The goal is always to collect marbles and avoid obstacles. Pureya is a collection of mini games that you play one after another for only 10 seconds each. I’m also working on a walkthrough guide if you need help. I definitely recommend trying it out if you have any interest in these types of games. On a quieter week, I might have played more, but I’ll likely have to chip away at this since there’s other games hogging my time. It’s a pleasant experience so far and features fair monetization, as you can try a few levels and then buy the rest of the game if you like it. I do like looking for the hidden collectibles and other Easter eggs hidden throughout the game. I’m still enjoying it and will play more, but it needs to get a little more interesting to hold my attention. The puzzles feel very familiar, similar to ones we’ve seen in their other games. I’ve only played the first few levels and - aside from one puzzle that tripped me up - it’s pretty easy so far. The game looks great, with each level made of a diorama that you rotate to explore.

What happened is that a bunch of cats jumped into a time machine when they should have and now you have to go back in time and rescue them from different points in history. If you’re looking for an endless card-based dungeon crawler that has great artwork and isn’t too punishing, give Card Hog a try.Ĭats in Time is the latest puzzle game from Pine Studio, and this is the first one for them that’s self-published. I’m also waiting for iCloud to be added so I can continue my progress on my iPhone. I’m not sure yet how long the game will hold my attention, but I’m enjoying it for now. There are also several gameplay modes to keep things varied. The one that’s most noticeably different to me is the pig that drops fire every few moves, burning both enemies and things you don’t want destroyed, like potions and coins. I especially like that there are different s characters to unlock through play that change the experience. Still, there doesn’t seem to be too many, so I can forgive it and still enjoy the game. For a game like this, I would prefer not to have a grind for small upgrades.

Between runs, you can also unlock permanent upgrades, though these feel like they’re tacked on to pad out gameplay. The idea is to last as long as you can, and then go again. You can also buy upgrades and other items during your run using the coins and scraps you collect. There are enemies that will evade certain attacks, there’s health potions, poison, and bosses you’ll encounter if you survive long enough. There are spikes that shoot up out of the ground every other move, so you have to be careful to land on them when they’re harmless. You can pick up various types of weapons and some have dual purposes, like the shovel’s ability to dig up scraps. If you move onto an enemy, you attack them and kill them if you have a weapon that has more attack points than their health. You play as a hog - or pig - and move around a dungeon that’s made up of rows of cards. The mechanics aren’t groundbreaking, as you’ve seen them before. I played the beta version of Card Hog a little while back, but now it’s out for everyone and I spent some more time with it. I’ll hopefully have more impressions for you as I get deeper into the game. You can still watch some of my gameplay video to see what it’s like and I’m working on a walkthrough guide here. I do want to continue and plan to do so, but there were simply too many games this week and it kept getting pushed off. But I got stuck on a specific part where I’m supposed to figure out a path using a line drawing and I haven’t been back since. The artwork is gorgeous and the story is entertaining. It’s basically a graphic novel (aka comic book) where you change the outcome by picking up a word from one frame and placing it somewhere else. I hadn’t heard of Fate of Kai before it released, but I was thrilled to see that it came to iOS the same day as PC, especially since it’s a perfect fit for the platform. And please, if you’re reading this, let me know in the comments section that you find these roundups helpful so I know that it’s worth to continue writing them. It’s getting hard to keep up, especially since some of these games are upcoming and there’s even more on the horizon.

It’s another busy week, between regular iOS games and Apple Arcade. Hi everyone, and welcome back to My Week Unwrapped, where I discuss all the games I’ve been playing over the last seven days.
