Developer Otto Ojala has mastered the art of one button games, and this one is no exception. You and your opponent are armed with hammers, and you must compete in whacking moles of different sizes as they pop out of the hole in the middle of the screen. The first player to hit the mole scores the points, but the bigger moles will require multiple hits, allowing you to rack up even more points. You can also score combo points by consecutively whacking moles. Just watch out for those pink bunnies. They will cost you points if hit.

GraphMe keeps things simple. At the bottom of the screen you’ll find three tabs: Real-Valued, Trajectories, and Vector Fields. Simply tap on one to start plotting. Each graph fills up most of the screen, and you can tap on the sidebar to reveal the fields. Drag to pan, pinch to zoom, and shake to restore your original position. All of your graph images can be saved and shared via email.

Game of Senses is exactly what mobile games should be. It’s easy to pick up and play, and totally impossible to put down. The idea is to discover the hidden energy dots within the darkness by dragging your finger across the screen. Audio and visual cues will help you hunt down the energy dots, so keep your eyes peeled and your headphones cranked up. You have a limited amount of movements you can make in each level, and you absolutely can not allow your finger to leave the screen. Otherwise it’s game over.
