Why us

Ads and purchases, measured

We count how often ads interrupt play and what the paid version actually removes.

Battery and size

How much space it takes and how quickly it drains a phone — both are in the review.

We finish what we start

A review only goes up after at least a week with the game, not after ten minutes of the tutorial.

Offline first

Every review says plainly whether the game works on a plane or a train without signal.

40 Burning Hot
Casual

A slow gardening game with real waiting. Fine in short visits, tedious in long ones.

★★★★☆ 3.5
Stone Lines
Puzzle

A minimal line puzzle with a thousand levels and very little else.

★★★★☆ 3.5
Paper Routes
Strategy

Draw delivery lines across a growing town. Quiet, clever and unforgiving later on.

★★★★☆ 4.0
Signal Lost
Puzzle

Rebuild broken radio circuits. Hard from the start and honest about it.

★★★★★ 4.5
Card Club
Cards

Classic card games with a decent offline opponent and no forced online play.

★★★★☆ 4.0
Dust Rally
Racing

An arcade racer with tight controls and no energy bar between races.

★★★★☆ 4.0

Editor’s pick

Stone Lines
Puzzle

Stone Lines

★★★★☆ 3.5

Stone Lines is exactly what it looks like: draw lines, fill the board, move on. There is no story and no progression beyond the level number.

  • A thousand levels
  • Tiny download
  • Ad every third level

Questions & answers

Can I republish your reviews?

A short quote with a link is fine. For anything longer, write to us first.

Why are there no scores out of ten?

A number without an explanation tells you nothing. We give a short verdict instead, and say who the game is for.

Do you review paid games?

Yes, and we prefer them. A game you pay for once usually treats your attention better than a free one.

Do you accept payment for reviews?

No. We buy every game and every in-app purchase we write about, and we do not run sponsored posts.
