Chris Buffa (Modojo): Here we are, the best iOS games of the year. We started with a list of 200, whittled that down to about 100, then the gloves came off, as we fought to include certain titles and said painful goodbyes to others. The result is a snapshot of 2012, the 50 iPhone and iPad games that stood out the most. That said, join us each day as we make the countdown. On that note, it's time for games 30-21.
Boston area game dev studios Popcannibal, Ape Law, Owlchemy Labs, Dejobaan Games, Firehose Games, Snowrunner Productions, Kyle Seeley, Chris Chung, Terrible Posture Games, Subaltern Games, Retro Affect, and Harmoinix have teamed up to create an amazing bundle of games
DTOID:
Girls like robots. It's the name of the game, and it's the first piece of information given. Most of the time spent is in laying out seating arrangements of emotional square people in an attempt to maximize happiness.
Girls like robots. Robots like girls. Nerds like girls, but girls don't like nerds (sigh). Everybody likes pie; nobody likes being set on fire. I like the premise, but it ends up being a bit dull to play.
Girls Like Robots constantly delights with its endless variety, upbeat music and cute characters. By changing up its play styles, grids and victory conditions, you never know what the next level will bring. Instead of just providing players with a single, fun puzzle mechanic and messing with it a bit, the game reinvents itself with every stage.
