You like strange? Well, if the title of the game hasn’t clued you in, this is one freaky adventure game.

Striding Bird wanted nothing more than to be like his four-legged friends and not have to worry about living high up in the trees.

The original story includes dynamic interactive items on every page, fun animations, charming narration, original music and sound effects, and highlighted text so your child can follow along.

Sleep keeps things simple, which is why we’re recommending it today. There’s nothing worse than digging around through a bunch of settings just to try to fall asleep. You’re able to choose from three different binaural effects: Sleep, power nap, and deep sleep. Then adjust the timer, hit play, and focus on the beats. Ideally, you want to set the timer for at least 10 minutes in order to allow the sleep effects to work, but there is a limit of 60 minutes. If you haven’t fallen asleep by then, you’re probably not going to.
Sleep – Binaural Sleep Beats To Fall Asleep Fast is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 18 ratings.
iPad:
Star Tracker HD has some of the best visuals we’ve ever seen in a star gazing app. It actually does the solar system some justice. Before lifting your iPad into the air, you’ll want to calibrate it to ensure it’s properly aligned with the stars. You can then twist and turn to see more than 88 constellations, 8,000 stars, and 100 deep sky objects. If you find something worth sharing, capture a screenshot and send it off to Twitter or Facebook.
Star Tracker HD – Best StarGazing app to Explore the Universe is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4-star rating with a total of 18 ratings.
