It’s the same concept but toned-down and with a different viewpoint.

Yeah, I’m serious with that title. Hello, and welcome back to the Android Game of the Week for August 17-23. This week, we’re checking out something that just hit the Play Store fairly recently. It’s called Motorball, published by Noodlecake Studios, and as you saw from the title, it’s basically Rocket League, but on a phone.

Of course, there are some differences, notably in the camera perspective. However, it’s an extremely fun free-to-play game that’s perfect for just about anyone. Even if you don’t like Rocket League, per se — I’m right there with you — Motorball is still really fun, and I think you’ll find plenty to enjoy.

Okay, so what if you’ve never heard of Rocket League? The gist is that you control an RC car on a soccer field, and you try to push a giant ball into the opposing team’s goal. It’s an insanely popular game because of its ease of entry, i.e., anyone can pick it up and play it, and al…

Sometimes, you stumble across greatness while digging through the Play Store. This happened to me late last week when I was trying to come up with an idea for this article. I found Shadow of Death 2, an Early Access title and sequel to Shadow of Death (obviously). It’s a side-scrolling 2D hack-and-slash with a shadowy aesthetic and RPG elements. Intriguing!

All of that sounds cool, but this game was obviously designed with a mobile gamer’s short attention span in mind. Each of the levels is often pretty quick to complete, so you can finish one while waiting in line or whatever, and pick it up again later when you have another free moment. While I wouldn’t say this game grips my attention as thoroughly as Titan Quest or Anima do, it’s definitely a great way to kill some time.

Shadow of Death 2 picks up where its predecessor (a game I never gave much thought to) left off. I remember picking it up a few times to try it and, while I had some fun, I couldn’t justify the time investm…
