Independent game Developer Pentaloop released Candy Toss, a physics based puzzle game for the iOS game download priced at $0.99. Candy Toss features Melons and Mango the two main characters. Mango must feed Melon by tossing candy over, through and off various obstacles.

Captain Skyro iOS and Android Game Download
Team Pok Pok, a Sydney based indie game development team released Captain Skyro, a physics puzzle game for the iOS and Android platforms for $0.99. In the game Captain Skyro, the captain’s “team” executed a mutiny booting him off their sky ship. You must guide Captain Skyro from cloud to cloud to help his rise through the sky to recapture his ship. You do this by flinging him using a similar mechanic to Angry Birds except you aim vertically rather than horizontally. You pull back aim and let go. Each cloud contains a wooden dowel he must catch his hook on. If he misses he falls. If he falls often enough you lose and the game ends. We don’t see anything super innovative in this game but like many mobile games priced a $0.99 playing Captain Skyro could kill time when are on commuting, waiting on a line, or taking a dump.
Captain Skyro iOS Game Download $0.99
Captain Skyro Android Game Download $0.99
Here’s the description from Team Pok Pok:
“A mutiny has been staged and the captain has been forced to walk the plank. The Captain Skyro game takes you on a swashbuckling adventure through the clouds. Pirates, treasure and challenging enemies abound as you climb your way into the sky to reclaim your ship.
The mobile game consists of 40 levels spanning across 4 worlds. Progressing through the game, you will be introduced to new and evolving environments as well as dynamic and tricky enemies as you make your way to the top of each world to challenge the pirate boss.
With the initial release on the Android Market, Captain Skyro is now available for iPhone and iPad. The iOS version also has Game Center support to track achievements and compare high scores with your friends.
Captain Skyro’s gameplay is both fun and accessible while each level requires speed, skill and strategy to avoid the enemies, collect the treasure and complete the challenges. With unfolding levels of difficulty Capitan Skyro is a challenge and a delight for game players of all ages and skill levels.

Finally a game worthy of zombie lovers tired of seeing zombies die at the hands of crazed humans. Spark Plug Games anounced their plans to release Plight of the Zombies on the iOS and Android platforms later this summer.
Here’s a partial description of Plight of the Zombies from the folks at Spark Plug Games:
:All we ask is that you to check out our cause and help end zombie hunger. There are those among us who are misunderstood. They’re rejected by society and even killed, just for being who they are! It’s time to walk a mile in someone else’s shoe, or in this instance, someone’s deceased and quite undead shoe as you feel the everlasting pangs of hunger.
You know what it’s like to be counting down the clock to lunchtime, absolutely craving a burger (or veggie burger). Just imagine that feeling every day. And instead of burgers, you want brains. It could happen, right?
“Zombie hunger is a real epidemic and one that we take very seriously here at Spark Plug Games,” said John O’Neill, carnivorous President of Spark Plug Games. “We have invested heavily into the cure for zombie hunger in this yummy game, and we hope it solves the plight of zombies everywhere.”
Plight of the Zombie features:
● Play over 30 deliciously brainy puzzles
● Be one with your inner zombie. As you nom on yummy brains
● Support a savory cause by helping end zombie hunger
● Appetizing store with plenty of tasteful accessories for your zombies
● Available initially on Android platforms by Q2 2012, iOS by Q3
● It’s free! Some people say there’s no such thing as a free lunch. We beg to differ…”
We look forward to playing Plight of the Zombies when it becomes available for download.

Tower Siege Free IOS Game Download
Synaptic Wave, a Ukrainian game development company decided to offer Tower Siege for free for a limited amount of time. Synaptic Wave pointed us to the game play video trailer above for their extremely similar game called Tesla Wars because they don’t have one for Tower Siege. We have played both Tower Siege and Tesla Wars each to the 10th level and they are both identical so far, except Tower Siege is free for the time being.
Both games are a twist on the tower defense genre without the strategy but require much more eye hand coordination. You must direct Tesla type electrical energy strikes towards black stick figures attacking both your power tower and the fence. You earn points for how many you kill and taking no mercy on the injured stick figures crawling away from your attacks.
