At Funcoast, we love mobile games with all sorts of levels and weapons and secrets and all of that. Colorful graphics and blinding explosions on your phone screen can be fun, but sometimes a simpler game can be a nice change of pace. So, for just that reason, our Tandem Mobile App Pick of the Week is Last Fish.
Last Fish is the latest offering from a company called Pyrosphere, and the game has a really unique look to it. The game is entirely grayscale. You have a fish that you have to maneuver through one single screen among a lot of healthy white dots and toxic black dots, through rings, and away from other fish who are chasing you.
The way you maneuver the fish is what really makes this game interesting. The game relies entirely on you tilting your phone around to control how your fish moves. Tilt your phone right, your fish swims right, tilt your phone back, the fish swims up. It provides a much different take on phone games than the tapping and swiping that most games make you do. Plus, the understated colors and relaxing motions of your fishy protagonist probably make this a good game for anyone who likes to play phone games before they fall asleep.
So for a cool take on the phone-tilting aspect of mobile gaming, we recommend Last Fish. It's available for $0.99 for Android HERE and for iPhone and iPad in the Apple App Store HERE.
We get that the price tag not reading free might be a turn off, but for a buck, you really do get a well-made game that's not your ordinary loud, flashing, bird-flinging fare. So we say it's worth it. Enjoy!

Just be careful what apps you download. Alot of the "free" apps make you agree to let them trace all your phone calls to see whos calling you and from where. They want to be able to take photos from your phone, even if your phone is off. They want to be able to record any audio that your phone picks up, even if your phone is off. They want to track your internet usage, etc.....These apps are put together by our government and con-artists that want to further infringe on our right to privacy. I have Altel and when I first got my "smart" phone, I read every rule on each individual app. I flagged everyone that I could and said it invaded my privacy, now when I try to view them, I have to agree to a whole list of Google terms and usages. Its a bum deal and I will be going back to a flip phone as soon as my plan is up. Research what you are agreeing to, it may surprise you, or piss you off like it did me. Since then, every app that can be deleted off my phone, has been
BTW, Angry birds was one of the apps that wanted access to everything!!!!!
You can click on the permissions icon. Then click view all. The rest of the story will tell itself.
Can you play games like these on a computer? Or do you need a mobile phone?
