As T-Rex runs through each environment, it’s up to you to time his jumps in order to avoid the many different obstacles set out before him. You’re able to tap and hold your finger on the screen to adjust the height of your jumps. The meter on the right side of the screen will indicate if you hit the sweet spot. Hop on top of the heads of humans to collect skulls and improve T-Rex’s abilities. The game also includes multiple epochs to travel through, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.

All you need to play Get-O Pro is a friend and two iDevices. You’ll need to pair the two iDevices via Bluetooth to get things started. You then have 60 seconds to fling the O to your opponent’s side of the screen and catch it when it comes back to your side. If you miss it or your opponent grabs it first, you won’t score and they will have possession of the O. Sensor zones will also appear at random, which can change up the gameplay by speeding up or slowing down the O or awarding or stealing points. At the end of each game you’ll see how you stack up against your opponent.

You’ll first want to determine a weekly budget amount and when your week starts. You’ll then see your total on the main screen and how much you have left.

The app also includes the ability to rollover your amount from week to week, edit categories, export data, and have your balance shown as an icon badge.

The app is meant to help you make your photos look like they were taken with a single-lens reflex or toy camera. You’re able to import any photo from your library or capture a new one from within the app. Then choose from the 18 different color filters, adjust the contrast, and adjust the brightness. You’re also able to add two different levels of vignette and five types of blur. The blur options allow you to give your photos that miniaturized effect. Then develop your photo and watch it transform. You’re able to save your final creation to your library or share it via Twitter or email.

Your enemies will approach from the right side of the screen. It’s up to you to determine which elemental power to use simply by looking at their color in order to dispose of them.

The game includes original music by Valentin Lafort, the ability to upgrade your guardian, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.
