Crescent Moon Games has recently announced that it's been working with Galoobeth Games for the past year or so on a new Aralon title. Specifically Aralon: Forge and Flame.

The new game is set 100 years after the first Aralon, and centers around the discovery of an entirely new continent. As well as the expected amount of danger and intrigue, of course. Players will be able to explore three totally separate continents this time around, and will be able to enjoy some pretty major visual improvements - especially the lighting.

There's no concrete release date for Aralon: Forge and Flame just yet, but it's expected to release sometime later this year.

Crescent Moon Games - the masterminds behind Monkey Boxing, Pocket RPG, Ravensword: Shadowlands, and more - are ready to add another notch to their collective belt next month when they release Clash of Puppets.

Clash of Puppets is a hack-n-slash action game filled with upgradable weapons, three different worlds to fight through, an endless survival mode, leaderboards, and iOS controller support. Check out the video below, then start anxiously waiting for December to roll around.

Ravensword: Shadowlands is prepping for Halloween as it's set to receive a new update that brings forth a brand-new area. 'Realm of the Ancients' will hold new enemies and a big bad werewolf boss. There is also a new magical rune known as the Rune of Shadow. So get ready to start exploring this Halloween when the update release. By the way, it also includes iOS7 support. Come on, Thursday! Get here!

Crescent Moon Games has revealed its latest title, Mines of Mars, which takes you through the depths of the red planet with a pickaxe in hand, mentions Pocket Gamer. With influences like Metroid, Motherlode, and Terraria, you will discover many dark secrets while exploring tunnels in this sci-fi story-based adventure. There are a number of unique weapons and different items to use, helping make sure you safely stumble your way through the game. There is even co-op for you and a friend to go digging together.

There is no current release date for the game, but make sure you check out the new trailer below!

The new Topia World Builder update focuses on the editing tools and the ability to save in a much simpler way. The save system has been completely rewritten giving players an easier handle on save files without having to sift through a confusing timeline. Players also have the ability to plant trees and enjoy visual enhancements to the water.

You can now paint down paths and patterns in 'dirt' and the grass, as it grows, will not cover them.
Importing levels from graphic files: More info on this coming later...
Preset worlds: Players can start from a selection of preset worlds, 7 in the current version.
Scale/Offset/Smooth tools, used to make world scale changes to the level.
Advanced tools: Some silly effects to tweak your world
Life editing in edit mode: Wipe out all trees and creatures, plant random trees.

If the title Monkey Boxing sounds like a good time, then it's probably worth hitting that "Buy App" button above right now, because this game is exactly what it says on the tin. It's boxing with monkeys. How can than not be fun?

Well, thankfully it is quite fun. It's easy to get into, with a button for punching, and a button for blocking. The game focuses on same-device multiplayer, with four rounds to try and knock out the other monkey in the ring. Quick-time events like tapping icons for powerful round-ending punches and health, along with rapid spinning sections, add to the fun chaos. A match only takes a couple minutes, and there's plenty of gloating to be had for the victor. Then it's on to the next fight!

While the game is multiplayer-focused, there's also a singleplayer mode that's built around making one's monkey stronger, and unlocking new disguises all the way throughout. After all, what's the fun of monkeys punching each other if it isn't stylish as all get out? A monkey with a giant green afro is my kind of monkey!

Now, the only sin that Monkey Boxing commits is to be far too simplistic for real long-term play, what with only one punch button and one block button, there's not much more strategizing than to wail on the punch button when necessary, block when the opponent is attacking, and try to time a counter-attack. This is really about grabbing a friend, and punching the bananas out of each other for a few minutes while on the iPad. It's playable in two-player mode on iPhone as well, but it's rather cramped. Also, the spinning sections? I'm terrible at them. Thus I presume that they're broken and need fixing! No one beats me and my monkey!

While it's all a rather basic experience, Monkey Boxing lives up to its premise. Perhaps if a million monkeys were put into a room, they'd form a championship boxing league instead of writing Macbeth. Awesome.

Wraithborne is now available for free, allowing you to claim the power of the Runes and protect humanity's existence in this action-rpg title.
