Into the Dead from mobile publisher PikPok, for example, just passed 10 million downloads across iOS and Android devices, after five months on the market.

Into the Dead is an endless runner combined with a shooter, all set in the zombie apocalypse. It's free on iOS and Android, but a no-ad version of the game is available for $2 as an in-app purchase. And now for a thought experiment: If only 10 percent of players purchase the ad-free game, that's $2,000,000. Not bad for a 5-month-old.

If you want to bring Into the Dead to 10,000,001 downloads, head to the App Store or Google Play. Another PikPok game to pass 10 million downloads is Flick Kick Football. The Flick Kick series has clocked in more than 20 million downloads.

It's by far Adult Swim's most popular onilne Flash game, and not only is it available to play for free (in a few different forms) in your browser, but it's about a robot unicorn collecting fairies and dashing through star crystals while the 2009 remix of Erasure's "Always" plays in the background. Seriously, you better have played this.

The game's also spawned three different versions on iOS, including the original, a Heavy Metal version, and a special Christmas edition. But now the full numbered sequel has arrived on iPhones and iPads, and it's made by PikPok, the developers behind the excellent Monsters Ate My Condo games.

I'll hit the sourest note first: "Always" isn't in this one. At least not right away.

Velocirapture, a universal iOS app for iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad, charges players with guiding the hand of God to save all the good little dinosaurs during the dino-rapture. Sounds completely plausible.

As part of its launch, Velocirapture is available at a reduced price of $.99 until Monday, June 25. After Monday it'll set you back $1.99.

We love giant unicorns with an addiction to cosmetic surgery who used to front '80s rock bands but now work at self-esteem help lines. It's our kyrptonite. Previously exclusive to iOS platforms, PikPok's puzzle game is finally making its debut on Android. It's available right now in the Google Play Store for $.99.

That's amazingly convenient! The only inconvenient part of it is finding the right games to buy -- and that's where we come in, with our Portabliss column. In each installment, we'll tell you about a downloadable game on the iPhone, iPad, Android device, DSi, 3DS, PSP, etc. Today: Monsters Ate My Condo!.
I've always had a bad feeling about condos. I always thought of them as either the home of some lecherous old dude trying to do gross things or the set of some sitcom starring a bunch of lecherous old dudes. Now I know why I shied away from that style of dwelling: because monsters love to eat condos.

The latest brainchild of Adult Swim Games is a pretty-far-out-there title. In Monsters Ate My Condo, you feed condos in an apartment high-rise to gigantic, hungry monsters. It's as weird as it sounds, and we're just in love with the names of the four titular monsters: Boat Head, Reginald Starfire, Mr. Shigoto and Lord Ferocious.

The game is a universal iOS app, developed by PikPok for Adult Swim, and is currently available on the App store for $0.99 -- though it's only recommended for iPhone 3GS and up. Adult Swim has also partnered with Grumpyface Studios for another iOS game called Bring Me Sandwiches!!, which should be available for download later this month.
