Capcom, once the titan of the 1990s console game, is now making waves in the app market. That makes sense; they don't have to compete with marquee games and can play to their strengths: nice graphics and effective gameplay. Glo Flois a cute and addictive little number as you connect glow-worms by dragging the light across the screen from one to another. You can't cross paths, so the key is to link these insects with their partners without blocking the path for other connections. It's tricky – the more connections you make, the more paths you create, and the more restricted the screen becomes. Like the best app games, this is a simple and deceptively clever concept. Naturally, the puzzles get incrementally more difficult, but there's also an option for a time-trial game. Oh, and unlike many puzzle games, this one offers hints. Thank you!
