If The Swimming Anime Could Do It, So Should Little Witch Academia

Being a fan is a powerful thing. Fans can change a game’s ending. More recently, a fandom’s excitement was responsible for turning a 30-second clip into a full-fledged anime series — even though the studio didn’t initially have plans to expand on the clip.

This Week’s Android Charts: A Vector Of Change

It takes a lot to stand out in the “runner” category of games these days. There are so many of these games, and only so many different ways a player can run, jump and dodge their way to victory. That said, style goes a long way — and the new runner The Button Affair has got more than its share of style.

This Week’s Android Charts: So Excited For A New Game I Don’t Care That It’s Wipeout

I’ve been rather hard on Activision’s mobile Wipeout game in the past, largely because it’s based on a silly television obstacle course show and not my beloved series of PlayStation hovercar racing games.
