Every day with Paper Monsters speaks to the vibe of making dioramas out of cardboard boxes and torn pieces of construction Read More

Crescent Moon Games' Paper Monsters [ Free ] hit the App Store earlier this year, and we liked it quite a bit in our review. It's a slick looking platformer that's highly inspired by the Mario series, and it wouldn't be that big of a stretch to make some Little Big Planet comparisons. Regardless, it's a load of fun, and is available for free on the App Store right now. I dig the boss battles, the auto-running dash mode is cool, and the game has a great overall feel. If you don't have it already, make sure you snag it during this promotion. wait wait wait wait wait.... am i seeing this right?

Das iDownloadBlog präsentierte die Cydia-App bereits Anfang Januar; Thorwan empfahl in den iPhoneBlog-Kommentaren die Jailbreak-Erweiterung für 7 US-Dollar. Zurecht, wie sich herausstellte. Was macht der Spaß? Er verknüpft iOS-Spiele über Bluetooth mit der iCade, dem Mini-Arcade-Automaten. Als Faustregel gilt: Spieletitel, die ein D-pad und entsprechendes Button-Layout auf dem Touch-Display abbilden, lassen sich mit dem iOS-SchreibtischschmuckAccessoire verbinden. Anschließend schüttelt ihr die Steuerung von Paper Monsters (0.79 €; universal; App Store-Link), oder bequem aus eurem iCade-Handgelenk – auch scheint sich, genau wie viele andere tausend App-Store-Games (ohne Übertreibung!), erfolgreich mit der Funk-Erweiterung von Roger Wetzel und Matthias Ringwald zu verstehen. * Alle selbstproduzierten Videos im iTunes-Podcast-Verzeichnis betteln mittlerweile um eure Bewertung!

I've found that iOS isn't the best platform (so to speak) for platformers. I love games like Mario and Sonic, where you drive a little character around, jumping between platforms and collecting goodies. The lack of physical buttons on Apple's touch screens (and let's face it: cheaper production values) make it hard to pull off a great platformer. Often times developers are forced to cut corners or really stretch to generate new ideas. Not so with Paper Monsters (US$.0.99, universal). Crescent Moon's latest is a traditional platform game (complete with double jumps and warp pipes), and it plays that role perfectly. The little box-headed character can navigate the colorful and nicely-designed environments with skill thanks to some well-turned controls. The whole experience shines through the iOS platform right back to the classic days of 2D platforming. There are some new tricks, too. At times, the action feels more like Little Big Read More

The just-released Paper Monsters [99¢], co-developed by Robots Vs Wizards and Crescent Moon Games, has been in the works for a long time. In fact, development originally began way back in mid-2010, and we didn’t learn until well into 2011 that Crescent Moon had actually jumped into the project to give it a graphical makeover (as they’ve been known to do from time to time). With such a long development cycle, it’s easy for the hype over a game to do one of two things: either people start to lose interest as the months drag along, or the hype builds up to the kind of level that would be hard for any game to deliver on. Well, Paper Monsters finally has reached the App Store, so if you’re part of that first group then it’s time to start paying attention again. More importantly, however, are the folks in that second group Read More
