Rainbow Islands

Cuter than a bag of puppies, this big, tricky platform number scales new heights in hollow-eyed addictiveness. Five islands of jolly villains stand between you and your best beloved, and you've naught but a handful of magic rainbows to see you to the end. Dashing up through the clean and colourful vertical scrolling, ever a step ahead of the rising water, you'll find the major problem is actually bringing yourself to expunge the twee baddies.

Sweetness aside, this is a game that will keep you playing until you beat it. Stop dithering over the damage it will do to your public image and buy it immediately, along with a flashy new phone that you can make a point of leaving off the hook.
