Why we picked this?

Paletto is all about keeping things short and sweet while still expressing your mood. When creating a new diary entry, just start typing whatever is on your mind. You’re able to then choose a color and font that accurately reflects your mood, or you can have the app randomize the background color, font style, and text position. All entries can be tagged and searched for with key words. You’re also able to share your entries via social media.

If you don’t have time for writing long diary entries, this is the app for you. It’s focused on keeping things simple.

It’s not intended for large bodies of text. It’s more of a visual diary.

Repel invaders without a face in Tesla Wars HD.

It’s classic castle defense action.

Why we picked this?

Only one of Tesla’s powerful towers remain standing. You must protect it at all costs from the invading faceless swarm. Your enemies are equipped with various types of weapons and attributes, and they will approach the tower from all possible angles. Zap them where they stand by touching and holding your finger on them. You are able to spend your prize money between waves to upgrade your tower and purchase new weapons. The game contains hundreds of waves of enemies to wipe out, 17 upgrades and attacks to unlock, and achievements and leader boards via Game Center.

If you enjoy castle defense games, you have to give Tesla Wars HD a try. It’s quite challenging since the invaders can come at you from all angles.

It’s a pretty repetitive formula even though you’re able to unlock new upgrades. It’s best played in spurts.
