Spandex Force: Superhero U is a match-3 game set within a school for superheroes.  Herein lies the strength or weakness of the game, depending on whether you like match-3 games or not.  There is a bit of variety to the games – 3 different control methodologies, different shapes for the game grids and some slightly different features – but basically, whether you will like this game comes down to whether you like the genre.  It's basically a puzzle game with some limited RPG features.

An otome (Girl pursues Boy) dating simulation game, Lucky Rabbit Reflex sees our seventeen-year old heroine beginning her first and final year at a new school. Will she find friendship - or even romance - amongst the motley crew at Northmain College? (Or a decent fashion sense, at the very least!)

Atlanta, Georgia - Asgard Studios, a father and son indie game studio, today is pleased to announce Wizard's Castle 1.1 for iPhone 4, their match and remove game for all ages. The update improves performance. The player enters the castle to find that the friendly Wizard has cast a spell and colored, magic balls are raining down from the ceiling. The goal of the game is to prevent the room from filling up with balls during each three minute round. Players match and remove balls by touching or swiping groups of two or more balls of the same color. While manageable at the lowest levels, the game quickly presents a difficult challenge to both hand-eye coordination and finding a winning strategy. Completing a level unlocks the next. Wizard's Castle features eight levels of play and Game Center leaderboards and achievements.

In addition to locating groups of still and moving balls of the same color and preventing the room from becoming completely filled, in some levels magic gems also drop from the ceiling.

* Gems with lightening bolts remove all of the magic balls that are the same color as the magic gem
* Gems with floating balls cause many extra balls to drop from the ceiling
* Gems with flames are bombs that destroy many nearby magic balls
* Gems with a stone pattern cause stone balls to drop from the ceiling, which can only be removed by the bomb magic gems
* Gems with the infinity symbol slow down time and make the magic balls drop very slowly from the ceiling

Wizard's Castle is highly re-playable because the colored magic balls always fall and bounce differently. Players may earn up to three stars for each level depending on their score, and may replay any level to reach the maximum of three stars. Current Score, High Score, Level, and Time Remaining are continuously displayed at the top of the portrait mode screen. Wizard's Castle has been featured on the Daily App Show, on Apple's iTunes App Store What's Hot for Strategy Games, on Apple's iTunes App Store New and Noteworthy Strategy Games and New and Noteworthy Puzzle Games sections.

* Prevent the room from filling up with magic balls for a full three minutes to move to the next level

Exciting high-speed disc action from indie developer RX Games comes to Apple App Store 

LONDON, ENGLAND, July 27, 2011 - Following the success of "Maximus Discus" on the Android Market, indie developer RX Games have now released an enhanced version of the disc-throwing action game to users of iOS devices, including iPhone and iPad. Originally chosen by Yahoo Games as a fresh game of the week, "Maximus Discus" features truly addictive old-school gameplay that appeals to players of all ages. The game has attracted over 10,000 downloads since its launch in May 2011 and has recently been featured by Openfeint, the largest mobile social gaming network for iOS and Android devices in the world. 

The iOS version of the game comes with a whole host of new updates, such as highly improved action graphics, higher difficulty modes for expert players and a wide range of score metrics and achievements. The game is also available for free in the form of "Maximus Discus Lite", where players can unlock unique and powerful discs at a brand new Disc Store to help them with their battles. The whole game now comes fully integrated with Openfeint functionality, where Android and iOS users can compete on the same leaderboards. 

Discussing the much-anticipated release, co-creator Lee Wong says: "When we first released the game on Android, a lot of people asked us if the game was also available on the iPhone. Once the game took off on the Android platform, we started developing for the iOS right away." Kenny Ito, fellow creator adds: "The iPhone version is essentially the same game as the original, but with additional features and better graphics. I'm sure iPhone users will feel that the extra wait was worth it!"

Utrecht, Netherlands - Dutch Independent gamestudio Vlambeer will release Ridiculous Fishing, an iOS sequel to their popular debut title Radical Fishing in the near future. To tackle the technical and artistic challenge of creating an iOS game about fishing with rocketlaunchers, Vlambeer teamed up with Zach Gage (Bit Pilot, Unify) and artist Greg Wohlwend (Solipskier, Infested Planets).

Ridiculous Fishing will have new gameplay mechanics, more powerful weapons, exotic locations, over the-top upgrades, monsters and treasures. The game will allow for some nice ways to brag about your biggest catch, your shinier boat and your coolest gear. Also, it'll feature fish wearing hats.

"We don't just want to recreate Radical Fishing for iOS, so we reimagined the idea from the ground up for the platform. We also took time to implement the things we learned from the original Flash version and to watch a lot of documentaries about the art of fishing with high caliber weapons. Ridiculous Fishing is everything you loved about the original but better and prettier. Greg has come up with an amazing visual style for the game."

In the original Radical Fishing, players maneuver their hook & lure into the depths of the ocean, trying to catch as many fish as possible before flinging them into the air and using a wide arsenal of heavy weaponry to finish them off, earning loads of cash for upgrades ranging from rocket boosters to hairdryers & chainsaws.

"We hadn't planned to announce the game just yet", admits Rami Ismail of Vlambeer, "but yesterday we suddenly received piles of messages and tweets that somebody had made a game inspired by Radical Fishing and that they were bringing the game to iOS. Seeing we've had Ridiculous Fishing under development for quite some time now, that was a bit of a surprise."

"Anyway, Ridiculous Fishing is Vlambeers' debut on iOS, so it's very cool to do that by working with our very first IP", continues Rami. "We're super-excited to be working on this with Zach & Greg involved. Bit Pilot, Halcyon and Solipskier are top notch iOS offerings in terms of quality. To be honest, it has always been our ambition to make a game with hats in it."

Banana Banzai is an action / platform game for iPhone where you control monkey jumping from vine to vine and busting tricks! It's got leaderboards, achievements, multiplayer, beautiful pixel art, catchy music...  The game is free to try with in-app purchase upgrade.

News from the Lume team:

Oh joy, another game with the prefix "doodle" in the app store. This game consists of moving a circle around the screen and hitting black squares whilst avoiding red ones.

This would be simple if not for the growing mechanic. As you absorb more black cubes your ball becomes larger, making it more difficult to avoid the red blocks.

The game gives powerups and powerdowns that are fairly varied, one of which shrinks the ball. This is an issue, since as you grow you need the shrink powerup in order to continue, otherwise it will eventually be impossible to avoid red squares. My issue is that you require luck, luck to get the powerup you need. I think any game that you need to get lucky in to get the maximum score has a glaring flaw.

The achievements are sufficiently varied, although fairly predictable for a game of this type.

The controls (or control, in this case) work well and I cannot see anyone having a problem with it.

It can become predictable as the blocks always move up-down and left-right, however as your finger is just below the ball you control so you can see it correctly it wouldn't do to have blocks moving up, since your finger would block it from view.

The additional themes are quite varied and aesthetically pleasing, my favorite being the glowing theme.

The game is fun but gets boring after a while because you reach a plateau on the skill curve fairly quickly and the game doesn't really evolve in any way, resulting in a game that becomes bland and stale after a while.

The game itself is not inherently bad, it's just not inherently great, either. It's well made too, the concept just lacks longevity. All you can achieve is a bigger high score and a few achievements, although for a free game, that's not bad. The music fits, although it can become annoying if exposed to it for too long.
