. As you may have guessed from their names, the Hairys are a bunch of hairy fellows. They aren’t too bright and without your guidance they would happily walk of a cliff.

They’re in a tile-based world that’s been taken over by evil and corruption and it’s up to you to arrange their environment so they reach their goal without getting hurt in the process. When you first start playing a ghost hand shows you how you can shape the levels to dictate where the Hairys walk. The controls are really simple and you’ll get the hang of them in no time.
