Sometimes there's nothing quite like the refreshing change of simply not playing the stereotypical hero. In Rhythm Thief and the Paris Caper (Sega, iOS, £6.99) you are Raphael – a dancing Parisian burglar, portrayed in bold cartoon style. The jaunty music blunts the edge of any criminal undertakings and the sound goes on to take on greater importance as the action gets under way. Played through a series of swiping and tapping rhythm tasks and puzzles, coordination is key to success as you progress and collect accomplices, who endow Raphael with different bonuses. If there's one complaint it's the entirely redundant necessity to be online while playing – it adds nothing and is a serious bugbear on a mobile title. Castle Doombad (Grumpyface, iOS, £1.99) similarly casts players as a ne'er-do-well, Dr Lord Evilstein, who must prevent the hero from rescuing the princess – a nice twist on traditional gaming mechanics. In essence a tower-defence title, it's spread vertically through a castle, rather than across a sprawling map. As the good guys attack through windows and doors you use a dazzling variety of traps and tools to stop them. All can be upgraded to see off the pleasingly diverse cast of foes (from Rambo types to super-powered do-gooders). With surprising depth, Doombad proves that occasionally it's good to be bad.
