You need a steady hand and clear conscience to succeed in World of Gibbets. Your job is to save the hanging people from certain death by cutting their ropes with your arrow. You’ll have to move quickly since they will run out of air at some point. Just try not to hit the people with your arrow. That’ll create a bit of a mess. The game includes 140 levels, and a handful of mini-games.

Trapper is all about storytelling. The concept is to capture your ideas, whether they are quotes you’ve heard, jokes you’ve told, or setups for scenes, and record them. Then create a narrative to give your captured ideas a home. Within the narratives section you’re able to build your story by adding new ideas, reorganizing them, and editing them as needed. Your narratives can be shared as editable text documents via email, or you can present them from within the app.

The best thing about PAC-MAN Friends is the many different ways you can control the iconic yellow pellet chopper. You’re able to utilize tilt controls, on-screen directional buttons, or an on-screen joystick to navigate PAC-MAN through challenging mazes. Along the way you’ll be able to unlock new friends whose powers will help you blaze through each maze. The game includes 95 stages, nine friends to unlock, and daily rewards.

Beluga makes task sharing a painless process. All you have to do is create a group and populate it with tasks. You’re then able to invite others to see the tasks, or you can pitch a task to someone else from your personal list with a right to left swipe. If you perform the latter, they’ll receive a push notification. You’ll also receive a push if someone completes a task you pitched.

Ettetetta is easy to learn but difficult to master. As the blue and red squares stream down the left side of the screen, it’s up to you to gather the rest into lines and match them with the same color. You’re able to do so with a right to left swipe. Any squares that haven’t been collected within the lines will fall into them as long as they match. Try to create lines that gather as many squares as possible to keep your session going.
