It’s fun for the whole family.

Why we picked this?

As T-Rex runs through each environment, it’s up to you to time his jumps in order to avoid the many different obstacles set out before him. You’re able to tap and hold your finger on the screen to adjust the height of your jumps. The meter on the right side of the screen will indicate if you hit the sweet spot. Hop on top of the heads of humans to collect skulls and improve T-Rex’s abilities. The game also includes multiple epochs to travel through, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.

If you need a casual game you and the kids can enjoy, T-Rex Hates is it.

The controls can take a bit of getting used to since jumping isn’t simply accomplished with a tap.

Why we picked this?

Before you do anything else, grab a pair of your favorite headphones. Without them you simply won’t get to experience all of the fantastic stereoscopic 3-D sounds Sunny has to offer. The sounds were encoded in the highest quality 256 kbps AAC, allowing for a completely engrossing audio adventure. You’re able to customize each beach scene by mixing in as much or as little rain, rain beating against a tent, music, and bird sounds as you wish. Sunny’s first beach is unlocked from the get go. The other five can be unlocked with sun rays, which are earned simply by interacting with the app and listening to the sounds on a daily basis. If you can’t wait, you can unlock all of the sounds immediately via in-app purchase.

If you have troubles relaxing, you need to give Sunny a try. The sounds are all top-notch, and the stereoscopic 3-D effect will simply blow you away.

If you aren’t a very patient person, working on building up enough sun rays to unlock all of the beaches may get on your nerves.

Unblock your mind in this stylish sliding puzzle game.

It’s for fans of puzzle games who are in need of a true challenge.

Why we picked this?

Blockham City has become shrouded in darkness, and only the block heroes can save it by completing puzzling missions. The basic goal of the game is to get your block from the starting point to the end target by sliding it all over the screen. The usual sliding puzzle game rules apply, where you can’t simply slide pass your end target; you must stop on top of it. But as you progress through the game, new elements will be added to complicate things. Hopefully you’re up for the challenge. The game includes six modes, over 180 levels, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.

If you’re fond of the sliding puzzle game mechanic, Gravity Blocks is your game. It’s moody, atmospheric, and downright difficult.

To unlock the later levels you need to master the beginning levels. If you’re not up to the task, you won’t make it far.
