The nigh-unpronounceable rymdkapsel ($3.99) is equal parts Tetris and tower defense, a premise that I realize makes absolutely no sense. It's good though, so bear with me for a minute.
You're tasked with building a space station out of rooms constructed from randomly selected tetrominoes, juggling resources and expanding to explore the galaxies. It's the brainchild of grapefrukt games, and is a genre-bending treat that deserves your attention.
The controls are simple: just drag and drop bits around to build rooms and assign tasks to your minions. Corridors serve as a sort of arterial network, linking rooms and allowing your minions to travel about, hauling resources or getting some construction done. The reactor produces energy, while an extractor harvests building supplies from nodes strewn about the map. There's also a garden that produces sludge, which you'll convert into food at a kitchen. You'll also need to build quarters and supply them with food, to add new minions to your ranks.
