Agar.io, Slither.io, Vanar.io—I’ve played them all. These eat-or-be-eaten multiplayer games offer fast, casual fun with the potential for severe addiction. Some are better than others, and after extensive playing time with each one, I’ve found my favorite: Diep.io. Assuming you haven’t heard of Diep.io (maybe you missed the initial “.io game” craze), it’s essentially a multiplayer tank war. The graphics are barebones, the animations are smooth, and even with thousands of players in the same arena, there is no lag. … [Read more...]
The Popularity of Mobile Gambling Continues to Grow
Believe it or not but mobile was slower to take off in the gambling sector than many had predicted as many of the early gaming apps delivered very little in the way of unique usability or brand identity. The Choice was poor and let’s face it the experience of playing on your mobile was pretty awful, no wonder that there were no great numbers rushing to play on their phones or tablets. Mobile gambling was tipped to take off several times over the past decade but it wasn't really until the launch of the iPhone back in … [Read more...]
In-Depth Look At the Architecture of Online Casino Games & Gambling
Over the past two decades, online casinos and gambling sites have undergone quite a transformation, from being a niche form of entertainment to becoming a well-known industry worth billions of pounds. Nowadays, when someone mentions playing poker, slots or blackjack, they're highly likely to be referring to the online forms of these games, rather than a trip to a physical casino. This boom in online gambling has brought many entrepreneurs and companies into the sector, resulting in thousands of casino and gaming … [Read more...]
Blast the Biggest Tanks in Diep.io
“This is the tale of… [your name here].” That simple sentence is your introduction into the multiplayer blitzkrieg of Diep.io. Tanks chase after you, massive bullets whizz by, and all you want to do is survive. In order to live, all others must die. Put on your war uniform, and let’s take a deeper look into in the extremely competitive Diep.io. If you think the name of the game sounds familiar, that’s because it is. Diep.io is a variation of the eat-or-be-eaten multiplayer craze started by Agar.io. Released in 2015, … [Read more...]
What’s Up With All These .io Games?
The .io games have recently become huge hits. The 3 most popular ones in the series are Agar.io (the game that started it all!), Slither.io (the Snake version), and Diep.io (the Tank Version). Of course, it’d be best to start off with the game that started it all, i.e. Agar.io. This is the original one, and as such it is the most “raw” of all of them. The game (just as the others) is played online against other players. For Agar.io, each player gets a little circle that they control and move around the map eating … [Read more...]
The Vex Series
Most browser games are easy. If you are looking for a challenge, most browsers games will seem pointless. Enter the Vex games. The Vex series feels like it was created to destroy any gamer’s patience, as these games are HARD. Yet at the same time these games are so good that losing your patience with them is well worth it! The 3 games (Vex, Vex 2, and Vex 3) have the same gameplay and controls, but each game adds in a little more quirks than the previous one, making it more challenging and more interesting. They look … [Read more...]
Top Trends for Mobile Gaming Apps in 2016
In the past, mobile gaming apps have been viewed as an inferior form of entertainment, paling in comparison to traditional console and computer games over the years. As a result, developers found that drawing in new users was more difficult than they had anticipated despite the steep cost of advertising and design. Fortunately, this is no longer the case as technology continues to advance, accommodating modern standards of convenience and accessibility through imaginative concepts and solutions. In essence, mobile apps … [Read more...]
Spinning a Yarn with Barn Yarn
Recently, we had the joy of playing a game called Barn Yarn, from a publisher called Gametop. Of course, we expected something like a farming game that involves the planting and subsequent harvest of different kinds of crops. Oh how wrong we were. Unlike all of these endless games that populate this particular niche, this one is definitely one of a kind. It is many things, but it is not a farming game, that’s for sure. It starts off by introducing you to the barn; a new addition to the farm that is not in the best shape … [Read more...]
Uphill Rush 7: Waterpark is Here
The 7th installment of the crazy fun racing game Uphill Rush is now available. Speed your way through a waterpark with fun rollercoaster rides as you knock away bystanders. Uphill Rush 7: waterpark is definitely a fun ride and we love this game for being released appropriately around summertime for some indoor summer fun. Love it. This makes me want to head to a waterpark soon, except without the risk of flying off a slide! Yikes! … [Read more...]
Agario – Must Play Browser Game of 2015
Who remembers the 2009 puzzle video game Osmos where you enter the game as a single-celled organism called a 'mote' with the motive of absorbing other smaller motes? It's a rather simple objective for a single player game, and definitely fun to play. If you were a fan of Osmos back in the day, then you've surely heard of and have probably already tried the multiplayer equivalent: the new Agario game, which you can play on any browser and through mobile too now. If you haven't, I don't know what you're waiting … [Read more...]
