Last week (well, technically last week) I introduced you all to the all-new, all-video Week in Gaming Apps. Some of you loved it. Others wanted a return to the classic format, with the giant pictures. So I did both, and that’s why it’s Monday now.
Stay turned next week, when I will turn around, fall down and do it all again. I wonder if I’ll ever learn? *does a stupid dance for you*
What I Played This Week…
Knightmare Tower – iOS – $2.99
After Stephen Totilo raved about Knightmare Tower during his review of the Ouya, I was eager to get my hands on the endless-riser for iOS. And then I never let it go. Seriously, it ate my weekend, and it’s all Totilo’s fault.

Rymdkapsel – iOS, Android – $3.99
The essence of real-time strategy/base-building gameplay. Totilo loved it on PlayStation Mobile. I love it here.

A Brief History of the World – iOS – $5.99
The popular era-hopping board game gets the iPad treatment, and it works incredibly well.
Pivvot – iOS – $2.99
It’s a game of dodge-stuff with a nice beat and a clean, cool style.
Baby Nom Nom – iOS – $2.99
A clever twist on maze puzzlers, Baby Nom Nom adds grain groups and fruit collecting to the mix.
My Muppets Show – iOS, Android – Free
If you love My Singing Monsters, you’ll at least recognize the design of My Muppets Show. It’s pretty much a carbon copy, only with Muppets, and Muppets make everything better.
An Alien With a Magnet – iOS – $.99
You really need to watch the video to fully appreciate this one. You probably shouldn’t.
Brick Roll – iOS – $1.99
I only just now realized this was a play on the phrase “Rick Roll”. I am pretty dense sometimes. Good game, though!
Kid Tripp – iOS – $.99
Classic platforming with a mean streak. Not for the faint of heart or the easily frustrated, but perfect for folks looking for the rush of accomplishment.
