Why us

We actually play

Every review is based on real time spent in the game, not a trailer or a marketing sheet. If we didn't finish the intro, we won't pretend we did.

No paid scores

Ratings come from our own sessions and nothing else. Nobody can buy a higher number here.

Plain honest words

We write like we talk. If something is clunky or brilliant, you'll hear it in normal language.

Coin Strike
Arcade

A snappy arcade game about flicking coins across tricky boards and chaining perfect shots.

Emberwild Saga
RPG

A hand-drawn RPG about wandering a broken kingdom and choosing who you become.

Iron Frontier

A slow-burn strategy game about building outposts and defending a shifting border.

★★★★☆ 4.2
Nitro Dusk
Racing

An arcade racer full of neon drifts, tight corners and generous handbrakes.

Hollow Tides

A moody exploration adventure about a lighthouse keeper and a sea that hides things.

Editor’s pick

Emberwild Saga
RPG

Emberwild Saga

★★★★☆ 4.4

Emberwild Saga is a proper little role-playing game that fits in your pocket. You start as a nobody carrying a message across a fractured land, and slowly the choices you make start to matter more than the fights. The writing is warmer than most mobile RPGs we've tried.

  • Genuinely good writing and choices
  • Clean turn-based combat
  • Beautiful hand-drawn art

Questions & answers

How do you choose which games to review?

Mostly we play what interests us and what readers keep asking about, with a soft focus on racing and arcade titles. We install a game, spend several days with it, and only write if we have something honest to say. If it doesn't hold up, we either skip it or explain why.

Do developers pay you for reviews?

No. Nobody can buy a score or a spot in our catalogue. Our ratings come from our own play sessions and nothing else, which is exactly why we keep the site small and independent.

Can I suggest a game for you to cover?

Absolutely, and we read every suggestion. Just email us the name of the game and why you think it's worth our time. We've picked up plenty of hidden gems that way, including titles like Coin Strike that we reviewed after a reader tip.

Is there advertising on the site?

We may run light, clearly-marked ads to help cover hosting costs, but they never influence our opinions or scores. Reviews and ads are kept completely separate. If that ever changes, we'll say so plainly.
