Mario Vs. Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move does not fool me. It’s a really well made $0.99 app… and that’s really the best way to put it. It’s nothing more or less. Is it worth paying ten times as much for? Well, I’m sure plenty of Nintendo fans will…

Much like WayForward and Gaijin Games, Goodbye Galaxy Games has been one of the few independent developers to support Nintendo consoles despite waning developer interest (both from independent and corporate sectors) in the Big N.

Frozen Synapse is by far one of our favourite games here at Digitally Downloaded.
