Welcome to the latest entry in our Bonus Round series, wherein we tell you all about the new Android games of the day that we couldn't get to during our regular news rounds. Consider this a quick update for the dedicated gamers who can't wait for our bi-weekly roundups, and don't want to wade through a whole day's worth of news just to get their pixelated fix. Today we've got a long-overdue iOS port, a 2D game that will blow your mind with its insane graphics, an interesting take on Pac-Man, and a cutesy over-the-shoulder shooter. Without further ado:

Super Mega Worm

If Captain Planet and the Planeteers was less about environmental responsibility and more about a giant centipede eating people, and then someone made an NES game out of it, it might look a lot like Super Mega Worm. It's taken this cult hit three years (!) to get to Android, but now that it's here, you can indulge in some over-the-top, pixelated violence with old-school graphics and controls. A free version was featured on a previous roundup.

Stay Alight

What's this? A second environmentally-conscious title in a row? Stay Alight might have a similar theme, but the gameplay is more like Angry Birds or Scorch, and the graphics are freaking amazing. This game's 2D sprites look better than any indie "artistic" title I've ever seen. Gameplay aside, I'm going to bring Stay Alight out to shame all those lazy developers who use "retro" 8-bit graphics as a crutch to avoid making their games look like something developed this century.

Hasta la Muerte

Half Pac-Man, half Metal Gear Solid, with a hand-drawn art style inspired by La Dia De Los Muertos? What's not to love? While Hasta La Muerte doesn't make any claims to be innovative, it's certainly unique from a visual perspective, and a mix of platform fighting and maze navigation should hit the spot for some. The lost souls you herd towards the final curtain will grant you special power-ups, which you'll need to beat the nightmarish bosses.

WarCom: Genesis

Android still lacks a solid base of console-style action shooters, and those that have been released need some crazy-powerful hardware to play them. WarCom is an over-the-shoulder shooter that won't kill your midrange hardware, and still manages to be pretty fun... though I wouldn't be surprised if there are some compatibility issues, since the cut-and-paste description mentions "Retina-ready for iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, and iPad 3!" (Bad form, Triniti.) Be on the lookout for some heavy in-app purchases as well.
