Mr Karoshi and Whale Trail hit Xperia Play

The gaming smartphone gets a couple of upgraded titles this week, Mr Karoshi is a game with a sick twist where the aim is to die as often and painfully as possible. Mr Karoshi is an overworked Japanese salaryman who's had enough and his only goal is to end it all. You control him to work through the fast logic puzzles trying to find ways to bring about his demise in this highly original, puzzle, platformer with a twist.




Whale Trail is at the other end of the taste spectrum, a psychedelic, surreal and charming flying game! Take to the skies, loop the loop, collect power ups, smash enemies, discover new lands and make friends along the way. Offering game modes and Scoreloop worldwide leaderboards, Whale Trail is one of the most intense and addictive games, which will keep you coming back for more. Choose from the surreal endless Classic Mode or unlock stars in 32 bite-size Challenge Levels.



Both titles can be had for mere pence on the Android marketplace.
