UNDER THE SUN (IOS) This Aussie-made indie game is a 4D puzzler. That extra dimension is time, and each step your hero takes as he moves across a small island towards a fire ages everything. Bridges get old and break, trees grow tall and then die, animals migrate and so forth. In each map you need to get to the fire before you die, minimising your movements. Charming gameplay. BEAN DREAMS (IOS) Another Aussie made gem, in this platformer you star as a jumping bean who can’t stop jumping. Your goal is to get to the end of the stage in as few jumps as possible, while picking up collectables and avoiding enemies as you go. The game’s simple gameplay is actually quite challenging, but it’s addictive, too, with a…
