One Man Left has been hard at work improving Tilt to Live [$2.99] since its initial release earlier this year. Tilt to Live is a tilt-controlled survival game where you must avoid and/or eliminate an endless onslaught of red dots. We loved the game in our review, and since then there have been two substantial updates to add even more content in to the game. The previous update included code red and gauntlet mode, and the latest update added the new frostbite mode.

When playing Tilt to Live in frostbite mode, red dots fall from the top of the screen but they're frozen as if they had been hit by one of the freeze bombs. You must run in to them to shatter them before they hit the bottom of the screen and are thawed. This new mode also introduces a new power-up which will allow you to shoot a wall of fire across the screen and burn any dot that floats through it. The latest update includes an array of various tweaks and iOS 4 bug fixes as well.

If you have yet to pick up Tilt to Live, now is a fantastic time to do so. I fully recommended this game when it was first released and only included the classic mode. With three additional game modes thrown in to the mix since then along with some new power-ups to play with, I really don't see Tilt to Live ever getting deleted from my phone.

Developer MadFinger Games has just announced a followup to the popular hack 'n slash title Samurai: Way of the Warrior. We reviewed the game when it was released in September of last year and found it to be an incredibly stylish (and incredibly difficult) action game with intuitive swipe controls. With plenty of awards and high review marks from around the web, as well as three quarter of a million copies downloaded, a sequel to Samurai seems like a no-brainer.

Yesterday MadFinger started a thread in our upcoming games forum to dish out some new info and screens from the upcoming sequel, titled Samurai II: Vengeance. Here is the info straight from the developer, along with some work-in-progress screens from the iPad version (click for full size):

Samurai II: Vengeance boasts twice the gameplay of the first release and features larger levels
