Editor's Note: We'd like to acknowledge
the relative dearth of Android content in the round-up this month. We didn't find many
games that particularly leapt out as extraordinary, although it's entirely possible
we missed some. If you did find a great Android game from July, please feel
free to let us know about it in the comments -- and, as always, you can skip to
the final slide for a list of games that were ported to Android from iOS recently.
Mountain by David O'Reilly
-- the artist who created the hologram animations for the video game in Spike
Jonze's "Her" -- won't be for everyone, for the simple reason that there's not
really a lot to do in it. There's no shooting, exploring, puzzle-solving; the
world is distilled to you and your creation, a mountain floating alone in
space, in a bubble of atmosphere. You can watch artefacts grow on its surface,
listen to its thoughts, observe weather. Tapping the bottom of the screen
produces a two-octave keyboard where you can compose little tunes. Critics have
penned long articles about the meaning of the game, but for us the beauty is in
its simplicity: it's just you and the mountain, pondering the meaning of
existence. It's almost a blank slate: you only get out of it what you want to
put in.
