c-Man Championship ition DX
True, you can see a towering, gleaming version of c-Man terrorize cities on the big screen in xels this weekend—but given the reviews the increasingly rough reputation of Sler’s comedic work, I’d advise saving your money. Instead, put your $5 to great use in c-Man Championship ition DX, an awesome update of the arcade classic for Android. ke the original Championship ition, DX remixes the old favorite with larger stages, a huge variety of them, too—132, to be precise. And they can be tackled in timed score-centric modes, with an emphasis on combos using bombs to maximize your run. And the flashy aesthetic finds the sweet spot between retro fun modern flash. It surely offers loads more fun than xels, at half the price (or less).

Adventure e zzle Quest
Mash up one of the most addictive puzzle games on the planet with perhaps the most joyfully creative show on TV, what do you get? ll, Adventure e zzle Quest, but hopefully also a pretty awesome Android game. st launched this week, the licensed pairing follows the great Marvel zzle Quest, which we heartily recommend. ke that earlier entry, Adventure e zzle Quest puts the cartoon favorite’s exuberant characters style atop the match-three puzzle battler, with role-playing elements adding depth to the journey plus amusing dialogue exchanges between missions. Based on the small chunk I played on my Nexus 5 ( the user reviews), the initial release is a little sluggish buggy, but it’s plenty playable enjoyable.
use – Curated Music Stories
Discoverability is always an issue these days, as music services provide seemingly endless libraries of tunes—so here’s something interesting to consider. use isn’t a full-fledged music publication of its own, but rather a collection of curated digital magazines comprised of quality music-related journalism from around the web.

Curation makes it more than a glorified music-themed RSS reader, it might help you cut through the clutter find some great stuff.
loteer
In most cases, games that are difficult to control are deemed bad or broken. But every so often, there’s a game that is intentionally tuned to frustrate stymie your best efforts— somehow, it ends up feeling charming endearing. Retry Q/em> fit the bill; so too does the new loteer. From the maker of the great vvot, the game finds you trying to control a jetpack-equipped heroine. Guiding her through the air then ling safely seems downright impossible at first. After a while, it seems slightly less impossible. It’s super tricky, but that’s the point, the missions try to ease you into some level of minor competence. But really, mastery hardly feels like the goal: it’s the enjoyment of the fiddly jetpack hilarious collisions, along with soaking in the attractive Chicago-inspired artwork. It’s a neat game to tool around in—if you can take the punishment.
