Nerdluster: So after a week of receiving largely pointless emails from a puzzle that never yielded much more than a few images, a funny phone-based mail service, and a music file I had found what Byrdr was. Was I disappointed in the journey? Yes, I'll admit that I expected more from the ARG adventure than a half formed backstory for the Billy and Eagler characters. Fortunately the result was that I found a fun iOS game that I now want to share with my friends and family.
Did I need the Byrdr ruse to get me interested in the game? No, in fact it sort of detracts from Ridiculous Fishing's ultimate mystery. Maybe now that I'm playing the game I can unlock more of the Byrder puzzle but at the moment it seems pretty much locked down. If there is something more to this whole interaction between the fans and Vlambeer's new game then you'll soon see me very impressed but if this was the full extent I'd say it was a waste of time and effort.
Tumbleseed is an upcoming puzzle adventure game set to roll its way onto your screens in early 2017 from the makers of Threes and Ridiculous Fishing. This week the developers have released the first teaser trailer for the game.
With tech companies dropping the Android OS onto anything that will hold a charge and heavy hitters like NVIDIA building dedicated gaming devices for it, the once red-headed stepchild of the mobile industry has flourished over the last few years, and Android gaming has gone along for the ride. The platform has in fact become a gold mine for some. Roll into this mix Android’s low threshold point of entry and a Wild West open market and you have a unique platform that to date has seen over 31 trillion downloads, about two trillion more than its only real competitor: Apple.
After years of neglecting the platform, JBH comes face to face with the modern world and highlights three fantastic iOS games.
