Why us

Battery and size

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

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.

Big Bass Splash
Adventure

A short story game about a night shift in a small town. Two evenings long.

★★★★★ 4.5
Garden Floor
Casual

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

★★★★☆ 3.5
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
Paper Routes
Strategy

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

★★★★☆ 4.0
Card Club
Cards

Classic card games with a decent offline opponent and no forced online play.

★★★★☆ 4.0

Editor’s pick

Garden Floor
Casual

Garden Floor

★★★★☆ 3.5

Garden Floor asks you to visit twice a day and do very little each time. If that suits your week, it is pleasant company for a month.

  • Two short visits a day
  • Pretty, unhurried art
  • Timers can be skipped for money
  • Small download

Questions & answers

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.

Can I republish your reviews?

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

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.

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.
