The objective in Artilect is to move the grey circle to the red opponent’s base on the bottom of the game grid. When it’s your turn, you can make one move to the 8 surrounding nodes of the current position. This way you draw a connecting path.

Minefield
The sequel to our favourite tower defense game. App Store link (1,59 €)
Geo Defense is our favourite tower defense game. If you’re not familiar, read our review.
The main difference in “Swarm” is that the enemies no longer wander on a path. Instead they enter the field from green entrances and take the shortest way to the red exits.
Still, Geo Defense remains my favourite tower defense game. For everyone who needs strategical advice on how to beat a specific level I prepared screenshots with tower positions. They illustrate one way to succeed – for most of the levels you can apply other strategies as well. Read the rest of this entry »
Delicious fly ahead!
Move the frog leg by leg to that delicious fly on the leaf in this puzzling game. App Store link (3,99 €).
For some reason, the feet of this frog can only rest on waterdrops. You have to drag the feet from drop to drop to move the frogs body closer to the fly. What makes this difficult is that the legs movement is limited by the anatomy of the frog. The forelegs are very short and the rotation of the legs is realistically limited by the joints.

A column of 3
Drop 7 is a nice looking tetris type of game about numbers. App store link
In this game there are two types of circles falling from the top into the grid: numbers from 1 to 7 and grey numberless circles. Tab a column to drop the circle on the top of the stack in that column. Let’s say you drop a 3. If the 3 ends up in a row or a column of 3 circles of any kind, it will disappear. A 5 will disappear if it lands in a row or a column of 5 circles and so on. The grey circles are locked. You unlock them if they are the direct neighbour of a circle that disappears. Unlock them twice and they will turn into ordinary circle with numbers. Read the rest of this entry »
