Boost 2 for Android: Awesome amazing and additive Gameplay - Download now !

So you think you have good reflexes? play a quick round of Boost 2 and you will find out. Boost 2 is insanely amazing Android game which takes you to next level of fun and adventure. It has amazing steering and good graphics. And yes, it’s one of the addictive games we have ever played. Though people criticize Android OS and games for it’s lag, Boost 2 is incredibly smooth. We tested Boost 2 on Samsung galaxy s3, Sony Xperia S and galaxy S duos and the game ran smoothly even on a  low end phone like galaxy S duos.

download boost 2 for android and ios


In spite of having good graphics, the game is not big to download - 14mb on Google play. The game has been on iTunes for a while and it’s been rated as one of the popular games on iOS and now on Android.

Boost 2 Gameplay & review 

The game belongs to the category of ‘endless run’ and you just need to go as long as possible and make high score. The game starts slowly and gradually gains the momentum. Steer yourself across the tunnel and dodge the blocks. Don’t miss the power Boost which helps you to go as far as possible. While you dodge the blocks and pick up from boost lines, the background music is quite entertaining.

Use the tilt control to race down to the tunnel. Just pick up the boost and try to avoid as many blocks as possible. There are various modes-for ex. Survival mode. We loved the fact that how the game gets more challenging and interesting with each new level.

Download Boost 2 lite/ full version

You can download the trial version -  boost 2 lite from here. full version can be purchased for just $1.99 and we recommend buying a full version to support the developer.Boost 2 is perfect pick and play experience. Google play rating of the boost 2 shows 4.8/5 which is quite an achievement and as far as our opinion matters, this game deserves a perfect 5/5.

dotdot & Glow dots - Android Alternative Games for the Dots iTunes

Puzzle games are quite popular on Apple iTunes as well as on Google play. It's great way to kill your time and Dots is one of the simplest and addictive game on iTunes. Dots - a game about connecting has been on iTunes for a while and one of the top rated games. It's yet to be announced officially for Google Play store but no need to get disappointed play store already features similar games - dotdot and glow dots. Check out some of the Android alternatives for Dots.

The goal of this game is pretty simple: Connect and collect as many dots of the same color and you need to do it in just 60 seconds. When dots are connected they disappear from the the grid and new ones drop in and take their place. When players create the shape of a square or rectangle, all other dots of the same color are vanished and collected as a bonus. So try to square off as many as possible.

Glow Dots by Epic Pixel

Glow dots is the perfect replica of the original game dots with dark background. There is no diffrence in both the games and the developer 'epic pixel' has used dark theme and Glowing dots to differentiate from original iTunes game. We played glowing dots and yes the game is as interesting as the original game.

The rules are easy to understand. You can connect dots vertically and horizontally but diagonal connection is not allowed. You can trade your points to buy dot erasers and time extender which extends your time by 10 seconds.

Very weird problem  about the Glow Dots is a battery drain. Testing it on our Galaxy S3 and Xperia S, we saw 8-10% battery drain after playing 10 consecutive games. It's surprising for a such small game which doesn't have high graphic to suck so much of battery.

dotdot by inferno

A new edition to games of dots, dotodot made it's few weeks back. The developer of the game Jarvis and has created game with some twists. This game is visually appealing and allow users to change the themes and color of the dots. One of the twist is bonus bar present at the top. If you connect dots with same color of bonus bar, you will get bonus. This game allows you to connect vertically, horizontally as well as diagonally.

Another noticeable feature is the social integration which allows you sign in via Google plus account and share your score. The game even allows you to save your games on clouds and resume later. Isn't that great?
Game has used very minimal colors and probably that's the biggest reason it's much more appealing in terms of visual.

Temple Run Released for Windows Phone - Download Now !

After a long wait the Windows marketplace finally gets the Temple Run game, though the game is the first edition and not the Temple Run 2, its still a consolation. While the iOS and Android users are enjoying the second version - Temple Run 2, iMangi Studios has released first version of its highly popular game for the WP users. You can download Temple Run instantly from the Microsoft marketplace if you have a Windows OS 8 smartphone.
Download temple run for Windows 8 OS
One of the major factors for people to get reluctant while buying a Windows Phone was the less number of games and apps. But as iMangi and other major studios have taken a step forward towards the Windows Phone, it will be interesting to see if we see more and more developers offering their Apps and games.

The marketplace says that the game will work only for the Windows 8 Os users and that can be disappointing for users having Windows 7.5, 7.8 OS. We are yet to confirm if the game is available for some old devices having lower version of operating system.

Temple Run for Windows phone - Game Review

We downloaded & tested the game on a couple of Windows devices - Nokia Lumia 920 and Lumia 820. The game play is pretty smooth and it gets executed very well on the Windows Phone OS. The problems of lagging which we usually see on the Android devices was not there on WP. While playing, we've experienced that sometimes game fails to register the swipe which is annoying but its still yet to be known if that is a hardware or a software issue. Though the issue was intermittent, it has been reported by lot of users.

Lumia 820 is another mid level smartphone from Nokia. We observed some white background while playing Temple Run on the Lumia 820. The game wasn't as smooth as the 920 and it did miss some swipe but overall it was a well rounded and playable experience.

We will be reviewing the game on other WP such as Lumia 720, Lumia 510 & Lumia 610 very soon. Here's the link from where you can Download Temple Run for WP. The game is free to play as with the Android and the iOS versions and we would recommend you to try it out even if it is slightly outdated.

Tiny Wings Alternatives for Android - Tiny Birds, Jump & Splash, Dragon Fly

Tiny Wings for iOS is one of the most addictive and amazing games and has been extremely popular due to its simple gameplay.The  iOS game developer Andreas Illiger was the lone game developer who developed this game for iOS and launched for iTunes on Feb 18, 2011. When lot of other developers are releasing games for iOS as well as android, Tiny Wings is yet to make arrival on the Google Play store. Let's see some of the alternatives of Tiny wings for Android. Some of them have almost copied the game play while some of them have made clever changes in game play to make it a little different from the original.

Tiny Wings for android

Tiny Wings alternatives for Android


1. Tiny Birds 
Tiny Birds free game for android

This game is very much a copy from the original Tiny wings. The game includes Tiny Bird who simply spends his days sliding hills. Keep flying and jumping with the bird and avoid the chasing storms. This game has comparitively dull graphics and the controls are not upto the mark when you compare it to the real tiny wings. More of less, Tiny bird is okay for a tiny bird clone but noting much to speak of.
Download Tiny Birds for Android

2. Dragon Fly
Dragon Fly free game for android

This game revolves around dragon baby who is running away from its nest. The mother dragon follows you and you try to go as much as away from the her as the spoilt little dragon you are. The gameplay is similar to that of Tiny Wings but this one offers a lot better control handling and graphics compared to Tiny Birds

Dragon fly for android has been rated 4+ and game works even on low specs Android devices.
Download Dragon Fly for Android

3. Jump and splash
jump and splash tiny wings for android.jpg

This game was launched for iOS as well as Android. The working of this game is again the same where you try to slide over the mountains. You need to swim, jump and fly for your life before it's too late. The game play is underwater and even though it doesn't offer the gratification of Tiny Birds, its still a decent alternative.

Download Jump and splash-tiny wings for android


Tiny Wings launch for Android ?

We are really very eager to get Tiny Wings for Android but as the game has been developed by a single game developer - Andreas it's seems unlikely that this game will be launched for Android devices so Android users can just try some of the games like Tiny birds, Dragon Fly & Jump and Splash.

Real Racing 3 for iOS Launched in New Zealand and Australia, Android and rest of the world on Feb 28th

A few days ago, Firemonkeys/EA notified that their highly anticipated car racing simulator Real Racing 3 will be launching on Feb 28th. However, EA has surprised people today by launching the third edition of their hit game in the New Zealand and the Australian App store.

Real Racing 3 has Stunning Game Graphics, features Mint 3 Engine

real racing for iOS cover

The game is known for setting benchmarks in the graphics aspect with none of the car simulation games coming even close to it when it comes to the attention to detail. The Real Racing 3 game was demoed at the iPhone 5 event back in October causing waves and raising expectations of fans all over. Although it has been three years since the launch of Real Racing 2, even now none of the simulator games come even close to matching the quality of graphics delivered by the game with even games like Asphalt and NFS Most Wanted not being able to match up to it. And now the developers have stepped it up several notches by offering a graphics experience that are second to none and will definitely leave you amazed at how beautiful the Real Racing 3 game graphics are. The game features the new new Mint 3 Engine which delivers persistent car damage, fully functioning rear view mirrors and dynamic reflections for a super-enhanced racing reality.


Real Racing 3 Freemium and IAP (In App Purchases)

The new game follows a different model than the previous ones, with freemium now being the most popular model for most App developers, Real Racing 3 has decided to follow the same which means it is free to play with in app purchases added in the game for sale. There are several hundred tracks and cars to be unlocked as you proceed in the game, and although the game is free to play, there are enough little extras within to entice the hardcore gamer into spending a few bucks here and there. If you love the game just to play a quick race now and then the Real Racing 3 freemium model is ideal for you, where you dont need to spend anything to enjoy your game.


Real Racing 3 for Android

Good new for the Android fans is that the Real Racing 3 game will be launched for Android on Feb 28th too. Though we're pretty sure the game will be able to run properly on all the high end devices like the Note2, the S3 or the HTC DNA... it remains to be seen how the game fares on an Android device with a slightly lower specification as by the looks of it the game offers some amazing graphics and it is possible that a few devices might have a problem keeping up with its framerate.

Cordy 2 Game Review for iOS and Android - Fun Platformer with Amazing Visuals!

Cordy 2 released for iOS and Android Devices



Gone are the days when the Android developers had to wait for weeks to play their new games while friends with their iOS counterparts were busy setting high scores. Cordy 2, the sequel to the popular game Cordy has been launched a few days ago simultaneously for both iOS and Android Devices and is climbing the charts thanks to its beautiful design and visuals, arcade style music and its game play which is reminiscent of the old school classic games like Mario and Sonic.

Cordy 2 Review and Gameplay


The first thing you notice when you start playing the game are its stunning visuals with its bright neon colorings and cartoon-ey characters. You play as Cordy who is a robot with a CRT monitor for a face and are tasked with saving your fellow automated friends from the evil Boogaloo.


The gameplay itself looks very similar to Mario in which you have to jump, double jump platforms and stomp enemies but add in the twist of Sonic style gameplay with the bouncing off springs and running into the mix. The result sounds a pain in theory but is executed extremely well and the game is a ton of fun to play.


Even though the gameplay is well designed, executed and a lot of fun... it is the graphics that keep things interesting in the game. The levels are all beautifully designed while trying to blend a old school platformer into a 3D game with lots of attention to detail


Does Cordy 2 lag?

There is always a downside to building a game with such beautiful graphics. We tested the Cordy 2 on an iPhone 5, iPhone 4, Sony Xperia S and a Samsung Galaxy S3 and the game ran flawlessly without any noticeable lag. The game is compatible with a lot of devices though we're assuming there might be some problems with the framerate on the older devices which may result in some lag but that is to be expected nowadays where the games are requiring more and more processor power to run them.

Cordy 2 Prices

The Cordy 2 game follows a different pricing model than the rest of the games nowadays where it gives you a few levels to play for free and then charges $4.99 to unlock the rest of the levels. While a few users may see this as a sort of trick to lure them to download the game, it would be silly to assume that a game as beautifully designed as this would be given for free without a catch. But is it worth the $4.99? Id say no... No matter how good the game is it would have been right at home with a $1.99 or a $2.99 price tag.

Download

You can download the game from the following links to try it out. Let us know what you think of the game in the comments.

Wacky Dragons Indie Game available for iOS - Simple, Addictive and Fun

Wacky Dragons available for iOS


We all love games we can pick up and play for a while at any time of the day and then go back to whatever we were doing before. The popularity of games like these is shown by the success of Temple Run, Subway Surfers, Jetpack Joyride etc. and today I came across another such game called Wacky Dragons which was just launched for the iOS platform after being popular on the Windows Phone one. The game is similar to "Helicopter in a Cave" only this one offers dragons, special abilities and upgrades!

Here's the trailer for Wacky Dragons!


Fun and Challenging

It has a very simple control mechanism where you touch the screen to fly your dragon and leave the touch to drop down, you have to navigate through the caves of Mount Roardor. Though it seems simple enough, the controls are actually hard to master for accuracy and even though that improves as you play the game, more than not every single mistake you make will end in a Game Over. While traveling through these caves, you have small challenges like popping consecutive balloons in a row which reward you more gems. A lot of simple things like these have been used to keep the game interesting.

Dragons with powers!

The game basically is made around dragons exploring the Mount Roardor caves. Initially you start off with a yellow dragon called 'Round Ronnie' who is an obese dragon with the special ability to shrink itself (haha, an obese dragon with the ability to shrink itself :P) As you play more and collect gemstones you get to unlock the other dragons with more power. Different types of dragons are available to the user, each having their special ability to help you through the game for instance there's a dragon called 'Mad Matt' that can charge through the barriers breaking them. You can upgrade your dragon's ability to have a better chance of survival in the game using the gems you collect in-game. Another little perk they've added is that your dragon can wear hats that can be unlocked in the same manner. These hats themselves have abilities for instance one hat increases the ability level while another allows more gems to appear. The game has good sprites, the devs have paid attention to detail and all in all the result is a pleasant looking game with its cute & obese dragons with the backdrop of the side-scrolling caves.

In conclusion, the game is certainly fun to be play with and since the devs have included a lot of upgrades in the form of various dragons and each with a their own abilities , it gives us the initiative to come back for more.

Subway Surfer Game Review - Now Out for Android OS

Subway Surfer - Out for Android OS

The dimension of the mobile game has changed a lot in past few years. Games which can be played with no introduction & tutorials are getting popular these days. Subway Surfer by kiloo games has been on iOS for a while and now it is out for the android too. Subway Surfer can be played  for a short duration of time & it's one of the popular games on Apple devices. The game resembles to endless run like 'Temple run' & 'Agent Dash' which are quite popular on android devices.

Subway Surfer review for android
Subway Surfer - Now Out for Android

Subway Surfer on Android devices

Kilo games' launched Subway Surfer on 21st of September, 2012. Being an enthusiastic gamers , we enjoyed playing Subway Surfer on apple devices & we were desperately waiting for android version of Subway Surfer on Google Play- the android marketplace.


Subway Surfer on iOS vs Android - The Review

We loved the subway surfer on iOS. We have spent hours ebing addicted to it, playing Subway Surfer on 4th Gen iPod, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S and what we experienced was a marvel. Playing Subway Surfer on iOS devices was absolute joy. If you have already played this game on the iOS, then the Android version of Subway Surfer might disappoint some of you.

Disappointing performance on budget Smartphones
We tested Subway Surfer on various Android devices like Samsung Galaxy S2, Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung Galaxy SL, Sony Xperia Arc S, Xperia Neo L, HTC One x , HTC One V. Game needs  512 Mbs of Ram but we have noticed a lot of lag and freezing problem on every 512 Mb RAM Android device which is disappointing. We experienced a lot of lag problems on Galaxy S, Xperia Arc, Xperia Neo L. Any phone with less ram is likely to face this problem.

Works like a charm on high end Smartphones
While most of the Android phone's disappointed us, Galaxy S2, S3,HTC One-X did not show any lagging problem. Game worked really well on all the devices with 1 GB RAM and playing Subway Surfer was a lot of fun on these devices.

Game - Story and Plot

Subway surfer belongs to 'endless run' kind of category. A guy is caught while showing his graffiti skills on the train. Trying to avoid a security guards and his loyal dog, guy runs around the obstacles and jumps over the steady and moving train. The whole run is inside a subway & on the railway tracks.

The prime goal of the game is to run , use different powers & collect the coins. Multiplier increases gradually when you complete the missions in the game. Double tapping on the screen fetches you the hoverboard and one extra life.

Ratings

The game itself deserves 5 star for having a similar game-play to 'Temple Run' and still keeping things fresh but not Android devices. It is a new game and still have lot of bugs which have been reported by various users. Games need some efficiency to avoid lagging and freezing problems. We are rating it as an average 3.5/5.
