"Star Serum" tries its hand at a variety of genres with different degrees of success. There's a fantastic little logic puzzle game inside, but you'll need the reflexes of a true action gaming Jedi to reach it!
It tends to be more laid back than its closest genre cousins, but "Carota!" succeeds as a fun and varied action puzzler you'll want to try out if you're looking for something that's well out of the ordinary.
The "Tank Hero" formula, a mashup of deep logic puzzle and simple twitch action, stands out from the crowd just as much in "Laser Wars" as it did in the prequel.
This time we chat it up with Mark Ng and Alkas Baybas, developers of the hit game "Tank Hero!" If you like tanks and lasers, the sequel is one you'll definitely want to keep an eye on.
Taking his turn in the hotseat is Kristian Jespersen, game designer and programmer for Zaxis Games' "Harry the Fairy." This upcoming puzzle adventure might have a flightly name, but its gorgeous presentation will bring a tear to your eye.
If you're seeking lots of special moves or evolving gameplay mechanics you won't find them in "Katana Jack," but it perfectly captures the feel of ye olde single-screen arcade platformers. This is definitely a title you should snatch up if you're looking for a simple action game you can play in short spurts from time to time.
Next up in the iFanzine chat room is David Marino, co-founder of Hidden Variable Studios. Inside, we learn more about this up-and-coming studio's debut puzzle title, "Bag It!"
