Choose your incarnation and begin your ride through visually stunning landscapes by artist Jona Dinges. Like other games in the genre, all you need to do is swipe to steer your character around, over, and under obstacles. Collect coins, complete missions, and travel as far as possible in order to unlock new items and climb the leaderboards.

Pronto doesn’t reinvent the wheel, it just makes it easier to use. To set a countdown timer, simply turn the dial to adjust the minutes and slide your finger across the bottom to adjust the seconds. Hit start and wait for the alert tone. The app is able to run in the background along with a countdown timer that’s conveniently displayed as an icon badge. Pronto also includes timer history, allowing you to reuse them.

The old fairy has placed a curse on you, and the only way to lift it is by getting all of her muffins back. You’ll battle sheep, pigs, ghosts, and all kinds of fairy tale creatures as you try to grab each muffin that appears. Every muffin collected will change your form from knight, to mage, to archer, to something else entirely. Each form you take can also be upgraded. The game includes 2.5-D graphics, 18 characters, and online multiplayer.

You’re able to import any photo from your library or take a new one from within the app. You’ll then be able to adjust the smoothness and brightness of the photo via sliders. A cropping option is also available to ensure the whole photo doesn’t get smoothed over. Your finished product can be saved or shared via your favorite social media networks.

Owen’s Odyssey has a little bit of everything. Owen is armed with only a propellor hat, and he needs your help making it through a castle full of spikes, saws, fires, falling rocks, lava, and creatures of all shapes and sizes. To do so, simply tap the right side of the screen to fly ahead. Tap the left side to stop Owen in his tracks. Try to beat the target time in each level to earn an extra life, because otherwise you will not make it through all 40.
