Captain Cowboy is pure nostalgia. You’re able to explore a massive handcrafted world with only the swipe of your finger. Dig through debris in search of diamonds, push unbreakable boulders out of your way, and cross paths with friendly Snorkhogs and dangerous Gnurfs. Whatever you do, avoid getting sucked out into the abyss and smashed by avalanches of boulders. There’s so much to see that you’ll need to access your handy auto-map from time to time in order to stay on track.

Willio ensures that everyone pays their fair share. Create an event by naming it and selecting a currency. You’re then able to add your friends by importing their contact information or by entering them manually. Willio allows you to add payments each time someone from the group ponies up, and it helps you keep things fair by keeping track of who should pay next. The app also allows you to send email reports to all participants.

Juice provides peace of mind. It’s able to display your iPhone’s battery level on your Apple Watch as a complication. Not only that, but you can also receive push notifications when your iPhone’s battery level crosses specific thresholds. Juice includes three display styles to choose from, and the option to display a charging indicator.

The year is 2022. Society has changed. The good times have all but disappeared. The rich have only become richer while the poor are even poorer. The current laws were designed by large corporations operated by fools and free thought disappeared with them. It’s up to you to fight back against the powers that be by collecting items, speaking with citizens, and solving puzzles. The game includes a hilarious science fiction storyline, hand-drawn artwork, and an original soundtrack.

Take a good look at the board while it is lit up because the lights will go out! You must then match elements to create electrical currents that will briefly illuminate the board, disintegrate the elements, and turn them into gold. While the board is briefly illuminated from creating a match, you will have another chance at seeing where elements are located and how they’re aligned. If you wind up not getting a good enough look, you can use a hint. The game includes three modes, loads of ways to upgrade your gold producing machine, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.
