Why we picked this?

The fate of the world is in your hands! Guide a ballistic rocket around obstacles for as long as possible with only taps. Tapping and holding your finger on the screen will guide the rocket upwards and releasing will allow it to drop. Obstacles will move and spin as will the screen. Whatever you do, don’t get disorientated and allow the rocket to crash. The coins you collect along the way can be used to purchase different rockets and effects.

You want some non-stop action. You’ll crash. You’ll start again. You’ll crash some more.

You love competing for high scores with others. The downside here is that you can watch an ad to continue, which creates an unfair advantage.

Blackthorn Castle

Syntaxity Inc.

Go out in search of lost treasure in Blackthorn Castle.

Fans of classic point and click adventure games.

$2.99 $2.99

Why we picked this?

Uncle Henry is back at it again. This time he needs you and your newly acquired archeology skills to help him track down a mysterious artifact known to be hidden in the Castle Blackthorn in England. To find the long lost treasure you must pick the correct paths, solve puzzles, and search through old structures with just a tap. A built-in hint system will assist you when you’re stuck, and a dynamic map will ensure you won’t simply go running around in circles.

Blackthorn Castle is about as classic of a point and click adventure game as you can get. Well, that’s if you look past the beautifully rendered forest scenes and passageways, but why would you want to do that?

Going from scene to scene just to get to where you need to go can be a bit of a slog.
