85: Getting Ahead by Being Evil

May 3, 2016

Hang onto your hats, ladies and gents! Anna and Jessica played one of the Candy Crush games. You can pick your jaw up off the floor now and have no fear, we played other stuff too :)

In other news, it turns out there are some good reasons for why touch controls can be so bad. But we’re not letting developers totally off the hook just yet.

And can the founder of Atari make great mobile games? He certainly seems to think so, but what do we think?

Please rate and review us on iTunes, follow us on Twitter (and follow Jessica and Anna too), like us on Facebook and email us if you think you can save mobile games so Nolan Bushnell doesn’t have to :-p
