Top 5 iPhone Games of September 2015!

2015-10-03
the month of September has come and gone too it's once again time for my favorite iOS games of the month and to be perfectly honest I thought this was kind of a slow month for app games with the exception for one genre platforming platforming had a really damn good month evident by the fact that every single game on this month's list is a platformer although they do each approach the genre a little differently first off we've got stranded now this is an auto-runner where you can't control where you're moving just simply whether you are jumping or crouching but it's a lot more difficult than it sounds because the game is heavily momentum based if you let yourself run into anything or mess up a landing it's gonna slow you down a lot and you might have trouble reaching the next checkpoint which is a problem because you only have so much oxygen to get from one place or another as you play the game you do collect currency which can be use to upgrade some of your attributes and buy new suits but for the most part the real challenge of this game is just learning how to conserve your momentum and just keep the pace going second up we've got another Auto runner but this one works a bit differently and that's Astra now we're as stranded was a left to right kind of more traditional platformer Astra has you jumping from planet to planet think like a very simple version of mario galaxy where you have to double jump to escape the atmosphere and then just kind of have gravity screw with you while you find your way to another place to land each planet has its own little things going on enemies that you can jump on to kill enemies you can't kill that you've to run away from little platforming segments little puzzles you have to solve so on so forth this isn't the first platformer to tackle this particular genre but it's not one we've seen very often and I think this is one of the better ones to do it thus far third we're gonna keep the gravity theme going but go a little bit different idea with it with gravity duck Islands now this game was very clearly inspired by vvvv where the main platform mechanic is hitting a button to reverse gravity but you're having a little more control over what you do in this one basically one button will reverse gravity while another button does a different special feature based on the level you're on such as jumping or going into a float mode and the entire thing is just going level to level trying to avoid spikes enemies all kinds of things that can one-hit kill you and make your way to the exit it's not that difficult if you just want to beat each level and call it a day but beating each level under a certain time limit two three star of them all makes us probably one of the most difficult games on this list this one walks a really nice line between puzzle game and platformers so if you're a fan of either genre this one's definitely worth looking into number four isn't exactly a platformer it's something a little different but it does have platforming elements and that's cave or not where the whole game is focused on you trying to escape this series of caves underground now there are a lot of games that have done the genre before where you're just holding a button to go up and you're trying to avoid different obstacles but most of them in my experience have been much more fast-paced that are usually inspired by flappy bird and it's the kind of thing we were gonna die ten seconds into every game because you just made some small stupid mistake this isn't like those this is much slower paced which I really like because you can take your time with each level and all you really need to worry about our resources like not running out of fuel midway through I really like the more relaxed tone in this game and the fact that it still is actually pretty difficult to get high scores so you're not getting frustrated the fact that you're constantly dying but at the same time you're not just having a breeze getting a new high score every time you play that last on this month's list we're gonna go from a more relaxed game to a much more frantic one with Papago the huppah Coast controls are really simply you just have to tap the screen to jump from platform to platform or point in the hold somewhere on the screen if you want to jump in a particular direction the thing is everything is extremely fast-paced if you stand in any one area too long it's a game over and the levels always come in packages of five so if you die midway through say on level three or four you go all the way back to the first one thankfully all the games a little transition seems like beating a level or dying can be skipped so it keeps you in the action constantly and the whole thing is accompanied by this amazing chiptune soundtrack that keeps the energy level high throughout honestly I found this one to be the most difficult on this month's list but also the one I had the most fun with and probably the only one game on this month that I would say is an absolute must grab so those are my favorite app games of September 2015 all platformers and all really affordable there were a few other games this month that I was interested in but just didn't quite make the cut so if there's any games that you loved that weren't on this month's list make sure to let me know down in the
