Five for Friday: Week of April 22, 2011
Hyperlight:
Hyperlight is a tilt-based game in which you control an extremely deadly spaceship. The greater the tilt the faster your ship will move. The purpose of all this madness is to destroy aliens that fear your destructive powers. While the enemies may run from you, they are merely waiting for your fuel tanks to run dry so they may come and destroy you. With two game modes, stunning visuals and eight bosses to work though, you will have a lot of work ahead of you to protect the galaxy from a terrible alien invasion.
Achilles' Defense:
Devilish creatures are looking to invade your sacred temple, and you cannot allow this. It is up to you to hurl spears of doom at these demons of Hades in order to save your place of worship. The game boasts 20 fun stages with eight mythological monsters. Will you have what it takes to bring the God of hell down?
Holy Moly Dragons:
Those pesky humans think they can invade the world of the dragons. Time to show those fleshy meat morsels a thing or two about the perils they have stumbled upon in this tower defense style game. Use dragons to defend your home, drop boulders from the sky to crush the meatbags, and morph your dragon into sheer powerhouses with a variety of upgrades. Death to all humans!
KORG iELECTRIBE Gorillaz Edition:
Gorillaz is hugely successful when it comes to making interesting music and awesome music videos. Korg has teamed up with this music sensation to create a brand new beatbox dedicated to the band. While this app retains all the great features of the original iELECTRIBE, this special edition is also customized to generate samples from the Gorillaz fourth album “The Fall.” If you like Gorillaz and want to make your own music in their style, this app needs to find its way to your iPad!
Fretter – Chordfinder:
If you play a variety of instruments like the guitar, banjo, ukulele, or even the mandolin, then this app deserves to be on your iOS device. Instead of containing a database loaded with chord diagrams, this app calculates all the possible chords you could want based on the chord/instrument/tuning combination you feed it. There is even a reverse lookup feature to aid those musicians that are working on their own chords. Simple and easy make this a great tool for any music maker!
