Grandma was right.

Nobody really believed her. Not even you, her favorite grandchild.

But she was right. And more so than you could ever imagine.

The city before you, deep in the mist shrouded forest, can't be found on any map. It shouldn't even exist. Though it's been asleep for a long time, you feel a mysterious power begin to awaken from the ruins around you.

Legend has it the civilization that built this place could somehow control the seasons. But nobody listens to legends.

Nobody except Grandma.

And she was right.

You look again at the artifact she gave you. Close to this lost city, it almost seems alive in your hand.

The city does exist. It's real.

Could the secret magic, powerful enough to change the seasons, be real too?

Ragdoll Blaster 3, the latest and greatest sequel to the mega-hit Ragdoll Blaster game franchise, is serious fun. You'll make your way through hundreds of increasingly challenging levels by launching ragdolls into the air at precisely the right angle and velocity to hit the squishy, red bulls-eye targets.

This third edition includes tons of awesome, new features. You get:

✔ 100+ levels and 5 new worlds to explore
✔ 5 distinct ragdoll types with unique abilities
✔ Gorgeous 3D visuals and awesome sound effects
✔ Instant replays to review & share your past shots
✔ Funny, custom tailored suits for your ragdolls
✔ Game Center leader boards & sharable scores

Fans of Ragdoll Blaster 1 and 2 will remember these heroic, limber fellas.

✮ Ice Ragdolls ✮
These slippery, chill little guys can slide along icy cold surfaces.

✮ Fire Ragdolls ✮
This fiery breed of ragdoll can burn through flammable obstacles.

✮ Pudge Ragdolls ✮

✮ Robot Ragdolls ✮
The Robot Ragdolls are mechanically-inclined, magnetic metal heads.

You and your ragdoll pals will conquer the endlessly fun worlds of Ragdolia including Patchwork Meadows, the Crystal Caves, Candy Mountain, Magma Basin, and the Lunar Outpost. Refine your skills on each level by watching "instant replays" or share your accomplishments by emailing the clips to friends. There's even an in-app store where you'll find custom tailored suits to outfit your ragdolls in style.

Hatchi - Portable Pixels

2012-02-10T22:27:06-07:00

Hatchi
Portable Pixels
Genre: Games
Price: $0.99
Release Date: 12 January 2012

***As featured on Touch Arcade, Gizmodo and many more***

Hatchi is a retro virtual pet. He needs YOU!

You'll need to feed, clean, play with and generally look after your pet to ensure it grows up!

It has several different forms it can evolve into depending on how you look after it.

Hatchi is a retro-looking iPhone app sure to get the nostalgia burning for all those who cared for a virtual pet back in the 1990s when they were at the height of their popularity. Just as with the keychain-sized pets of the 90s, iPhone users now will feed, clean, play with and generally look after their pets to ensure they grow up to be healthy, happy little Hatchis.

The Hatchi monster will go through several stages of growth, and will develop differently depending on the quality of care the player provides. A successfully raised Hatchi monster will be smarter, happier, and require less attention.

Touch Arcade reviewer Brad Nicholson remarked, “It's hilarious, but I really, really, really don't want Big Poppa Pump (his Hatchi monster) to bite the dust. I've somehow bonded with the thing, as silly as that sounds, and the competitive part of my brain wants to see an evolution based on my meticulous play.”
