Fun game
Squidzit
This is a fun game with simple, beautiful graphics. The first few levels are very easy but it gets challenging quickly. Only problem I have is that using my finger to control the ship sometimes blocks elements on the screen that I then crash into. No adds and no in app purchases make this worth it to me.
Very well done

Its pretty. Its precise. It is as advertised. Ive only played through a handful of levels. You can repeat each level to gain more stars in it. I believe its time based, the faster you get through the lvl the better your ranking. Its a good game well worth a few bucks.
I give it a solid thumbs up!

Sheer Brilliance

Perfect example of a very inspired and well designed iOS game. Combined both quick reflexes and puzzles. The graphics are made up of simple lines, but they glow and reflect inward with depth and outward towards the player and is a stunning effect. The game teaches the player without the aid of any text. Everything is minimized to focus on engaging gameplay and nothing else. The music and sound and non repetitive and changes depending on the players actions, and its ambience fits perfectly with its glowy graphics. Throughout completing stages, the map slowly reveals itself and can be zoomed out to see its detailed beauty.. Something you'll wish you could print out and hang on your wall.
Challenging and Polished
Altered Confusion
Plenty of skill and strategy will be needed if you are going to make it through this game, Ellipsis. In this game you will have to navigate, using your finger on the touch-screen, a circle around the level avoiding enemies, traps, and other dangers. You will also be tasked with collecting at least four of the circle objects on the screen, but there is a catch... You see not only do you have to make contact with each of these spots on the screen, but you will have to have precision, otherwise you're not going to be able to collect all the dots inside the circles. The dots will tell you what your final score will be, and of course the object of any game is you're going to want to catch them all. That being said, if you are a true gamer you're going to want to do speed runs in already conquered levels so that you can unlock an additional star to add to your overall score. I had the chance to first find out about this game when I went to MomoCon, and the neon colors of the game, and the simplicity of the design drew me in. This is a very polished game, and it has one of the best features in my mind when it comes to games that are going to require you to constantly have your finger on the screen and that is instant pause if your finger leaves the screen. Holy crap, that feature alone is awesome. The levels are quick, there's infinite tries per level, and if you start really advancing through the game different paths open up that reconnect further down the line, so there's a chance that you can get through the game without having to take on every single level, but trust me when I say, you're going to want to beat every level. Personally the feeling of accomplishment when you finally defeat a level that has thwarted you is unreal. Alright so lets get a little bit more into the game. This of course is a game in which you are going to be guiding your circle, with the help of your finger, around the screen to specific points, each of these points has small bubbles/circles inside of them, if you just skim the point the bubbles/circles will be released into the level. You can choose not to pursue them, but you will docked at the end of the level. Each time you hit a point a new one appears, so you won't know where all of them are until you've played through the level at least once. As stated before there's always going to be an optional fifth point that will pop up at the same time that the portal shows up. To end the level you have to go through the portal, just make sure that you go between the edges of the portal and not right at the portal, I learned the hard way that you're going to bounce off of the edge and if you're being chased by something nasty, you're probably going to have to replay the level. There is one more thing I want to say about this game and that is the game map. As you play through the game you get a new area unlocked, and the developers could have just given you linear dots on the screen with a description, but not with this game. It basically feels like you're unlocking a futuristic arcade like world where the area dots form an ever growing constellation. So with that I think you can all tell that this game, in my opinion, is solid and definitely worth your time, especially at a very reasonable price. This game gets a 9.3 out of 10.
