The Lowdown:

Starring into the abyss of mobile gaming is quite intimidating. Every day, hoards of games are released upon the App and Play store in equal measures. But fret not: here at We Got This Covered, we’ll streamline the assault down to a few necessary titles, starting with Thursday’s Dungeon Hearts which will be available on the iPad.

Granted, the game will also be available on Mac and PC, but with its nostalgic blend of 2D puzzles and RPG mechanics, Dungeon Hearts’ visual style feels very much at home on the small screen. Players will be tasked with connecting the oncoming shapes within a match-3 system, what’s more, the game will grant experience along the way allowing you to level up your favourite characters.

The developer, Cube Roots, is a small, independent studio that pride themselves on making minimal yet highly polished games – and Dungeon Hearts looks to fit into this legacy like a falling Tetris block. Featuring a catchy soundtrack and varied boss battles, Dungeon Hearts is the perfect mobile game to sink some time into on the go.

Concluding our bite-sized mobile section this week is the unveiling Pili Pili Rush from The Game Atelier on Friday. The platformer gravitates around Pili Pili, the titular hero who travels the world to collect eggs for his friendly fire bird, Minka. Classed as an action game that subtlety integrates puzzle features, Pili Pili Rush will host over 60 levels in a range of different environments – from Aztec ruins to remote islands.

With each new title comes added depth and value for money as mobile gaming grows into a formidable presence in the industry, and though Pili Pili Rush is a familiar mash-up of genres for the platform, it’s set to provide the depth that gives it the all important value-for-money attribute. Looking for handy entertainment for your commute? Then check it out!

No word on pricing for the above games but given the fast paced nature of the mobile gaming world, there’s always a free game or two hidden within the catacombs of the online stores. For now, though, Pili Pili Rush is our mobile game of the week!
