We love Dizy because it’s easy to learn, but difficult to master. The game board is made up of a five-by-five grid of randomly placed dice. At the bottom of the screen is a bucket of dice that you get to place to create combinations. Playable combinations are based on the game of Yahtzee, like three-of-a-kind, small straight, and full house. You’re also able to place dice anywhere on the board, even if they don’t create a match. The object of the game is to create huge combos, including cross combos, to earn the highest score.

Mind Magnets can be used as a shopping list, task manager, habit tracker, and even a mind-mapper. Its simple two-button interface allows it to be anything you need it to be. Simply hold your finger on the screen to create a new item. The new item can take on one of three different shapes and 27 different colors. After an item has been created, you can drag and drop it anywhere on the screen. This allows you to group items together however you like.

PixelWakker allows you to import any photo from your library or capture a new one from within the app. You can then choose from 20 different pixel art effects. You’re able to independently adjust the frequency and intensity of each effect via sliders. Your final creations can be saved or shared via your favorite social networks.

Jotalicious allows you to create lists just like you’re jotting down notes. The first line you type will turn into your list name. Each additional line will be an item on that list. The best part is, you don’t even have to type out your lists. You can dictate items on your list by saying an item name and “New Line” after each item. It really speeds up the process. Jotalicious also allows you to attach amounts to items, define the store the item is located at, and categorize items.

Modern Labyrinth is casual gaming at its best. It doesn’t have a ton of bells and whistles. Just launch the game and get rolling. As with all labyrinth games, your job is to avoid falling down the wrong hole on your way to the highlighted one by tilting your iDevice. Try to move quickly and achieve the best time possible. The game includes 36 levels.
