Shout, Shoot, Shamble, Slash, And Spell Your Way Through This Week’s Mobile Games

Do you need an excuse to scream nonsensical phrases at your friends? Do you want to shoot dudes in order to prevent a nuclear apocalypse? Do you want to stab dudes in order to prevent a fantastical catastrophe? If you shrugged your shoulders in response to any of those questions then you should check out this week’s roundup of mobile games.

Spaceteam
Developer: Henry Smith
Price: Free
Platforms: iOS

Have you ever dreamt about being in the control room of a space ship that is completely inhabited by crazy people? Well you finally have the chance to live out that dream with Henry Smith’s cooperative party game, Spaceteam. Players are assigned a random control panel that must be used to keep the ship operational, but there’s a catch, the instructions for how to operate your panel are being sent to your friends. Players must cooperate and relay the instructions back and forth before the ship completely falls apart. The most efficient way of doing this is to yell at each other as loudly as possible. If you’re curious about Spaceteam, head here to see Dan Ryckert use his dumb brain to put the experience into words.
