Forbidden Desert Out Now On iOS

Indie developer Button Mash Games has officially released Forbidden Desert on iOS. The game, which is originally a board game, has players working together to survive:

Your mission to recover a legendary flying machine has just been thrown into chaos. An unexpected sand storm has forced your helicopter to make a crash landing. Now, stranded in the vast desert and exposed to an unrelenting storm, your only hope for survival is to quickly excavate the ancient city, find the parts to the flying machine, and rebuild it to escape.

You can download the game on iOS right here, and can also check out Forbidden Island, the first game in the series. Let us know the comments what you think!

What Did TorontoGameDevs.com Patreon's Get In November?

As I've been doing the last few months, I'm going to do a personal plug here. You can check out the posts for September, and October as well.

For 3 dollars you can access to articles at least 24 hours earlier. For starters, I did a preview for Fortified from Clapfoot Games. I really enjoyed it, and you can check out the preview here.  I was also fortunate enough to interview Alex at PixelNAUTS, which you can read here.  There were also a couple of podcast episodes this month that Patreons got early.

On the games front, Patreon's were also well treated.  First up Phantom PI from Rocket 5 Studios was given to all Patreon's. You can buy the game on iOS here.  There was also Super Indie Karts from One Legged Seagull.  Finally, to round off the month, Button Mash Games provided our Patreons with iOS codes for Forbidden Island, which you can also pick up here.

Thanks to all the developers who provided codes, as well as to all of our Patreons! You can get early access, and free games by signing up here.

Pocket Tactics Previews Forbidden Desert On iOS

The developers behind the iOS version of the board game Forbidden Island, Toronto based Button Mash Games, are working away at the next installment Forbidden Desert.  The gang over at Pocket Tactics previewed the game and is worth a read if you enjoy playing board games on your phone/tablet.

Forbidden Desert puts you in charge of a team of adventurers scouring the desert for pieces of a legendary flying machine. Pieces are not hidden on the board, but are uncovered as you find clues in the desert. Where two clues intersect, the flying machine detritus will be found. Of course, it’s not that easy. There’s a brutal sandstorm that threatens to bury everything even deeper under the desert sand. Like all good cooperative games, there are several ways to lose and only one way to win. Here, you can lose if any adventurer dies of thirst, if the sand gets too deep, or if the clues get swept away by the sandstorm itself. To win, you must find all the pieces of the flying machine and use it to fly to more temperate climes.

The game is expected to hit the App Store 'soon', and while online multiplayer won't be available at launch it will come as a free update.  You can buy Forbidden Island on iOS right now by clicking here, and can check out the full preview of Forbidden Desert here.
