Best iOS Games of June 2014! #Helpful Post

today's video was made possible by

Squarespace what's up Internet Kevin

here on tod that's right I'm still here

and today we're going to talk about app

games specifically my top five favorite

for this past month of June now this

particular list is a really eclectic mix

we've got some games that are super

casual and others that are quite a bit

more involved all covering a bunch of

different genres so let's check them out

right now

so as always this list is not organized

from 1st to 5th but what I am going to

talk about is talk about the more casual

games first going to the more in-depth

ones later and to begin with is a game

whose genre we've really never had on

this list before Lex Lex is a game whose

goal is about as simple as it gets spell

words Scrabble style but instead of

treating this as some kind of

competitive or simple word search game

Lex focuses on the idea of finding and

making words as fast as possible each

letter has an Associated point value

which not only represents how many

points they can contribute to your score

but also serves as a value for how

slowly the letters timer runs if any of

your letters have the timer's run out

then that's a game over so while making

words with high value points is good you

need to get through your low value ones

as fast as possible or else you risk an

easy game over you don't get much

simpler than this in game design but it

works coupled with pleasant visuals and

music Lex is a fantastic time killer if

you want a game you can play without any

form of long-term investment and it's

only a buck to pick up which if you're

the spelling type you'll end up easily

spending enough time on this game to

justify the cost next up is another game

that's really easy just to pick up and

play in quick bursts but of an entirely

different genre jellies jellies comes

from the ever popular touchscreen game

genre of linking things together to

score points in this case jellies that

float across the screen the trick here

though is that the best way to score is

to create whole circles of same colored

jellies and get bonus points for

everything trapped inside the game runs

on only a 60 second time limit though

every 100 points you score earns you an

additional three seconds the game also

offers numerous usable power ups and

even a time extension option and while

these can be purchased with real money

in game money can thankfully be used as

well and the pricing is fair so that you

never really feel the need to dip into

your actual bank account the game also

features unlockables as time goes on

things like new backgrounds and colors

rewarding you for repeated play and

there are a few achievements as well for

doing things like accomplishing so long

of a chain another title that isn't

super complex but it's a simple idea

done right with a solid aesthetic choice

to accompany it easily worth a dollar

ninety-nine now I pay the complexity bit

more this time is a new game from

Cartoon Network who has consistently

surprised me delightfully with a lot of

its mobile titles monsters ate my

birthday cake while childish and it's

art style and sense of humor monsters

ate my birthday

cake slowly develops into a surprisingly

fun puzzle game players take control of

our lead hero as well as a number of

monster friends he makes along the way

each of which have some kind of useful

ability like pushing and pulling objects

ways to stun monsters are ways to

navigate or create pathways in the games

puzzles players are rewarded not just by

solving each puzzle but by meeting other

side requirements as well and for doing

it all in good time and while never gets

to be super challenging trying to three

star the whole game provides enough fun

to keep players engrossed this is a

great puzzle game for kids but still a

bunch of fun even if you're older for

two dollars and ninety-nine cents it's a

great puzzle title to pick up okay now

the last two games on this month list

are both titles that have come out

previously on other platforms before but

it finally found their way to iOS would

have made great use of touch controls

the first which is the brutally

challenging vvvv be also known as spikes

coming from the new form of platforming

genre focused on high speed high

fatality rates and fast respawn rates

vvvvv throws players in a super simple

graphic style with an abundance of the

game's namesake spikes rather than

simply jumping players were able to

reverse gravity while they're standing

on a surface and they have to make use

of this ability along with a variety of

environmental objects to avoid obstacles

and of course spikes the game does

really force players down any one

obvious path after the opening bit in

each Illinois area features own

interesting set of special rules to test

players reflexes and understanding of

the mechanics simply beating the game is

a challenge in and of itself but if

you're the completionist type looking to

successfully grab all the games

collectibles depending on your mentality

when facing a challenger either looking

at a really great time or Hell itself

fast-paced easy to learn but difficult

to master vvvvv is a great platform for

those you thirsty for a challenge if

you've never tried it on PC now's your

chance at the more than fair price of

two dollars and ninety-nine cents now

last but not least is the most expensive

game on this month list coming in at a

price tag of nine dollars 99 cents one

of the first most successful

kick-started games and return to good

old-fashioned point-and-click adventures

broken age from Double Fine games if

there's any genre that needs to make a

big return that touch screen controls

are perfect for it's the point-and-click

adventure and broken age is a great

example of this visually gorgeous great

writing a balance of serious yet absurd

story elements

it's all delivered in a genre that fits

perfectly in a touch control interface

in which players simply need to select

dialogue options or search the

environment by poking objects or

dragging items to them if you grew up

with point-and-click classics like

Secret of Monkey Island then this game

is a must grab to see how the genre can

still live today and if you're

unfamiliar with point-and-click

adventures and this is a great way to

start off you won't regret paying a

little more than you normally would for

an apt title especially considering it's

still less than half the price it still

costs on PC well those are my top 5 iOS
