EPOCH., Blue Libra and Fearless Ninja Updates!

--=UPDATES=--



Uppercut Games amazing Unreal powered cover-based arcade shooter, EPOCH. has just received a great update. This time around, Uppercut has fixed a bunch of crashing issues, optimized performance on lower memory devices, fixed an intercept that wasn't unlocking, and fixed a third tier health regen armor item that wasn't working properly. This update allows for smoother performance on all devices, with all iOS versions. So those of you who were experiencing crashes on iOS 5.0.1, or just couldn't play because of some bad lag or jitters, now you can fully experience this amazing game. If you haven't bought EPOCH. yet, check out our review and see if it's something you'd enjoy!



Blue Libra, the Sci-Fi/RTS title from Orator Games just got an update today as well. Sadly, this one isn't something to be too happy about. Orator Games has added the 'reward' service, Kiip to this great game. Now you'll be bombarded with Kiip banners while you play telling you that you could win a special 'REAL LIFE PRIZE!'... if you go to their site and register and are picked to win a special prize. These Kiip 'rewards', that are more like ads, are starting to pick up ground in the indie-development department. Blue Libra is the third title to implement these ads to their games, and hopefully, games with the Kiip 'rewards' will go straight downhill so that developers are not temped to throw the ads into their games. Oh yeah, Mission 9 had some difficulty tweaks, and the selecting a ship while zoomed out was also tweaked... yay.



To end our updates update on a good note, the Box Shaped Games title, Fearless Ninja, has gotten it's first update, and it's a fairly nice one. More levels have been added, and the gameplay has been improved. The gameplay feels tighter, and more fluid. So if you haven't checked out this great arcade title, there's no time like the present.


--=FREEBIES=--



CB Labs awesome exploritory platformer, The Adventures of Timmy: Run Kitty Run, has recently gone free for a limited time. This is easily one of the best platformers I've ever had the pleasure of playing on the iOS, and with the recent addition of virtual buttons instead of a floating joystick, the game is now a lot easier to play. If you're a fan of platform games, DO NOT miss this one. It's a game that'll stick with you for some time to come.



Triniti Interactive's latest release, Call Of Mini: Double Shot, is our last freebie mention of the day. In this dual-stick shoot-em-up, you'll run around arena type levels killing as many zombies as you can. However, it's a lot like Glu's Gun Bros in that there's another character helping you out. Though he's not generally too smart, and will usually stand there while zombies attack him, he is good for taking the heat off of you for a second. If you're a fan of dual-stick shooters, Call of Mini: Double Shot doesn't really bring anything new to the table, but in typical Triniti Interactive fashion, it is polished, and full of IAPs, so the only way to really enjoy it is to get it while it's free, play it for a little bit, reminisce about the games they've ripped off with this latest title, and then delete it. Fun-fun!
