Six BulkyPix Games for Your iDevice to Play This Christmas

Aqua Panic

Fans of addictive brain-busting puzzlers will enjoy this one. Aqua Panic is a Rollando-meets-Enigmo type of game in which you have a variety of water-manipulating tools at your disposal and your challenge is to guide a school of fish to safety. Your toolkit includes everyday items like bombs, plants, and harpoons, but also more sophisticated tools such as fans, attractors, and other contraptions that freeze water, collect fish, or create cloud.

Aqua Panic spawns a whooping eighty levels spread across five colorful environments (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, and Inferno). In addition to 8000 wispy fish to rescue, you'll need to outsmart dozens of sea creatures such as narcoleptic sharks, hungry seagulls, and sliding penguins.

Aqua Panic is available in the free demo version with 30 levels to download. The $4 Aqua Panic Deluxe version features Game Center support, Retina Display graphics, 80 levels, and ships as a universal binary which works on all iDevices.

Hysteria Project 2

One of the best-looking horror games on the App Store is back. Unfortunately, little is known about this second installment except that it brings 360-degree environments and a bunch of scary video clips to engross yourself in. From little information we've gotten so far, it seems we're in for the usual combination of mystery-solving and exploration. Expect Hysteria Project 2 to launch later this month on all iDevices.

Artillery Brigade

Available later this month for all iDevices, Artillery Brigade has you battling an overwhelming onslaught of enemy forces from land, sea, and air that include companies of soldiers, warships, tanks, and other war machines. This World War II-themed shooter features six distinct environments, unlockable weapons for each class and survival mode for each campaign mission accomplished, and a full 360-degree range of motion. 

Romanian Developer Revo Solutions is adamant to spoil gamers with high-res Retina Display graphics, day and night missions, three different weapon types (machine guns, AA guns, rocket launchers), in addition to handy helpers like target finder, zoom, and radar movement. Control choices include touch, gyroscope, and accelerometer. Game Center and Open Feint leaderboards and achievements are also supported.
