TWIP (This Week I'm Playing) is a reoccurring weekly post where I highlight a game or app that I have been playing recently. This won't necessarily be about new games, just ones that have my attention this week.
This Week I'm Playing
The Last Rocket by
Shaun Inman. This game has been out for a while, but I recently picked it up and have been loving it. The 8-bit graphics easily drew me in, but the interesting new control scheme and deep puzzles have kept me busy.

The game is 'cute', has style, and the music is superb. There is even a 'sound test' section in the settings, something that retro gamers are familiar with and reminiscent for. Now-a-days you have to buy the soundtrack as a separate purchase, but with The Last Rocket you get the whole thing for free, accessible from the menu. It's good music too.

The early puzzles look simple, but quickly ramp up in difficulty and requires thought and timing. I'm really impressed at a game that isn't following the norm lately of a free download with in-app-purchases for tokens or coins that lead to upgrades. This is simple a great game with plenty of levels, and a fair price.
