Touch Of Death

Welcome to the latest entry in our Bonus Round series, wherein we tell you all about the new Android games of the day that we couldn’t get to during our regular news rounds. Consider this a quick update for the dedicated gamers who can’t wait for our bi-weekly roundups, and don’t want to wade through a whole day’s worth of news just to get their pixelated fix. Today we’ve got a hilarious take on Fruit Ninja, a combination rhythm game/endless runner, an online Bomberman clone, and a game that’s saved by its trailer. Without further ado:

Jack Lumber

Jack Lumber isn’t all that interested in disguising his Fruit Ninja inspiration, but the trailer is so hilarious that we’re wont to forgive him. Derivative play aside, the game manages to bring some new elements to the “slice up stuff while avoiding other stuff” genre, thanks to great art and a unique time-slowing mechanic. Now if only Owlchemy Labs could be convinced to bring their games to Android in a timely manner. Hint, hint.

A tree killed his granny and now he is out for revenge. Meet Jack Lumber, the supernatural lumberjack who hates trees, loves animals, and hates trees. Did we say that twice? The guy really hates trees, and boy does he have an axe to grind. Use the supernatural powers of Jack Lumber to massacre the forest in this time-warping, line-drawing, log-slicing, pun-filled lumberjacking mashup! Bust out your flannel to muster the strength and burlyness to solve the skill and logic puzzles (flannel not actually required).

Song Rush

We’ve seen games that let you play to your own music before. And we’ve seen endless runners before – a never-ending stream of endless runners, in fact. Now these two relatively okay tastes can taste mildly interesting together. The levels are generated by an algorithm that analyzes your local music files, and you’ll need to employ a bit of finger acrobatics to get to the end of the track.

Robomber

This game is a shameless copy of Bomberman, and it doesn’t care who knows it. But it does have at least one thing going for it: some pretty great online multiplayer, along with a seamless matchmaking system (it’s pretty close to Pocket Fleet, one of my personal favorites). There’s some heavy-handed pushing towards social sharing and a fair bit of advertising, but you can ignore all that and play as a guest for some quick matches with a handful of human opponents.

Touch Of Death

Sometimes we include a game in a roundup because the art style is fresh, or the gameplay is unique, or the idea is original. And sometimes we include it because the trailer makes us giggle. Guess which category this one falls into. It’s a bog-standard Infinity Blade-style fighter with a bit of Fruit Ninja thrown in, and the 2D graphics look like something you’d find in a middle school kid’s notebook. But if you’re in to gesture-based fighting (and cheesy Star Trek references) it might be worth a look.
