Apps That
Went Free on
2014-10-30

Uncover the secrets of a dark and mysterious house in Haunted Manor. We also have a storybook app that tells the tale of a girl and her battle with strange monsters, and a photography app that allows you to layer textures.

Pixology

Pixology

Invnt

Combine multiple layers to create something truly unique with this photography app.

It’s for anyone who wants to craft artistic photos from scratch.

FREE ($0.99) For a limited time FREE ($0.99) For a limited time
Why we picked this?

No matter how many times you utilize Pixology, you’ll always be able to come out with something totally original thanks to its many different layering options. You’re able to adjust the parameters of your base photo before beginning the layer process. When layering you’re able to choose from photos in your own library, take new ones to use as layers, or choose from the built-in texture library. The library includes 12 categories, with loads and loads of options in each. Each layer can be moved, rotated, resized, and made more or less transparent. You’re also able to reorder and delete layers.

If you like to mess around with your photos, check out Pixology. It provides you with full control over the editing process, and thanks to the huge built-in library of textures, you’ll keep coming back for more.

If you’d rather leave your photos in their original state, there’s no need to consider Pixology. Sure, it can double as a camera and allow you to crop them down, but where it shines is with its layering system.

GO DANCE

SEGA CORPORATION

Show off your moves with Sega’s Go Dance.

It’s for anyone who enjoys games like Just Dance, Dance Central, and Zumba.

FREE ($1.99) For a limited time FREE ($1.99) For a limited time
Why we picked this?

Go Dance is perfect for any get together. Before you hit the dance floor, you must place your iDevice on a stable surface and prop it up since your moves will be tracked via the front-facing camera. It’s also best to connect your iDevice to a television via cable or AirPlay. Then all you have to do is follow along with the character on the screen and try to match their moves to earn big points. Mastering moves will also earn you stars, which can be used to unlock new content within the game.

If you loves to dance, Go Dance will allow you to dance your heart out. It’s a great replacement for those giant console games that are not only expensive but also take forever to get set up.

If your iDevice doesn’t have a front-facing camera, you’re going to have to skip Go Dance. If you don’t have a way to connect your iDevice to your TV, you may also want to skip Go Dance. The experience just isn’t as good on the tiny iDevice screen.

Why we picked this?

Skull Legends does an amazing job of mixing together genres to create something unique and fun. Arm yourself with powerful bows, magic potions, and combat bracers to stand your ground and keep the skeleton warriors from breaching your walls. Pull back on your bow and release to fire upon your enemies. Try to aim for their heads to conserve energy and block their defenses. It’s not all about brute force, however. You’ll also have to place towers in strategic positions to keep the hordes at bay.

If you enjoy first-person shooter games with a little bit of strategy mixed in, check out Skull Legends. Its eye-popping 3-D graphics will grab you, and it’s gameplay mechanics will keep you hooked.

Like most tower defense games, the grinding can wear on you. If you’re looking for a game you can play over and over again, look elsewhere.
