Shapes & Sound:TheShapeShooter
Android Police coverage: [New Game] Shapes & Sound Brings Style And Surprising Depth To Asteroids-Type Shooters
Don't let the simple graphics fool you: this is no zen game. Shapes & Sound takes the old Asteroids concept and adds the ability to absorb similar enemies, then shift your form to absorb more. It's a concept similar to the beloved shooter Ikaruga, albeit in a more toned-down form. The funky music and appealing visuals don't hurt, either.
--
Shapes & Sound: The Shape Shooter is a 2D mobile game all about putting your hand-eye coordination, mental reflexes and periphery vision to the ultimate test. It is, at its core, an Ode to "old school-arcade box in old Mr. Joe's shop down the street-gaming; Think Rock-Paper-Scissors meets Asteroids. The game's minimalistic design and soothing sounds makes it both highly relaxing and highly addicting.You have been warned.

Android Police coverage: [New Game] Rebellion's 'Guns 4 Hire' Brings The Pain... And Guns, Tanks, And Bombs, Too
Ever felt like living out your mercenary fantasies in an over-the-top, testosterone-fueled shooter? Sure you have - that's what 60% of the console market is built on. The latest gung-ho military shooter for Android takes the top-down approach, but mixes it with surprisingly good graphics and (sigh) a free-to-play remuneration model.

Epic Citadel
Android Police coverage: Epic Games Brings 'Epic Citadel' To Android, Could Signify Future Epic Releases
Epic Citadel is not a game. It's a technical demo, developed by Epic Games (the guys behind the Infinity Blade iOS series) to show off the Unreal 3 engine running on mobile platforms. It also represents a pretty decent hope that the formerly iOS-exclusive developer will make it to Android sometime in the future. The demo itself is interesting, but only really good for showing off the capabilities of your cutting-edge hardware.
--
Enter Epic Citadel, the dynamic fantasy setting of the award-winning Infinity Blade. From the circus bazaar to the sweeping cathedral in the center of town, Epic Citadel dazzles with a visual parade of special effects, as only imagined by Epic Games and powered by the critically acclaimed Unreal Engine 3. Are you ready to explore the realm of the Epic Citadel and all the beautiful secrets it holds? Epic Citadel was created using the same tools and technology used to develop high-end console games, now delivered for Android devices.

After Homer destroys the town by playing free IAP games on the job, it's your job to reassemble it and find the beloved Simpsons characters (voiced by their genuine voice actors!). Unfortunately, EA hasn't released the game in North America, and would-be players seem to be having trouble downloading the game everywhere else, too.

Catch The Candy
Good God, this thing is so cute it makes me sick. Catch the Candy is Herocraft's latest game, assigning you to guide a little purple... thing through physics-based stages towards sweet, sweet candy. The swinging and grabbing mechanic is similar to the various Spider-man clones you've seen hanging around the Play Store, with much better level design.
--
We all love candy right? So does this cute little creature, but it's always tantalisingly out of reach for him. You'll need to use his extendible grappling tail to catch the candy, but it's not always as easy as it looks. Push and pull obstacles, balance on unsteady logs, climb flag poles and grip onto almost anything to work your way across the level and grab that candy.

Zombie Road Trip
And the string of game roundups featuring zombies continues. This one's an interesting take on the endless runner genre, which forces you to pull off stunts in your rickety Apocalypse-mobile in order to outrun the zombie hoard. You'll need to use weapons to take out zombies in front, with frequent runs through safe zones to catch your breath. Zombie Road Trip is free, but depressingly heavy on the in-app purchases. You won't be able to do much at all without spending real money.
--
In Zombie Road Trip the rules are simple - escape the zombie horde or have your brain eaten. Are you up for the challenge? From the creators of the Tiki Totems saga comes a game that blends the boundaries of runner and racer trick games. Race against the unrelenting Zombie Horde across the great wastelands in the never-ending game of survival. Shoot the zombies ahead with your impressive arsenal of weapons and witness true ragdoll-packed gore galore. Earn zombie coins to upgrade your ride and weapons to lay waste to the undead and show them just how much you hate them.

Jail Run Puzzle
Nope, this one isn't another endless runner, it's a Western-themed puzzle game... that just happens to feature a main character who likes to run a lot. Your objective is to make it through the levels under the time limit while grabbing as much loot as possible. I'll be honest, the IAP in this game is a bit of a rip - you've got a limited amount of steps you can take in the "free" version. $2.99 gets you an unlimited amount, and that really should be the actual price of the game.
--
You’re kept captive in a remote dungeon where you learn about a secret treasure and a possible way out. You head off to find your way out of the labyrinth – but on the way grab as much loot as you can. Combining colourful design with intuitive controls, Jail Run is an action-puzzle game you won’t want to escape. Each of the 63 levels introduces new threats, as you follow the route out. Grab stars, avoid the traps, detonate bombs, and avoid getting recaptured.

Ball of Woe is your basic marble game... with a big dollop of weird.
