Summery Games For Your Entertainment

Summer is already here and some lucky people are already enjoying your holidays! At Bee Square we are still working all hard preparing the new and much improved version of Run Sheldon. While you’re waiting, I have asked the rest of the team for a list of games that reminds them of summer that are perfect to play while you enjoy a cold drink, a sunbathing session at the beach or at the swimming pool (but remember not to let your devices get wet while you’re in the water!) Below are our recommendations to add a little more fun to your summer!

Threes!

This tiny puzzle release was at the beginning of the year and is perfect to play anytime anywhere. With a beautiful, clean interface and simple mechanics, Threes! just requires the ability to swipe up, down, left, or right. Although reaching a high score will require a little bit more effort.

Ridiculous Fishing

With a 90s flavor, Ridiculous Fishing is lots of fun. You start off as a man, named Billy, sitting on a boat in the middle of the sea. When the fishing starts, you drop your line and try to get as deep as you can while trying to catch as many fish as possible. Once the fish is in the air, it’s time to shoot! A fun and crazy game, gorgeously designed.

Fruit Ninja

With all the heat and the long time exposure to the sun, you are gonna need to rehydrate and get some vitamins, and nothing could be better than slicing up some fruit! The successful game from Halfbrick Studios really fits the summery mood.   

Hungry Shark Evolution

Maybe not the best game to play if you are going to spend the summer at the beach as it could make you a little be paranoid! This great game from Future Games of London will entertain you for hours while you swim around the ocean. Eats lots of fish, people and anything else you find in your way!

Boom Beach

The last game from Supercell set to an archipelago background. Your mission will be freeing islands while exploring them. The spiritual successor of Clash of Clans will transport you to the Tropic, even if you’re spending your holidays far away from it.

Gamelab 2014

This year Gamelab turned 10 years old and is a clear example of the good health of the Spanish gaming industry. What started as a small national event has grown into an international event that nobody in the industry wants to miss.

Even though the conferences are the main focus of the event there were many more things to do and see in Gamelab. This year there was an entire floor for indie developers where people had the chance to see and try games still in development such as Rise & Shine from Super Awesome Hyper Dimensional Mega Team and Heart & Slash from AHeartfulGames alongside successful crowdfunded games such as Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today from Fictiorama, The Last Door from The Game Kitchen and Gods Will Be Watching from Deconstructeam. These are just some examples of the high quality games that we had the chance to try!

We also attended the Spanish Awards ceremony where the big winners were Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 from MercurySteam which won 3 prizes and Los Ríos de Alice from Delirium Studios and Full Mojo Rampage from Over the Top Games which won 2 prizes each.

Overall, we had an amazing time at Gamelab where we also had the chance to meet new people and do some networking. There are many talented people in the industry that are worth knowing and to share experiences and stories! For us this is one of the best things about Gamelab. We hope to see you all next year!
