The hero can move left or right only, sometimes pushing static objects, but he has a spectacular way of dealing with opponents – his style of fighting is reminiscent of a ninja fighter. After finishing each stage, we receive a rating in form of stars, whose number depends on, among others, the time elapsed and the number of gathered gleaming balls. Shadow Bug has a characteristic graphic layer – only the backgrounds are colored, while the whole foreground, along with the hero and his enemies, is presented in black.

Arcade, 2D, Mario, Platformers, Singleplayer.
A mobile installment of the famous platform game franchise by Nintendo, and a typical autorunner production for portable devices. You play, of course, as the eponymous plumber, who constantly moves to the right side of the screen, and your task is to avoid obstacles while eliminating enemies and gathering special golden coins. There are two game modes in Super Mario Run. In the first one, you only have to complete the levels, in the other you compete against the other players, trying to get a better result. What matters here is not only completing the level, but also your method of achieving that. You can also create your kingdom, which is what you use the coins you gather for. The game features the visual style known from the fist installments of the series, although the graphics have been enhanced so that they would not seem old-fashioned by current 2D platform game standards.

Savage Resurrection
August 18, 2016
Action, Fantasy, FPP, Internet, Multiplayer, RTS.
A hybrid of an action and an RTS game created with multiplayer gameplay in mind. The plot follows an unending war between two factions: humans and beasts. The main focus of the game are clashes between two 16-player teams. Each of the armies has a commander, whose perspective differs from the rest of the team. The leaders are given a typical RTS interface – they observe the events from a top-down camera, and their tasks include constructing buildings, research, gathering resources, and sending heavy units, such as siege weaponry, to combat. The remaining players take part in a classic action game; they can use firearms – the events are seen from the first-person perspective – as well as melee weapons, with the camera assuming third-person perspective when using them. The key to success lies in cooperation and carrying out orders received from the commander, who has a better view of the battlefield. The game uses Unreal Engine 4, which allowed for high-quality graphics.

Micro Machines (2016)
March 4, 2020, End of Life
Racing, Arcade Elements, Multiplayer, Singleplayer, Isometric View, Toys, Free-to-play.
A mobile reboot of the cult-classic series of racing games, created by Codemasters Software. In comparison to the original, which was popular in the 90s, the backbone of the gameplay hasn’t changed much. The action is once again presented from a top-down view, with the competition between small, remote-controlled vehicles being the mainstay of the game. The races take place on specially prepared tracks, located in such places as desks, kitchen sinks, or a billiards table. The player has to watch out not only for the enemies, but also for various obstacles like cutlery lying around the track, or even spilled glue. The key to success lies in using power-ups and tuning the vehicles – the number of the latter has increased to over sixty, including very fast, exotic cars, hot rods and muscle cars that are popular among tuners, or even atypical choices for a racing game in form of police cars and hovercrafts. The power-ups available in Micro Machines not only increase the vehicles’ performance, but also their battle potential – during the gameplay, we can use shields, flamethrowers, as well as hard-hitting blasters. Aside from gameplay modes present in the previous installments, a new mode has been introduced – Arena – that forces us to eliminate other competitors. Our results can be stored on an online scoreboard.
