I just found a nice looked 3D action game. In the game, you have to hold your girl all they way, run, shoot all the monsters and always keep on the roofs.
According to the developer, almost everything except the music is all created by one man. That is a amazing!
"As always, I've been creating nearly everything on my own (Graphics & Design, Digital Painting, Modelling, Animation, Sound Effects and Programming).
The game features full scene realtime bumped specular reflections (even Infinity Blade doesn't have that, the background there is always static baked lightmap stuff) - and running with 30 fps even on iPad 1.
Gameplay will be an intuitive 3D runner experience with tilt controls for left/right, left tap for jump, right tap for shooting. Or vice versa, if you change the setting
It will come for iPhone 3GS, iPad1 and of course all newer devices."
Now take a look at the tailer, seems to be a nice game to be expected.

BLOOD ROOFS will be available on March, we will keep you updated.

Rovio Porting Angry Birds To Facebook On Valentine’s Day

Summary : Angry Birds is already available for all the clines, like iOS, Android, Windows Phone 7 even Google Chrome, now Rovio has announced the bird and pig war will be coming to a social network Facebook as well. Invite your friends!

Angry Birds is already available for all the clines, like iOS, Android, Windows Phone 7 even Google Chrome, now Rovio has announced the bird and pig war will be coming to a social network Facebook as well.
Those who need their Angry Birds fix but don’t have immediate access to one of the millions of other devices that support it, can hop on over to Facebook from Valentines Day onwards, with February 14th being both the day of love and the day of avian war at the same time!

The game’s creators, Rovio, are currently keeping their cards very much lose to their chest, but what we do know is that the pigs will be more heavily involved in the game this time around. We don’t quite know how Rovio plans on making that work, but were sure it will be super popular regardless.
We’re also looking forward to seeing what kinds of social features Rovio will be bringing to Angry Birds. With Facebook underpinning the whole thing we’re hoping to see some sort of social interaction the likes of which just are not possible on other platforms. We’ll see come February 14th, no doubt.
Rovio CEO Mikael Hed has already said that the game will feature new aspects and a more collaborative feel to it, which will be music to the ears of those who have already played Angry Birds to death over the last year or so. Rovio will need to come up with something other than just being able to check on your friends’ high scores if Angry Birds for Facebook is to be as big of a success as its predecessors have been.

Facebook gaming is already big business, with Zynga making plenty of money already creating games that live on Facebook’s social platform. It was surely only a matter of time before Rovio brought those Angry Birds to the party too, but we can’t help but feel disappointed to see our beloved pigs move on over to Facebook.
So invite your friends on facebook to enjoy the Angry Birds!

Dragon Island: Upcoming Pokemon-like Game for iOS

Summary : In Macworld iWorld 2012, the developers ZigZaGame Inc who are bringing Adventure Bar Story to the App Store. And toucharcade has a good preview this game's story, let's have a look, and it's coming soon:

• PandaApp Editor

• Current Device: iPhone 3GS, Omnia 7, iPad 1
• Future Device: iPhone 5
• Introduction:Techni-Geek live a life in Technicolor!

In Macworld iWorld 2012, the developers ZigZaGame Inc who are bringing Adventure Bar Story to the App Store. And toucharcade has a good preview this game's story, let's have a look, and it's coming soon:

Dragon Island has you exploring a huge world, battling and collecting over 200 different species of monsters. Each one can be evolved several times, and you can even collect recipes which will allow you to combine two different creatures to create a new hybrid version. Also, you'll be able to battle bosses and claim their spirits in order to summon them in future battles.

Another interesting feature is that there are no healing spells or items in the game. You can return to the main town hub to heal, but if you're out in battle and one of your creatures dies, then they're gone for good. I kind of like this as it adds an element of suspense and risk, and should affect how you go about tackling battles and completing the many dungeons in the game.

To balance this, even though you can only battle with 3 monsters at a time, you'll be able to bring more than that with you as you play. So if you do end up losing one, another monster from your queue will take its place. As you level up in the game, you'll gain the ability to carry more and more monsters with you.
The world which you can explore in Dragon Island is massive, with tons of points of interest to discover. These include towns, forests, random battles, and dungeons. When you come upon a dungeon, it is randomly generated and turns the game into more of a rogue-like, and there will be one infinite dungeon where you can grind and discover monsters and items, as well as compete on a leaderboard for how many floors you can descend.
Finally, the battle system will be a traditional 3-on-3 turn-based affair. Each monster can have up to 4 skills, each assigned a special swipe gesture. Although your character doesn't get involved in battles himself, you can still level him up as you would in a normal RPG, and then his stats will extend to the monsters under his control. In this way you can influence how you will play the game despite the massive number of different monsters in the game which are actually the ones doing battle.
