“Pokémon Café Mix is a unique puzzle game where the player is now the owner of a café that serves delicious treats to Pokémon. Complete puzzles by linking together Pokémon icons to prepare drinks and dishes for your Pokémon customers as they have a wonderful time at the café!” – The Pokemon Company
Although Pokémon Café Mix was only released on the 24th of June, it had no problems at all in terms of how it operated. We thoroughly enjoyed the gameplay along with the cute, artsy graphics and easy to use controls. If you’re a big Pokémon fan, you’ll probably enjoy it as much as we did!

“Your favorite Dumb Ways beans have hopped off the train and landed in the city. They’ve got their masks, boots, and superhero capes on and are ready to go. Now it’s up to you to save the day!
Welcome to “Dumb Ways To Die: Superheroes”, the latest addition to the Dumb Ways To Die series of games! Race your bean across the rooftops of the Dumb Ways city in day and night! Climb, crawl, swing, jump, run, and avoid obstacles. Unlock new beans, achieve goals, and much more!” – Metro Trains Melbourne
Our high expectations for this game, based on the other games, were met perfectly. Metro Trains Melbourne hasn’t let us down yet as it seems they spend a lot of time making sure their games are actually entertaining. Who would’ve thought this good of a gaming series would come from teaching people about train safety?

“Do you LOVE word games? Want to know how smart you are? Word Show takes the classic word puzzle to a whole new level of fun! From the creators of the most popular trivia game of all time, Word Show gives a fresh twist to the world of crosswords and anagrams.” – Etermax
Since we’ve always been loyal to Word Cookies, we didn’t have many expectations with Word Show – especially since it doesn’t even come up when you Google it. However, it’s a simple game with an addicting element and we’ve got through so many levels already!
KartRider Rush+

“KartRider Rush+, enjoyed by over 300M players worldwide is back and better than ever with more style, more game modes, more thrill! Race with friends or just play it solo through a variety of gameplay modes. Collect and upgrade iconic characters and karts from the KartRider universe. Climb the leaderboard ranks and become the ultimate racing legend!” – NEXON COMPANY
KartRider Rush+ felt like a console game from the minute it started. The graphics were especially pleasing and well done. We loved the character’s fun outfits and expressions they’d make when winning a race. We also liked how the races were short and sweet so it’s an easy game to play when you don’t have a lot of time.

“Towerlands is an addictive game that mixes the genre of the tower defense (TD) with strategy elements and role-playing (RPG). You will feel like a castle lord in a fantasy world. Your goal is to defend the castle from enemies and take over new lands.” – Oleg Kapitonov
Tower defense games have never been our favorite, however, Towerlands was extremely fun to play. It’s easy to play, yet competitive and has great graphics that we thoroughly enjoyed. We’ve kept this on our phone for good reason – see for yourself!
So that’s our roundup of June, let us know what your favorite games for this month were!
Happy gaming and stay casual!
