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.

Ads and purchases, measured

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

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.

Big Bass Splash
Casual

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

★★★★☆ 3.5
Tile Harbour
Puzzle

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

★★★★★ 4.5
Night Bakery
Simulation

Run a small bakery through one night. Short shifts, warm art, no energy bar.

★★★★☆ 4.0
Signal Lost
Puzzle

Rebuild broken radio circuits. Hard from the start and honest about it.

★★★★★ 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

Tile Harbour
Puzzle

Tile Harbour

★★★★★ 4.5

Tile Harbour is the rare match puzzle that does not push you towards a purchase every second screen. Levels are short, the difficulty curve is gentle for the first fifty stages and then turns properly demanding.

  • Works fully offline
  • No timers between levels
  • One-off purchase removes ads
  • About 180 MB installed

Questions & answers

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.

Do you review paid games?

Yes, and we prefer them. A game you pay for once usually treats your attention better than a free one.

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.
