A friendship can't be shown by words only but also from its behaviors. Mini Ini Mo is a game about how should a friend be. Gilp Studio as the developer of this game tried to show us how teamwork is important in this game. Yes, at least that's the main lesson which I could learn from this game. In short story, far far away deep in the forest... There were 3 friendly creatures. One day, they found a yummy apple was hanging on the tree. They saw that and picked it without thinking. Unfortunately, it's a trap but here where the actual journey just begin. At the first time, you will play as Mini (the bird creature) only. Mini has ability to turn on/ off the switch and as far as you play, you will rescue your other friends, Ini (the monkey) and Mo (the big lump). Each creature has different abilities. Ini can jump from one platform to other nearby platform, and Mo can eat the boxes, barrels, etc and many other abilities can be revealed during the play. With their differ...

It's bit awkward for me to play this game for the first time. I found something unusual, weird, strange here. Not caused by the music nor the gameplay but the text inside this game... Yes, those texts inside really made me feel "pervert" to play this game.. wut... heck no. I have no idea what's the story behind Tale of Tales for making this kind of game. No story, no enemies... it's all about pleasure. At first, let me say if you should read the instruction or you won't get any feel to play this game. Here's the short description about this game: A flower always starts out colorless. But when you touch it, color fills the tunnel. Stay in the glowing flower as long as possible! Play slowly and gently to get a high score. Just pushing through as fast as you can will result in failure. The game wants you to take it easy and be playful. Sounds simple.. huh? Yeah, but that's not the point of this game... Re...

It's has been a long time since the last time I played Hidden Object game. I've been so bored with almost all hidden object games have similar gameplay and puzzle aspect nowadays. Until last week, I've been lucky enough can found this little gem. Morphopolis, a game which developed by  Micro Macro Games was a game with great combination between hidden object, adventure and puzzle aspect. There's no story like in fairy tale inside, but let me tell you why you should get this game. In your first time playing, there'll be brief tutorial about how to play the game. As long as you play the game, you should learn and found anything inside by yourself. Don't be too rush, this is not a game with timer nor enemies. You should explore everything with relax. I admit that I interest the game because its art. If you think art is the only value from this game, you might be wrong. I found the mind-boggling puzzle game accompanied with ambient soundtracks inside. ...

If we talk about duet, what's on your mind? Duet singers, twin sisters, etc? Today, I'll talk about a Duet game. Well, Duet Game which was developed by Kumobius can be one of the hardest game I ever play on iOS. For me, it's a game about harmony and effort. Like its title, Duet game will forced you to play as two balls together. They were connected by a circle ring. For controlling them, you can tap the left or the right screen. The ring will be rotated following your instruction. So, what's your enemies here? It's easy actually, you only face some blocks.. Yes, static and rotating blocks. However, marks my said now... It isn't easy as you might think. At least for the first time. You need to master the controls at first. It's not a fast game nor a slow game, the one who make it fast or slow was you. You're the one who decide your own path on this game. There're 9 stages on this game consist of 5-8 levels in average. The levels here call...

Honestly, I never played ZiGGURAT before. Hookball is a game which inspired by ZiGGURAT, I won't compared both of these games and said if one of them was a clone or something, I don't have any right for doing like that. The developer, Nachobeard clearly said if the game was inspired by ZiGGURAT, Noitu Love 2 and the "coffee break" game in Mario Paint. So, enough for the intro and let's move to see the gameplay of the game. Actually, you won't be feel too hard for playing this game since the tutorial was clearly enough to be learned. However, let me tell you about the control of the game once again. Your main goal here is survive as long as you can. You have 2 challenges here.. No, may be more.. but the focus are 2; first be careful of the enemies, second watch out for the timer. In conclusion, you need to survive as long as you can without getting hurt? Hmm, really :P You will be a flying man here, but you don't have wings bro.. you need to h...

When I see the trailer for the first time, I think I was watching a DISNEY movie trailer. It made me so excited to see the actual movie. Unfortunately, my thought was wrong. It's a puzzle game... Yes, buddy it's a game... A game which developed by Thoopid, indie developers from Cape Town, South Africa. Snailboy is an unique physics based puzzle game. Wait... did I just say physics? Don't worry friend, this one absolutely not an angry bird game. The game might uses 'catapult' concept, but definitely not an angry bird game. That has been a long time ago. Now, it's time for a snail to prove his existence as a hero. Play as a snail which looking for justice? No no... not that... He looking for his perfect shells. All of his precious shells has been gone. Help him to bring back his shells. The game is so easy to be played. You just need to pull, set aim for flinging the snailboy. You need to collect all the apples as quick as possible if you want to ge...

I like the game who has great atmosphere and bring some pleasure though I just seen it in glance. Forma 8, probably one who could hooked me up when I saw the trailer at the first time. Mixed Bag has been developed this since 2011, hopefully we can see the actual game soon. The game might has same background story similar like other atmosphere adventure game. Stranded in strange universe, and try to survive or escape from that odd world also looking for some answers from mind-boggling puzzle aspect are the main feature of this game. I wonder what's the new features inside the game, I'm 100% sure there'll be a secret for the main key that make this game different from other. As seen in the video, you'll play as a living ball like creature. You'll start your journey, lands in strange world. There are so many different environments inside, in my opinion it's looks like an electric factory or may be an abandoned company. Not just like that, there...
