We’ve been popped an email by iSys Labs, the maker of the charming little Pixel Ants Live Wallpaper we mentioned a few weeks ago. His latest project is Rat’s Retaliation, which is a clone of an ancient Windows game called Rodent’s Revenge.
If you’re not old enough to remember the days before games were all about war and driving cars around dull recreations of major cities to win respect of fictional gangland leaders, here’s a snippet of explanation from the maker:
The game is a remake/clone of the classic Windows game Rodent’s Revenge. It is a skill based arcade game where you take the roll of a Rat. You have to push blocks around to trap cats and turn them into cheese. There are obstacles and threats in later levels making it very challenging.
If you were familiar with the original this remake stays very true to the original game play but also offers survival gameplay mode.
How we miss the days of games based around random conceits and the collection of cheese.
Rat’s Retaliation doesn’t cost anything to download, so you literally cannot lose. It’s on the Android Market now, or you can get the APK or QR code direct from the game’s XDA thread.
It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
