The free-to-download Bar Oasis 1.5 features a brand new plot, familiar mechanics and a new game mode." - Mobile Game Pick: Bounce Box (Andy Wallace) "Bounce Box is a reflex-testing arcade game in which players must keep a collection of orbs from escaping the screen by tapping the edges as they approach. It's a simple premise, but the trippy visuals and the Bubblyfish-composed chiptune soundtrack make it much more engrossing than it would be otherwise." - Discrimination Pong Inspires Frustration, Discomfort On iOS "Discrimination Pong visualizes discrimination and racism through intentional gameplay defects. During each match, the 'not so white-paddle' is made more difficult to see and control as gameplay progresses, while the white paddle receives a variety of unfair advantages." - Kickstarter Update: Leisure Suit Larry Successfully Funded "Replay Games has successfully raised the funding it needed to produce a remake of Al Lowe's Leisure Suit Larry, thanks to its recently concluded Kickstarter campaign. Leisure Suit Larry is expected to launch later this year for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android devices."
