Being late on stuff is my thing but I usually don’t talk about the “legal” trademark trolling that happen around game. But after King decides to trademark the word Saga and now the word “candy” (what next ? crush to get the trifecta) I told myself are you Forking kidding me ?

Look like some developer decided to go up against King and thrown an impromptu game jam has sprung up in response to news.

The Candy Jam was thrown together by developers Caribou (@caribouloche) and T-Wave (@uuav).

Developers submitted links to their games, along with images and a description, through the Candy Jam Tumblr page before the February 3rd submissions deadline.

Here a some of candy game from the jam:

Candy Puzzle Saga

Candy Avoid Saga (Keybol)

Candy’s Crushes Saga

Candy Crunch Legend

Candy Combo (Matt Rix)

Final Fantasy VI

For those who don’t know one of my favorite game of all time Final Fantasy VI is out on android and iOs. It come out with “improved” graphic and hopefully with the extra goodies of the gameboy advance version (Dragon Den’s, new espers, etc) 

I’m big fan of this game, I’ve even recently finished the gameboy advance version. I find that the game might be a big expensive at 15.99$ for a mobile game, but If you think about it the original game was around 60$.

Dragon Sky: Final Fantasy meet Clash of Titan

It seems that Square Enix is going to be inspired by Supercell’s Clash of Clans with its upcoming RTS Dragon Sky.
from the few images we got it seems that their mixing the artwork familiar Final Fantasy-loving crowd with the base-raiding gameplay of CoC, Dragon Sky has a lot going on.
It’s even have Final Fantasy XI composer Naoshi Mizuta attached to the project.

A large portion of Dragon Sky will focus on multiplayer battles and cooperative raid boss instances, but there is also a single-player campaign that doles out the story behind the events of the world.

If you like all those collectable strategy game that seems to have appeared on mobile recently you are in luck, Atomic Brawl Deliver.

What the heck is Atomic Brawl ? It’s a free-to-play collectable strategy game (kind like MTG) where you use wit and skill to kick your friends ass and humiliate strangers online. Ok I’ve went a little to far here… But trust me, it’s a really cool game. It’s set on a hex-based board where you and your opponent take turns to deploy and move brawlers. You can use special items and squash enemies while ultimately try to destroy your opponent’s core.

The more you play, the more you earn point and unlock neat stuffs like cards, new core and beautiful girls. (all true except the girls…) With your new cards you can create custom deck and try to find synergy between cards and you core.

Still unconvinced ? check out the trailer :

So when I’ve heard that there is a RTS coming to the browser I couldn’t contain my self.  A group passionate gamers decided to create a platform to allow developer to build upon and from this platform they made a game call currently call project Atlas and it’s look pretty cool.

Space chick

Have you ever felt the need of going to space and save cuties, well if it’s the case Space chick is for you. Space chick is a space (Duh!) game where your heroes jump from planet to planet using their gravity  (like in Angry bird space) and save chick stuck on asteroid and other planet. Beware of monster that will try to knock you off and grab your chick for themselves.

The gravity system makes even this simple platforming technique a lot more interesting. One-tap controls for jumping also make Space Chicks an easily accessible title.

Humble Indie Bundle Bee X :D

A new humble Indie Bundle (Humble Indie Bundle X) was out a week ago and you got only one day to get it 🙂 (being late to post news and review is my thing)

Great game in there, specially if you go the extra mile and pay more than average, I personally got Hoard and Reus, I do really like the concept Reus where you are a god that have the control of mighty that help you build a planet and grow a civilization. 
Hoard is pretty cool too, you’re a dragon that raid villages and cities to have the biggest hoard of all dragons. There is different mode, capture the princess, vs other dragons, coop.

Basic game :

To the moon

To the Moon is an indie Adventure RPG, about two doctors traversing through the memories of a dying man to fulfill his last wish.

Joe Danger 2: The movie

Picking up where the chart topping, award winning “Joe Danger” finished, take the world’s most determined stuntman to Hollywood, on the set of the greatest action film ever made. “Joe Danger 2 The Movie” is the game that allows you to out run an avalanche as a skiing secret agent, take on laser spewing robots whilst flying a jetpack, or even become a water-skiing, sky-diving, quad-biking, dinosaur dodging jungle adventurer.

Papa & Yo

Papo & Yo is the story of a young boy, Quico, and his best friend, Monster. Monster is a huge beast with razor-sharp teeth, but that doesn’t scare Quico away from playing with him. That said, Monster does have a very dangerous problem: an addiction to poisonous frogs. The minute he sees one hop by, he’ll scarf it down and fly into a violent, frog-induced rage where no one, including Quico, is safe. And yet, Quico loves his Monster and wants to save him.

Runner 2

Runner2 is divided into five themed worlds, each with fourteen regular levels and five bonus stages for a grand total of ninety-five. The goal of each level is to guide the chosen character to the end of the level without striking an obstacle or falling off the screen. The character runs automatically, and in order to arrive safely at the finish, the player must perform various simple actions such as jumping, sliding and kicking, as well as more complex moves including hanging from rails, deflecting projectiles with a shield, and slide-kicking.

 

Extra (if you pay more than the average bidder):

Hoard

In classic medieval fables, knights would travel the kingdom in search of dragons to slay and treasure to take. What a mean thing to do!

Let reverse the role here and take the controls of the antagonist and burn down those village because we can.

 

Reus

In Reus you take control of nature through the hands of mighty giants. You possess all imaginable powers over nature! There is only one thing on the planet that you do not control: mankind, with all their virtues and and all their vices. You can shape their world, but not their will. It’s your responsibility to maintain a balance in which man is not overpowered by nature, and nature does not fall to man’s greed
