Pancho's favorite method of flight is balloons. Two very small and fragile balloons. You must protect them at all costs so Pancho can float to the top of the world. You'll be asked to perform all kinds of different tasks to protect his balloons, like clear debris, redirect cactus spines, and block fireballs, so you better be ready for the challenge. The game includes five environments, 100 levels, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.

You won’t find any buttons here. You’re able to capture a selfie by tapping anywhere on the live camera feed, freeing up your other hand. If you want to flip the camera, just shake your iDevice or swipe vertically. Swipe horizontally to toggle the flash on and off. All the selfies you’ve taken can be seen across the top of the screen. Tap on any one to get a closer look and share it via Twitter, Facebook, Instagram AirDrop, or email.

Checklist Inspector helps you speed up the process of conducting an audit or inspection by allowing you to create and share custom templates. When creating a template, you’re able to add separate categories with multiple tests. Then while performing your audit or inspection you’re able to answer the tests, add photos, add actions, and assign tasks to responsible parties. You’re able to check out an overview of your audit or inspection, which includes stats and graphs. Reports can be exported and shared via email or Dropbox.

Before you can begin tracking your data usage, you'll need to first define your cycle and data cap. DataMan will then begin to track your usage over 3G, 4G, LTE, and Wi-Fi. It will also provide you with a forecast for the month, and can send you push notifications when you break certain thresholds. Most additional themes are available via in-app purchase, but today you can grab a special theme free of charge by selecting the “donkulous DRIBBLE” font within the “Theme” section.

Upon first launch, the app will need a moment to generate thumbnails for the more than 200 included pieces of art. You can then swipe through the scrolling list of thumbnails, search for specific works of art by keyword, or break them down by category. Each piece is presented in HD, allowing you to zoom way in without losing detail. The app also includes the ability to save and share artwork, links to videos, and a brief biography.

The comic portion takes place in a fictional, privately owned 52nd state called New Royale. A secret order is hellbent on destroying New Royale with a weapon of mass destruction, so it’s up to you and the SXPD pursuit force Indigo to stop them at all costs. As you make your way through the 42 page digital comic, you’ll have to complete intense pursuit missions that will have you dodging obstacles and taking down enemies with your machine guns. It’s quite the experience thanks to the highly stylized black and white environments. The app also includes the ability to simply enjoy the racing portion on its own.
