I love Heroes Of Kalevala. Building up the cities in between match 3 levels was pretty cool. I never really got into Bubble Town, though.

Azkend 2 by 10Tons is out, patched, and a lot of fun as well. I will admit to being biased, though, as I do testing for them.

G5e has a new game coming soon that looks like it might be in the same genre (and with the same stellar graphics) as Royal Trouble. The link is to the iPhone version of the game on the G5e site.

CrossWinds: The Flying City

If you like the "Choose your own Adventure" style games, all of the Fighting Fantasy games are on sale for $.99-they are going to disappear from the App Store it looks like, so future patching won't occur. Link is to story at pocketgamer.

I don't do testing for them, and I loved this one as well. It has a very epic feel for being a match 3 game.

This should be interesting. I loved Royal Trouble.

I was wondering when this was coming. I figured something was up when a different company produced the latest Fighting Fantasy iOS conversion. I thought Big Blue Bubble did a pretty good job with them, so hopefully the same care will be taken under new hands.

Me too! no testing at all, but just looked at the trailers and I think I'll definitely go for Azkend 2...
looks like you'd have to save the world riding a dragon (can u use the word "riding" for a dragon? )...But you actually just have to match three! Lovely sensation

Anyone play Crow? I have so many games right now that I really don't need it, but it's on sale and I'm tempted.

I was kind of wondering about that one myself, but I'm in the same boat you are. I do like games that stray from the norm, however.

I think you might have seen the Dragon Portals trailer. Below is the link to the Toucharcade forum for that game (iPad):

Azkend 2 is more a slide-to-match than a swap-to-match game. The link below is to the Toucharcade forum for that game (iPad):

I tested that one as well. It has amazing graphics, but I had a hard time with the gameplay and the mapping (finding my path). Overall, it really shows off the retina display well, but for me, gameplay overrode the graphics.
