Teleport, Turf, Tasty, and other apps to check out this weekend
July 29, 2017 by RSS Feed
This week’s edition of our Apps of the week roundup features a new AI-based photo editor, an app for quickly finding your group at a large event, and a new twist on the digital recipe book. And as always, we’ve selected two great new games for you to check out.
Teleport
Teleport is a new, interesting app that allows you to edit live photos using artificial intelligence. No, we’re not talking about adding animal ears or swapping faces—this app lets you change your hair color, alter your backdrop, blur the background and more. The interface is intuitive and well-designed, and as far as I can tell, the AI-based effects are impressive. Teleport is available for free.
Turf
Turf is a simple, but smart app that acts as a compass towards where you want to go. Imagine you’re meeting a friend at a ballgame, or a musical festival. Well instead of sending countless texts back and forth, or making hard-to-hear phone calls, the people can simply send a point-of-interest using Turf, and your app will take you straight to it. I know other, more robust maps apps allow you to share your location, but this is more straight-to-the-point (no pun intended). Plus no account is required. Turf is available for free.
Tasty
BuzzFeed’s new Tasty app features all 1,700+ Tasty videos and a new Step-By-Step instruction mode that explains how to cook every recipe. The “My Recipes” page serves as your own personal cookbook and an innovative Search tool allows you to filter recipes by ingredient, cuisine, and social occasion. You can even filter out recipes with restrictions like vegan, gluten-free, low carb, healthy and comfort food. Easy is available for free.
NEO Scavenger
Play the acclaimed PC survival RPG on your iPhone or iPad. NEO Scavenger is a game where you must survive in the wasteland long enough to figure out who you are. Each turn, you must decide where to go, how to scavenge for supplies, and how to deal with anything and anyone you encounter. And with each passing minute, the pit in your stomach grows, your dehydration worsens, your muscles tire, and your body temperature drops in the cold autumn air. Choose your starting abilities carefully, because they and your wit are the only tools you have in the apocalypse! NEO Scavenger is available free (with a single IAP to unlock the full game).
Vista Golf
Vista Golf is a simple but elegant mini golf game, defined by crisp controls and the endless competition of new courses every week. We wanted to create the purest form of mini golf in your pocket, so if you seek both fun an frustration, this is the game for you. Features include Competitive Mode, Infinite (arcade) Mode, leaderboards, and weekly updates. I know there are a ton of golf games out there already, but this one seems worth checking out. Vista Golf is available for free.

Move With the Flow in the Puzzling Linelight
July 28, 2017 by RSS Feed
Linelight ($1.99) by BT Productions is a minimalist puzzle game that challenges and soothes you at the same time. If you enjoyed recent titles like Resynth and Stolen Thunder, then you will love what Linelight brings to iOS.
When I want to relax, I usually turn to puzzles to clear my head. Whether it’s a match-three RPG like Match Land or a mystery that needs to be solved like Layton’s Mystery Journey, I love them all. Even though I need to unwind, I prefer to keep my brain going with some stimulation, so puzzles always end up being my go-to.
When I first saw Linelight at GDC last year, I fell in love with it immediately. I spent a good amount of time on the demo, and after I decided to move on to something else, I knew this was a game I wanted on mobile. It was perfect. And to my surprise this week, it’s finally here.

Stolen Thunder - A Unique Action Puzzle Adventure
Jason Nowak
Visually, Linelight’s incredibly minimalistic, yet super elegant. The game consists of gorgeous gradient backdrops that represent deep space, along with simple and clean lines and shapes. Honestly, it’s sounds so basic but it’s done so well that it’s beautiful to look at. There’s also mesmerizing particle effects that happen when you get fried, or when an enemy dies, and even as you move to the next area. All animations are super smooth and fluid, with no lag issues on my iPhone 7. Linelight also has a soothing, ambient soundtrack that is a delight to listen to, and it’s integral to the overall experience.
There are six worlds in Linelight, and they’re simply labeled as “a,” “b,” and “c.” Each one contains a series of stages that players must traverse through and clear before moving on. However, what makes Linelight so special is the fact that each section of the puzzle seamlessly transitions into the next, so it feels like one huge puzzle.
If you access the game menu and choose “level select,” you can see pulsating circles that represent the official start of a new stage. This is also a good way to preview how much of a world you have left.
The goal in Linelight is to help a single beam of light travel along pipe-like structures safely while avoiding hazards and enemies. The only interaction in Linelight is movement, and you do this by dragging your finger on the screen to direct the light on where to go. When you lift your finger off the screen, it stops. The levels have been tweaked so that mobile controls work flawless, and it shows.
In order to safely guide the light beam, you have to time your movements carefully. This is because you may need to toggle switches to move colored pipes around, gather keys to access locked sectors, and more, all while avoiding the red patrols. There are bonus orange diamonds to collect too, and they’re just part of the puzzle. If you die, there’s no penalty — just tap on the screen to try again.
While Linelight looks easy on the surface, the puzzles get progressively more difficult as you go. There’ll be multiple enemies to worry about at once, multiple colored pipe switches, gates, and more. It’s soothing, but also challenging at the same time.
Linelight is puzzle perfection.
Linelight is beautifully crafted and a must for any puzzle fan. The game looks fantastic with the minimal aesthetic, and the music is a joy to hear. The one finger control makes the game accessible to anyone, and it’s super easy to pick up. Compared to a gamepad (as I did with the GDC demo), the touch controls feel more intuitive. Linelight’s puzzles can be deceptively challenging, but it’s always welcome for me. And since there’s no penalty for deaths and plenty of secrets to find, there’s plenty of replay value.
Honestly, there isn’t much about Linelight that isn’t likable. Unless you just dislike all puzzle games for no reason, Linelight is pretty much perfection. If anything, I do wish that it was possible to select a specific section to replay, because the level select only shows off the start of stages.
When I first saw Linelight at GDC, I was intrigued. The moment I picked up the controller and played it, I fell in love. Now that it’s on iOS, I am in love yet again. The game is pretty much perfect with the exquisite design, calming music, and the controls work out nicely. I was a bit worried about how the control scheme would translate to mobile, but it just feels natural. The puzzles are fun, addictive, and more challenging as you advance. There is a ton of content and replay value, so you are getting your money’s worth here.
I highly recommend Linelight to anyone who wants a relaxing and seamless puzzle game. Linelight is available on the App Store as a universal download for $1.99.

Layton’s Mystery Journey is Delightfully Charming
July 27, 2017 by RSS Feed
Layton’s Mystery Journey ($15.99) by Level-5 is the latest game in the Layton series, which is also just in time for the 10th anniversary of the franchise. If you love a good hidden object puzzle game, then Layton’s Mystery Journey is one you must check out. This installment came out on iOS and Android last week, with a Nintendo 3DS version later this fall.
While I doubt that I’ll ever be good enough to be a real detective, I enjoy a good mystery that gets my head gears turning. Fortunately, I can play the part of a detective without any special training thanks to video games, which is why I was drawn in to Layton’s Mystery Journey. To be honest though, I haven’t played any previous Professor Layton games, so this is my first foray into the franchise. I’m a big puzzle fan, so it’s always been a game series I’ve wanted to check out, but never got around to it. Now that a full Layton game is on iOS, I knew that this was the perfect opportunity to give the game a spin.

LAYTON BROTHERS MYSTERY ROOM
Level-5 Inc.
Layton’s Mystery Journey
Level-5 Inc.
Visually, Layton’s Mystery Journey fits in with the other games because of the cartoonish art style. Throughout the game, players will find lively character sprites that appear as though they came out of an old-school anime series, like Lupin the 3rd. Everyone has their own unique appearances, personalities, and quirks, which you’ll grow to love the more you play. Colors in Layton’s Mystery Journey are bright and vibrant, with lush and detailed environments. There are also fully animated cutscenes that play out and reveal the story, which are fun to watch. A subtle, soothing soundtrack plays in the background, and there are delightful sound effects as you move around the city, talk to characters, and explore for clues.
In Layton’s Mystery Journey, rather than taking on the role of Professor Layton, players are introduced to a new character, Katrielle Layton. She’s just starting out on her detective career, and gets slammed with several interesting cases to take on all at once. But don’t be distracted by the little things — the bigger case reveals itself, and it ends up being the search for her missing father, Professor Hershel Layton. There will be a lot of searching for hidden objects and clues, and many puzzles await players as they try and solve the case.
For those who have never played a Layton game before, the controls are pretty easy to learn and feel intuitive on the touch screen. To view the map of the city, tap on the “Return to Map” button, and then you’re able to tap on the orange circles to travel to that area.
When you enter a scene, you’re able to move a magnifying glass around by sliding your finger. When there’s something that you can investigate further, it will turn orange and you can tap it. If you’re able to zoom in on a particular spot, the magnifying glass has a plus (+) symbol that you can tap on and get a better view. Sometimes the magnifying glass will find a spot that has puffs of dust — this means there’s an object for you there, such as a hint coin (for puzzles) or a collectible item that isn’t related to the case at hand.
There’s a lot of reading involved with Layton’s Mystery Journey, as with any Layton game. It’s important to read the dialogue between characters, because this is where you get big clues to solve a case. When a key clue’s revealed, Katrielle gets a “clue piece” that you’ll need to fit properly into a shape. There are always six major clues that you need before you solve a case.
Sometimes as you examine scenes, you’ll discover puzzles related to the case. Each puzzle is worth a certain number of points, which get tallied up into your total. The number of points drops slightly if you’re unsuccessful and keep reattempting to solve it. Controls for each puzzle vary slightly, but it usually involves tapping switches, rotating and moving pieces around, or even answering riddles. There’s a lot of variety to the types of puzzles in Layton’s Mystery Journey, but they’re all bound to get your brain into high gear.
Layton’s Mystery Journey has support for up to three game saves, and you must manually save if you care about keeping your progress in tact. Fortunately, the game’s menu is easily accessible at any time, and this is where you can view case files, collectibles, change outfits, and other things in Katrielle’s purse.
Layton's Mystery Journey is a delightful hidden object puzzle game that will charm anyone.
Layton’s Mystery Journey has an engrossing storyline that is sure to hook anyone, even newbies, right from the start. The graphics are sharp and crisp with the anime style, and the sound design is great. Controls are simple and easy for anyone to learn. The puzzles are pretty challenging and will provide players with plenty of entertainment for hours. Plus, there are daily puzzles for those who want extra goodies and other mini-games.
While Layton’s Mystery Journey is incredibly good, it isn’t for everyone. If you don’t like tricky puzzles or get frustrated easily, then this game may not be for you. There is also a lot of text involved. Also, the price point seems a bit high for an iOS game, considering that this will also be available on the Nintendo 3DS later this year. With a price like this, some may think it’s better waiting for the 3DS version.
Since this is my first Layton game, I do not have previous knowledge of the series before I dove into this one. However, as a complete newbie, I’m enjoying it highly so far. The puzzles are a bit tricky but do make me think. The visual style and animations look fantastic. Even as a newcomer, I’m finding the characters to be full of fun and charm. I found the story captivating and immersive from the get-go too, which doesn’t always happen.
I highly recommend giving Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionares’ Conspiracy a try if you’re looking for a lengthy mystery puzzle game. Layton’s Mystery Journey is available on the App Store as a universal download for your iPhone and iPad for $15.99. The game is also coming to Nintendo 3DS in the fall.
