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 [Read More…]

When’s the last time you thought about buying an Android tablet? If you’re like me, it’s probably been a hot minute. The market for Android tablets used to be ripe with competition, with plentiful choice available whether you wanted something cheap, ultra-powerful, or just plain weird (I’m looking at you, Sony Tablet P).

But now that [Read More…]

This is an ingenious way to address issues with gestures overlapping.
It’s no secret that people have frustrations with Android 10‘s gesture navigation, particularly the back gesture — and phones with curved screen edges have only exacerbated the problem. Apps that rely on slide-in drawers can be really tough to use, and when that’s a core part of the interface it can slow you down dramatically.
