Run through the savanna while chomping on tasty fruits in oh my giraffe.

It’s for fans of endless high score games.

Why we picked this?

It’s survival of the fittest in oh my giraffe. You get to play as an adorable giraffe with a stretchy neck. As you trot along, you’ll have to stretch that neck high up to reach the dangling fruit. But the big and scary cats of the savanna have you on their menu instead of fruit. Chomp at the vines that the fruit dangle from to bounce them off your back and into the face of the lions that are in chase. When the night comes, try to eat as much fruit as you can since the big, bad lions will be sleeping.

If you’re a sucker for charming indie games, download oh my giraffe today. It’s quirky. It’s unique. And it’s a lot of fun.

This is a high score game, so you’re competing against the world via Game Center leaderboards. If that’s not your thing, skip this one.

Turn your everyday photos into mind-blowing works of art with Trimaginator.

It’s a photography app for the mathematical minds.

Why we picked this?

Inspired by triangulation, the mathematical process invented by Boris Delaunay, Trimaginator allows you to reduce your photos to their essentials and turn them into meshes. The best part is, you don’t need to be a master of math in order to create beautiful works of art. Just choose an effect, tap on your photo to add mesh points, and watch as it all transforms.

If you want your photos to stand out, Trimaginator will make it happen. To get started, try the randomizer. It’ll give you an idea of what to expect.

The UI can be a bit confusing, making it difficult to achieve the same results time after time.

You can also add tasks through Noti:Do’s Today view widget. Tasks within the Today view can be marked as complete with a swipe.

The widget takes up a lot of space in the Today view if you have a lot of tasks.
