Get your phones out, Mainly Mobile is back with a brand new episode. Now that I have an iOS device, I am excited to be able to balance out the podcast to cover both Android and iOS games and apps! Hurray!
I have completed FRAMED (iOS only), and it is a great-looking and clever game from 2014 by Loveshack Entertainment, located in Australia. The comic-book visuals and control with a noir feel was a unique combination that made it stand out and pull me in.
Also from Australia, Halfbrick Studios created a game in 2010 called Fruit Ninja for multiple platforms, including both iOS and Android, and I finally understand the mass appeal of the game.
Hitman GO is a cool take on the Hitman series for Android and iOS by Ubisoft Montréal released in 2014. They take the assassin and put him on a diorama that looks like a board game, where you solve puzzles in a turn-based fashion.
Type:Rider is a game from France released in 2013 from a confusing studio/producer combination that hopefully someone can figure out. The game is a work of art that teaches you the history of written language.
For the PC crowd, I recommend checking out Mini Metro by New Zealand company Dinosaur Polo Club. The game is about building simple transit systems in various cities with a simple drag-and-drop control scheme.
Jstebz has been playing a lot of Skyward by Ketchapp which is has a nice Monument Valley look to it, Linken which is a connect-the-dots puzzle game made by LevelInd, and Bamba, a game in which you must keep your little Frenchman upon his hipster unicycle, developed by Simon Ducroquet.
We also checked out Heads Up! A trivia game app made by Ellen Degeneres herself. Who knew she was a secret game dev. Jstebz is on the lookout for more trivia or party games that can be played on one or more devices (Android AND iOS) for game nights with a group of people. Let us know if you have any suggestions!
Follow Mainly Mobile on Twitter and Instagram and let us know what you're playing on your phone or tablet.
