iPollute - Claymation style art! It’s a build-order puzzle game, along the lines of the Grow series, where you need to figure out what order to press the icons in so that the valley will survive the pollution you’re dumping into it. Trial, error and note-taking are the word of the day, but you can also collect “green coins” and use them to unlock hints and the quick-play mode of the game. (If you pay attention and unlock clues quickly, there’s maybe an hour of gameplay here.)
Aby Escape - Requires an additional big download to start, which apparently contains the story mode. (I really don’t understand why these aren’t just all packed together in the main game download.) The game is a Temple Run clone with the gimmick that you’re a humanoid wolf fleeing from hunters, and you need to pick up sneakers to recharge your energy and get points.
Dark Lands - A side-scrolling “runner” game with rpg elements. You charge through stages dodging spikes and fighting enemies, and gathering coins you can use to buy character and equipment upgrades. (Being able to buy more health does take some bite out of not being very good at dodging; and they don’t pull out the instant-kill traps until a few levels in, as a warm-up.)
Jazz: Trump’s Journey - A puzzle-platformer with a story about a boy named Trump who wants to be a big music star in New Orleans. Jump, move boxes, and freeze time to collect all of the music notes and hidden pictures. I suspect it's the game I'm most likely to return to.
Cortomaltese: Secrets of Venice - A comic book crossed with a point-and-click adventure game, filled with brainteaser puzzles. You are poisoned by a bartender in Venice, who demands you find the six pieces of the legendary Key of Solomon if you want the antidote. The whole thing has a noir flavor and the art is lovely; I’m more likely to play it at some other point when I haven’t just finished a Professor Layton game.
Joe Denver’s Lone Wolf - I’m not entirely sure why, but this (which is based on a series of Choose-Your-Own-Adventure novels, and therefore should be mostly text) requires a gig of hard drive space to install, which my tablet didn’t have available. I’ll eventually try it.
