Stubies ($0.99)
What’s it about? Casual matching game Stubies sees lots of colored people wandering across your device’s screen, and it’s your job to get those of the same color to collide while avoiding those of different colors.
What’s cool? In Stubies, you’re charged with matching like colors as weird little creatures tromp across your screen. You can swipe each of the stubies to speed them up or change their direction, which you’ll need to do to guide them into the paths of other, like-colored stubies, which will disappear when they touch. If two stubies of different colors collide, however, they’ll be stuck until they eventually turn to stone, further crowding the screen and making navigation more difficult. Stubies’ 60 levels get harder over time, as you’ll need to keep the creatures from falling into holes and crowding one another too much.
Who’s it for? Players who like casual arcade games that require quick reflexes and planning should try Stubies.
What’s it like? You’ll find similar gameplay mechanics in titles such as Flight Control and Harbor Master.
