Since I’m not that much of a board game fanatic, I had to get my info straight for Snakes and Ladders, a popular classic board game, before giving a shot to Snakes and Ladders World Edition on the iPhone.

The concept behind the game is very simple. You have to roll a die to move on a 10×10 board, numbered from 1 to 100. The first one to reach 100 wins the game. But along the way there are snakes and ladders scattered around the board. If you roll your die and land on a square that has the lower end of a ladder, you will climb up to wherever the ladder takes you and continue from there. If, however, you land on a snake’s mouth, you’ll go down the snake’s curvy body. Some squares will also feature a star, which means you’ll get the chance to roll again.

Snakes and Ladders World Edition for the iPhone brings this popular classic concept to [...]

FlamingIgloo puts a spin on the classic tower defense games, whereby you’re not bent on killing endless waves of attackers, but rather your only task is to keep your “tower” together while one attacker shoots flaming balls of fire towards it. Sound good? It really does and I was wicked excited to give it a go, but got really down when I saw the insanely lengthy tutorial and even more so when playing the first level. Why? Read on before judging, I do know the game has received high-praise on the AppStore from others.

As noted before, your only task in this iOS game is to keep your igloo from burning down while a nearby ship shoots at it and never misses. The ship will do two kinds of damage to your igloo and its surroundings. It can either out a whole through your igloo, crack the ice beneath it or start a [...]

The wicked monster has stolen your hat, got up on a drawer, and now he’s throwing stars out of the hat. Do you think you can catch the stars fast enough, so that you don’t wake up the other monster sleeping under the drawer? Find out by downloading Wicked Stars from the AppStore.

Wicked Stars is a wicked cute game, where you have to catch falling stars. But you must be careful not to drop too many, because if you wake up the monster, it’s game over, and you have to restart the challenge. So try to catch as many stars as you can, earn points and clear the level. Also, keep in mind you don’t have to catch every star the monster throws your way. Only the bright ones are precious, while the black ones will melt your hat, preventing you from catching any other star for a short period of time.

Wicked Stars provides [...]
