In this week’s episode of The TouchArcade Show, we power through conversations about smart gyms and wearable heart monitors to be able to bring the newest, greatest, and the most effective in iPhone and iPad. On the top of the show, we dive into oral reviews of a bunch of cool games, including Brainsss and King of Fighters 2012. Later, we ponder if the free-to-play market is about to collapse and dig into the realities of development in a market that only wants 99¢ stuff.

InstaGamer is a great companion to Instagram that lets you play the traditional matching game with photos from Instagram
InstaGamer is a fun iPhone and iPad game that’s just like the classic matching game, only the things being matched are instagram photos. You can play with photos from the popular feed, specific tags, your own feed or photos, or photos you’ve liked.

Before you play a game, you must select which photo set you want to play from. The popular and featured sets come with InstaGamer for free. The featured set lets you choose from a list of popular tags.
In exchange for $0.99 as an in-app purchase, you can play with photos from your feed (the people you follow), your photos, photos you liked, or search for a specific tag.
After you’ve chosen your set, InstaGamer to choose 20 random photos from that set. Once it’s done, you can scroll through all the photos before tapping play. This is probably a good idea so that you’re familiar with the photos before starting the game. It might be helpful to know if there’s any similar looking photos. Not to mention, it’s a great way to look at Instagram photos!

Each game is a four by five grid with two copies of each of the 10 photos and you simply tap the squares to flip over the photos. You choose photos in groups of two, and if they don’t match, both of them flip back over. When a match is made, those photos permanently stay facing up. Once all the photos are matched up, you’ve won!
At the end of each game, you are given a score somewhere between 0 and 1. Specifically, this number is 10 (the number of pairs) divided by the number of tries it took you to win. So the closer you are to 1, the better you did. As you play more games, you’ll see your scores charted on a graph so you can see if you’re improving. You’ll also be given a quote that is somehow related to you score. For example: “What’s got nothing on you!”, “Nice Work!”, and “A honeybee can fly at 15 mph” are all quotes that I’ve seen.
The Good Very fun Neat sounds Can access popular and featured sets for free Looks amazing Full version is only $0.99 The Bad Doesn’t support landscape orientation The Conclusion
InstaGamer is a great twist to the classic matching game. Using you and your friend’s photos makes the game much more interesting and the little words of encouragement make you want to play over and over again. Although you have to spend $1 play with photos from your feed, it’s worth that $1.

Here’s another gem to add to your puzzle game collection – Polymer for iPhone. In Polymer, your goal is create shapes, called polymers, by sliding around the rows and columns. A polymer isn’t complete unless all the ends (which are marked with black dots) are closed.
As I was playing polymer and thinking about what I was going to say in this review, my mind kept wandering into thoughts of a Rubik’s Cube and the similarities on has have with Polymer. I was pleased to discover Polymer’s description in the App Store claims the game “combines the logic of Rubik’s Cube, the sliding mechanism of Chuzzle, and the creativity of Lego.” Bingo – that’s a perfect description.

Polymer has three game modes, but only one of them is initially available. It’s called Two Minutes, and as its name implies, you are given two minutes to create as many polymers as you can. To create a polymer, you simply slide around the rows and columns to match up the pieces. All the black dots on the pieces must be connected for a polymer to be complete — or, as I like to think of it, all the ends must be closed up. Larger polymers give more points.
The more you play, the more points you earn and the more features you can unlock, including additional shapes (which make game-play more difficult), and more game modes. If you’re impatient, you can also unlock these features with in-app purchases, but it’s not required.

The other two game modes are called One Polymer and Bombs. In One Polymer, you have as much time as you want to create the biggest, highest point-value polymer that you can. In Bombs, you must destroy the pieces that are bombs before they destroy you. Again, these game modes will be unlocked as you earn more points by playing the game, or you can unlock them for $0.99 each.
There is also an in-app store where you can purchase other color schemes for $0.99 each, or you can unlock all content, including all game modes and color schemes for $2.99.
The Good Very fun and challenging Great music and sound effects In-app purchases aren’t required to gain content More color schemes available as in-app purchases The Bad Two minutes is great, but would love to see longer time options The Conclusion
Polymer is my new go-to puzzle game. It’s a lot of fun and very challenging. Combined with the beautiful colors and awesome music and sound effects — I’m hooked.
