Bug Village Windows Phone
It’s a free Live game!
Only it isn’t, not really. It’s a ‘free’ game in the same way that Farmville and countless other Facebook titles are ‘free’ – that is to say that you don’t have to pay to play the game, but you won’t get very far without doing so. For anyone familiar with the types of game I’m talking about, what I’m about to describe won’t come as a surprise, but this is how the game works:
You’re given a small amount of materials for constructing items – buildings for your ‘bug village’. You’re also given a tiny amount of coins. These coins are used to pay for special objects, and to hurry actions up. Something you’ll want to do a lot, as even the most basic action takes a long time – the average building takes an hour to construct. A bug can collect a small amount of materials from a pile (which you have to pay materials to construct) in fifteen minutes, while more significant quantities take either two or six hours. Presented with activity times of this length you’ll quickly find yourself reaching for the ‘hurry’ button in order to get anything done.

Rune Legend Windows Phone
Fit all the shapes in the spaces. A statement which accurately describes this game. Perhaps more significantly, a statement which it wouldn’t be unfair to reduce the game down to: it really is that simple a release.
Presented with a row of blocks, you have to cram them all into a cavity. The challenge is in working out where to place them, and in what orientation; starting with small areas to fill with only a handful of pieces, the game builds up in scale, leading to larger areas with more pieces, making it ever harder to plan in advance where to place them. It gradually becomes a real challenge, and just as it gets into its stride… it stops. Faced with a system easy to extend – designing levels to fit the small range of blocks on offer shouldn’t be too hard – the developers chose instead to focus on a small number of levels. Which would be fine, were they particularly well-designed, but as it stands they all feel rather generic.

Permutile2
Press release for Permutile²
Permutile² is a unique swapping puzzle concept from Beautiful Mind Games. A supercharged version of its popular predecessor, Permutile Solo, Permutile² offers two additional options to play the game in turned-based mode – against either the computer or a human opponent.
• In single-player mode, swap tiles and move them to their target positions in as few steps as possible.
• In turned-based two-player mode, your goal is to move more tiles to their target positions than your opponent.
• Use number and color clues to figure out each tile’s destination.
• Play bonus rounds (every 3-5 games, depending on the grid size) or choose higher difficulty levels to earn extra points when playing against the AI.
• Track your performance over time and post your grade to online leaderboards.
• Get up to speed in no time with an interactive and entertaining in-game tutorial.
• Choose from a variety of difficulty levels and grid sizes.
• Leave the game unfinished and come back later to complete it.
• Never play the same puzzle twice — each puzzle is randomly generated and unique.

Solitaire
We have seen a few
solitaire game for windows phone devices , this new game that goes by the same name is another
card game for windows phone gamers. This is a classical solitaire game for Windows Phone 7 where you can play normal, vegas and no score modes, with one or three draws cards, with or without timer. Developers pitch below
I know, there are many implementations of solitaire, but as a developer I was not satisfied with either of them. What make this application unique, are the features and design. My solution completely suits to Windows Phone 7 Metro UI. The options sreens offer you a clean design to select between features. You can change between different backgounds, card backs, and card styles. The undo functionality is also implemented moreover, you can set the back button to do undo as well.
During the development the usability was pretty important to me. Selecting the appropriate card in a ~4″ screen is sometimes very difficult to me, that’s why I introduced the card selector screen.
Tap a card stack with more than one card, and a half-transparent screen will appear, where you can select exactly that card you wanted to move. With the last release I started to supports some gestures as well. From now, you don’t have to drag and drop the cards from card deck to home stack, it is enough to flick them in that direction.

MonsterUp Lite
MonsterUp was a good
platform jumper for Windows Phone, we came across and
reviewed the title in the initial days of windows Phone and were quite impressed with it. The devs have now update the game and the lite version with more features , press release below
over the past couple of months, MonsterUp Lite has been downloaded more than 10.000 times and many people were disappointed to find out that it was more like a Trial version, limiting your playtime just to test the game for a few minutes. We never want to disappoint our fellow gamers, so we decided to upgrade MonsterUp Lite to a proper Lite version. The new version, which will be automatically be provided as an update to everyone who has already downloaded MonsterUp Lite, will provide unlimited gameplay with Rhin-O, our green monster in his home land, Trello Land’s Countryside. Play as much as you like and save your high scores to compete with your friends. The full version of MonsterUp is always available of course, if you want to use online scoreboards (through VortexLink), all our different Monsters with their unique and fun special abilities and all our different background themes.
