Touch Arcade: Pocket Frogs [Free], Tiny Tower [Free], Pocket Planes [Free]… Nimblebit’s gotten pretty good at keeping us enraptured on our devices with cute graphics and pixelated timers. With Nimble Quest [$0.99], the team takes a turn towards improving upon and deepening a classic arcade experience. Less of a time-management title and more of an action-oriented experience Nimble Quest is an excellent title that continues the trend of high quality games coming out of Nimblebit.

With the amount of things that can be upgraded and the characters to be unlocked with various stages, this game is a fun pick-up-and-play game with the game ending only when everything has been obtained.
When we look back at 2013 in years to come, it will surely be remembered as the year indie gaming on the iPad truly came of age. A year when the line between big console and PC titles, and iPad games, was hard to distinguish. Where the biggest names in game development left big publishers to form indie studios, and work on indie games that flooded the App Store with quality. Whether it was free or paid, a horror or a racer, funny or thoughtful, a game for guys or a game for girls, 2013 was never short of something awesome to play. Grab It Magazine has put together its best of 2013; have you played them all?
Pretty impressive year for indie gaming. You could go a whole year now without touching anything from a major publisher and still have a really awesome year of gaming.
