At the beginning of February, Ravenous Games released League of Evil [99�/Lite], a fast-paced platforming game with a retro look and feel. We liked League of Evil quite a bit in our review, noting its well-designed levels, fantastic pixel art, and solid controls. League of Evil originally came with 54 levels to play through, with several goals to attain on each that offered a nice amount of replay value. Just a couple of weeks following release, the game was updated with 30 additional levels themed after fellow developer Halfbot's The Blocks Cometh [$1.99], as well as 18 "impossible" levels that came with a brutal degree of difficulty.

Over the weekend, League of Evil received its second substantial content update that brings another new episode filled with 30 brand new jungle-themed levels. This update also brings online leaderboard that join the already implemented OpenFeint achievements. There's a leaderboard for each of the 4 episodes � Weapons of Mass Destruction, The Blocks Cometh, The Impossible Missions, and Welcome to the Jungle � and once you've completed every level in an episode your total completion time for that episode will be uploaded online.

The App Store is a veritable smorgasbord of great platformers, and since release League of Evil has hovered near the very top of the list for me. With all of the new levels from these last 2 updates that have more than doubled the size of the original release, it just keeps getting better. Plus, Ravenous Games has said in our forums that they are currently working on a level editor for League of Evil that will come with the ability to share created levels. There's no set release for this feature, but the prospect of creating my own levels has me really excited.

If you haven't yet picked up League of Evil, now would be a great time to do so as it's supposed to jump up in price with this latest update to $2.99, but as of this writing can still be bought for just 99�. The price can change at any moment though, so best to act quickly if you're interested in buying the game, and don't forget there's a free lite version to try as well.

When an off-shore oil rig accidentally drills right into the head of a giant red sea creature named Destructopus, the monster awakens to find that its beloved planet Earth is being ravaged with pollution by the human race. To right this wrong, Destructopus does the 2 things he knows best: destroys the many man-made structures that are polluting the environment, and kills the humans that are exploiting nature's cute and cuddly creatures. Such is the story of the aptly titled Destructopus!, an upcoming game from developer Glitchsoft.

Destructopus! is a side-scrolling arcade game where you'll control the lumbering red behemoth as he lays waste to anything and everything in his path. Destructopus can use his mighty jaws, claw-like tentacle, or eye laser to destroy the many structures in the game as well as fling around the vehicles and humans on the ground and in the air. It feels like a throwback to the classic arcade game Rampage, with a ton of little details in the environments and many elements to interact with.

Destroying things is not only fun, but will earn Destructopus green orbs which can be used in an in-game shop to purchase upgrades and will also determine how many stars out of 3 you will score for a level. While many of the upgrades can be bought with these green orbs, some of the more interesting sounding ones are only available by in-app purchases, which is kind of a bummer.

We've had a preview build of Destructopus! for the past couple of weeks, and have been enjoying it quite a bit so far. The mechanics are pretty simple and at times it can feel a bit button mashy, but causing a huge amount of destruction is very satisfying. Plus, in later levels the enemies increase in quantity and difficulty, requiring quite a bit more strategy and upgrading in order to succeed. Destructopus! has already been approved by Apple and is slated to release on May 3rd. Until then you can check out the discussion of the game in our forums and we'll take a closer look at this title when it hits the App Store.
