Zombies, Muffins, Doodles, and Kangaroos? It Must Be The Week in Gaming Apps

We’re finally back up to speed after last week’s regrettable triple play, charging headfirst into 2012 with our mobile devices held up in front of our faces so we can’t see a thing. What might we be playing when we stumble into traffic?

Speaking for myself, there’s a good chance I’ll severely dent someone’s Prius with my shattered body while desperately attempting to defeat the boss on my third play-through of Muffin Knight, a game that gets progressively harder each time you finish it, while I fail to improve. They’ll say I probably should have gone for Run Roo Run for the getting run over puns, or perhaps Zombie Wonderland 2 for the undead angle.

What I am trying to say is that I’m pretty sure the coroner will have to pluck shards of lovely mobile gaming device glass from my skull before putting on the makeup. Have a great weekend!

If you have a suggestion for an app for the iPhone, iPad, Android or Windows Phone 7 that you’d like to see highlighted, let us know.

I original planed on topping off today’s Gaming App of the Day with “Revolutionary Game Features Unicorns Pooping Explosive Rainbows”, but I didn’t want to oversell Angry Mob Games’ Muffin Knight. More »

To channel the late great Chris Farley: Do you remember the part in Apollo 13 (the movie and the real-life NASA crisis), where they used the Moon’s gravity to slingshot their crippled space shuttle around and back to Earth? That was awesome. That is also essentially the setup for Falanxia’s Spaced Away, an iPad 2 game that is all about slingshotting your way to safety. More »

The App Store’s rotten with platformers. Everywhere you turn, there’s some developer revisiting his or her childhood with their own take on the hoppy/jumpy left-to-right adventure genre. Many of these stink or are otherwise unremarkable. But 5th Cell’s Run Roo Run is different. More »
