Vienna-based independent game studio Emoak has just released its unique light-based puzzler for iOS and Android. Founded in 2014 by Tobias Sturn, the company is also the creative force behind the infinite climbing game Paper Climb, as well as the sandbox game Machinaero on iOS.

In Lyxo, players will need to guide rays of light through dark environments in a simple but striking Bauhaus-inspired design. The minimalist aesthetics blend nicely with the goal of the game, which is to avoid obstacles, create new sources of light, and light up designated targets by mixing and matching different colors. With its stirring soundtrack, the game aims to build and heighten an emotional connection between infinite darkness and the light.

Competitive card game Crimson Company is out in early access on iOS and Android, while also launching a brand new Kickstarter campaign to support further development.

The game’s developer continues its aim to change-up the duelling card game genre by providing a mix of parity and intense gameplay, without requiring players to invest time or money to keep up with the latest meta. The iOS and Android apps are now officially in Early Access with no more progress resets to come! But there’s more - a new Kickstarter campaign has just started to fund a brand-new expansion and a cross-platform PC version.

Online marketing is a demanding mistress, especially when it comes to building brand presence using social media. Anyone that's attempted to build an online business will be more than familiar with the constant pressure to deliver regular and relevant content for their followers. Besides the challenge of creating the content itself, there's the continual issue of inconvenience to contend with; scheduling your social media posts to go out during peak times and having to post across multiple platforms within your social network.

There are currently a number of tools out there to help make the job a little easier; Buffer, Hootsuite, and Social Sprout are all great management platforms for integrating your social accounts together and scheduling your posts but, unfortunately, offer no help when it comes to actually creating your content. If you have the cash you can look into hiring social media experts to assist you, or you can go another way...

Webzen has rolled out another big update for its hit, MMORPG, MU Origin 2. Among the highlights players can look forward to are the addition of new equipment, Elemental monsters, and new ways of obtaining Elemental Stigmas.

First off, one of the most exciting new features is the introduction of Runes - a brand new equipment type that boosts your combat powers by increasing your attack and defence abilities. Runes come in two different types, one for each ability, and are available for players that are level 280 or higher. You can obtain Runes by using the Item Draw system or vanquishing foes encountered in Abyss.

It's a festive time of year so even the farmer in Pumpkinbutt's Halloween Dream deserves a break from the nightmare he's perpetually trapped in right? Skyflyer Studio appears to agree since they've updated the game with forty new Christmassy levels.

However, even the naturally cheerful holidays can be a little terrifying it seems with this new batch of stages being called The Christmas Caverns, which hardly sounds like a relaxing time sitting around a cosy fireplace.

We’re living in the age of the smartphone, and having a portable, camera-equipped computer in your pocket 24/7 is brilliant – at least in theory. You can connect with the whole world, wherever you are; take and share photographs on the fly; instantly find answers to any question that pops into your head; and entertain yourself during life’s duller moments.

But social media platforms, mobile games and streaming services are designed to be as distracting as possible. That’s how most of them make money. The more time you sink into browsing and tapping their content, the better – for them. For us, the temptation to spend more time on our phones than on real-life connections and responsibilities is increasingly tough to resist. Various studies suggest this unhealthy relationship with our phones may play a part in rising levels of anxiety and depression – especially among the younger generation. So, how do we rebalance our usage?

Lo-Fi Room, the upcoming rhythm action and object hunting game, is currently on the hunt for playtesters to play and provide feedback. The developer plans to send out codes for lucky players to get involved before the end of December.

So if you'd like to give the game a try ahead of its release for iOS and Android next year, head on over to the Google Form and register your interest by entering your email address. If you're selected you'll be asked to give your thoughts on the game through a feedback form.

Music and art collide in Vectronom, a rhythm-based 3D platformer that may have missed your radar if you were too busy soaking up the sun during its initial release last year.

While the game doesn’t blatantly tell you to stay indoors, it does encourage you to bop to the beat in the comfort of your own home by immersing you in a puzzle platformer in isometric view. Your goal is to get from Point A to Point B by navigating obstacles that change in sync with the beat, so you’ll be forced to observe from a distance, memorize how the patterns shift, and then take the plunge. You’ll need to have the chops to solve environment-specific riddles that often require you to time your movements to the rhythm of the music.

When Canada legalised cannabis in 2018, tons of entrepreneurs leapt at the chance to enter this newly legitimised industry – from boutique, backroom growers to factory-sized franchises. Not to forget all the ancillary businesses popping up to make the magic happen, including packaging companies, marketers, couriers and so on. The market for legal cannabis in Canada was valued at CAD$1 billion in 2019, and is projected to climb beyond the CAD$4-billion mark in 2021.

All good news for pot lovers, then. But in this complex, emerging marketplace, knowing where to find just what you want can prove tricky. That goes for both ends of the supply chain, whether you’re buying, selling, or both. Enter stage right: Leafythings.

Now available for free on iOS and Android, Leafythings is an app that seeks to be your one-stop shop for all things pot in Canada. Enjoy up-to-date information about anything and everything cannabis-related.

It features starred reviews for products, delivery services, doctors, dispensaries and more (so no more pot-luck). It connects medicinal and recreational users with verified, licensed providers. It even explains – in plain English – Canada’s cannabis laws, including how to go about getting licensed as a grower or seller.

On the latter point: if you’re a retailer, you can easily use the platform to market your products or services directly to the rest of us, without the eye-watering sums or hugely competitive auctions found on many directories.

But it’s more than just a marketplace app – it’s an educational tool. There are compendious details on every strain under the heat lamp; beginner tips and tricks, whether you’re wondering how to keep weed fresh or how to smoke regularly without burning through your money; and recommendations for the best products for what ails you. First-time rollers and veteran Cheech and Chongs alike are sure to learn something new.

The app is a natural extension of the Leafythings website, which was established in 2019 as an online directory empowering and connecting Canada’s cannabis users and businesses. As the country’s cannabis offerings grow ever greater – like some sort of supersized sativa – it’s good to have a comprehensive resource right at your fingertips, helping you to see the weed for the trees.

Leafythings app is available to download for the Canadian market for free from Google Play or the App Store now.

Following its successful debut on PC and Nintendo Switch last summer, retro-themed platformer Pixboy has made the lead to mobile devices.

The award-winning indie hit, which was developed by a two-person team at Oaky Games, has drawn comparisons to classic platformers such as Super Mario Bros, Commander Keen and Shovel Knight. Its visuals are monochromatic, reminiscent of the Game Boy and old MS-DOS titles, and a chiptune soundtrack compliments this design.

Raziel: Dungeon Arena's October update offers a little bit more than usual Halloween-themed outfits you often get this time of year, though those are here too. But beyond that, there is a new character, mercenary system and much more.

In need of some assistance in battle? Then you'll probably be a big fan of the new mercenary system. This will allow you to recruit a loyal companion who will join you on the battlefield, bringing their own unique abilities with them. They can also be equipped with your choice of weapons and armour to add more strategic depth.

Some of the greatest mobile games are actually the simplest ones, and it’s this philosophy that Mulled 2 was built on. Out now for iOS and Android, the puzzle sequel takes the accessible mechanics of its predecessor and builds on them with enticing community features and more.

IKIN's popular endless runner Presidents Run has returned to iOS and Android just in time for the 2020 election season. It will see players choosing their favourite candidate and guiding them on a literal run for presidency to gather as many votes as they can.

These votes will also be tracked globally too, so players will be able to see who the current frontrunner is through a novel spin on the usual leaderboard system. The statistics can be found in-game and on its official website with daily, weekly and all-time filters.

MU Origin 2 developer Webzen continues to churn out new content for the popular MMORPG and, true to form, it’s just released another update. This one encourages lapsed players to return to the game with the promise of new quests and rewards.

The update kicks off a special event which runs between 12th October and 8th November, and during this period, users who’ve left the game for more than seven days can make a comeback to take part in the Warrior Return Quest.

Raziel: Dungeon Arena is available now on mobile and will appeal to fans of both comic books and old school dungeon crawlers. Not only will you hack 'n' slash your way through mobs of enemies but there's also fully-narrated animated comic to enjoy, too.

The plot is just as much of a focus as slaying the undead. The developer Indrasoft took the time to ensure Raziel: Dungeon Arena has engaging narration and realistic voice acting to immerse players in the singleplayer campaign, which takes place over 10 chapters and 60 levels.
