Chris Buffa (Modojo): It would appear that NimbleBit has another iPhone and iPad success on its digital hands with Nimble Quest, a cute mobile effort that blends Snake with dungeon crawling. The concept involves building a small army of adventurers in the hope of killing monsters and hoarding loot, while at the same time avoiding walls and other hazards. It's free-to-play, smartly designed and addictive. It's also a big pain in the butt, which is why we have some Nimble Quest cheats and tips.

With the amount of things that can be upgraded and the characters to be unlocked with various stages, this game is a fun pick-up-and-play game with the game ending only when everything has been obtained.
When we look back at 2013 in years to come, it will surely be remembered as the year indie gaming on the iPad truly came of age. A year when the line between big console and PC titles, and iPad games, was hard to distinguish. Where the biggest names in game development left big publishers to form indie studios, and work on indie games that flooded the App Store with quality. Whether it was free or paid, a horror or a racer, funny or thoughtful, a game for guys or a game for girls, 2013 was never short of something awesome to play. Grab It Magazine has put together its best of 2013; have you played them all?
Pretty impressive year for indie gaming. You could go a whole year now without touching anything from a major publisher and still have a really awesome year of gaming.
