We love it when devs throw tradition out the window and try something completely new! Now, if Studio Yomi could just come up with a replacement for traditional level design principles to go with their brand spankin' new platforming interface, they'd have a real classic on their hands.
Mobile Snap has set a new standard for physics puzzlers with this deep and well polished offering. How can "Gravity Lab!" not stand out when it gives you exactly four times the physics to worry about compared to the genre norm?

A beat 'em up where you play as a dude who looks just like Bruce Lee? That's about all it will take to sell some folks on "KungFu Warrior," so it's a good thing this one has a slick gameplay system and content in spades to back up the magnetic draw of its premise.
