Despite the plethora of puzzlers on iOS, Phil the Pill is actually a lot of fun. There's even a whole bunch of backstory explaining Phil the Pill and his battle against an invading Stinkbug, and of course the little dancing pill bugs at the end of each level are super adorable. Curious Media will be running a Kickstarter next week to hopefully get the funding needed to finish off Phil the Pill, so check that out and look for the game to hit sometime in the second half of 2014.

I was able to meet with Vivid here at GDC, and while they weren't quite ready for us to capture our own video of Godfire, I was able to spend a decent amount of time playing through a couple of demo levels in the game, and I really, really enjoyed it. Many people suspected that Godfire was some sort of Infinity Blade-alike, but that's not accurate. In between the combat you're roaming the land and finding treasure in a pretty typical fashion, using a virtual joystick to move wherever you want to go.

Once you enter an area and enemies descend on you, it switches into a more restricted movement mode. Here your character will sort of "lock on" to an enemy, and you have the ability to dive and roll to dodge attacks or just position yourself behind that enemy to be able to land some blows. The enemy AI is quite competent, and they'll frequently use their shields to block attacks meaning you have to be a bit more strategic when trying to take them down. However, this is still very much a button mashing affair, and with all the cool combos your character can perform it makes the combat feel extremely satisfying. There's also a really nice weapon and armor upgrading system with all types of wicked armors and blades to equip, which actually change the look of your in-game character. Oh, and that big boss fight you see towards the end of the teaser above? I played that guy too and yeah, that was intense.

Godfire: Rise of Prometheus is shaping up really nicely. Look for it to launch sometime in Q2 of 2014, and check out our forums for more discussion on the game.

Even in its early state, Battle Casters is a whole lot of fun. Blasting away at bad guys and collecting loot is really satisfying. One thing I wasn't prepared to like so much about it is the timer element. Each run is limited time only, so there's a neat risk/reward between wanting to explore every nook and cranny or trying to hurry along so you can finish a floor. The comparison to arcade racers like Out Run that give you additional time as long as you can make it to each checkpoint of a course is very apt, and it works surprisingly well in a dungeon crawler setting.

Battle Casters should be out in April, and knowing Get Set they'll probably have a lot more content to come even after release.

Here's the rest of the games on our radar right now, which will undoubtedly grow as the day goes on:

• Star Horizon (By Tabasco Interactive)
• Adventure Beaks (By GameResort LLC)
• Scallywags (By Funday Factory)
• TriBlaster (By Bulkypix)
• Tiny City (By Chillingo Ltd)
• Roll Back Home by Dawn of Play
• Quarto! (by Christian Kirst)
• Perfection (by Stuart McLean)
• Dungeons of Evilibrium (By Zillion Whales)

Where Unpossible really shines is in its excellent randomly generated levels and silky-smooth framerate. The cool, glowy visuals don't hurt either. Best of all is that Acceleroto is hoping to cater to a broad audience, offering three different difficulty modes that all feel quite different from each other and even a zen-like free playing mode where you can't die but can just enjoy the ride or get some practice in. Playing Unpossible is a total rush, and I think both twitch game aficionados and more casual players will find something to love when it launches in the next month or so. Also, if you like the look of Unpossible, you might enjoy checking out some early images and concept art posted on Acceleroto's blog.

Well, Ravensburger are legendary in the world of both board games and puzzles, and they've done an excellent job bringing the board game experience to the iOS platform over the years. Now they're ready to do the same with jigsaw puzzles with their upcoming Ravensburger Puzzle app for iPad. It's pretty much what you might expect–a digital hub to host a wide collection of digital puzzles. What stands out about Ravensburger Puzzle is its numerous features and options that make it easy to tailor the experience to suit your taste. Check out our hands-on video where we take Ravensburger Puzzle for a spin.

The iPad is a perfect place for digitized jigsaw puzzles, and there are plenty of jigsaw puzzle games on the App Store, but none of them have really felt like a killer app in the genre. I think Ravensburger Puzzle has nailed it though. In talking with them during GDC, I was interested to learn that they'd been working on a jigsaw puzzle game for some time but had issues getting it just right. They'd built an engine with complex physics and fully 3D puzzle pieces that could be manipulated by the player any way they saw fit, but it just didn't feel good.

In the end, fancy physics complicated the experience, and it wasn't until they scaled things back that Ravensburger Puzzle finally "fit into place" (sorry I couldn't help myself). In this case, less was more, and offering a clean interface that was easy to manage and let players simply place pieces where they needed to go worked out best in the end. I also really love the amount of options in the game, like choosing how many pieces you want a puzzle to be and watching your puzzle's image be "cut" into individual shapes right before your eyes. The hint system is also well done, allowing players to use various levels of assistance should they want to.

It really is nicely done, so if you're a jigsaw puzzle fan and iPad owner, check out Ravensburger Puzzle when it launches on March 27th.

The trick with games like Drifter is that you do so much in them it's hard to just show what the game does in a quick ten minute demo. Regardless, as someone who loves space traders, I can't wait for this one.

Star Horizon continues to look impressive, and I really can't wait to get my own hands on it and take it for a test flight. It's scheduled for a March 20th release, which means it should pop up on Wednesday night here in the US App Store alongside all the other new releases, and it'll cost you $3.99 with no in-app purchases.

This should be our last video with crazy audio, sorry about that again.

It's playable now as a Facebook game, with an iOS version coming shortly.

Word Explorer seems to have all the bases covered to cater towards a wide audience of word game fans. There are un-timed easier modes so you can solve puzzles at your own pace, or harder timed modes where you're under the gun to solve puzzles and earn the highest rewards. It even has randomly generated quick play games and an online versus mode. With a massive amount of words and locations all over the world to visit, Word Explorer should keep you plenty busy when it launches in the next couple of weeks. Additionally, if you've got a Canadian App Store account you can check out the soft-launch version right now.

Leo's Fortune is coming soon, and isn't going to be a free to play game- Or, at least, that's the plan right now.

Update: And here's the trailer-

I'm super stoked for this, and you should be too if you love the Tilt to Live games.

Darkin is still in development, and hopefully sees a release soon. Bring on more puzzle games with RPG elements I say!

As we mentioned in our video, The Sleeping Prince is currently soft-launched in Australian and New Zealand App Stores, and should be seeing a worldwide release at the end of April. If you're in either of those soft-launch territories, you can hit up this link to download the game yourself. For everyone else, keep an eye out for The Sleeping Prince towards in the coming weeks. It's awesome.

Gunship X is almost done, and slated to be released "April-ish". It's going to be a free to play game with an "ethical" free to play model, so we'll see how agreeable the IAP is when it launches.
