Like every other BrainFeverMedia photography app, Alien Sky is loaded with effects. Only these effects focus on cosmic objects. You’re able to utilize any photo in your library or grab a pre-built scene from the app. Each effect acts as a separate layer, allowing you to customize them in a variety of ways. Alien Sky includes loads of filters, textures, and lens flares as well.

If you enjoy anything science fiction, you’re going to love Alien Sky. Planets, moons, and entire galaxies can populate your photos.

The app requires a bit of tinkering to get the results you want.

Combine numbered tiles and earn a high score in The Mesh.

It’s a beautiful and delightful puzzle game.

Why we picked this?

The Mesh is one of the more innovative puzzle games you’ll play this year. The object of the game is to move numbered tiles around the screen in order to achieve a target number. Tiles of the same color will add to each other while opposite colors will subtract. Simply double-tap on a tile to change its color. If you have a tile left within The Mesh without achieving the target number, you’ll lose the number of cells indicated on the tile, which makes it more and more difficult to combine them. Keep combing until you can’t combine anymore.

If you’re tired of the same old puzzle games, check out The Mesh. It has a really unique organic feel to it.

The Mesh requires you to think twice before you make a move, otherwise you’ll paint yourself into a corner. You won’t find any hints or undo buttons here.

Fly around the huge randomly generate maps and land to pick up cargo, which you can sell to upgrade your helicopter.

This is one brutally difficult flight simulator. You’re going to crash a lot at first.
