Interestingly, weapons can be switch...

If Kyratzes ever gets out of the business of making games, he'll probably be able to make a killing as a novelist.

Renegade Kid's 2D action platformer Mutant Mudds, the company's first self-published title, is the next eShop hit. Kudos to Nicalis for helping out with the QA, as the game felt tight overall from beginning to end. Players assume the role of Max, armed with a heavy-duty water cannon, a water-powered jet pack, and the intention to clean up the invading Mutant Mudd army. With his standard equipment, Max can blast most of his opposition, collect m...

Personally, I'm more of a cat person but there's something oddly irresistible about Lucky Frame's kennel of musically-inclined space-faring pugs. More of a music toy than a game, Pugs Luv Beats is one of those titles that will either leave you scratching your head or cooing in adoration. It's one or the other. Take your pick. The premise here is simple. You're in charge of assisting the interstellar canines in their quest to colonize new plane...
