I'm not usually one to play phone games, but when my PS Vita and 3DS were tragically stolen I had to make do for my handheld needs. Burrito Bison is a game I first played years ago, and just as before, I was addicted for a few days before deleting it out of frustration.

The game oozes personality with its Newgrounds aesthetic, and for a short time it's actually quite fun to play. Unfortunately, its high-flying hijinks soon come crashing down thanks to aggressive monetization, stunted progression and a surprisingly small amount of substance. If Launcha Libre was a paid game with more actual levels, I'd think more kindly of it. As it is, this is a game that asks you to pay several dollars for power-ups that last only a few rounds of about 45 seconds each. Not very scrupulous, and a damn shame for a game with such personality.
