Overview & Key Takeaways

While it may've been overshadowed by the launch of the exciting new Dragon Quest Smash/Grow (despite my personal reservations about it), one of the other most intriguing releases this week was Bacon in Zane. And now, it's out on iOS for you to see this wacky adventure for yourself! In Bacon in Zane, you play as, unsurprisingly, Zane. Or the human body process that eats his food, at least, as you guide pieces of bacon through the bizarre and anatomically impossible digestive system towards the end. This means twists, turns and labyrinthine means of consuming your chosen type of foodstuff. ... [MORE]

  • Bacon in Zane is now available on the iOS App Store

While it may've been overshadowed by the launch of the exciting new Dragon Quest Smash/Grow (despite my personal reservations about it), one of the other most intriguing releases this week was Bacon in Zane. And now, it's out on iOS for you to see this wacky adventure for yourself!

In Bacon in Zane, you play as, unsurprisingly, Zane. Or the human body process that eats his food, at least, as you guide pieces of bacon through the bizarre and anatomically impossible digestive system towards the end. This means twists, turns and labyrinthine means of consuming your chosen type of foodstuff.

You do so by controlling simple processes on each screen, such as moving bars, which guide the food deeper. Each is operated with a single tap, but you need to keep the bacon from ending up in dead ends or stomach acid and keep the whole process moving.

As noted by

Jupiter in her review

, Bacon in Zane is an often complex little puzzler with some frustrating moments. Which I find tends to be the case with comedy games, as you never know when the mechanics will get in the way of the intended humour.

However, if you need a glowing endorsement to go off, then Jupiter certainly seems to think there's plenty to enjoy here. And I have to admit, by all measures, the gameplay looks simple, fun and surprisingly engaging for something that you need only play with a single tap of your finger!

Still, if you want to complement Bacon in Zane with some other top picks that we've got for you, why not take a look at some of our lists? We've ranked the best puzzle games on iOS so you can diversify your palate with some other challenging brain-teasers.

ZombiSeed mixes Flower Zombies with relationship drama and card battles

The Blossom virus does not leave much room for a peaceful gardening career. It transforms the infected into beautiful, flesh-eating Flower Zombies, while those who resist becoming monsters awaken supernatural powers and become Hunters. That is where ZombiSeed begins. ZombiSeed comes from LemonVelvet, a four-person team based in South Korea, and it is still a fair way off. The Kickstarter opens on September 10th, with the iOS and Android release pencilled in for April 2027. Text will be available in English and Korean. The voice acting stays in Korean, covering selected main-story scenes and every Card Story. ... MORE(https://www.pocketgamer.com/zombiseed/announcement/)

Toy Wars: Survivor TD is a simple, cartoony and fast-paced RPG tower defence📱 Mobile

Toy Wars: Survivor TD is a simple, cartoony and fast-paced RPG tower defence

It's been a while since we had a good, straightforward tower defence on mobile, or at least one with an interesting spin alongside solid core gameplay. Fortunately, today it's developer Actionfit's turn to deliver with the newly released Toy Wars: Survivor TD for iOS and Android, though going under the name Toy Survivor - The War on the former. As you might expect, Toy Wars: Survivor TD is a mashup of Vampire Survivors and typical tower defence gameplay. You'll take on each level facing down a host of bizarre, butchered toys as the noble (and still intact) playthings yourself. Along the way, you'll upgrade your weapons and characters, working to survive each battle in turn. ... MORE(https://www.pocketgamer.com/toy-wars-survivor-td/out-now-on-mobile/)
