Wobbly Life lets you live out your dreams in ludicrous, physics-fuelled multiplayer adventure

Pocket Gamer RSS Feed3 min read(about 8 hours ago)

Overview & Key Takeaways

We've seen a lot of GTA-likes try to capture the chaos and scale of Los Santos on mobile, to mixed success. But whereas most try to make their anarchic cityscapes feel realistic, Wobbly Life goes entirely in the other direction. Available to purchase on iOS and Android, this physics-driven sandbox offers a chaotic multiplayer spin on open-world action. In Wobbly Life, you find yourself unceremoniously booted from your grandmother's home, where you've been living with one simple objective: get a job. But that's far from as simple as it seems: You'll be taking on everything from delivering pizza to venturing into space in your pursuit of a stable income! ... [MORE]

  • Wobbly Life now available to purchase on iOS and Android
  • Physics-fuelled chaos sees you getting a job after being kicked out of your house
  • But between delivering pizza, taking on aliens and even crazier, you'll have your work cut out for you

In Wobbly Life, you find yourself unceremoniously booted from your grandmother's home, where you've been living with one simple objective: get a job. But that's far from as simple as it seems: You'll be taking on everything from delivering pizza to venturing into space in your pursuit of a stable income!

Get wobbly

Even that description sort of undersells Wobbly Life, which I'd best describe as a mixture of Saints Row and Gang Beasts. Although even that undersells the fact that this is a true, open sandbox with nearly everything in it being interactive or tied to a larger mission in some way.

Of course, there are some drawbacks for those of you looking for the next GTA. This is primarily an all-ages game that doesn't take itself too seriously, and that wobbly (pun intended) style of movement and interactivity is sure to grate on those used to precise controls.

Equally, having launched to an Overwhelmingly Positive reception already on Steam, I can't help but imagine that Wobbly Life will garner a similar critical consensus as it hits iOS and Android, bringing the same anarchic chaos to fans on the go as those on PC have already enjoyed.

But Wobbly Life is far from the only major release you should have your eyeballs on this week. For the most interesting and worthwhile launches to play, why not check out our list of the top five new mobile games to try this week?

Heroic Legends Reborn is the product of two brothers rebuilding an MMO from the ground up

We all get nostalgic for games which other people seem to overlook. For me, it's Two Worlds (yeah, I know), and for two brothers, it's the now fifteen-year-old MMO Heroic Legends! So, what do you do when that game has disappeared? Well, if you're like them, you rebuild it yourself. With blessings from the original creators and access to the artwork used to create the hand-painted MMO, two brothers known as SonOfBoo and Andepher have recreated Heroic Legends from the ground up. Rechristened as Heroic Legends Reborn, it's slated to arrive on iOS and Android on September 5th. ... MORE(https://www.pocketgamer.com/heroic-legends-reborn/coming-soon/)

Nintendo’s War On Switch Emulators Continues With 400 More GitHub Takedowns🍄 Nintendo Switch, Mobile, Multi-platform

Nintendo’s War On Switch Emulators Continues With 400 More GitHub Takedowns

Nintendo is doing what Nintendo does: issuing DMCA takedown notices to anyone who illegally offers access to any of the company's games. That's exactly what happened earlier this week, as Nintendo wiped out over 400 Switch emulators from GitHub. According to an August 21 TorrentFreak report(https://torrentfreak.com/nintendo-wipes-out-400-switch-emulator-repos-in-single-day-github-sweep/), the Mario maker sent the proprietary developer platform seven DMCA takedown notices targeting Nintendo Switch emulator repositories. This includes Suyu (the Yuzu successor that became popular after Yuzu shut down(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-lawsuit-shuts-down-switch-emulator-yuzu-and-3ds-emulator-citra/1100-6521589/) in March 2024), the Android emulator Skyline, and a few lingering Yuzu forks. In total, some 401 repositories were nuked off GitHub, with 311 of them being Suyu. Now that they're removed, if you attempt to visit the repository on GitHub, you'll receive either a 404 error or a pop-up notification that it's been taken down. In the DMCA pop-up notification, Nintendo states that the targeted repositories "offer, link to, or otherwise provide access to Nintendo Switch emulators." The company said these emulators violate Technological Protection Measures (TPMs), which act as digital locks controlled by copyright owners to prevent copying data illegally. "Specifically, these Nintendo Switch emulators illegally circumvent Nintendo's TPMs in order to run illegal copies of Nintendo Switch games," the notice reads. "Nintendo Switch games are encrypted using proprietary cryptographic keys (prod.keys) which protect against unauthorized access to and copying of the copyrighted games. During operation, the emulators at the reported repositories necessarily use unauthorized copies of these cryptographic keys to decrypt unauthorized copies of Nintendo Switch games, or ROMs, at or immediately before runtime without Nintendo's authorization." With Nintendo summoning the Eye of Mario on 401 repositories earlier this week, and over 8,500 repositories in May 2024(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-shuts-down-yuzu-clones-in-ongoing-quest-to-kill-switch-emulation/1100-6523158/), this brings the company's repository death count to almost 9,000 on GitHub alone. And with Nintendo filing a lawsuit against Yuzu creator Tropic Haze in February 2024(https://kotaku.com/nintendo-zelda-tears-kingdom-switch-yuzu-emulate-pirate-1851293463), which resulted in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom(https://www.gamespot.com/games/the-legend-of-zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom/) being pirated over one million times before it launched, the company's war on emulators continues.
