Mobile games of the week (01/21/15)
FRAMED

FRAMED

In this multi-award-winning noir-style puzzle game, your goal is to rearrange the panels of a comic book to change the story's outcome. Simply grab a panel and swap it with another to keep the protagonist from running into danger, like cops or gangsters lurking in some panels. With beautiful hand-made art, the animations immerse you in FRAMED's noir world, accompanied by one of the best jazz soundtracks. Developed by Loveshack Entertainment, FRAMED is available exclusively on iOS.

Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft

When it appeared last year as just a beta, we all set aside whatever we were playing to dive into this great card game from the creators of World of Warcraft. Today, Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft is a wonderful casual and competitive game that attracts both old Magic: The Gathering champions and shy Candy Crush Saga addicts. Constantly updated and now available on Android, Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft will hold your attention for hundreds of years. Developed by Blizzard Entertainment, Hearthstone is available on iOS and Android.

Puddle

Another puzzle, but this time a platformer where your goal is to guide a puddle of liquid to its destination, not by moving the liquid itself, but by tilting your phone's screen. Puddle's gameplay is physics-based, so the liquid moves as realistically as possible, with friction, momentum, and each fluid's unique properties affecting the environment to send as much liquid as possible through obstacles like fires, cracks, and spills, across settings like pipes, laboratories, a human body, and even a sewer, to name a few. Developed by Neko Entertainment, Puddle is available on iOS and Android.

Shadow Blade

Kuro is a young boy whose goal is to become the Shadow Blade, but first he must learn from the last remaining ninja master. Your mission is to guide him through challenging levels, past countless traps and enemies hiding in every corner. You need to be fast, stealthy, and aware of your surroundings. You need to be a ninja. This ninja platformer features intuitive touch controls and a variety of weapons and challenging levels to conquer. Can you do it? Developed by Dead Mage Game Studio, Shadow Blade is available on iOS and Android (free version).

The Survivor: Rusty Forest

This excellent zombie game puts you once again in control of one of the few survivors who managed to avoid a virus that wiped out most of the world's population. Now you must survive on your own, not only by escaping dangerous zombies but also infected animals and the world itself. The Survivor: Rusty Forest features a day and night system where you must use sunlight to go out and search for supplies, weapons, and tools to build your own shelter. You'll explore a variety of environments, from abandoned villages and military bases to forests and lakes, while surviving the dangers along the way. Developed by Starship Studio, The Survivor: Rusty Forest is available on iOS and Android.
