I mentioned earlier this week when we posted our weekly list of new iOS game releases that it was a surprisingly light week, with only about 70% of the volume of new games that we’d been typically seen in the months since. Welp, looks like there were quite a few stragglers this week that snuck out later than usual, many of which we’ve talked about before and had been anticipating. So since it’s the week’s end here’s a second Out Now post for you with some interesting stuff on it to check out. Enjoy!

Tap Company: Startup in Miami
iTunes Description
Lead this small startup company and they will grow so quickly that they eventually decide to build the biggest (barely) legal casino in the world, using the experience from their shady business employed as a cash-multiplier in the basement.

Will they proceed with building the casino or start to construct something more surprising? Who knows?

Upnoid
iTunes Description
Upnoid – is a breathtaking game with fun actions.
You will manage a platform trying to go up without falling a disk.
When the disk strike on an yellow wall and an yellow rhomb, the speed of the disk and the platform increases on +5 points above the average over next two seconds, and each next strike on the yellow rhomb and the yellow wall adds two high-speed seconds of +5 point below the average.
At this moment you can include “Slow”, which will slow down the rate at -5 point below average, slowing also lasts two seconds.
Forum Thread: Upnoid (By Irbayhan Goytemirov)
This looks... Pretty good honestly. I may try it.
Yep, especially the hottie with the cones.
The trailer tho lolololol
Wait wait wait...what is clash of clans? Never heard of it.
Heh, that was a good joke
For gaming's sake, are they never tired of cloning CoC? Why do I have to ruin other players game in order to enjoy mine? Why?
Play the game. It's not really that much of a clone.
This argument tho.. So you don't want to defeat others for your own purpose? *Plays a shooter* "No don't let me shoot him! Noooo!"... Ends with a kill/death score of 0-89... Lmao
Comparing it to CoC is not at all accurate. It is closer to Starcraft or AOE than CoC. Just scaled down and simplified for touch.
Out now? Where?
It's pretty sad how age of empires should have looked like this game smh
I don't know why you'd bleep it when I can clearly hear the beginning "f" and the ending "k" sounds.
Reminds me of Warcraft. Before they went MMO. I still wish Blizzard would remake, or make new chapters for their Warcraft RTS.
The title makes no sense. While I love articles on TouchArcade, I am really irritated by articles calling any strategy game a CoC-clone. CoC is not a genre. CoC didn't invent strategy; they cleverly simplified a long and well established PC design onto mobile.
CoC is an asynchronous RTS. This asynchronous formula is the best fit for mobile. Which is why most mobile strategy games use it; not just for the sake of copying CoC. I haven't played Incorruptibles but I don't understand how it can be a RTS take on Coc. It's like saying Starcraft is a RTS take on Warcraft.
It's a trend on TA to always refer to a more famous game in the title. Like all puzzle-platforms games are now Monument Valley-like. That's really disrespectful for developers
Don't think too hard about it.
I do because TA readers are mostly resistant to f2p (as far as I can read in the comments) and naming a famous f2p in the title is going to give a first bad impression about the new game talked about. That's not fair to the developer
Uh TA readers are absolutely not resistant to f2p. Maybe the most vocal ones in the comments or people in the forums, but as we've said before the recent Clash of Clans posts generate 50-100x the amount of traffic as anything else we post about. I really doubt the developer of this game is going to think it's unfair that they might get 50-100x the amount of eyeballs on their game by being mentioned in the same breath as one of the most successful and popular video games in the history of video games.
Anyway, to your original point, pretty much any RTS-style game is going to get mentioned alongside CoC, just the same way Angry Birds gets mentioned alongside any physics flinger or Candy Crush gets mentioned alongside a match-3. Those are games that people who don't necessarily follow gaming a bunch are familiar with.
Do you object to the genre rogue like? I don't view it as disrespectful at all, it's just a quick way of giving the reader an idea of what kind of game to expect..
Well apparently Rogue created a genre or sub-genre so it doesn't shock me. Also, Rogue is an old game that few people would know of (I didn't). It sounds more like a genre nowadays.
Pretty cool so far.
nice trailer !
Who is that chick with the ice cream cones on her tits
Game is a lot of fun so far. F2p doesn't bother me when it's primarily timer based. I work full time and have two small children so marathon gaming is out for me anyway. If anyone has a guild going let me know. Would love to join.
Not bad but anyone else phone get really hot playing this game? One of the only games that do this to me.
