Rebuild
We’ve all been there. You’re a survivor of a zombie apocalypse and you’re tasked with rebuilding society - whilst fending off zombies. A turn-based strategy game in the mould of Civilisation, you must go from building to building, reclaiming it from the zombie hordes, all whilst managing other survivors and resources. There’s seven different endings, so that’ll keep you busy - and the city
scapes are randomly generated, so you’ll always have a new challenge to face.
In perhaps the world’s most obvious seasonal cash-in… it’s air hockey, but with a spooky twist. The spooky twist is that your opponent is apparently a pumpkin with a pair of arms - as well as a load of other monsters. There’s apparently 24 to beat across four different tables - with ten levels of difficulty. What’s cool too is that you can also play two player against a friend on the same device - with each of you taking a side on the phone and sliding your fingers around. Perhaps this is what the huge Galaxy Note 3 has been waiting for. What’s also nice is that unlike most modern games there’s no micro-payments - it’s just entirely completely free!Despicable Me
The surprisingly smash-hit films have made it to Android, offering you the chance to play as one of the iconic Minion characters. There’s different settings in which you have to collect power-ups, fight bosses and do the platform thing - and nicely for Halloween, they’ve added a Halloween level. You can also dress your Minion up as a vampire, for the full Halloween effect.Connect’Em Halloween
In another Halloween rebrand, this clever puzzle game has added some pumpkins to the action, to make it fully topical. The premise of the puzzles is connecting blobs - each blob though has a finite number of connections, so you have to figure out the optimal way to do it. Which sounds easy - but can get fiendishly tricky. There’s three different game modes - and over 2000 levels, so it should keep you busy until Halloween 2014.Shoot the Zombirds
A halloween themed shooter of sorts. In what appears to be a twisted take on the classic NES game Duck Hunt, you’re tasked with shooting down the zombie birds - or “zombirds” as they’re called. There’s different game-modes and power-ups to unlock, and an online leaderboard to compare your scores to other players. And it’s all horror-themed. Perfect.
