18 temporarily free and 40 on-sale apps and games for Friday
Don't miss out on the sales for Final Fantasy VIII Remastered, Muse Dash, and Titan Quest: Legendary Edition
Welcome to Friday, everyone. It's almost the weekend, and so it's time to check out the latest app and game sales on the Play store. I certainly have a few standouts today, starting with the new release for Final Fantasy VIII Remastered, which is on sale until April 4th. The next standout is Muse Dash, an enjoyable rhythm game. Last but not least is Titan Quest: Legendary Edition, which is a great action RPG, though the Android version is still a little buggy. As always, I've highlighted all of the interesting titles in bold green text in order to make discovery easier. So without further ado, here are 18 temporarily free and 40 on-sale apps and games for the end of the week.
Crash Bandicoot: On the Run is available on Android a day early
And it's filled with in-app purchases
It would appear that two Crash Bandicoot fans (Jump Button and Motwera) have uncovered an upcoming mobile Crash Bandicoot game through a Facebook search. Currently, there is a survey available for the supposed Crash Bandicoot Mobile title on StoreMaven (a mobile growth website) that mentions the game isn't available yet while simultaneously asking for input to improve the game's development. So while the existence of Crash Bandicoot Mobile has yet to be confirmed by King, the recent leak from Jump Button and Motwera looks pretty convincing.
Rocket League is coming to Android later this year — just not the version you want
It's called Rocket League Sideswipe, and you'll play on a 2D plane
Psyonix has just announced that it will be bringing Rocket League to mobile, but it won't come as the core game but instead an offshoot made specifically for mobile that plays on a 2D plane. This title is known as Rocket League Sideswipe, and the graphics are 3D, though the gameplay will see you race from one side of a 2D screen to the other in order to make or block goals, much like a platformer. Rocket League Sideswipe is expected to arrive sometime later this year.
Codemasters and NetEase will launch the first open beta for Racing Master tonight
Only a few more hours to go
A NetEase developer known as Dahua Studios has just announced that it's working on an upcoming racing game for mobile in conjunction with Codemasters, and it will enter into open beta this month. The game is called Racing Master. It's a real-time simulation racer that's utilizing the Unreal 4 engine as well as some proprietary Codemasters tech, who just so happens to be a developer with a slew of famous racers under its belt, such as DiRT, GRID, and F1.

Don't miss out on the sales for Samorost 3, Star Traders: Frontiers, and Dragon Quest III
Welcome to Wednesday, everyone. Even though the middle of the week tends to be slow when it comes to sales, I have a handful of noteworthy titles today, including a few standouts. First up is Samorost 3, a gorgeous adventure game from Amanita Design. Next, I have Star Traders: Frontiers, a quality roguelike RPG from the Trese Brothers. Last but not least is Dragon Quest III, which is one of the better JRPG ports from Square Enix. As always, I've highlighted all of the interesting titles in bold green text in order to make discovery easier. So without further ado, here are 12 temporarily free and 42 on-sale apps and games for the middle of the week.

505 Games recently purchased the developer Infinity Plus Two, a studio that owned the rights to the Puzzle Quest match-3 series. This series started out in 2007 and is fondly remembered thanks to the fact it popularized RPG mechanics in match-3 games, adding depth to the genre, all while offering a fair price point. Of course, things have changed over the last 14 years, and now the match-3 genre is pretty much synonymous with awful monetization, especially on mobile. Well, 505 Games has just announced that it will bring Puzzle Quest 3 to mobile and PC later this year. Sadly we already know the developer plans to launch the title as a free-to-play release, so I wouldn't get my hopes up for this long-awaited follow-up since its stated direction is worrying.
Project Cars Go speeds onto Android as a one-tap racer
Too bad the servers won't be live for another hour
Read update
The last time we heard about Project Cars Go was way back in 2018 when Gamevil announced the title. Apparently the racer entered into an open beta in Finland, Denmark, Sweden, and the Netherlands last month, and today the game is finally available on the Play Store for pre-registration, at least in the US. This should all signal that we are nearing the game's launch, not that it's easy to get excited for yet another CSR Racing clone for mobile.

Dungeon of the Endless has made its way to mobile, but it's a sloppy port
You'll definitely want to play on a tablet
Dungeon of the Endless is a positively reviewed indie roguelike tower defense game that's popular on Steam, and it just landed on Android as Dungeon of the Endless: Apogee. You can pick up this new mobile version today for $5, which is currently 30% off the future retail price. This purchase includes all of the title's DLC, so it's a complete package that offers a revamped interface for mobile. Sadly this port still feels pretty rough. Not only is the game too dark to see anything, but the text is too small, the tutorial is painful, and there's no controller support.
Tomb Raider Reloaded enters soft launch in select regions
Gamers in Thailand and the Philippines can now jump in
The official Tomb Raider account on Twitter has just tweeted that there's a new Tomb Raider game coming to mobile, and it's called Tomb Raider Reloaded. It's currently in development under Emerald City Games in cooperation with the Square Enix London mobile team, and it's slated to arrive sometime in 2021.
