Rails , Jungle Rumble: Freedom, Happiness, and Bananas , SORUS SHIELD FREE and more

 

iPhone:

Star Scales Pro For Guitar ( $9.99 → FREE ) Learn to play guitar like a star with this music app. It’s ideal for amateur musicians who want to acquire proficiency and confidence when playing guitar. You’re tasked with completing tracks and guiding trains into their matching stations, all while keeping them from crashing into each other. You’re able to control the signals to stop them in their tracks and flip the switches to lead them in different directions. Not all of the trains operate in the same way, however, so you’ll have to stay on your toes. The game includes 60 levels, 12 train types, iCloud support, and leaderboards and achievements via Game Center. A rival tribe is stealing all of your bananas. It’s up to you to tap on the screen in order to fight off the red monkeys and reclaim what’s yours. You’ll have to pay close attention to how the invaders move and learn their behaviors in order to complete each level. The game includes a fairly quick yet informative tutorial to ensure you get the hang of the rhythm mechanic. You’ll be tapping to the beat in no time. Today only: Unlock all 101 missions and five arcade levels Sorus Shield has to offer free of charge! Head to the shop at the bottom of the main screen and tap on “Buy All Arcade Levels” and “Buy All Missions.” Confirm your freebies with a tap and enjoy. Aliens are trying to take control of the universe with special light mines. Only the spaceship Sorus can stop them thanks to its unique shield. It’s your job to dissolve the mines by creating complete lines. You’re able to tap to rotate the encapsulated mines, and swipe to move them along the lines. When you want to lock them in place, swipe up. Completed lines will remove all of the mines within and leave the others to come crashing down into place, allowing you to create cascading combos. Learning how to play guitar doesn’t have to be difficult, at least not with Star Scales Pro. The app throws out the idea of using complicated charts and instead has you practicing scale patterns. Each scale features fingering and note names in all positions on the fretboard, making it remarkably easy to master a specific pattern. Since each scale and all its patterns are taught one at a time, you won't become overwhelmed. The app includes all blues, rock, and jazz guitar scales, zoom, a random scale pattern generator, and the ability to share scales via email or social networks.

Hyperspektiv, ZCast, Rogue Agent, and more apps to check out this weekend

January 23, 2016 by macjeff

This past week may have been slow for the news cycle, but it didn’t stop us from pumping out some useful information, like how to watch live TV on Apple TV, how to remove iOS configuration profiles, and how to open a new private window in Safari.

If you’ve had your fill of learning new things about your iPhone and are looking for some fun content to download, check out our list of apps and games this weekend.

Rogue Agent

I love a good stealth game, especially when the game has interesting elements to it. It’s about more than just avoiding getting caught. In this game, players must escape rooms while avoiding detection from some fairly uninterested guards. You can pick up interesting gadgets, like a scramble suit that will camouflage you so you can walk right past guards, and play mini games, like lock picking or wiring. There are also extras that you can unlock by taking more difficult routes to the exit, like designer commentary and additional levels. This game is available for $2.99.

Hyperspektiv

Just when you thought there couldn’t possibly be a new way to add filters to photos, Phantom Force comes along and mixes it all up again. This app distorts your images in real-time with what the company calls, “techno-kaleidoscope.” You pick one of the psychedelic filters and then slide your finger across the view screen to watch it transform into weirder images. You can record the effects in real time and save it as a mini clip. It works with photo or video and will eventually support camera roll imports (for now, you have to use the in-app camera) This app is available for $1.99.

The Westport Independent

What would it be like to live in a country where you couldn’t just write whatever you wanted? What if your job depended on your ability to silence the opposition? What if the government and the rebels wanted your help? Who’s side would you take? This game explores these concepts as a censorship simulator that takes place in a post-war country where the government wants to crush the rebellion and the rebels want your help. Your job is to delete sentences, alter context, and generally censor content before it goes to print. This game is available for $4.99.

5oosh

In this new age of social media, it is easier than ever to connect with celebrities in a more personal way. Whether you follow them on Twitter, Instagram, or whatever social medium you prefer, you can see what your favorite actors, musicians, and artists are up to. This app takes it one step further and provides an outlet for famous people to engage with their fans more directly. Celebrities could, potentially, have a one-on-one conversation with fans, send pre-recorded messages to specific people, and offer personalized memorabilia. Now, it’s just a matter of getting your favorite actor to actually use the service. This app is available for free.

Dungelot: Shattered Lands

Fans of the roguelike genre will be happy to know that there is another Dungelot title in the App Store now. In this dungeon crawl, players must defeat the typical enemies, like skeleton warriors and ghastly ghosts, and also watch out for such new enemies as zombie cows and evil mushrooms. With a minesweeper style mechanic, players try to navigate a room full of hidden monsters, while grabbing the loot before hitting the exit. You can trade your current power for a better one if you come across a merchant, and unlock mini games if you don’t die first. This game is available for $3.99.

ZCast

Many of us secretly wish we could put together and publish an awesome podcast that would somehow change the world, or at least entertain our friends. However, creating and managing a podcast can be daunting, and even scary for some. Plus, you tend to need special equipment, software, and at least a little know-how to make it work. With this app, all you need to do is tap a few buttons and you are casting your opinion to the world, in real-time. You can easily invite others to join your conversation, and get immediate feedback from your listeners with comments. This app is available for free.

Lords of Discord

It’s time to get your classic RPG on. From the same game development company that brought you Warhammer 40,000: Space Wolf comes a new tale with an old-school theme. Gather a party of adventurers and head out into a world, ravaged by evil. Fight, in turn-based combat, against the likes of orcs, dark elves, and those pesky undead. Each member of your party has useful abilities that will aid you as a group. You can overthrow territories and use the land’s resources to help build and advance your own castle. This game is available for free.
