SUPER MEGA WORM finds you as a SUPER MEGA WORM, Mother Nature's last resort in destroying
humanity...oh boy howdy how you destroy. Eat everyone, crush everything and evolve so you
can shoot killer spit and blast an EMP that slows down time. You can also eat some moms
and then watch as their pixel babies fly through the air...it's the most beautiful thing I've
ever filmed. But SUPER MEGA WORM don't care. He can't hear your screams...mainly because
he lives the majority of his life underground making it difficult for sound to propagate.
But it is even harder for sound to travel in...
Space...team. Spaceteam is an amazing multiplayer game. Each player is in charge of a different
control panel in a slowly falling apart spaceship. You're given actions to perform but most of
the time it won't be for your own controls so you have to yell it out. The game quickly
turns into a circle of people shouting at each other and staring at their mobile device
and it is great. Spaceteam is also cross platform so people on iOS can play with people on Android
and visa versa.
But instead of just saving you and your friends, save the planet with...
Eve of Impact. You fire missiles at incoming asteroids in an effort to protect the Earth
long enough to be evacuated. You can either strategically fire the missile to explode
near the asteroid, using the blast wave to knock it off course, or just blow it up, but
depending on the distance the debris created can still crash into our planet. If some pieces
do hit, there is a temporary shield to let Earth
Stay Alight. A fun game with a beautiful style that has you tossing orbs of light at green
microbes. There are different colored sparks that do different actions and you have to
use the environment around you to try and get enemies in those hard to reach places.
Then let's play Puzzle and Dragons, the extremely popular game from Japan that is a bejeweled
pokémon dungeon crawling hybrid. You fight battles by matching the colored jewels with
the corresponding monsters you have. Every victory adds more monsters to your collection
so you can build your team and upgrade the characters you want. When you get repeat creatures
you can fuse them with other ones to level up. If you want something a bit more musical
try...
Dropchord. Dropchord is like being in a music visualizer. You place one finger on either
side of a circle, creating a beam to catch colored dots all while music is blaring from
all around you. As the songs progress you have to dodge red x's while still figuring
out a way to grab the glowing dots without removing both fingers off the screen. The
game has a great soundtrack, might give you a seizure and gets frustratingly fun as it
goes but I have something else to...
Showyou, an incredibly useful video aggregator. It pulls in videos that have been shared from
blogs you follow, youtube channels you like and your twitter and facebook friends. There
are a bunch of different categories to explore and one of my favorite features is that the
app shows you if more than one of the curators you follow shared the same video, giving you
a benchmark to know if something is truly awesome before watching. Showyou also has
a really clean interface giving it a nice flow...Laser Flow.
In this puzzle game you have to use mirrors to direct the colored laser to the block of
the same color. Each round has a 1 minute time limit and things start to get tricky
when multiple lasers are thrown in. You have to mix them together to create the desired
color for certain blocks or use pieces to stop a laser entirely from continuing. After
a while the levels get really difficult and the time limit adds to the pressure. If you
mess up just remember it's not your fault, it's
Asphalt...8. Asphalt 8 is probably one of the most fun arcade racing games I've played
on mobile. It has awesome graphics, a massive amount of cars to unlock and upgrade, plus
it has one thing that I don't see enough in racing games, the ability to ram into your
opponents, destroying their vehicles. Ah, it reminds me of San Francisco Rush. You can
unlock everything just by racing, you might need to do a lot of racing, but luckily the
game is insanely fun so it's all good. If you want even more speed than launch into
space with this episodes App of the Week...
Simple Rockets. If you've played Kerbal Space Program before than Simple Rockets will feel
very familiar since it is pretty much the same game, except on your phone and even your
WINDOWS PHONE! The game is a rocket simulator. You construct a variety of rockets until you
find the best configuration for your outer space exploration. Or just built stuff to
watch it explode because that is half the fun...I tell myself to feel better! Once you
are out of our atmosphere you can orbit Smearth or explore the Smolar System. The physics
and science in the game are fairly accurate which adds to how fun the game is. And just
like Kerbal it takes some time to get used to and you will probably explode numerous
times on lift off, and on landing, or as I like to call it, graceful crashing. There
is also a great subreddit showing off the crazy things people have made and done in
Simple Rockets.

I'm Jake and as always, thanks for watching.
I got two things for you. One is a new JAM Leanback. It's part 2 of our roadtrip and
the second one is bonus apps...
Bird's Journey is a game that has you trying to flap your little wings as long you can.
It has a similar visual style to Tiny Wings but is a really nice and relaxing game. Also
it has whales and I love whales.
Almost as much as I love quests, that take place on my calculator. I wish someone would
make that...oh wait..
Calculator Quest. Calculator Quest is an RPG themed calculator that has bonus games in
it to test your mathematical magic. It's a pretty rad calculator and after you do those
sweet calculations take some
Pix, a really cool photo app. Like most photo tools, it has a bunch of filters to choose
from but what makes Pix different is that you can add up to 3 filters to an image and
then apply a film layer or border, giving you something like this.
