Manipulate the fabric of
time with TimeCube
Had enough Candy Crush and
looking for something new to play on your iPhone? We rounded up some favorites
worth a download this week. Have fun!
Looney Tunes Dash!
For those who loved Space
Jam in the 90s, or who grew up watching the originalLooney Tunes, or even for
children whose parents seem oddly attached to cartoon animals, Looney Tunes
Dash! is a brilliant way to relive the very best parts of childhood.
The goal of Dash is to run
through levels playing as your favorite characters, completing missions, and
unlocking even more of your favorite cartoon memories. It’s a charming and
well-designed game that works on levels beyond simple nostalgia.
Looney Tunes Dash! is free
in the App Store.
Poo Flingers
With all the charm of
something called Poo Flingers, you wouldn’t expect a game that’s so much fun to
play. Train an army of poo-flinging monkeys and attack enemy fleets with feces.
Hit your foes with poo to knock them off pegs in the jungle to defeat them.
Choose from a variety of weapons and powerups in order to strengthen your
monkeys.
Think Plants vs. Zombies
but with monkeys in trees and, well, poo.
Poo Flingers is $1.99 in
the App Store.
Squares
A lot like the much-loved
game Simon, Squares is based on players’ ability to react and detect which
square is different on a screen of nearly-identical squares. The goal is
simple: tap the different square. However, the display can be customized with
different colors as the challenge of hitting the right square increases. This
heavily addicting game can be played more or less on an infinite loop.
Squares is free in the App
Store.
Brothers in Arms 3: Sons
of War
For those who still miss
the original Call of Duty and the old Medal of Honor series, Brothers in Arms 3
is a fine fill-in. A WW2 shooter in which players cycle between an arsenal of
classic weapons as you shoot at Nazis and duck for cover, Brothers in Arms lets
you take your platoon into enemy territory and call in airstrikes or mortar
fire so you can complete your mission.
TimeCube
Perhaps one day we will be
able to slip through a wormhole, but until then we can sit on the subway and
play TimeCube on our iPhones. You don’t control your character, but you control
the time around it. Learning how to manipulate gameplay time will allow you to
navigate obstacles and opponents. Gamplay is not complex, but the idea is
entertaining enough on its own to keep you playing.
TimeCube is free in the
App Store.
