Dungeon Scroll 2.0 (Robinson Technologies)

At first glance, Dungeon Scroll looks like a first-person dungeon crawler in the style of old Dungeons & Dragons PC RPGs. However, if you spend more than five seconds with the game, you’ll realize that all the fancy trappings are just window dressing for a fiendishly difficult and addictive word puzzle game. The concept is simple: you are given eight letters at the start of each dungeon and you fight the creepy inhabitants (such as snakes, skeletons and zombies) by forming words from these letters. The amount of damage you deal and the points you accumulate are based on the length and complexity of the words you speak.

Bricks of Camelot (Arcade Lab)

Join the epic adventures of Camelot in this action-packed brick breaker with out-of-this-world power-ups and special effects. Collect treasures, weapons and gold as you travel through the King’s castles, dark dungeons, Sherwood Forest and many other exciting locations. Bricks of Camelot has a great theme. It runs smoothly, has cool graphics, and is everything you’d expect from your regular Arkanoid game. Additional interactive elements include a torch that ignites nearby bricks, an ax that explodes into several smaller axes when struck, and eagles that fly across the screen, dropping gems from their talons.

BraveDwarves 2 (GameOver-Games)

The underground kingdom is in serious trouble. The Great Evil came and drove the poor dwarves out of their home. The elders had a meeting and decided to send two brave dwarves to fight and defeat Evil. In BraveDwarves 2 you play as two brave dwarves embarking on a dangerous adventure. One of them is a mage and the other is a warrior. With the help of various weapons, they must sweep the Evil from the ancient caves and let the dwarves return and resume the work. This is what’s great about BraveDwarves: the way dwarves can collect orbs of power: fire, water, air, and earth. Orbs of Power are the source of enchantments and can be used as weapons if fed with diamonds.
