Episode App Review

Introduction: We have come a long way since the “choose your own adventure” books. We now live in an age where even Netflix shows can change their stories based on what you want the characters to do in real-time. It is no wonder then that there are apps being designed to capitalize on this rising fad. Episode-Choose Your Story is just such an app. Aimed at teens 12-13 years old and up, Episode navigates the user through romance and dating stories in which specific choices must be made to advance in a variety of directions. Stories are either made by an editorial team or the users themselves. Read Full Review

Homescapes App Review

What is Homescapes? At its core, Homescapes is a tile match game with mechanics similar to Candy Crush. This is where the main gameplay is, but there is a unique spin to it; by completing these match puzzles, you get to renovate and decorate rooms in a house. In short, it’s a combination puzzle and design game, which is a pretty unique mix of mechanics. There’s even an actual story involved in this game, though it’s probably not top tier writing. Then again, most people don’t play app games for a gripping plot, so this complaint is minimal. Read Full Review

Perfect Slices App Review

Perfect Slices is a straightforward gaming app that’s all about one thing; slicing cleanly through all sorts of vegetables in rapid succession. The game mechanics are very simple; rows of vegetables towards you on a conveyor belt, and all you have to do is hold your finger down to make your knife slice up and down, chopping them up as they come. Of course the game gets a little more complex than that, or it wouldn’t be much of a game. As you progress further in the game, there will be obstacles that force you to time your chopping properly, lest you break your knife. And of course, there’s a variety of different knives with different attributes to help mix up the gameplay as well. Read Full Review
