Why us
Ads and purchases, measured
We count how often ads interrupt play and what the paid version actually removes.
We finish what we start
A review only goes up after at least a week with the game, not after ten minutes of the tutorial.
Offline first
Every review says plainly whether the game works on a plane or a train without signal.
Battery and size
How much space it takes and how quickly it drains a phone — both are in the review.

Strategy
Build a small outpost and defend it. Thoughtful, slow, and fair with your time.
★★★★☆ 4.1
Strategy
Draw delivery lines across a growing town. Quiet, clever and unforgiving later on.
★★★★☆ 4.0
Adventure
A short story game about a night shift in a small town. Two evenings long.
★★★★★ 4.5
Casual
A slow gardening game with real waiting. Fine in short visits, tedious in long ones.

Strategy
Iron Frontier
★★★★☆ 4.1
Iron Frontier is a base-building strategy that does not run on timers. You lay out an outpost, plan defences and watch waves test them — then rebuild smarter. Nothing waits behind a clock.
- No build timers
- Cosmetic purchases only
- Offline campaign
- One hand in portrait

Questions & answers
Why are there no scores out of ten?
A number without an explanation tells you nothing. We give a short verdict instead, and say who the game is for.
Do you accept payment for reviews?
No. We buy every game and every in-app purchase we write about, and we do not run sponsored posts.
Can I republish your reviews?
A short quote with a link is fine. For anything longer, write to us first.
Do you review paid games?
Yes, and we prefer them. A game you pay for once usually treats your attention better than a free one.
