Hello. Today I'm writing about some mobile games for iOS. Here it goes.

The first game is called Pac-Man 256. Pac-Man 256 is regular Pac-Man but I like it a lot better because the maze you play in in regular Pac-Man is infinite in this game. So in this game you have to keep traveling towards the top of the screen to avoid being killed by "the glitch" that consumes the maze at the bottom of the screen. There are many powerups and also different ghosts. The pink ghosts will travel straight at you if they see you but will stop if they lose sight of you. The orange ghosts are normal pac-man ghosts that will follow you until you get away. The grey ghosts follow you like the orange ghosts but are faster so it's only safe to pass them with they sleep for short periods of time. The light blue ghost will go in a circle around a section of the maze but doesn't follow you, and the green and purple ghosts will travel horizontally across the maze without following you. Pac-Man 256 is a really good, creative high score game.

Second is a game called Dice Mage. Dice Mage is an RPG type game where you travel across sky islands and get better and better gear while fighting monsters and bosses. Your ultimate goal is to beat the final boss and retrieve the die of fate which can change fate. There are several different types of equipment. Hoods and robes offer defense and special abilities, staffs offer attack and special abilities, and tomes offer attack and decide what special powers you get when rolling. For instance a tome could have 1-4 out of 6 numbers on a die outlined with powers so it could be 1 is heal 2 is lighting 3 is fire and 4 is vamp. That way when you were in a fight and you rolled a 2 and a 4 you would still activate the lighting and vamp powers even if the monster had a higher number than you did. Over the course of the game you get better and better attack, defense, health, and mana. You don't keep these stats if you die and have to start over but you do keep your equipment. You can use mana to re-roll your dice to try and get something better and you can keep doing it but the more times you try to re-roll in one turn the more expensive it gets to do so. Both the player and the monster get to activate the powers they rolled with their dice but only the highest number dice get to attack the opponent. At exclamation point islands you can get better stats and at treasure chow at and shop islands you can get better equipment. All the other islands are monsters. This is a really good game the only real qualm I have about it is that once you've beaten it there's very little replay value.

Lastly, there's an amazing game titled Goblin Sword. Goblin Sword has exceeded all of my expectations for a mobile game. It costs money but has no in-app purchases and any game that's like that is already much better than free games with in-apps in my opinion. Goblin Sword is a 2D fantasy platformer where you work through levels, fighting monsters, collecting gold and gems, finding treasure chests, and discovering crystals. The levels are extremely fun and challenging especially since the terrain can be as deadly and exotic as the monsters themselves. As far as I know there are 5 areas and 80 levels which is a huge amount of content especially with levels this creative and the creator is constantly updating the game with more content. You can buy and find awesome swords and relics which can help you and costumes for appearances. This game is awesome in that even through swords and relics help you, progression in the game is mostly about just getting better and better at it.

Bye.
