Why we picked this?

Strap in and try to keep pace with the fastest jet cars in the galaxy. You’re able to choose from six different jet cars, multiple control options, and the amount and difficulty level of your opponents. Then pick one of the six tracks and race across the finish line as quickly as you can. The game includes three single player modes, and a multiplayer mode where you actually work together with a friend to achieve the best possible time.

If flashy graphics and high speed racing are your thing, this is your game.

If you’re more of a fan of aggressive racing games that allow you to wipe out your opponents, this one isn’t for you. It’s all about the time trials.

Sometimes You Die

Philipp Stollenmayer

You must die in order to survive in Sometimes You Die.

It’s for anyone who enjoys clever puzzles.

$1.99 $1.99
Why we picked this?

In most video games you can die over and over without any effect. That’s not the case in Sometimes You Die. On the surface it plays just like any other platform game, requiring you to leap over chasms and avoid spikes. But when you die it’s not always an unfortunate event. You can use your corpse as a means to conquer otherwise impossible obstacles. The game includes 80 levels, hidden content, and moody lighting effects.

If you’re tired of the same old thing, you need to try Sometimes You Die. Something new is waiting for you around every corner.

The game is rather short on content.

If you want to challenge your senses, look no further than goodEar Intervals.
