Wicked Lair

Stefan Pratter

Build deep dungeons and spawn vicious creatures to defeat the heroes from above in Wicked Lair.

It’s for fans of tower defense and dungeon building games.

FREE ($0.99) For a limited time FREE ($0.99) For a limited time
Why we picked this?

Wicked Lair allows you to be bad. Instead of playing the hero, it’s up to you to build up your dungeons to fend off the invaders from above and eventually destroy their town with your own attacks. You’re able to choose from nine distinct dungeon types and unleash more than 100 different creatures. Set devious traps, attract powerful boss creatures, and, when things get really hairy, support your creatures by casting powerful spells.

If you’re tired of the same old tower defense game, look no further than Wicked Lair. It provides a rather unique experience thanks to its genre-mashing mechanics.

Like other games in the genre, it can take a bit for the action to really kick in. If you’re impatient, this may not be your game.

Dark Matty

Help Matty uncover his past by knocking out alien creatures in Dark Matty.

It’s for fans of classic brick-breaker gameplay.

Why we picked this?

Matty is a little ball of dark matter who is confused about his origin and a little bit angry about it. To help him uncover the truth, you’ll have to fight some alien creatures brick breaker-style. You’re able to control the paddle by tapping either side of the screen. Power-ups and coins will fall at random, and you can grab them with your paddle. The game includes a story mode and an arcade mode.

This is casual classic gaming with a twist, which makes it easy to get into and difficult to put down.

Additional continues and coins can be obtained via in-app purchase, which makes competing for high scores somewhat unfair.

Phone Drive allows you to easily grab files from your home computer or a local iDevice. To download files from your computer, simply point your browser at the provided URL. To download files from another iDevice, all you need is to install and launch the app on both. Phone Drive is able to read and play a wide variety of text and media files, and you’re able to organize them within folders. Files can also be sorted by name, kind, or date modified. There’s even a built-in text editor that allows you to create files.

If you prefer local storage over the cloud, this is the app for you. It’s able to handle just about anything.

Cloud syncing will cost you.
