Army of Pixels is a super fun mix of tower defense and strategy that plays like a more offence-orientated take on Plants vs Zombies.

Players start each level with a small amount of cash to purchase units of varying attributes, then unleash them on the battlefield in formations. You gather cash and mana each round which can be used to purchase more units and unleash devastating special attacks.

The dev plans to add a lot more features to the game with an aim of adding a bit more variety in the missions played across the world map. But even in the Beta, Army of Pixels impresses with its excellent pixel art animation, variety in units and addictive core gameplay. Super fun lane-based strategic warfare.

Survive is a tough little wilderness survival game, played out entirely on a single options menu.

You must survive and travel as far as possible through the wild terrain, battling freezing cold conditions and hunger. Gameplay is fairly straight-forward, with you building camps, gathering firewood, fishing, lighting fires and resting - all while trying to move as far from your original location as possible.

It’s a very tricky balancing act, with no room for error. Spend too long fishing when you should be gathering firewood and you’ll be a human popsicle in no time!

Speak of the Cloud, a wonderfully animated point and click adventure, has you trying to save your stubborn grandfather who won’t leave his house.

An alien invasion has started in your area. Everyone is evacuating as soon as they can, but your stubborn, old, grandfather seems to think that the aliens are not a problem. He’d much rather sit in front of his TV and ignore the UFO’s swarming around the town. Watching a tennis match seems to be the only thing he is interested in. He feels that if he ignores the aliens, they will leave him and his precious TV alone. It’s up to you to get this old man off of the sofa and out of the apartment.

This short game takes place in a relatively small apartment building. Using the objects around you, you must talk to neighbors and come up with some solution to get your grandpa to leave the room. Hooked to the TV, will you be able to make this man get out, for his own good?

Speak of the Cloud was made for Adventure Jam and the devs plan to expand on it into a fully fleshed out version. We can’t wait to see where the developers, Mechanic Moon Studio, take this game next as it’s already a charming, humorous and delightfully drawn adventure. A cloud with a very silver lining.

90 Second Portraits, a game made for the Ludum Dare 31, will have you speed painting (badly) in no time.

Time is money, as it is said. In this game, it could not be more true. The player, a starving artist so to speak, is looking to make some money on the streets by painting customers portraits. To make sure you do not spend too much of your precious time on one person, the player only has 90 seconds to complete a painting for the customer. Using your trusty tools, you must get this painting done to the best of your abilities to earn the most amount of money possible by the end of the day.

You have a couple of tools to use to complete these pictures, a thin detail brush, a thicker paint brush, and a paint bucket (which you literally hurl at the canvas).

There are many, many different people to paint as well as many different backgrounds that you could also run into. At the end of each day, you can view your total earnings as well as the (ahem) masterpieces you have created in the gallery.

Speed painting is pretty tricky, but is also great fun and it’s hilarious to see what paintings you create when strapped for time. The number of combinations of people and backgrounds keep this game interesting and keep each painting unique. After some practice, it gets easier to paint that fast, but it never gets easy.

X-Mercs: Invasion is a great looking X-Com inspired turn based strategy game coming to iOS and Android in 2015.

It may borrow a lot from X-Com, but lets face it, if this is half as good as it’s inspiration you’ll want in on this action.
