With so many Angry Bird clones, it’s nice to see a game in the same genre take a new turn. Enter Sprinkle by Mediocre Games. Inhabitants of Titan are burning, and need you to man a water canon to put out the fires. Realistic water physics and clever puzzles make for some intriguing gameplay with this little puzzler. You can pick the game up for $0.99 on iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad, and get 22 levels of play. Unlock more levels for $0.99 or by earning enough points on each level on the previous world.

Com2uS has decided to go the way of the Tamagotchi, and released MiniGame Paradise. Play with 35 different cartoon animals in over 70 mini-games with one-touch control schemes. Games range from puzzle to arcade style games, and features include clothes for your characters and decorations for their houses. MiniGame Paradise is $2.99 for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad, and includes some in-app purchases as well.

Lastly, Nevosoft has released Landgrabbers, a real-time medieval strategy game for the iPad and claims to be recognized as the Best Casual Game of the Year at the 2011 Russian Game Developers Conference. The game features 36 levels in four locations and is free. However, the game page also states that the full version can be purchased for $4.99, implying that the free version is really just a short demo.

• LandGrabbers: real time medieval conquest strategy
• MiniGame Paradise
• Sprinkle: Water splashing fire fighting fun!

• A review of Bubble Troll, by Broken Switch Studios. The idea of a physics-based platformer using tapping to guide your character down a stream is a great idea. Unfortunately, the lack of precision within levels requiring it makes Bubble Trolls less fun overall.
  
• Also, a review of Catch the Candy, published by BulkyPix. Catch the Candy is a fun puzzler with great strategic aspects and cute graphics that makes you come back for one more taste.
  
• Plus, a review of Inotia 3, published by Com2uS. Inotia 3 has the best storyline of the series with great character interaction and music, but suffers from substandard graphics and annoying movement methods in the game.
