this week in mobile gaming

From racing against time to deliver an egg to matching three or discovering puzzles in a hidden room, this week’s mobile games are sure to challenge your wits. 

Final Fantasy V

Price: $15.99

Developer: Square Enix

Platform: iOS

The mobile version of the 16-bit classic finally hits iOS. Now you can bring Final Fantasy anywhere. Though a hefty price, it’s a true trip down memory lane for any diehard FF fan. The art in FF V has been completely redone in 2D. 

Dungeon Hearts

Price: $2.99

Developer: Devolver Digital

Platform: iOS (iPad)

This takes match-three games to a whole new level. It’s like Candy Crush Saga meets Guitar Hero. You have to race against time to clear as many as you can by matching three or more of the same shapes. 

The Secret Castle

Price: Free

Developer: Platronic Games

Platform: iOS

The Secret Castle is a hidden-object adventure game using 3D effects. In each room, not only do you have to find the hidden objects, but solve puzzles as well. 

Pili Pili Rush

Price: Free

Developer: The Game Atelier

Platform: Android 

Pili Pili Rush is a puzzle platformer where you must gather the eggs and get them to the chicken, maneuvering your way through the different architecture of each level. It’s not as easy as it sounds, for the levels become more entangled as you progress.
