Tweet Want to try out Tiny Brains? Unless your brain is actually tiny, the answer is plainly ‘yes.’ If you’re not interested in a “3D co-op action puzzle game in which up to four players can take the role of tiny (but super-powered!) lab animals,” then there’s something wrong with you and we at Frisky Mongoose cannot [...]

Tweet There’s a common theme running through Bloom Box, the upcoming iOS puzzler from TriplePoint client Nexx Studio, but I just can’t seem to put my green thumb on it. Bloom Box tasks players with placing the titular bloom boxes into a field of flowers in such a way that, when triggered, they will fire projectiles (made [...]

Tweet Spry Fox — they of the Triple Town and Highgrounds puzzle hits of recent times — broke the icy silence today surrounding their next project. It’s called Road Not Taken, and yes, it’s inspired somewhat by the Robert Frost poem with the diverging roads. It’s also extremely pretty to look at, so far: According to the foxes [...]

Tweet Some time After Today, the new Will Smith movie After Earth is coming to theaters. May 31st, specifically; the day Before June. After Yesterday, though, we learned that TriplePoint client Reliance Games will be releasing an After Earth mobile game this summer — a window wide enough that it may be Before After Earth or After After [...]

Tweet You got your tower defense in my match-three puzzle! Well, you got your upgradeable units in my anti-heroic aesthetics! This would appear to be the gruesome gestalt that is Evilot, a new “puzzle defense” game coming from TriplePoint client Syrenaica. Evilot takes some of the best ideas in game mechanics and smashes them togetheralot to form a [...]

Tweet The news about Plants vs. Zombies 2 has a vital new detail: a release window! We shared the news back in March that PopCap had revealed PvZ2, but nothing else apart from that it existed and that it would show up this summer. Well, now “summer” has been narrowed down to “July.” Plants vs. Zombies [...]

Tweet Look, I don’t know how you do things beneath the surface, but here on land, we do not engage in sandwich-based love affairs, and we certainly don’t have them at the center of our celebrity rehab scandals and philanthropy gone wrong. If this is how sandwiches work underwater, then I am turning in my [...]

Tweet Yesterday, we knew only that TriplePoint client PlayFirst was teasing their new game by hurling sandwiches into the sea. Seems like there’s easier ways to feed the marine life, but I am not a biologist; presumably someone at PlayFirst has conducted a recent study on the effects of hoagies on endemic species of the [...]

Tweet So, there’s a new game coming out — I think. I’d love to tell you more about it, and whether it’s actually a game and not just some sort of environmental hazard, but TriplePoint client PlayFirst is being very coy about the entire ordeal. This morning, they announced that they were “building interest for [...]

Tweet Papo & Yo is on its way to the PC shortly from TriplePoint client Minority, but not for another two weeks. Thankfully, Minority is offering a bit of good news to make up for this interminable wait, so we don’t all turn to frog-eating in order to cope with our problems. If you pre-order [...]

Tweet Facebook games have grown and evolved a long way beyond adding social features to match-three titles — in the last couple of years alone, we’ve seen fully 3D games like Robot Rising and Buddy Rush come to the platform thanks to tools like Unity. Of course, this has resulted in horrible things like robots that rise [...]

Tweet I don’t know about the rest of you, but I relish the chance to sit down and play an old-school tabletop RPG. Character sheets, dice, frantically checking the sourcebook to see if my ranged attack managed to hit the monster behind partial cover because I have a feat that lets me spot weak points… [...]
