It’s time once again to protect your flock! This time around, however, you have a ton of new and improved weapons at your disposal like flame-throwers, shrink rays, and stun guns.

You’re going to have to think outside the box in this puzzle game. In each round you are presented with a single image that includes two ideas that don’t necessarily go together, but they do rhyme.

You can also tap on the image to get a closer look.

Family Locator will help ease your fears. You must first set up a free account and add all of your family members to it. You’re then able to see exactly where they on a map in real-time. Safe and unsafe zones can be defined, which will allow you to receive push notifications when a family member has entered them. The app also includes in-app messaging, alerts for when a family member has left a location, and an invisible mode for parents. Location history is available as an in-app purchase.

You can overwrite the original video or save your reversed version as a separate copy.

Steps is all about letting go. Just put your fingers to the screen and begin walking through a low-poly paper world. To walk you must tap and drag your fingers, and then watch as the world continues to build up around you. Tilt your iDevice to get a different view of the paper world. If you walk far enough you’ll come across postcards, each of which is a symbol of a period along your journey.
