Zora automatically runs forward and your child can simply tap to jump between levels or over obstacles. It is a triple-decker endless runner featuring a friendly zombie (aka Frombie) girl named Zora who, along with her flying squirrel sidekick are trying to escape the evil Meanatoad and his army of menacing Bullfrog’s to restore peace to her home planet of Ssorc. Next up are a couple of freebies to entertain the little ones in your house, the first of which is Frombie Run. Line Defense is a great arcade-style freebie that is worth checking out. There are purchasable upgrades and powerups via the game’s in-game currency (crystals), but I never felt obligated or coerced into spending real money on anything. Each boss has different projectile patterns and attacks, making each one a new and interesting to fight. One particularly neat aspect of the game are the per-level boss-battles where the player has to ricochet the boss’ own projectiles back at them to deal damage. Sure it is inspired by Missile Command, but the touch-based line drawing mechanic for laying down a defense when the various projectiles come flying at your city gives it a modern, more tactile feel that adds to the nervous energy of the game. That would have been a real shame, because this is one frenetic and fun touch-based game. Line Defense is a game that I very nearly passed right over, writing it off as just another of the droves of Missile Command clones on the App Store. The game is absolutely free to play and download, with a single $1.99 IAP to remove advertisements and unlock daily challenges. The variable setup and limited “instruction” set make for some really interesting (and tough) gameplay as you take turns with your enemies trying to position yourself for a safe, stealthy take down. Instead you try to push your foes into spikes with your shield, drag them into lava pits with your hook or stun them next to bombs by leaping. Using a limited set of actions, you must dispatch with enemies while avoiding lava, bombs and direct combat with enemies. Set in the word of Greek mythology, players take on the role of Enyo, the greek goddess of war, battling a variety of enemies while trying to recover 3 legendary artifacts. Originally conceived during a weeklong roguelike challenge, the game was inspired by popular turn-based strategy games like Hoplite and Auro. As we head into the holiday weekend, there is a nice slate of new iOS game releases to entertain you.įirst up is ENYO a new, stylized tactical roguelike published by Tiny Touch Tales, the studio behind Card Crawl (my game of the year last year) and the upcoming game Card Thief.
