Why us

Offline first

Every review says plainly whether the game works on a plane or a train without signal.

We finish what we start

A review only goes up after at least a week with the game, not after ten minutes of the tutorial.

Ads and purchases, measured

We count how often ads interrupt play and what the paid version actually removes.

Battery and size

How much space it takes and how quickly it drains a phone — both are in the review.

Big Bass Splash
Racing

An arcade racer with tight controls and no energy bar between races.

★★★★☆ 4.0
Paper Routes
Strategy

Draw delivery lines across a growing town. Quiet, clever and unforgiving later on.

★★★★☆ 4.0
Garden Floor
Casual

A slow gardening game with real waiting. Fine in short visits, tedious in long ones.

★★★★☆ 3.5
Ember Realms
RPG

A pocket role-playing game with a real story and turn-based fights you can pause.

★★★★☆ 4.4
Stone Lines
Puzzle

A minimal line puzzle with a thousand levels and very little else.

★★★★☆ 3.5
Tile Harbour
Puzzle

A calm match puzzle with a harbour to rebuild between levels.

★★★★★ 4.5

Editor’s pick

Paper Routes
Strategy

Paper Routes

★★★★☆ 4.0

Paper Routes gives you a town and a pencil: draw the lines, watch the vans, fix the jams. It looks like a children’s book and plays like a logistics puzzle.

Questions & answers

Do you accept payment for reviews?

No. We buy every game and every in-app purchase we write about, and we do not run sponsored posts.

Can I republish your reviews?

A short quote with a link is fine. For anything longer, write to us first.

Why are there no scores out of ten?

A number without an explanation tells you nothing. We give a short verdict instead, and say who the game is for.

How do you choose what to review?

Readers suggest most of them by email. The rest come from what we see people playing around us.
