Top 5 iOS Games of the Month! #Helpful Post

oday's video is made possible by

Squarespace what's up Internet Kevin

here on Tod well it's the end of the

month again you know what that means

it's time for my top 5 iOS games this

time for May 2014 now this month's list

has got a lot of platformers with just a

hint of RPG a couple of which just hit

you right in the retro fields so let's

check them out

first one I want to get out of the way

right away is actually a game that's

been around this is 2012 and it's found

its way on a lot of different platforms

but didn't make over to iOS until just

this past month and that's Thomas was

alone Thomas was alone is a puzzle

platformer with a simple aesthetic and

goal guide a number of different shapes

each with their own personality to an

exit having them use each other as

platforms or taking advantage of a

specific one size or abilities to reach

switches that the others can't there's

also a surprising amount of storytelling

going on in this game more than you'd

expect when just looking at the gameplay

and there's a lot of game time going

into it too it's a tad pricier than most

iOS games at $8.99 but it's not all that

surprising considering it is a port and

in all honesty it's completely worth the

expense next up is a game that draws

heavy influence from a big-time

old-school retro classic dug dug dug dug

goal is simple dig as deep as you can

and find as many treasures as you can in

order to get the highest score possible

things aren't nearly as easy as you

think though the integrity of different

kinds of blocks is important to consider

and accidental cave-ins are a plenty

that can smash dug either because you

had bad timing or you just got greedy

going for a treasure too far out of safe

reach

there's also enemies to avoid and

special one-time use items to find which

can do things like reduce falling damage

or speed up digging speed there really

isn't a whole lot else to the game but

this is one of those great examples of a

simple mechanic that can get really

addictive for those you obsessed with

high scores and it's really easy to make

the dollar ninety-nine price tag worth

it

now I'm gonna surprise even myself with

this third pick uncanny x-men Days of

Future past that's right a game that

mainly exists to cash in on a recent

movie release the thing is it's actually

a pretty solid fun old-school style

arcade game the first couple levels are

honestly pretty bad but it gets a lot

better with time eventually giving you

five different x-men characters to play

as each with their own set of unique

special moves with three more playable

characters on the way in future updates

the game's difficulty level never really

spikes that high but getting a

three-star score on all the levels can

actually be pretty difficult and not

only can you take time leveling up each

character to unlock all of their

abilities but there's even a few

collectibles like classic comic book

covers and character bios it's a simple

arcade experience that's more engrossing

than you'd first think with zero in-app

purchases and a

fair price of $2.99 it's worth checking

out fourth up we've got another puzzle

platformer which is probably my favorite

one in terms of visuals on this list

Kiwanuka Kiwanuka has you control a

large group of people guiding them with

a leader wielding a staff where things

get interesting though isn't the ability

to create a tower of people and swing it

around to create a ladder or bridge to

reach farther destinations it starts off

pretty light and easy to figure out but

it doesn't take long before levels start

to throw curve balls at you introducing

new forms of obstacles or forcing you to

set up bridges and ways that you hadn't

thought possible before not only is it

challenging but it doesn't hurt the game

also has a great simplistic art

direction and an enjoyable soundtrack

accompanying it at only a dollar

ninety-nine this game is a must try now

last on the list is a game that just

came out this past Thursday and is

actually a pseudo sequel toward my

favorite really basic old app games

battleheart legacy the original battle

heart had you controlling a team of

adventures in real-time battles timing

when to use different abilities and

positioning them to gain an advantage

legacy on the other hand gives you

control of just a single unit though the

combat system is very similar players

can grow their character by learning

moves from the different classes of the

original game as well as some new ones

allowing you to craft your character

just the way you like the art direction

is a bit strange in it taking the first

game style and just making it 3d but the

gameplay is such a simple RPG charm it's

hard not to get addicted right when you

first pick it up players actually have

some surprisingly interesting choices

handed them at times and there's a lot

of little different side content to

discover like unlocking new classes to

learn the abilities of it's a bit odd to

look at but once you start playing

you'll find yourself loving it

so if you're like me you'll probably

starting three or four times debating

what classes to focus on right away at

$4.99 this is a great simple yet

addictive RPG to pick up so those are my
