Back in May, we were quite taken with the crazy trailer for Techno Kitten Adventure [Free], mostly due to it featuring a large man in a horrible cat suit. Techno Kitten Adventure was released last year as an Xbox Live Indie Game, and has a pretty dedicated following. Developer Elite Gudz was in the process of revamping the entire game with shiny new graphics and playable kittens, as well as bringing it on over to the iOS platform.
A couple of weeks later, Techno Kitten Adventure did launch in...
In the midst of the two year anniversary celebration of Halfbrick's Fruit Ninja [$0.99 / Free ] which includes a huge new update hitting the App Store sometime tomorrow, the Australian developer hasn't forgotten about their five o'clock shadow-wearing bad ass Barry Steakfries, star of such iOS t...
The folks at Halfbrick had been teasing their much ballyhooed Gadget update for Jetpack Joyride [ Free ]for the past couple of months, and just last week it finally landed in the App Store. And it was awesome. However, Halfbrick must have still had some gas left in the tank after that massive upd...
One of our very favorite platforming games here in the TouchArcade Mothership is Ravenous Games' League of Evil [$1.99/Lite], which was released and reviewed by us this past February. The charming pixel art and kick ass chiptunes created a modern-retro aesthetic that's right up our alle...
The highly anticipated update to Jetpack Joyride [ Free ] which Halfbrick has been teasing us with since we first checked it out at GDC has finally gone live in the App Store.

A couple of weeks ago, we highlighted a new update for id Software's Rage [Free] and Rage HD [Free] that added several welcome new features, like a melee move, a virtual analog stick, and HDMI TV-Out support. We also mentioned that id was running a campaign on their Facebook page that if they rec...
Last week we talked about the massive update to last summer's quirky platformer Bean's Quest [99/Lite] that added a ton of brand new levels and fleshed out the storyline with appropriate intro and ending sequences. Basically, Bean's Quest was originally an incredibly short game, featuring just 8 ...
One of the things I love about the App Store is that even after 3+ years it still has the power to surprise me with a game release that I never would have expected. Over the weekend, Namco Bandai finally released the first Tekken game for iOS. Unfortunately, it's not an actual fighting game, but ...
You may not have noticed since it was a short-lived situation, but just before this past weekend Retro Racing [99], the fun old-school style top-down racer from Mr. Qwak, was pulled from the App Store. The sole developer behind Mr. Qwak explains the cause for the removal in a blog post on his web...
One of my personal favorite games of 2011 was the quirky slot machine-meets-role-playing game King Cashing [$0.99 / Free ]. The slot machine battle system was a really different kind of idea that turned out to work great in practice, and the character leveling and upgradeable items drew you in t...
If you've ever played Spectromancer on PC, you know what you're getting into with Hothead Games' Kard Combat [Free, with in-app unlockables]. Not because it's been ripped off, mind you, but because the co-creator of Kard Combat is Richard Garfield, the man behind Spectromancer...
