There’s a little bit of everything in Super Heavy Sword. You get to explore massive worlds, swing swords, fire arrows, throw bombs, and bounce off of the heads of your enemies. Your character can also perform some neat tricks like ground pounds, wall kicks, and summersaults. On top of all of that, you’re asked to track down 64 medallions, 30 lost paintings, and 18 bugs. Oh, and don’t forget about the king’s five children!

Numerity is about as relaxing of a puzzle game as you’ll find in the App Store. You’re asked to find numbers within a cluster as quickly as possible in order to form an image. You can get a closer look at the cluster using the usual pinch to zoom gestures. Hints are available, but they will cost you. The game includes five theme packs, 50 levels, and iCloud support.

Typic+ allows you to do a little bit of everything. After importing a photo from your library or snapping a new one, Typic+ will take you step-by-step through the editing process. Along the way you will be able to apply filters, caption your photo with different fonts and colors, and add a frame and other design elements. Typic+ is loaded with content, but you can get even more fonts, design elements and frames via in-app purchase.

Convertr’s unique interface sets it apart from every other conversion app in the App Store. It’s based on trying to get you to your desired conversion in as few taps and swipes as possible. You’re able to browse through a list of conversion categories and units, or you can search for something specific. After selecting two units, just swipe to see their conversions in real-time. Convertr will display your recent conversion history, and you can save frequent conversions for quick access later on. The app includes a total of 11 categories, and nine themes to choose from.
