Angry Birds Action!

Angry Birds Action! (Free game): The new game in the Angry Birds series stars the birds that appear as counterparts in the upcoming The Angry Birds Movie. Instead of using a slingshot as in previous games in the series, the birds launch through a pinball area in a top-down perspective and bounce like balls throughout the stage. Players have a limited number of birds to use to complete each level that requires collecting all the eggs. At the time of its launch, Angry Birds Action! had ninety levels, but more have already been added so the fun never ends. Developed by Tag Games, Angry Birds Action! is available on iOS and Android.

Great Big War Game

The sequel to the multi-award-winning Great Little War Game returns with new military units and twice the fun. Great Big War Game is a tactical strategy game with a much larger single-player campaign and an online multiplayer mode. The campaign features fifty missions to complete (from capturing the enemy base to escorting a general), new units and vehicles, weather effects (such as fog covering the entire stage), and seventy maps in the online multiplayer mode to play with your friends. All this accompanied by soldiers with a cartoonish style and a great sense of humor that will accompany you throughout the game. Developed by Rubicon Development, Great Big War Game is available on iOS, Android, and BlackBerry.

King’s League: Odyssey Mobile

Another strategy game but with medieval battles. King’s League: Odyssey Mobile begins with an assassination attempt against the king that led to the death of the royal knight Whitney. A new League is announced with the hope of finding a worthy person to take on the role of royal knight, and you could be the chosen one. The game lets you recruit and train units to form your own army to compete in the League. You have forty-six different units, each with its own upgrades, which will help you overcome the challenging missions through deadly dungeons. Developed by Kurechii, King’s League: Odyssey Mobile is available on iOS, Android, and Windows Phone.

Sentinel: Mars Defense

War has come to the planet Mars. Sentinel: Mars Defense puts you in control of an Earth colony that is fighting for survival against an alien threat on the red planet. The only hope for humanity is you, the commander of the ship Sentinel. In this tower defense, you must protect the key structures that block the enemies' path so they don't reach your fortress. To do that, you have a variety of towers that you can upgrade, and droids that can repair destroyed buildings and improve resources. Developed by Origin8, Sentinel: Mars Defense is available exclusively on iOS.

Simon's Ritual

Enzo, a dog who lost his owner in a terrible accident, decides to visit an old sorcerer deep in the jungle, capable of performing a ritual to bring his deceased owner back to life. In Simon's Ritual, you must follow the sorcerer's instructions, mixing the ingredients in the correct order. To do this, you must drag the different ingredients to the cauldron and trace a series of points in the shape of a star. You have to be fast and precise, otherwise the reincarnation might not turn out as well as Enzo hoped. Developed by Alebrije Estudios, Simon's Ritual is available on iOS and Android.
