Android Police coverage: 'The Room: Old Sins' public Android beta is live!

Fireproof Games' The Room: Old Sins has been out on iOS for a few months now, but Android only just received the game on the Play Store as a beta release yesterday. This means it still has some device testing to do before the official April 19th release date, but it also means anyone can jump into the title early if they decide to purchase it right now. Much like the last three games you are going to be tasked with solving plenty of puzzles by following obscure clues and manipulating bizarre 3D contraptions as you try to uncover the mysteries of the game.

Monetization: $4.99 / no ads / no IAPs

Fruit Ninja Fight

Android Police coverage: Halfbrick Studios turns Fruit Ninja into a competitive multiplayer game with the beta release of 'Fruit Ninja Fight'

Halfbrick Studios recently laid off half of its staff, and with that change, they have also decided to concentrate all of their efforts on their most prominent franchises. This includes the Fruit Ninja series, which is why the recent release of Fruit Ninja Fight isn't much of a surprise. Imagine a game of Fruit Ninja that you can play against a friend, and that is precisely what's on offer here. The person who slices the most fruit in a timed battle wins.

Original Journey

ZPLAY Games' Original Journey is a beautiful hand-drawn 2D side-scrolling shooter with roguelike elements. The gameplay is simple to grasp, yet retains enough challenge to keep players interested. There are a variety of weapons and suits to unlock, and a ton of loot to collect. The roguelike elements come into play when you die, as all of the items you are carrying will disappear. This is why frequent trips to your home base to store those items is so important, this way you can retain some equipment if you are trying to make your way through one of the more treacherous stages.

Steamburg

Anuman knows a thing or two about puzzle adventure games. The majority of their titles concentrate on this one genre, and every so often they release a gem that is indeed worth a look. Steamburg is one of those games, thanks to its atmospheric steampunk design, outstanding voice work, and intriguing plot. There are 32 locations to explore and plenty of hidden areas to discover.

Monetization: $2.99 / no ads / no IAPs

The main character, professor Vincent Cornelius Moore, fights robots that invaded the city of Steamburg. The gameplay is unique – Vincent is unarmed, so he must choose his moves wisely. He can only throw small electro-bombs which lure the robots and halt their progress for a while.

Warp Shift

Deep Silver's Warp Shift was originally released on Android as a free-to-play title many months ago. But only just this week did they release a premium version of this puzzle game. That means you can grab it right now for a single upfront price. And short of the monetization change, the gameplay is exactly the same, which is a good thing, as this is an enjoyable title with solid mechanics and fantastic graphics.

Monetization: $4.99 / no ads / no IAPs

Battle Supremacy

Atypical Games is best known for their Radiation City/Radiation Island series, but that doesn't mean they don't know how to branch out into other areas. Their latest release Battle Supremacy is billed as "the ultimate WWII tank combat game," and after playing it for a bit, I would say I have to agree, at least in the context of mobile gaming. It contains a fully interactive open world that can be played as a single-player experience or with friends online. So no matter how you would prefer to play, there is a mode for you.

Monetization: $4.99 / no ads / IAPs from $0.99 - $1.99

WAKFU, the Brotherhood

Unbeknownst to me, the popular turn-based MMORPG Wakfu has inspired a TV series. And apparently that TV series has inspired the release of WAKFU, the Brotherhood as tie-in title published on the Play Store. There are only 15 levels to explore, with a single boss fight at the end. So this is a short game released as a promotional tool, more so than something you will be digging into for a long haul. Still, it's a fun little time waster, and it should offer an appealing experience for the majority of Wakfu fans out there.

Monetization: free / no ads / no IAPs

Join Yugo and his friends from the WAKFU® animated series in an adventure like no other. Embody the heroes of the Brotherhood of the Tofu and team up with your most trusted allies to defeat the waves of metal critters sent by Nox, the evil time master intent on absorbing Wakfu power from all living things.

Diotos

Diotos is a virtual pet god and garden simulator that is reminiscent of other popular god sims such as Black & White. This is, of course, a more kid-friendly experience, though the gameplay still retains plenty of fun for all ages. Just keep in mind that this plays better as a passive game that you check a few times a day instead of something you sit down and play for hours on end.

Monetization: free / contains ads / no IAPs

A Dioto is a procedurally generated god, unique in every way to its user. They all have their own unique look, name, spiritual speciality and way of worship. You can cuddle it, feed it fruit, give it divine hats and pray to it. If you spend lots of time with the Dioto, it will gain in power and grow into a giant powerful god.

Cosmo Bounce - The craziest space rush ever!

Cosmo Bounce is an endless runner that uses an interesting mechanic. Instead of running as far as you can you are going to be bouncing your way through the endless stage. The thing is, controlling how you bounce isn't easy, which is what makes this game so challenging. Precisely landing on each platform will get increasingly more difficult the further you progress.

Monetization: free / contains ads / no IAPs

Choose from over 28 far-out heroes who are ready for adventure, and rush into the greatest Xtreme space race in the universe: Cosmo Bounce.

Salad Hunt - Kitchen Destruction Game

Salad Hunt is a humorous kitchen destruction game that will have you throwing anything and everything at the anthropomorphic vegetables destroying your kitchen. Your goal is to remove each veggie by any means necessary, and the more destruction you create, the better. While that may sound counterintuitive, it doesn't really matter since this is supposed to be a goofy release that makes no sense.

Monetization: free / contains ads / no IAPs

A family friendly FPS with cartoony weapons and destructible environments. Arcade rail-shooter gameplay in a simplified mobile format. You are The Chef and you discover that salad ingredients have come alive as cute, but mischievous characters that are ruining your kitchen.

Up Golf

There are plenty of quality golfing games on Android already, but another interesting take on the sport can't hurt. Unlike most of them, Up Golf takes the core mechanics of golf and creates something unique by using a vertical course. The way it works is you will need to hit your animal-themed ball upwards through the never-ending course. As the color palette of the level changes with your progression so too does the challenge.

Monetization: free / contains ads / IAPs $0.99 a piece

Tee off with your animal pals up a never-ending world of zany colorful golf fantasy. Hit plump little animals up through the heavenly platforms with your ace golfer skills. Compete with your friends and the world to get highest into the sky.

The Mooseman

Vladimir Beletsky's The Mooseman is an atmospheric game that offers beautifully composed folk music that backs the gameplay as it weaves a tale of forgotten pagan gods and spirits. Think of it as a walking simulator with a few puzzle elements, and you will get the idea. Just keep in mind that this is a slow game that will take a while to traverse, though it is obviously more about the journey than the end result.

Monetization: free / no ads / IAPs $2.49 a piece

Long-long time ago the world was created out of an egg-shell by a god named Yen. In the murky depths of the endless ocean the Lower World was born.

Iron Horse Games' Uncivil War TCG is a new release that plays a lot like the classic card game War. The gameplay is addicting, and easy to understand, though the PvP section is hobbled by a stamina system.

Nyjah Huston: #Skate life

Nyjah Huston: #Skate life most notably contains exemplary graphics, but sadly the controls can be a little hit and miss. If you take the time to learn them, there is still some fun to be had here.

RIVAL: Crimson x Chaos is the latest strategy game to release on the Play Store that apes the gameplay found in the hugely popular Clash Royale. If you enjoy this type of competitive gameplay, then everything to do with this release should be pretty familiar. But if you are new to the genre, you may not enjoy it since the matchmaking isn't that good and there is a clear pay-to-win element to its monetization.
