Chris Buffa (Modojo): Ah the holidays. Presents, decorations and boring visits with relatives. Seriously, how much cheek pinching can one human endure? If you're in desperate need of a break, Adult Swim not only feels your pain, but also has a solution. It's the Free App of the Week, where the publisher will make a handful of games available for zero dollars.
Not an endless runner, but an endless tunneler, that has visual appeal plus addictive gameplay coupled with fair prices for upgrades.
TheAppera: As we say with every Adult Swim game at this point: presentation is top notch. It’s not that the game is graphically stunning, it’s just that it’s well polished. As you play, you’ll have a clear eye on the “road” that you’re supposed to be following, as you guide the mole to his sweet escape.
TouchArcade: Super Mole Escape [$0.99] just nails every aspect of what a casual mobile game should be, in that it's fun to play with much to unlock while you play it. It also helps that it has a little extra something that's often forgotten in these types of games: multiplayer.
In Super Mole Escape, you play as one of many mole convicts that are out to steal gems hidden deep underground. You have to tilt the device to control your mole further and further down, collecting these gems and bolstering through obstacles as you go, making it more and more challenging to continue on.
