Knight Quest, the latest endeavour from Golden Bite Games is a chess inspired runner where you play as a Knight. It's coming to both iOS and Android later this month. It was previously known as Runnedrez where it impressed us last year. It's an interesting concept to blend chess with a runner that sees enemies trying to stop you who are bound by their chess rules. A bishop will only be able to catch you on a diagonal whereas a queen will be a threat from multiple angles at presumably any range. By the looks of the trailer, it will still be turned based with the enemies moving after you've chosen where you're going next. ... [MORE]

Turbo Edition exclusively to their app. This makes it the second Hatch Original after Arkanoid Rising. It's available now but you will need to have a Hatch premium subscription to play it. Angry Birds Go! Turbo Edition is a reworking of an existing game, as you've probably guessed from the name. The original Angry Birds Go! launched in 2013.
