A Data Stream processes millions of terabyte’s of data a second globally. You are using a data stream right now to view this article and our website. Alternatively, data streams are the how hackers gain access to computers, intercept calls and cause the general amount of debauchery. Data Tunnel is a game based on a hackers inside perspective of screaming through a Data Stream, avoiding security features and reaching the core processor before being detected.
You will use your devices accelerometer for steering and touch the screen to boost your speed. Keeping your eyes focused on the tunnel ahead to steer around obstacles and various other troublesome entities. The first couple of levels in the demo are pretty easy. Giving you a little time to get used to the speed at which you are traveling and how responsive your steering is. You get 6 levels to scream through for no charge with no time limits and no ads.
The graphics of the game look exceptional. The developer has done a great job making it look great and play great. Once you get your dose Data Tunnel in the demo version, you will want to snag the full version for sure. The full version offers a bit more intensity. You will have 25 levels to maneuver through and 7 various unlockable ‘Data Runners’ to choose from. Each runner has its own characteristics. One mmay give you greater speed but is slower to maneuver, while another may be a little slower but maneuver extremely quickly. Finding the right runner to get to the processor before time runs out is the trick. Sometime slow and stead wins the race. It gets pretty crazy after you get going.
To kick the replay value up a bit, each level is randomly generated based on a set of algorithms. If missed a power up, or thought you memorized the tunnel the first time through, you will be wrong. The enemies, obstacles and power ups are randomly generated ever time you play a level. Check out some screen shots and the official trailer below.






If you guys looking for a visually pleasing game that is fast paced and changes randomly, then Data Tunnel is a great title to check out. Below you can click or scan the QR code for the demo version to get a feel for the game. I bet after you weave your way through the demo though, you will have to snag the full version. It is well worth the $1.99 the developer is asking for it.

Pest control is definitely not the best thing you would like to do on a weekend, but if pests love your house more than you, its time for some real action. The simple concept of catching flies is turned up into a beautiful idea and an Android game Fly Paper by Matthew Broerman. The game is far more interesting and challenging than it seems in this review.
Well, your aim is to catch as many flies as possible and make the room tidy. Rather than the common approach seen in a few pest control games you would have played earlier, Fly paper uses a different game control strategy. You toss a fly paper that looks like a sticky and elastic gum from side to side of the screen to catch flies. The Fly paper is slid by swiping from the edges of the screen in the right direction. No smashing, no squeezing, no tapping, it’s just the right strategy with the right timing that takes you ahead. Apart from just catching flies your biggest rival are the bees which take down your countdown time. The Fly Paper in the game is very elastic and sticks to another side of wall while it is stretched to leave the previous surface. There is a little bit of physics and a natural time lag that any elastic takes to regain its shape. This physics fundamental makes the interesting concept of the game and is used as a weapon in the game to effectively catch multiple flies in one go.
Throughout the game you race against the clock and that what makes the game highly challenging is the desire to score higher by staying in the game for longer and ultimately catching more flies. To add some more excitement to the game, there a two different types of power ups- ‘extra time’ which adds few seconds to your countdown timer which the bees could have eaten up by sticking over your fly paper and the ‘bug bombs’ power ups that works great to kill all flies and bees on the screen thus giving you a quick boost in score and saving your efforts in the game.
When you are out of time you take the privilege to see your game summary including stats like total flies caught, best combo of flies caught and total points accumulated which is your final score. Highscores are saved locally and every improvement in a game is reflected as a star beside the new achievement. Thus the game gets challenging each time you defeat your own highscore. Replayability is the best part I like about such games which are quick to start, easy to play but hard to master. For a wonderful game like this the exclusion of a social platform like open feint is something most of the gamer would miss.
Fly Paper comes with a clean and bright graphics, wonderful sound effect that match the theme of the game. Whether you are in a short queue, waiting for your friend at a restaurant or just relaxing on your couch, Fly Paper will quickly fill your spare time into fun. Considering what you get with the game, Fly Paper deserves its rightly set 99 cents price tag for both smartphones as well as tablets.

From CatfishBlues Games, developers of Hyperlight, comes the very different Tiny Comet. Using tilt controls and some judicious screen tapping, you must guide your little comet across Earth’s landscape in an effort to break free from its gravity and return to the stars. On your journey you’ll encounter a plethora of obstacles that will slow you down, drain your energy, and confuse your comet; but you will have an equal variety of power-ups that will help you overcome to dangers in your path.
How It Works
Once you start a level, the game automatically calibrates the tilt sensor to the current angle at which you’re holding your device. You then simply tilt the device to guide your comet up and down the screen, trying to avoid bad objects and collecting the good ones.
The goal is to reach the end of each level before your energy runs out, dropping you off the bottom of the screen, but you can collect yellow stars throughout the map in order to boost your energy. There are also items that will drain your energy more quickly, obstacles that you can break through freely but also some that slow you down; spiky guys that confuse your comet, reversing the tilt controls for a short time; bubbles that surround your comet and make it harder to collect yellow stars (though you can pop these with a tap before they become a problem); and many other foul nasties along the way.
Power-ups include speed boosts (as well as opposite counterparts that slow you down), fireballs that let you burst through some obstacles, a wrecking ball that lets you destroy anything in your path, magnets that draw in yellow stars automatically; and the all-powerful supernova that does exactly what you would expect it to do.
As the power-ups and obstacles build up level after level, the maps become exercises in coordination and speedy, strategic thinking. The game features a handy tutorial system that gradually introduces each new element by freezing the action and popping up instructions, before sending you back on your way armed with new knowledge and new strategies.
Pros And Cons
Tiny Comet is engaging right from the start. It has easy, responsive tilt controls that feel natural and fluid in your hand, increasing the speed of your comet as you tilt further in either direction. The inclusion of the occasional need to tap to pop a fast-approaching bubble make the harder levels 120-second nail-biters from start to finish.
The in-game tutorial is a great way to gradually introduce players to each new gameplay element, and is completely unintrusive. The graphics are well thought-out, with a color scheme that helps you easily identify the good stuff from the bad stuff, even if you’ve forgotten what each particular item does. The game is, strictly speaking, easy to play, but definitely gets harder the further along you get. The kiddie-friendly graphic style hides a very challenging, adult-level game.
Overall
Tiny Comet as a whole is a fantastic game that pairs terrific gameplay and controls with fluid graphics, and engaging sound and music. It’s simple and familiar enough to understand without intensive instruction, but offers deep and challenging gameplay for those who crave more than a short distraction.
Tiny Comet is currently 99 cents, and is a universal app for iPhone and iPad.

Miami, Florida – Tokkao, an independent game developer company, today is pleased to announce the release of Paper Wings for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. In Paper Wings, players must try to fly as far as they can with the help of power ups and their evasive skills. The game features many levels; each with objectives the players must complete to advance.
Like many other games, Paper Wings offers the players a way to unlock different characters to play with. However, unlike the other games in the market, Paper Wings has a unique trait. When players unlock a new character, the character’s ability will also be unlocked as a power up during the flight. This ensure that unlocking pilots is more than just adding a new graphic to the game. This is because with each pilot, we also add new elements, which integrate nicely into the game and increment its fun factor.
Paper Wings will also allow player to upgrade the newly acquired power ups to ease the gameplay and increment the competition among players. Online interactions have been implemented by using Game Center, OpenFeint, and Facebook; therefore, players can keep their friends in check whenever they hit a high score.
Another new concept introduced in the game is the bonus and enemy zones. As players collect special colored rings, they can unlock different bonus zones. On the other hand, if they fly far into the level, not only the difficulty increments, but enemy zones start to appear as well. These enemy zones will surely put the players in a different perspective and change their flying experience to keep them attentive and entertained. In general, Paper Wings not only offers new concepts to the iPhone market, it also integrate them in a smooth and entertaining experience.
Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 3.0 or later

Amazon has released their FREE app of the day, and today we have Bonsai Blast by Glu Mobile Inc.
Bonsai Blast is one of those games that you either love or hate. It’s addictive and amusing and my kids absolutely love this game. I’d recommend you head over to Amazon and download this little treasure.
It’s FREE, so download it, give it a try and uninstall it if you don’t want it.
Product Features
- Shoot and match colored marbles together in this colorful zen-themed puzzle game
- Play through 90 increasingly challenging levels–cherry blossom gardens, snowy fields, and other gorgeous landscapes await
- Harness the strength of elemental power-ups: Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Light, and Dark
- Test your marble blasting skills in the never-ending Survival Mode
- Collect treasures in the all-new bonus levels
Product Description
Shoot and match colored marbles together in this zen-themed puzzler from Glu Games. Bonsai Blast features intuitive touchscreen controls that make it easy to pick up and begin play. Colorful, tranquil background environments draw you in as you try to clear the board of marbles before they reach the end of the path. With addictive puzzle gameplay in the tradition of such Match-3 games as Zuma and Puzz Loop, Bonsai Blast offers 90 levels of marble-blasting bliss.

Gameplay
Bonsai Blast is a Match-3 puzzle game where players try to match as many sets of three or more same-colored marbles together. A successful match clears the set from the board and activates any attached bonuses as well. New marbles are created at the edge of the screen, forming a long strand that slowly advances along a set path. You lose the game if the strand of marbles ever reaches the end of the path, marked by the yin-yang symbol.
Clear sets of marbles before they reach the end of the path by using the touchpad to shoot your own marbles into the advancing strands. Line up your shots precisely to match up three or more of the same color. Your marble shooter stores two different marbles at a time: tap the shooter to swap between these colors. Clear away all waves to advance to the next level, and continue advancing through all 90 levels to beat the game.

Adventure and Survival Modes
In Adventure Mode, players must clear all marbles from the board to advance to the next level. Progress is marked on an overland map that records your route from level to level. Embark on a zen-themed journey through cherry blossom gardens, grassy fields, and snowy mountains to master all 90 levels.
Survival Mode gives you the option to begin playing from any level you have already completed during Adventure Mode. In this mode, waves of marbles will continuously advance down the path until they reach the end. Challenge yourself to hold out as long as possible and set a new high score record.

Classic Gameplay Made New
Though the gameplay will be familiar to anyone who has played a Match-3 puzzle game before, Bonsai Blast features several new additions that add a fresh challenge to its classic style. Use chutes to guide marbles down winding paths, teleport shooter locations with a single touch, and rack up bonuses by using walls to ricochet your shots. With its intuitive touchscreen controls, shooting and matching marbles has never been more fun.
Elemental Mastery
Use the elements to your advantage by collecting these six power-ups:
- Water: Make a splash with this power-up by popping several random marbles with each shot
- Fire: Melt away entire waves of marbles by loading up your shooter with these fireballs
- Earth: Smash all marbles of the same color with this powerful seismic attack
- Wind: Summon a swirling gust of wind and cherry blossom petals that pushes marbles backwards
- Light: An explosion of light shatters marbles on impact–shake your mobile device to increase the blast radius
- Dark: This negative effect covers your shooter with a shroud of darkness–shake the device to clear it away
