Smuggle/Snuggle Truck

Back in April Owlchemy Labs was due to launch its iphone game Smuggle Truck to the App Store. Smuggle Truck is basically a game about “transporting illegal immigrants across the border in a rusty old pickup truck” but unfortunately Apple wasn’t too happy with that theme. Undeterred by the apple road block, 6 months later Snuggle Truck was released.  In this version of the game you now have to transport fuzzy stuffed animals to a zoo. Sounds slightly less interesting but play it and you’ll find the theme change not overly dissappointing.

Where’s my Water?

An urban myth inspires this fun-filled game as you help guide water to Swampy the Alligator’s bathtub. Swampy lives under the city and yearns for a more human-like existence. He is especially fond of cleanliness. The other alligators do not take kindly to Swampy’s eccentricities and have conspired to sabotage his water supply.

Bike Baron

When a game ‘borrows’ elements from two different titles, does it still count as a clone? Either way, Bike Baron is three parts Trials HD to one partJoe Danger, and it barely has an original bone in its body.

That it owes so much to those games leaves a slightly sour taste in the mouth, but taken purely on its own merits Bike Baron is an undeniably enjoyable way to waste a weekend.

While many clones pale in comparison with their inspirations, developer Mountain Sheep gets the crucial stuff mostly right: restarts are instantaneous, controls are solid, and the physics are almost perfect.

Whale Trail

Launched on iTunes today, Whale Trail is a Tiny Wings-style flying game, in which you guide Willow the Whale as he whizzes through a magical rainbow to escape the evil Baron von Barry. Yes, flying whale. Yes, magical rainbow. Bear with us.

Controlling Willow involves tapping the screen to make him soar upwards; he must follow the trail of bubbles to maintain his flight, while avoiding the angry storm clouds that sap his energy. There are stars to collect though that temporarily allow Willow to attack his whispy lightning-filled enemies.
