Pavilion

Android Police coverage: Beautiful 2D puzzler Pavilion makes its way to the SHIELD TV for $10

Sometimes you just have to sit back and marvel at the art that goes into games these days. The gameplay in Pavilion is billed as "fourth-person puzzle," but really that just means that the avatar moves around on his own instead of taking direct commands: each jaw-dropping level is essentially a path that needs to be cleared with various puzzle elements. At the moment it's available only on the SHIELD, though Android at large should be able to buy it at some point.

Pavilion is optimized for NVIDIA SHIELD devices and requires a gamepad. Pavilion, the fourth-person puzzling adventure from Visiontrick Media, throws you directly into its mysterious world without any text tutorials or beginning explanations. It is a puzzle game portrayed through exploration and audio-visual imagery. By interacting and observing you gradually, bit by bit, learn things about both the puzzling gameplay and the world itself.

Animation Throwdown: TQFC

Android Police coverage: Animation Throwdown is available to all after geo-limited beta

FOX likes to market all of its allegedly grown-up animation shows on the same block, so it's not surprising that they're pushing for a crossover card game. What IS surprising is that Futurama and American Dad are both in the game, despite the fact that the network kicked them to the curb and they had to come back on other channels. Anyway, the single-player campaign plays through a cross-dimensional story, and in-app purchases go up to a hundred bucks. There are better card games to be had if you want something without familiar cartoons.

For the first time ever, five of your favorite animated shows are together in one amazing collectible card game. FAMILY GUY. BOB’S BURGERS. FUTURAMA. AMERICAN DAD. KING OF THE HILL. It’s Animation Throwdown: The Quest for Cards. Featuring hundreds of your favorite characters and moments from your favorite episodes. Collect character cards, optimize your deck, and create new combos as you fight in an epic card battle bacchanal.

Don't Starve: Pocket Edition

I've been wondering when this one would come to Android. Don't Starve takes the popular idea of a crafting-based survival game and applies it to a top-down interface, with an art style that blends dark cartoony character design and flat, line-heavy woodcut drawings. The black comedy aspect of the game (basically everything wants to eat you) helps tell a trippy sci-fi story. The mobile version is currently in "unreleased" status (read: beta) for just $4 with no in-app purchases. Compatibility is odd, too - it might be intended only for tablets.

Don’t Starve: Pocket Edition, brings the hit PC game enjoyed by over 6 million players to Android. Now you can experience the uncompromising wilderness survival game full of science and magic on the go. Play as Wilson, an intrepid Gentleman Scientist who has been trapped and transported to a mysterious wilderness world. Wilson must learn to exploit his environment and its inhabitants if he ever hopes to escape and find his way back home.

Dog Sled Saga

Dog Sled Saga is a sports management game with a unique hook: you're a dog sled musher who must train and manage your canine team. There's a bit of runner-style action in the races, but the meat of the game is managing the dogs and the small business that surrounds a sponsored Iditarod-style racing team. You can hire and fire staff or animals, breed new puppies, and manage sponsorships. The game uses Google Drive to sync with iOS and/or Steam versions, and there are no in-app purchases.

As a rookie musher, foster a dogsledding team whose skills will grow if they're treated right. Week by week, get to know your dogs' unique traits, and carve your story into the trails of the Mount St. Something region. Dog Sled Saga has a pick-up-and-play dogsled racing. Each dog's speed is hindered by hunger. Lob a limited supply of food to them to keep at full speed. Hazards on the track await.

Bulb Boy

Don't let the cutesy, Kirby-style character design of Bulb Boy fool you: this point-and-click adventure game is straight freaky. The incongruity of art style and tone, where players will often die in gruesome, horror-filled animated sequences, reminds me of The Binding of Isaac. You play as an animate light bulb who can use his electric head to solve logic puzzles and (hopefully) banish a collection of Cronenbergish nightmares from your house. It's not for the faint of heart, but at least it's cheap at $2.50 with no in-app purchases.

One gloomy night, Bulb Boy wakes suddenly from a frightening nightmare to discover that evil has overshadowed the Bulbhouse. His family has disappeared and there are horrid monsters lurking in the shadows. Gather the courage and use his glass head to save everything he loves. Find light in yourself. Bulb Boy is an intuitive 2D point & click horror adventure about a boy with a glowing head (alright, it's a bulb...) inspired by Machinarium and Gobliiins. Solve puzzles, defeat wicked monsters and reveal bulby's abilities to unfold a twisted tale.

Titan HD

Titan is a fantasy-themed tile board game that dates all the way back to 1980. This digital translation of the game keeps the hexagonal tactical setup and eschews any fancy visualizations, but brings the 6-person multiplayer support to both local and online matches, including AI and human opponents in both modes. Everything prospective players need (including a tutorial) is included for five bucks, but the game is only for tablets.

The epic struggle for domination is now available for Android tablets. Players take the role of a Titan, moving through the constantly changing terrain of the Land with Legions of Ogres, Gargoyles and other monsters of myth and legend. Players move their Legions along specific pathways recruiting creatures to their side and using those Legions to battle their opponents. Battles then take place on separate terrain maps where only the strongest survive.

Monolithic

Monolithic is sort of a single-player version of Jenga with wooden shapes that can come in any size. You can lay the irregular blocks in any orientation without having to worry about physics... up to a point. If you reach a vertical checkpoint and your tower isn't structurally sound, it all comes crashing down. Currency-based upgrades let you change or skip blocks or drop a new sturdy base. Take note: I found the controls really clunky and difficult to use. Monolithic does have ads and in-app purchases for currency that go up to $5.

Build a tower of impossible shapes in Monolithic. A 3d puzzler with a gorgeous minimalistic 3d art style. Place your shapes, rotate them into place, rotate around your tower and watch as it grows bigger. Towers need to be sturdy, so make sure you put your pieces in the right place.

-Soothing and relaxing gameplay

-Great original soundtrack

-Intuitive controls and original gameplay

Heist

There was a glut of board- and card-style games for the Chromecast a few years ago, but it's slowed since. This new one has an interesting premise: teams of "cops," "robbers," and "bankers" try alternately to steal or protect a bank's cash stash. The point is to turn over your team's cards without revealing the opposing cards. Two modes are available, words or pictures, making Heist appropriate even for teams with young children. The game is free to try with a $3 in-app purchase for the full unlock.

Heist is a board game for your living room and is played with Chromecast. Team up and compete to see who's better, Cops, Robbers, or Bankers. In Heist, two or three teams compete to reveal their teams cards first. A Chromecast is the Game Board and the Captain provides a single word hint and how many cards that hint relates to on the Game Board. Teams then use the hint to uncover their cards before the other teams. Make sure you avoid other teams cards and bombs or you may lose.

The Virus: Cry for Help

Do you like the Lifeline series? The conversational text-based play style, the notifications for game progression? Do you wish it had more zombies? Well here you go then. The Virus casts you as a nameless outsider helping a woman trapped inside a zombie-infested city. Notifications that progress the story can be replied to in-line. The Virus is free to download with a $2 in-app purchase to unlock the whole story.

A whole city belongs to the dead and a devastating virus turns people into mindless monsters. Hanna's a survivor and right now she's fighting for her life... and you receive her call for help. Use your smartphone or tablet to communicate with Hanna. Help her and maybe it's enough to save her and even everyone else. You decide the course of the adventure - in real time. Hanna will frequently send you text messages: in the app, via push notification. You can directly answer the push-messages without starting the app.

Put A Sock In It!

Put a Sock In It is, broadly, an adventure game, in that your dialogue choices are the primary means by which the story is progressed. The thing is, it's a story all about sad and sarcastic sock puppets, and you (the player) are a bored woman stuck in a locked building telling it to yourself. Hand-drawn visuals and biting humor combine for a unique indie game. It's free with no in-app purchases.

Having locked herself in a stairwell, Serena is quickly beginning to run out of distractions. Thankfully, she has two colorful socks and a penchant for amusing herself. You choose a pair of socks and to pass the time Serena will weave short, humorous skits based on your selections, with storylines ranging from romantic melodrama between Princess and Stable Boy to merciless quarrels between an evil Wizard and spooky Ghost.

orbt - Gravity Defying Action

In Orbt, you play the unlucky god of a planet that orbits a black hole. It's your job to nudge the planet higher or lower in its orbit to avoid incoming extinction-level meteors. The result is a balancing act between dodging fiery death for your Lilliputian worshipers or letting them all collapse into a gravity well. There's no real endgame to Orbt, just see how long you can last. A single $1 in-app purchase removes ads.

Simply touch the screen to stop your planet from getting sucked into the black hole and do your best to avoid all dangerous obstacles. Survive as long as you can, the closer you are to the center; the faster you achieve points. Good Luck.

● Simple One Touch Controls

● Endless, fast paced, challenging action Game play

● Optimized for a wide variety of phones and tablets

● A single In-App purchase allows you to remove the ads

One More Jump

One More Jump is pretty simple as far as platformers go: tap to make the auto-running square jump, grab coins, avoid obstacles. The hook comes from the game's surface system: the dot jumps in a sort of orbital path around the platforms, sticking to white surfaces but being killed by everything else. (Watch the video to get the gist.) It's a surprisingly compelling casual game with 70 levels included in the free download. Ads can be banished for just over two dollars.

One More Jump is a hand-crafted intense arcade platformer from the team that brought you One More Line and Thumb Drift. Simple to learn one touch controls. Hard to master levels that will test your muscle memory, concentration and sanity.

  • 70+ Hand crafted levels (new levels added every month)
  • Insanely-hard challenge levels. (no seriously, enter at own risk..)
  • Daily endless mode : One new level every day.
  • Customise your character with unlockable themes and avatars
  • Original music soundtrack by Batterie

Circle Affinity

Circle Affinity is, broadly, a platforming game. But that doesn't really sell it: you play as a little man who runs left or right outside a circle. Jump at the right time and you'll start running around the inside, wherein you can jump to the outside of another circle. At irregular intervals the beat drops, making the whole screen fill up with hazards. It's one of those twitchy games that revels in its simple difficulty. Circle Affinity is free with ads and IAP according to the dev, but I can't find them so far.

circle affinity is a love letter to circles. a circular platformer about the beauty and joy of infinitely running around in circles for some reason. with a control scheme that's definitely not confusing at all, navigate your character through a series of circular hazards. bring circles to a forgotten circle, and uncover a circle hidden deep beneath the circles.

• pretty fun gameplay (it's all right)

• 60 color palettes to unlock (with circles)

• there are some ads and iap (i'm sorry)

• no filler - a veritable infinity of meticulously handcrafted circles

• 3 circular game modes

• 3 circular challenge modes (epilepsy warning)

• 11 original & remix tracks from jack+jim (they're good)

Sticklings

Sticklings is a lot like Lemmings, or Chu Chu Rocket, if you're a fan of obscure SEGA puzzle games. By that I mean the player guides a line of mindless stick figures marching across a stage, and it's your job to get them safely around hazards and traps. You can build out the stage with new bits and pieces to get the physics engine to cooperate with you. The stark 2.5D style is all about the puzzles, and Sticklings is free with IAP that tops out at just a dollar.

Sticklings is a unique puzzle game with the mission to get a herd of Stickmen into their goals by using various abilities. Like a lemming, a Stickman just walks and walks and it is your objective to correctly assign the correct task to a Stickman to lead all the others the correct path. Abilities include blocking, self destruct, jump, bomb throwing, rush and bridge building. Levels are limited by time with the option to earn gold, silver and bronze medals. And if you fail there is always the option to nuke them.

DOFUS Touch

DOFUS Touch is an old-fashioned top-down tactical RPG in the vein of games like Final Fantasy Tactics, though there's a bigger focus on exploring the world and less on complex military campaigns. It's a compelling little combo, and it helps that the stylish character designs wouldn't touch a faux-retro pixel art with a ten foot bo staff. Multiplayer and PVP models are present, but mostly to justify the pricey IAP system. Give it a look if you want something modern in a mobile RPG.

The ultimate adventure is at your fingertips in this colossal game. While hunting for the legendary dragon eggs, TRAVEL throughout a universe without limits, MEET players from all over the world, and CREATE your own legend. Fight unique creatures and fearsome bosses, take up a profession, make use of your resources, become the leader of a guild, lead raids, participate in tournaments... With DOFUS Touch, there's adventure for all kinds.

Fired Up

Hopping around at the end of a high-powered water hose like the most overzealous riot control officer ever seems like a really inefficient way to fight fires, but that's the premise behind Fired Up. It's basically a vertical jumping game with obstacles above you that must be cleared once they're below you. As a twitch game with only a few points it's decent, but the controls aren't great and the ads often get in the way of flow. It's free with no in-app purchases.

FIRE. Extinguish fires and save as many people as you can in this thrilling arcade game from the team that brought you MMM Fingers and Super Stickman Golf 3.

  • Fun One Touch Controls
  • Frantic Arcade Action
  • Leaderboards and Achievements

BEWARE, Square

Beware Square is a super-simple and minimal platformer that borrows quite a lot from games like Limbo. You're an auto-running square trying to get through a world of black obstacles and innocuously deadly red stuff. There's a horror sheen over the entire experience, though it's hard to be genuinely frightened by a bunch of geometric shapes. It's free with IAP that only goes up to $2.

Have you ever felt like the world is out to take your life? Well, maybe it is. BEWARE, Square. Some say it's an impossible game, and only a few are brave enough to give it a try. BEWARE, Square is a side-scrolling atmospheric survival platformer with the challenge of surviving multiple nights in an immersive world full of dangerously creepy geometric shapes.

RPG Dragon Sinker

Most of Kemco's RPGs attempt to travel back to the golden 16-bit era, but Dragon Sinker goes all the way back to an NES style clearly inspired by the original Final Fantasy and Phantasy Star games. It positively revels in its devotion to old-timey graphics and chiptune music... but that homage rings kinda hollow when you remember that you'll have to pay for in-app purchases of up to $20 to avoid grinding combat. The premium version offers a boost at the beginning of the game, but still has IAP.

An all-new retro-style RPG free to play in its entirety. Join forces with other humans, elves, and dwarves, and set off on a journey to slay the evil dragon, Wyrmvarg. Employing 8-bit graphics and sound that hark back to the golden age of RPGs, Dragon Sinker brings a visual and audio feast to the table of hungry gamers starving for the nostalgia of the great classics of yesteryear.

Red Dwarf XI : The Game

As an American, I'm only vaguely aware that Red Dwarf is a satirical sci-fi comedy. But I do know that fans absolutely adore the series, and are probably ready to jump into this officially licensed mobile game with both feet. It has a lot of 90s PC flair to it, and by that I mean it's a series of mini-games only lightly connected to the themes of the actual show. It's two bucks with no in-app purchases, but initial reviews are iffy.

Red Dwarf XI : The Game is an action-packed mobile game that ties in with series XI of the multi-award winning TV show Red Dwarf. Take command of the mining ship Red Dwarf and follow the characters on a journey through deep space, trying to find earth. The game mirrors the episodes within the series and contains additional content written by Doug Naylor specifically for the game. For the first time ever, fans and friends can now play in the Red Dwarf Universe on the App Store anytime, anywhere.

The Final Take

Survival horror is hard to manage on mobile, where a lack of immersion can be a block to actual fear. The Final Take is trying an end-run around that by throwing in some of the "found footage" movie genre. Other than that bit of novelty there doesn't appear to be too much that hasn't been done in console horror games already, but the fact that it's mobile should be enough for at least some fans to check it out.

Relive dark footage recorded from the perspective of multiple characters in this unique first person horror. Each character has had an alternate experience in different locations, but they all have something in common which connects them. Take control of a young female and relive these moments through found footage to uncover the sinister link between the strangers.

Zombie Derby 2

Zombie Derby 2 is a 2D driving game a la Trials - the stages are 2D, the graphics are not. Also there are zombies. The point is to kill as many of the walkers as possible, earning new cars, weapons, cosmetic options, and upgrades so you can efficiently kill some more. Graphics are nice, but if you've played one of these games before, the addition of zombies probably won't be any more appealing than the $18 in-app purchases.

Tired of typical shooters and hundreds of boring titles? Check out this sequel of a great arcade game with cool 3D graphics. Brutal upgradable cars, big guns and daredevil speed will steer you through places that are chock-a-block with zombies... It’s going to be a really exhilarating fight that no one will want to miss. The dangerous post-apocalyptic world is crawling with zombies and only the bravest and most experienced drivers and the toughest survivors will still be left standing.

GUNSHIP BATTLE: SECOND WAR

Here's an alternate history war game with a rather arcade take on aerial combat. You're a mercenary pilot shooting everything possible after the end of WWII. So basically a murderer with a plane. But there's something cathartic about the simple controls and ludicrously powerful weapons, even if the grinding IAP-driven format isn't your cup of tea. At least there's a nice variety of game modes and aircraft.

Prepare yourselves to takeoff for Second War. Confront fierce battles and survive the aftermath of war. It’s now the 1950s and the Great War has ended, but the Jade Mercenaries still find themselves in another maelstrom. Become a member of the Jade Mercenaries and wreak havoc over the battlefield with the most powerful gunships in history: The Spitfire, Warhawk, and Saetta. Prove that you are worthy to be named as the Ace Pilot in the Second War.

Hackers

If I described a hacker-themed puzzle game as vaguely similar to World of Goo, you'd probably think I was having you on. But the vaguely web-like puzzle/combat stages in Hackers remind me of nothing so much as the gooey trapezoids from that game. It's a lot more complex, of course, with a wide variety of nodules and upgrades that sort of fit the hacking theme and expand the logic gameplay. IAP goes up to $100, though.

Dive into cyber space to develop and secure your own virtual 3D network and hack various targets around the world. The darknet has never been so accessible. With this high-end cyber combat visual interface you can research programs, build your hacker reputation, loot or fight for your country in the First World Cyberwar.

Where’s Monsieur Pug?

This game uses a real-world map and GPS to send players on a scavenger hunt. Yes, it's a bit like Pokémon GO, but with less competition and more doggy dress-up. You can leave dogs at strategic spots to try and find more of them, which you photograph in AR fashion to collect. In-app purchases of up to $100 give you some in-game boosts.

As a new agent in a mysterious organization, your task is to use your smartphone to track Monsieur Pug’s every move. Hire pugs – your own double agents – and place them in strategic locations. Is your target hiding near the corner store? In the local mall? On the bridge across town? Hide your cunning canines and be on the lookout. Rise in rank by detecting other players’ pugs, and unlock fancy (and adorable.) accessories that will improve your dogs’ abilities… All in the hope of completing your mission: finding Monsieur Pug.

Dungeon of Gravestone

If you can imagine Crossy Road reshuffled into a dungeon-crawler, you'd basically get something like Dungeon of Gravestone. Isometric movement is spiced up with some very simple combat, and the game encourages "communication" with other players by leaving notes on gravestones, a la Dark Souls. The visual style is spot-on for the Minecraft trend. In-app purchases go up to $100.

Dive into dungeon and fight death in this new RPG In this world nothing awaits you but death. Dying, resurrection - vicious circle for those who aim at depths of the dungeon. Only thing to change are gravestones increasing in numbers... The heroes awaken in this god forsaken place. and those who wander the streets aimlessly. Unaware of the faith shared by deceased, they all set their feet into the dungeon. And once again, new tombstone arises...

Crazy Circle

Ketchapp's latest twitch game is pretty basic: tap to advance the row among a series of rotating circles, hitting the color pads and missing the blank ones. It's the sort of thing that fans of Super Hexagon really dig. 100 challenges and a few slight skin variations are included, but a twitch game like this really doesn't need almost $20 of in-app purchases - come on Ketchapp, go back to the ad-unlock model.

Can you endure the never-ending madness of the Crazy Circle? Crazy Circle is a mesmerising arcade game which tests your reflexes to the extreme. Tap to jump onto the next platform and travel as far as you can.Upgrade all power-ups and increase your highscore even further.

◉ Upgrade all Power-ups

Shadow Wars

Shadow Wars is set in an urban fantasy world where mythological creatures co-exist with modern humanity. Some of the art is outstanding, and a collection element is often an easy way to drive progression. But at the core it's a matching puzzle game. So Shadow Wars is basically Bejeweled as told by Harry Dresden, plus some multiplayer "clan" elements. IAP goes up to $95.

Join the hidden battle raging across the globe. Travel to major cities and clash with five secret factions, capturing new monsters and collecting rare artifacts in each vibrant location. Carefully balance your monsters’ abilities to craft the ultimate crew, then unleash them on teams of opponents in a strategic game of planning, timing, and skill. As you level up and evolve your monsters, you'll face greater and deadlier foes. Join the war or be destroyed.

Asterix and Friends

Asterix is the French version of Mickey Mouse, if Mickey Mouse was a rampaging Gaul with a habit of making satirical jokes about European stereotypes. This classic comic character doesn't need a Clash of Clans-style base builder, and it doesn't need the typical currency-based IAP system that Bandai-Namco couldn't resist if they were tied to a chair. But now it has those things.

Build your own Gaulish village in Asterix’s world. Embark on an epic adventure, explore the world, join forces with your friends and create powerful guilds to fight back the Roman army. Complete funny and challenging quests while making your way through Roman legions and camps and reach Egypt with Asterix, Obelix, Dogmatix, and other new and classic characters.

Goo Saga Free

Goo Saga is a stylish little platformer with puzzle elements that came out earlier this year. At just $2 with no in-app purchases it's more than reasonable, but here's a free demo version for the penny-pinchers.
