The App Store takes delivery of hundreds of new apps per day. The overwhelming scene makes it possible to easily overlook an exciting game, valuable productivity suite, etc. However, we have a solution. Today’s Best Apps tackles this problem by providing you with a handpicked and tested list of apps that are truly worth your consideration each and everyday.
Remember: Even though in-app purchases typically require your iTunes Store password for processing, you can further prevent them and other unauthorized actions by enabling local restrictions using the passcode locked iOS parental controls
Rickshaw Dog by Rovipix (Free, 32.1 MB): Help protect the pooches in this quirky and adorable endless running-style game. With the dogcatcher out to clean the streets of playful pups, your task is to control a courageous canine as he races down the road on a rickshaw, striving to avoid the pound punishment. Along the way, pick up other endangered dogs, hop over hydrants, burst balloons and blow apart boxes, plus collect diamonds and bones, which provide a speed boost and a means of stumbling your pursuer. The game features cartoony 3-D graphics, charming music and sound effects, single finger control, as well as Game Center leaderboards.
Airo Ball by Dualcarbon ($0.99, 33.2 MB): This simple action-arcade game will blow your mind with its surprisingly challenging mix of strategy, reflexes, and patience. Like some kind of tortuous science experiment, each stage is a contraption including various hazards, such as spinning blades and high voltage electron devices, meant as an obstacle course for balloons. However, that's not the best, err, worst, news. There are three colors, randomly deployed, and they must be directed into the identically shaded portal at the top using not tilt or swipe control but touch activated fans positioned along both sides. The game features 2-D graphics, calm techno tunes, dual-thumb controls, more than 100 stages, star and trophy-style scoring system, bonus items, as well as two play modes, Arcade and Timed, within two game types, standard and Airo, an endless experience where stage elements frequently change at random. A standard mode-only free version is also available.
