Joe Danger Infinity Gets New "Daily Challenge" Mode in Latest Update

Posted by Stephen Hall on March 27th, 2014

Many games have been receiving "daily challenge" modes lately, and Joe Danger Infinity just couldn't help but join the party. The game is similar to the many motocross sidescrollers we've seen on the App Store for years, but takes the concept to completely new heights. In the game's first major update, version 1.1, players can participate in daily challenges to earn big coin prizes.

Building off a game mode added to Joe Danger Touch, the levels in the new update are very challenging with traps and obstacles that the player must avoid, and challenge the player with multiple routes to choose from. To get the best score, you'll need to land some awesome tricks on top of simply making it through these awesome new levels.

You can get Joe Danger Infinity on the App Store for $0.99.

New Year - New Apps!


It's a new year and, as always, an exciting one for all of us here at 148Apps. Take a look at what we've reviewed this week, and find even more in our Reviews Archive.

Sensei Wars

Continuing the Clash of Clans style motif that has worked well for so many other titles of this ilk, Sensei Wars isn’t exactly a particularly original title but it is one that comes with an original element – namely the ability to control a samurai in combat. As is commonly the way, players take time to build up a village; developing it to be independent and strong, while also cultivating a fearsome fighting force to fend off opposition. Things are well balanced here with resources gained from mines and farms, with such gains leading to the option to build new institutions and train up an army of warriors. Timers litter such progress so expect to be waiting around from time to time in order to reap any significant gains. --Jennifer Allen


Joe Danger Infinity

The joy that can be had by playing Joe Danger is a tricky one to quantify. Anyone who’s played it on a console or PC can confidently say that it’s terrific fun, though. It was the kind of terrific fun that didn’t entirely translate when first coming to iOS in the form of Joe Danger Touch, thanks to touch controls that didn’t quite work as well as expected. That’s all gone when it comes to Hello Games’s latest release, Joe Danger Infinity, with everything feeling that bit sharper and better. --Jennifer Allen


Fun Town for Kids

Fun Town for Kids is an interactive app for young children with a city theme where one can scroll back and forth through a charmingly stylized urban landscape; exploring fourteen mini-games found in store fronts and other areas that line this busy street. The different brightly colored shops in Fun Town allow one to sort coins into like piles in a bank or help out in the candy store as a customer will choose, with the aid of an illustrated speech bubble, specific candy while also including fun photos of real candy such as candy canes and gummy candies – details that children will have fun with. --Amy Solomon


Speaktoit Assistant

Siri has been the integrated iOS go-to virtual assistant for some time now, but despite it becoming the most talked-about client it still tends to have some – albeit slight – depersonalization issues. Speaktoit promises to rectify this by offering users a fully interactive experience by using natural technology language to answer questions, search for information, follow basic commands, and connect the user with a whole network of various web services including Facebook, Twitter, FourSquare, and more. --Lucy Ingram


Detective Grimoire

If there is any game genre that really hooks me it’s a great detective game. From Phoenix Wright to modern greats like LA Noire, there’s just something exciting about becoming invested in a thought-provoking mystery. The best element of these light-hearted episodic detective adventures is the host of interesting characters that one will happen on along the journey, and Detective Grimoire is a great example of this. --Lucy Ingram


Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project

Nothing beats loading a game and hearing the age-old drawling quips of a protagonist I have come to know and love over the years. It has been a while since I’ve played a game that made me feel the way Duke Nukem 3D did; as a young teenage girl getting kicks out of a game that was clearly not designed for someone of my age. That said, it paved the way for my descent into a passion for video-games, and I’ve not looked back since. --Lucy Ingram

AndroidRundown

Kaizin Rumble

Kaizin Rumble sees the player slip into the heels of a Great Leader, evil women who lead armies of creatures known as Kaizin. Being evil, the evil empire the player is part of specializes in hunting down and exterminating heroes. From Kick-Ass style guys in red leotards, to actual bonafiled heroes Great leaders travel the world to crush anything that is good. What this boils down to is a series of strange levels where the player makes their way through each area by spinning a slot machine. Matching symbols causes different events to happen, such as finding money or, most commonly, initiating combat. Combat is a very shallow affair. Attacks are as simple as just tapping on the card to be used and the spinning the slot machine to see what happens. --Allan Curtis


Ninja Hero Cats

Ninja Hero Cats mixes two of the most popular things on the internet, Ninja and Cats. How could it go wrong? Ninja Hero Cats has a very simple Angry Birds type story. A group of cats who just happen to be ninjas are about to enjoy a meal when suddenly a tentacled mass appears out of the floor and steals it. The cats jump into the strange portal left behind to retrieve their food and an epic battle against hundreds of hostile creatures ensures! --Allan Curtis

Joe Danger Infinity - Joe's Back and Getting Ready to Start Grandstanding Once More in a New iOS-Exclusive Game

Posted by Rob Rich on December 19th, 2013

A lot of people enjoyed Joe Danger on consoles. The iOS rendition didn't do so bad, either. But it's not over yet. Hello Games has been working in secret for the past year; and they've just pulled the metaphorical sheet off for the reveal.

Joe Danger Infinity is an all-new game, built from the ground up for iOS. The "Infinity" stands for "endless," which means (you guessed it) we're talking about an endless runner of sorts. Endless stunter, maybe? This time around Joe isn't actually Joe but a small toy from a magic gumball machine brought to life. Seriously. The interesting thing about this setup is that it gives Hello Games a whole lot more freedom with characters, vehicles, and environments. Joe isn't going it alone this time, and players will have close to two-dozen other characters to control as well as almost 20 new vehicles - tanks, airplanes, and more.

If you can't wait to get your hands on Joe Danger Infinity and start outpacing your friends (yes, the game is also a lot more focused on scores and competition this time around), well that's too bad. No official word has been given regarding a release date, but we've been told it should be making its way to the App Store "really soon."
