Morning Egg Inc.

If the golden days of Lucasarts adventure titles such as Maniac Mansion, Day of the Tentacle and Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders recall fond memories, there's a good chance you're destined to love any and everything about Kaptain Brawe: A Brawe New World [Free / HD]. After all, who didn't get a perverse joy out of wandering aimlessly and trying to figure out puzzles that were so odd that using basic logic on them meant you would never advance? Those types of puzzles make their appearances here, but so does a lot of solid gameplay. Kaptain Brawe opens up with an intro to the title character, a big goofy dude who somehow managed to get hired as a space officer despite the fact he's clearly not the brightest bulb in the room. Already, we have a recipe for some laughs -- that's what adventure game fans are used to. You'll start out solo, but eventually meet new characters like Row Boat (a robot of few words) and Luna (a bit of a mystery all around) who you can swap between at different points in the game, offering a bit of new perspective. What starts out as a basic exploration of a ship on a deserted island segways into Brawe stumbling headfirst into a complex conspiracy that will send him across the galaxy searching for answers. It's a proper adventure game story, and it never failed to entertain. The humor of the game is pretty spot-on, although I felt it fell a little short from time to time (but in that cheesy way that all adventure games seem to touch on at one time or another.) Speaking of genre tropes, one thing that Kaptain Brawe also has nailed when it comes to adventure game homage is the difficulty level of the puzzle solving. While there are options here (Casual and Hardcore), some of the solutions to puzzles are so downright ridiculous that it reminded me of playing back in the day. A hint system proves helpful if you get really stuck (Lord knows we never had THOSE back in the day), but there are times when it won't reveal missing something very small and you will just kind of be sitting there without a clue on how to proceed. In other words, get ready touse your noggin in the most creative of ways. The interface and controls are pretty basic -- an icon Read More

There’s something about puzzle games that seem to attract the cutest, most vibrant visuals to the genre and SubTub [$0.99] is no exception. However, despite the bright and cheery graphics, this action-puzzler is no slouch when it comes to difficulty. In fact, if you can get past some control issues and bouts of shallow gameplay, SubTub has enough content and challenge for completionists to possibly be worth checking out. SubTub is a game of naval superiority. You control a cute red sub through four sets of 18 missions that have you destroying the opposition on the open sea. In the case of SubTub, the open sea is a 6x9 grid of blue filled with other subs, aircraft carriers and more. Your weapons are underwater mines that are placed on the grid. While you have an unlimited amount of mines, each one has a fixed timer and a range slightly more than a single square. Complicating matters are a variety of other seafaring units, such as the rubber ducky, a ‘friendly’ unit that you can’t blow up with your mines (or touch on the grid, for that matter). In addition, mines are chainable, adding to the overall strategy. Players are scored simply by the amount of time it takes to complete each level, with three tiers of medals available depending on how fast you are (you can also simply ‘pass’ the level if you take long enough). While SubTub’s gameplay foundation is sound, there just isn’t a lot of depth to the game, even when you take into account the different enemies you encounter. Your sub doesn’t gain any new weapons or upgrades, which may make your sense of progression seem a bit passive compared to other titles. In addition, the majority of the new enemies you encounter in later levels don’t add much other than slight variations and different skins. Despite its cuddly exterior appearance, SubTub is actually a pretty challenging game, especially for folks that like to show their supremacy by collecting medals. Once I got passed the first set of missions, I found myself taking too long to even get the lowest tier medal. Granted, for those looking to simply try and pass the levels, SubTub is somewhat lenient as most levels can eventually be completed with patience and some timing. However, if you really want to earn the medals, you’re going to be doing a bit of practice Read More

It’s time to do it ninja style! Ninja Ultimate is an RPG from Morning Egg Inc. that keeps us in the thick of the action, battling enemies with lethal weapons and magic spells. We start off with creating a profile, and then we can jump right into the game. The controls are simple and are placed along the bottom of the screen. There are two arrow keys to move left or right, and another key to make a jump. We can tap on the attack key to use it, and it can also be used to make combo attacks. We cannot mindlessly keep on fighting, but keep a tab on our health and mana which are displayed on the left side of the screen. There is a time limit too, and our goal is to finish off our enemies before the allotted time runs out on us. We are awarded with experience points as we kill and go further into the game, and we can use these points as currency to upgrade our weapons. Besides weapons, there are magic spells called Ninjutsu that come to our aid in Ninja Ultimate. The experience points also come in handy here, allowing us to purchase training sessions to better our magic casting skills. Ninja Ultimate has unlimited levels, and we progress to another level when we are able to defeat a certain number of enemies in a specific time frame. What makes this RPG different from others in the same genre is, of course, the special Ninjutsu skills, but also the fact that it does everything in a very polished manner. The graphics are attractive, the game controls smooth, and the game play interesting. What more reasons do you need to play this game? Read More

Features: The game is out now for $1.99 as well as a free lite version to try before you buy.

I guess this is what one would call playing from a different perspective. In this basket game, we are not the ones shooting the basket, but we control the basket itself. There is a player who is definitely not a good one, and we have to make sure his haphazard shots get in to the basket. In Oh Basket, the iPhone acts as a natural accelerometer to control the movement of the basket. Simply tilt to whichever direction the ball is coming to capture it. There are two baskets, so it gets a little slippery. The balls also keep coming constantly, and that means we need to be fast with the controls. There are three difficulty modes to choose from. While playing any game, it is always wise to start at the easy level so that we can familiarize ourselves with the game. And especially with this one, we need to practice! In each level, we have to score a certain number of points to progress to the next level. If that sounds too hard, it should come as a welcome relief that we have three lives to use up for each level. But that doesn’t mean that we should slacken on our play, for as the developers have warned, the player is possibly the worst basket ball player in the world, and his shots prove that. There are power ups and power downs to make the game play more interesting. When they appear on the screen, we have to drag them down to the player to unleash their power. The background scenario also changes to add a refreshing touch to the game. Oh Basket is a cool game to play especially because of the smooth controls. And yes, for once is it fun to control the basket instead of the player. Read More
