Mastermind Pro - Code Breaker (Premium) , Kalley's Machine Plus Cats , Fun on the Farm - 5 top 2-player board games for kids; play dominos, air hockey, lotto with family and friends and more

Universal:

Mastermind Pro is a classic remade for the modern age. It features a clean and minimalistic UI, but everything you know and love about the original game remains intact. As always, the object of the game is to guess the secret code by following the hints. Hints will let you know if a dot is of the right color, in the right position, or completely out of place. The game includes three modes, two difficulty settings for each mode, and colorblind support.

Kalley’s Machine Plus Cats is about as interactive as interactive storybooks come. There’s just so much to do! You’re able to follow along with the rhyming story as it’s narrated by Kalley and her dad, or you can touch to read. Each page is littered with crazy ways to interact with the machine. You’re able to spin dials, pull levers, hit switches, smash buttons, and watch what happens. Oh, and there’s cats. Lots of cats that are fun to mess with.

Gather the family and enjoy a collection of five different games all centered around the farm. You’ll find air hockey, lotto, dice, dominoes, and color tiles. Each game includes helpful indicators to assist whoever is playing, and unique characters.

There really isn’t any Trouble With Robots. It’s the perfect collectible card game. You get to play through 26 levels that flesh out the crazy storyline and six challenge levels. The only way to make it all of the way to the end is to customize your deck for each level, as you’ll constantly be presented with new challenges. Cards can be played in order to send troops into battle to deal direct damage, buff your allies, and weaken your foes. How you play your cards is entirely up to you.

To help the ghost get from room to room, your child will need to collect numbers and build equations to solve problems. Along the way they’ll earn talking portraits to add to their gallery. The portraits have different stories to tell through colorful characters. The game includes eight themed museums, support for multiple user accounts, bonus challenges and unique rewards, and customizable skills.

Toca Kitchen 2 is Apple’s new Free App of the Week

March 03, 2016 by macjeff

App Store editors have selected Toca Boca’s Toca Kitchen 2, the official sequel to the wildly popular Toca Kitchen, as its new Free App of the Week. Retailing for $2.99, this universal app is now available at no charge for a week, until next Thursday.

Released in December 2014, Toca Kitchen 2 has a rating of four and a half starts based on nearly 700 App Store reviews. In this game, you will cook foods for new types of guests, with more tools to play with and new food combinations to test out.

“Food’s fun for everyone with Toca Boca’s second go-round in the kitchen. Choose different characters and try to please their palettes by preparing fish, fruit, vegetables and more,” Apple’s editors wrote.

“Deciding what to serve and whether to bake, boil, fry, chop, puree or season it—or all of the above—will keep young chefs happily cooking away.”

In Toca Kitchen 2, you can mix ingredients however you want, but don’t go overboard with that oven-baked fish head with fried leftovers and lettuce juice as your guests will have digestion problems.

There are five different kitchen tools to choose from. Like before, you get to watch your guests’ hilarious reactions to your cooking, which may provide a hint as to their preferences. Other enhancements in Toca Kitchen 2 include new ingredients in the fridge, new characters to feed, stronger character reactions than before and a new juicer and oven.

Who said dishes have to be pretty and tasty?

Toca Kitchen 2 is free of in-app advertising and contains no In-App Purchases.

This is the third game in the Toca series which Apple selected in its ongoing Free App of the Week promotion, the other two being the kids driving game Toca Cars and the popular education app Toca Nature.

Oh, and their newest game, Toca Dance, just surfaced on the App Store today.

System requirements and availability

This game requires an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad with iOS 5.0 or later and is localized in English, Danish, Finnish, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Traditional Chinese and Turkish.

Grab Toca Kitchen 2 at no charge until next Thursday.

Amigo Pancho , Days Left - Your Day Counter , WonderNote™-Private Daily Journal/Diary and more

iPhone:

Pull down on the screen to automatically fetch and populate Days Left with all of the events from your calendar. The app will then show you how many days there are until the events take place. Swipe left to right to view the date of the event, and swipe in the opposite direction to delete it. Days Left also allows you to create your own custom events, attach reminders to them, and view events on your wrist via Apple Watch.

WonderNote can be whatever you want it to be. You’re able to customize the colors of the interface to match your own personal style. Then start recording your thoughts as words, photos, or audio. The app operates perfectly in both landscape and portrait orientations. You’re also able to backup your notes to iCloud and share them via Twitter or email.

It’s able to attune your brain to desired states of mind by playing binaural and isochronic tones. The app includes 11 ambient tracks, eight entrainment tracks, one noise track, the ability to create your own custom programs, a timer with fade, repeating alarms with snooze, and a full tutorial.

Universal:

Amigo Pancho has you interacting with the various colorful environments in a wide variety of ways, which is why we can’t recommend it enough. There’s something new around every corner. The basic idea of the game is to help Pancho ride his two very small and fragile balloons to the highest places in the world. Along the way you’ll have to clear debris, redirect cactus spines, and even block fireballs to ensure his balloons don’t pop. The game includes a total of six locations and 120 levels, so you better be ready for a challenge.

This is the type of game that will kick start your brain and get those juices flowing in the morning. All you have to do is swipe to roll the balls and try to get them into their appropriate positions. What makes this task so difficult, however, is that when one ball is moved, all of the balls in that row or column move with it until they are stopped by a wall. Try to restore order in as few moves and as quickly as possible to earn a high score. The game includes three single player modes, and an online multiplayer mode so you can compete against your friends.
