Apps to check out this weekend: Noted, How Many Saturdays? and more

March 26, 2016 by macjeff

It’s been a long week. Apple introduced a new iPhone, a new iPad, new Apple Watch accessories and it also released several software updates for its various platforms. So now that it’s the weekend, it’s time to kick up your feet, relax and check out some new apps and games. And as usual, we’ve put together a great list of suggestions for you.

Noted

Noted is a social music discovery app that helps you find music you like from people you know. It’s essentially a social stream of music chosen by your friends, and a “special sauce” that learns your musical tastes as you interact. Think “Pandora powered by people” or a “cross between Instagram and Spotify.” Sure, we’ve seen a number of these social music apps come and go over the years, but one of them has to stick, right? This app is available for free.

Calco 2

This isn’t your average tip calculator. Calco is a scientific calculator built for greater productivity. It features super fast evaluate-as-you-go calculations, infinite ticker tape for archiving results, swipe selection, and much more. You can even customize the app’s design with downloadable themes, and the developers are giving away one free theme for a limited time to celebrate the launch. This app is available for free.

How Many Saturdays?

Looking for a fun, thought-provoking app to play around with this weekend? Allow me to introduce How Many Saturdays?. You enter your birthday, and the app calculates how much life you have left to live. The results are presented to you using very unconventional measurements such as cat lifetimes, Blue moon cycles and lightning strikes. For some reason the app is huge (310mb), so be aware, but other than that I can’t think of a reason not to check it out. This app is available for free.

Super Arc Light

Looking for a new arcade shooter? Super Hexagon meets Geometry Wars in the stylish Super Arc Light. The game is a minimalistic, arcade radial shooter where you must defend your base to the death against waves of challenging enemies. Gameplay consists of a unique 1-button control system, providing a fast-paced, retro experience, and there are several weapons waiting to be unlocked. This game is available for $0.99.

MLB Manager 2016

It’s springtime, and baseball season is almost upon us, which of course means a new version of MLB Manager is out. Yes, the hit simulator from Out of the Park Developments has been refreshed with updated rosters and player stats for 2016. So pick your favorite franchise, put together your depth chart, set your lineup and see if you have what it takes to take your team to the top. This game is available for $4.99.

Pocket Earth PRO Offline Maps - GPS Navigation Map, Topographic Contour Map, Travel Guide , Word Wow Big City - Search for the best words as you help Worm to the bottom! , GlassifyMe - PD Pupil Distance Meter and more

Universal:

No matter where you are, Pocket Earth will help you find your way thanks to its huge database that includes more than 100,000 locations and points of interest. Before heading out on your adventure, we recommend downloading your maps ahead of time. The storage space they take up is remarkably small. You’re able to search maps while offline, create routes, pin locations, share your current location, and even receive turn-by-turn directions.

Today only: Unlock the full version of Word Wow Big City free of charge! Simply tap the big “Unlock Full Version” button in the center of the screen and confirm your action. In Word Wow Big City, your job is to help the worm get through towering buildings and into the grass below before the dynamite explodes. To accomplish this task all you need to do is create valid words of three or more letters. However, you’ll want to try to aim for words that are longer than three letters since you’re only allowed to create a limited number of them. You’re able to utilize bombs as well to free up space. The game includes 120 levels and 18 hidden bonus levels.

Many prescription glasses websites require you to submit a pupillary distance. GlassifyMe helps you measure that distance. All you need is a credit card and your iDevice. Then go through three simple steps and you’ll have your PD in minutes. You’re able to use your precise measurements on GlassifyMe.com or anywhere else you need them.

Multiplication Flashcard Match Games is loaded with positive reinforcement. It will help your child learn to multiply by having them play a variety of memory matching games. You’re able to choose the best number range for your child’s skill level, but no matter which you choose your child will be able to hear the numbers and equations as they are touched. After each round, they’ll receive positive feedback and balloon popping rewards. Hints are available along the way, and “Show Me” and “Peek” features make it even easier for young learners to enjoy.

Acid is creeping up into the mine shafts littered with precious gem-building orbs. Tap on the screen to jump from spinning gear to spinning gear while collecting the orbs and escape certain death. Some of the gears have shielded areas that you can’t stick to, and you have a limit as to how far you can jump. But you can collect the glowing yellow light floating around each level to temporarily stop the acid and turn off the gravity.

King Rabbit - Find Gold, Rescue Bunnies

March 24, 2016 by macjeff

King Rabbit - Find Gold, Rescue Bunnies ($0.99) by RareSloth LLC is a cute and charming action puzzle game that will appeal to anyone. If you were a fan of the original Furdemption, or just like rabbits and puzzles, then King Rabbit is a must-have for your game collection. Even if you did not play the original Furdemption, don’t worry — King Rabbit doesn’t need prior experience to enjoy.

Let’s get a few things straight: I love animals (especially furry ones), and I was born in the year of the rabbit. So I have a pretty high affinity with bunnies and rabbits, though I haven’t had one as a pet yet (no pets here). And if you’ve been following my work here at AppAdvice for the past few years, you also know that I love puzzle games, of course. So when I heard about Furdemption and the sequel, I was pretty excited, as these games combined two of my loves together. I also had a chance to check out King Rabbit at GDC last week, and I’ve been eager for it to hit the App Store ever since. Fortunately, it is now here and has been worth the wait, even though Furdemption only originally came out last June.

Visually, King Rabbit is stunningly gorgeous. The game has a top-down perspective that is reminiscent of classics like The Legend of Zelda, and the pseudo 3-D graphics have a cartoonish aesthetic that is cute and welcoming. The colors in King Rabbit are bright, vivid, and rich, with some interesting environmental effects later on in the game. Animations are buttery smooth (including the death animation) and fluid, and I had absolutely no lag on my iPhone 6s Plus. The soundtrack for the game is also upbeat and quirky, making it a delight to listen to as you go through the game. Sound effects are also a nice and fun little finishing touch. Overall, RareSloth has done an excellent job with King Rabbit in terms of visuals and audio.

King Rabbit, like other puzzle games, currently features six different worlds that have 16 levels each. So at the moment, there is 96 total stages, with more to come. Honestly, for the price of admission, I say that this is a pretty good value, since the game has a lot of replay value due to finding all of the gold coins, diamonds, and getting all of the collectibles. The objective in each level is to help the King Rabbit rescue the queen rabbit, who has been caged up by a devious foe. In order to do this, you must hop your way through and solve some tricky, challenging puzzles to find the gold coins and keys to reach her. There is no time limit or points to score, but if you’re a perfectionist, then you’ll want to replay each stage until all coins and diamonds are found.

Controls in King Rabbit are simple and intuitive. In order to move King Rabbit, all you have to do is swipe on the screen in the direction you want him to hop in. With each swipe, you move one square space since the stages are set up in grid-like fashion. When it comes to objects, like crates, gates, and levers, all you have to do is run into the object to interact with it. This means you can push boxes and bombs one space at a time, unlock gates to progress, stand on buttons to activate them, or push levers to use the machines. These are just examples of what you can encounter in just the first world, but there will be many more mechanics to discover as you advance into the other chapters.

As I mentioned before, King Rabbit has pretty high replay value. Despite not having time limits or high scores, you’ll want to replay stages to acquire all of the hidden coins (explore every nook and cranny) and diamonds, and you can use the diamonds to purchase cool new death animations that give the game a touch of personal flair. If you get stuck, there are also hints that you can use to help you out, and if you run out of hints, you can optionally get more with diamonds, which can be bought through in-app purchases. However, I found that the puzzles are mostly just trial-and-error, so the chances of you going through all of your hints is slim. There is also Game Center support for leaderboards and achievements, which just add to the longevity of the game.

While I did not play the original Furdemption yet (I have the game but just never got around to it), I am in love with King Rabbit so far. The art style is beautiful, the music is fun to listen to, and the control scheme is incredibly intuitive, allowing you to play the game with one hand if necessary. The puzzles can be rather challenging as well, which is always welcome, but it’s not incredibly frustrating since you just have to do a lot of trial-and-error testing to solve them. The replay value is high due to the collectibles, and honestly, who can resist cute rabbits as the main characters?

I highly recommend checking out King Rabbit for yourself if you’re a fan of action puzzles and like cute rabbits. You can find King Rabbit on the App Store as a universal download for your iPhone and iPad for just $0.99.
