today's video has made possible by Squarespace what's up Internet Kevin here on TLD we're finally getting back to nap game reviews including a top 5 iOS games of the month and is exactly what today's video is about we're gonna talk about my favorite game has come out this february2014 so let's jump right in the first game I want to talk about is by far the one I spent the most time on and easily the most addictive game on this list threes this is a great example of a game that's very easy to pick up and play and learn but gets really complex and hard once you try to get high scores all you have to do is ship the board around and combine numbers that are the same with the exceptions of one and twos which you use to make threes you just keep doing this until the board is too full to move it's a lot harder than it seems at first glance and it's a star example of a game where every time you lose you just think to yourself one more game one more game I can finally beat my high score easily worth it's appropriate three dollar price tag next up we have another puzzle based game another case solved now this is a free-to-play game does feature in-app purchases which are mainly pushed as a way to try and make the game easier for you but personally I found it a lot more enjoyable to just keep it free and tackle all of his challenges head-on it's a fun mixture of multiple minigame types the majority of the game is played out like a simple matching game but on major cases you'll also make use of items you match often to use as clues to help make other games easier like narrowing down a location or finding items hidden in the house with a time limit the game's difficulty spikes here and there and get pretty remorseless at times for those you not willing to pay extra for in-game cash or gems but it makes succeeding all the sweeter once you do now another game on this list that does feature in-app purchases but does a good job of keeping the nice and balanced is adventure time card wars it bothers me a little bit that this is a pay for game that still has in-app purchases and some recharge time mechanics but progressing through the main campaign refills your time and even then it's never that long of a wait it's really just a way to keep you from grinding lower levels to get more cards there's a large variety of cards to use for deck building there's some fun mechanics like a card crafting shop hero abilities and a special timing mechanic which gives the player an advantage giving them the chance to crit an enemy or counter-attack all in all it's a very fun and simple collectible card game that has easily ignore belen app purchases fourth on the list is visually the most interesting game of the group tengami a side-scrolling adventure game that has a lot in common with point-and-click adventures what's neat about this is that the entire world it takes place in is in the form of a giant pop-up book with environments that can change with foldable pieces the first level is an all honesty kind of boring but as you get farther the puzzle start to get more interesting and include a lot more tests of awareness and solving skills visually it's my favorite game this month and the music accompanying it accents it perfectly it's a little pricey considering how short it is weighing in at four ninety-nine but if you catch it on sale or if just a big fan of games of the heavy artistic aesthetic it's well worth it now last on the list is cold fire keep a game that I initially had some problems with when i first installed it but a recent patch fixed a lot of those problems and just made the entire experience a lot more enjoyable this is an app game approach to the old school done in crawler giving players a classic game design with touch controls and simplified mechanics it still needs a bit of patching and fine-tuning here and there but the groundwork is solid build your party of four customize their stats then get thrown right away into a dungeon featuring both a shop and in for resting between delves mechanics are easy to pick up and it's a great portable solution for those wanting a more traditional dungeon focused RPG
