Let's play with the mobile games of the week! A column full of adventures, mysteries, and little animals. Do you want games? Catch animals in Rodeo Stampede, solve cases in Miss Fisher and the Deathly Maze and explore a cyberpunk New York in Leap of Fate. Let's play!
Hidden Folks
You thought Where’s Waldo Now? was challenging, right? The incredibly charming Hidden Folks uses a similar principle, but much better (and with a lovely soundtrack). The game is made up of hand-drawn black-and-white scenes in which you must locate the people, animals, and items shown at the bottom of the screen. However, the scenes are not static: you have to move things aside and trigger small interactions to find some of the objectives. Developed by Adriaan de Jongh and Sylvain Tegroeg, Hidden Folks is available on iOS and Android.
Leap of Fate
The story of Leap of Fate takes place in New York City where magic is real. Under the control of a technician who must develop powers, you face hordes of enemies, and the only way you can defeat them is by using your ability to pass through shadows, a kind of teleportation that gives you an advantage when moving around the scenarios. This game set in a cyberpunk world is a unique combination of isometric perspective, frantic action, and roguelike elements, where you will have to make use and abuse of your abilities to get far. Developed by Clever Plays, Leap of Fate is available exclusively on iOS.
Miss Fisher and the Deathly Maze
Based on the Australian mystery series, this game is ideal for those who miss the fearless, clever, and urban detective, thanks to Tin Man Games, famous for its gamebook adventures. Miss Fisher and the Deathly Maze is part point-and-click adventure and part visual novel, where you have to explore various scenes looking for clues (and fabulous outfits) to solve a series of mysteries. It is a charming return to Phryne's adventures, with the beloved cast of characters making appearances. And the best part is that you can download the first episode for free. Developed by Tin Man Games, Miss Fisher and the Deathly Maze is available on iOS and Android.
Rodeo Stampede
From the creator of Skiing Yeti Mountain comes the very strange but compelling Rodeo Stampede. This game is like a one-touch endless runner, but you must link from animal to animal, find new species to fill your zoo, and complete missions to improve your zoo and obtain exclusive animals. As always, you must avoid obstacles in your run to get the best score. So saddle your horse and get ready to ride the wildest animals on this side of the savannah. Developed by Shelly Alon, Rodeo Stampede is available on iOS and Android.
Splitter Critters
Splitter Critters: An adorable and smart puzzle game. In Splitter Critters you have to guide the little bugs to their flying saucer by drawing lines to split the screen and move the pieces so the bugs can reach different levels. It's a fairly simple concept once you start, but as you progress, the game ramps up the difficulty curve with new obstacles and enemies that want to devour your creatures. And for a better experience, enjoy the soundscape of each planet, which reaches its maximum level of immersion using headphones, setting the tone and character of your journey. Developed by RAC7, Splitter Critters is available on iOS and Android.
