CBE Software released the downloadable playable demo for their narrative Sci Fi PC game called J.U.L.I.A which takes place in 2430 AD stars Rachel Manners, an astrobiologist who awakens from a cryogenic sleep after a long journey to find herself alone orbiting an unknown planet, with J.U.L.I.A, the ships artificial intelligence and her only companion. Partnered with J.U.L.I.A they must solve all the mysteries and puzzles. I would describe J.U.L.I.A as a giant point and click puzzle adventure game. The graphics and concept look really sharp so far.
Nose Invaders iOS Game Download – Pick this one?
Sorry. We couldn’t help overselves. What do you expect from the cracked “editorial” team at a site called HarryBalls.com. Yes. The Swedish game company known as Dear Future Astronaut released a physics puzzle adventure game for the iOS platform called Nose Invaders priced at $0.99. Nose Invaders takes place in someone’s nose. Who’s nose? No one knows. Sorry. When a mobile game takes place in noses some one has to write about it. Virus have invaded the noses of various creatures and you must guide the hero to wipe out said viruses from the noses. You aim the hero by tapping the screen towards the targeted viruses but you must also pay attention to the direction of the creature’s breath which will influence the direction your hero takes like a sail boat. It’s easy to learn and difficult to master.
