Fruit Ninja was rebuilt with its latest update. Fruits of many shapes and sizes enter the screen from all angles. It's up to you to slice them into juicy bits before they leave. String together combos using multitouch controls to climb the leaderboards. Just watch out for those dreaded bombs! Each blade now comes with a unique effect that will change the gameplay, so try to play around with them to see which best suits your style.

Brushstroke is all about simplicity. Pick a photo from your library or take a new one from within the app. Brushstroke will automatically transform your photo into a painting. You can then choose a different paint style, color, and canvas. Take some time and experiment, as there are a ton of combinations to create. When you’re all finished, sign your painting to personalize it and send it off via Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook. You’re also able to have your new work of art printed and shipped to your doorstep.

Fixum is a blast because of its variety. Each level starts off with a grid of tiles filled with shapes and patterns. The goal is to make your grid look just like the design at the top. You’re able to swap any two tiles just by tapping them. The number of moves used and the amount of time taken determines your score. As you progress through the game, all kinds of new concepts will be added to complicate puzzles. The game includes 16 episodes, 800 hand crafted levels, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.

Fish Out Of Water is easy to learn but impossible to master. The panel of judging crustaceans will score you based on the number of skips, distance traveled, and overall performance. Your team of fishy friends have a wide range of skills, but only you can utilize them correctly to score the most points in three attempts. Beyond mastering each fish, it’s important to try to complete side goals and collect charm gems in order to construct new power-ups.
