From a classic favorite like our blue hedgehog friend to fishing to a dark physics- based puzzle game, this week’s selection of mobile games has an adventurous side. 

Sonic Dash

Developer: SEGA

Price: $1.99

Platforms: iOS

You know I couldn’t resist putting a Sonic iOS game in this week’s lineup. Recently named the number two most-downloaded paid app, Sonic Dash let’s you control Sonic (and unlock other characters with game progression) as he zips through levels collecting rings. Don’t confuse this with the Sonic Dash app for Android – that’s just a wallpaper app for the game. 

Ridiculous Fishing: A Tale of Redemption

Developer: Vlambeer

Price: $2.99

Platforms: iOS

You play as the hook in this fishy action game. Dive down into the deep and avoid jellyfish. Collect as many fish as you can on the way up. Then shoot the fish and launch them in the air. Be careful: Jellyfish give you a score penalty if you hook them. 

Danger Boat

Developer: Pixelocity Software LLC

Price: free

Platforms: iOS

In Danger Boat, you control the boat and avoid obstacles. Gain special power-ups to blast obstacles out of the way or dash ahead at full speed temporarily. 

Nightsky

Developer: Nicalis, Inc.

Price: $1.99

Platforms: iOS

When I first saw this game, I immediately thought of Limbo. Though I’m not much of a puzzle fan, I loved Limbo. NightSky offers similar physics-based puzzles that require strategic thinking and quick decision-making. 

Rock Bandits – Adventure Time

Developer: Cartoon Network

Price: $1.99

Platforms: iOS

Maybe one of my favorite shows on Cartoon Network right now, this adventure game has Finn and Jake battling enemies to save Marceline’s stolen fans. You fight your way through a number of levels and customize Finn’s sword along the way.

    Man, hurry up and race on over to Android, Sonic Dash! The game looks great. I wish they made it... more of a game though. The "Endless Runner" is very, very close to the design of Sonic & the Secret Rings, except that had actual levels and game mechanics, whereas endless runners are just one stage and you play for score. Sega should make A TON more games like Secret Rings, but for mobile now (and with no horrible upgrade system; frickin' thing unbalanced the entire game constantly, and gave the worse first impression imaginable)

    Number 2?! Wait! I saw that when I was at the App Store for my phone. The other game that had number 1 on the App Store was that stupid Temple Run Oz game. But at least it was really awesome to see Sonic Dash in the top 3!

    ****.... YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! I came, I saw, I helped sales for Sonic Dash!!! WOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!

    Why isn't a Gamevil game in the list? They make the best mobile games... in my opinion.

    My patience for Sega has worn almost to its complete disappearance. C'mon Sega/Sonic Team. Give us that 16-bit Sonic game we've wanted for so long. On another note, that Adventure Time game looks pretty fun, though I might need to watch some more of the show first.

    Alas, poor Sonic, I knew him well. I've pretty much given up on Sonic every reaching his full potential ever again.
