Hey Vsauce I'm Jake and get ready to nAPP...All...zzzZZzzzZZzzz
What a beautiful day to OBLITERATE ZOMBIES. In Dead Ahead you have to hop on your scooter,
outrun the undead that are chasing after you and blow through the ones that stand in your
way. The more zombies you destroy and the farther you go , the more coins you get to
use towards upgrading your vehicle, armory or unlocking extra tracks. There are also
power-ups that give you unlimited ammo, quad damage or a nitro boost. Any game where you
can drive what looks like the motorcycle from Akira is ok with me. But instead of breaking
skulls, break blocks in
Mosaique. At first glance it looks like a pretty version
of brick breaker, but it is actually much more complicated. If you only remove one block
with a shot, your power bar goes down. You have to swap out blocks in order to create
a row of identically colored ones. The bigger the combo, the more full your bar becomes.
You can move your piece across all 4 sides of the area and there
is no time limit so you can really plan out all your decisions. But instead of thinking,
lets just
Knife that Guy.
You dash around the dance floor on the hunt for said guy with a red arrow over his
head. Once you find him, take 'im out, but avoid murdering people who aren't marked because
you are a responsible and socially conscious maniac. The more you massacre, the faster
the game becomes and you get certain power-ups depending on what color dance tile you do
the deed. Or maybe homicidal tendencies aren't your
Flava, a clean and well designed app meant for collecting your experiences. Every moment
you capture starts to form a timeline of your life. You can make a note about a movie you
watched, a book you read, place you went, and more. The events are organized by tags
and types making it incredibly easy to revisit some precious memories. It's almost as easy
as playing
Musyc, a really cool and interactive music creator where you make Rube Goldberg-esque
contraptions in order to produce awesome tracks. Each shape has a different sound and you can
adjust each individual one's size, pitch, delay and more. The shapes interact with the
environment as well, bouncing off walls you create and other shapes. The background acts
as a scale as well so when an object moves across the screen, it plays a different key.
This app is insanely fun and can really do whatever you imagine, creating awesome things
like this...
Since music is math try Quento. Quento is a mathematical puzzle game where you swipe
your finger across the board to create the proper equation needed to solve the problem.
For some rounds you only have to combine two numbers but it quickly jumps up to 3, adding
to the challenge. Even though there is no time limit, it is really fun to try and see
how fast you can figure out the answer even if it takes a Little Luca...
In Little Luca the stars in the sky have disappeared and you are tasked with collecting them. You
have to use the terrain to bounce your ball and collect all the stars to get them into
the black hole. There are different obstacles like wind or whales that you'll need to take
advantage of in order to achieve your goal. The game has a great visual style and sound
track but instead of bouncing your balls, toss em at some cans.
Can Knockdown 3, is the Return of the King of the Can trilogy. The graphics are amazingly
detailed and the can physics are pretty incredible.
There are
There are cans that explode, ones that give you an extra ball, and the level set-ups are just plain
fun. Oh, and there is also a bullet time mode so you can see that sweet can carnage. Then
put your balls down and get lost with
Hiversaires, a wordless point and click adventure game. You have to navigate through an alien
labyrinth without knowing why you're there or where exactly you are. Since all the symbols
you encounter are in an alien language, it adds to this feeling of desolation and solitude.
You might not be able to decipher an alien language but you can learn a foreign one in
this episode's app of the week...
Duolingo. Duolingo has been out for web and iOS for awhile but is now available for Android
and it is an amazing app. You can learn French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian and English
completely for free. It turns learning a language into a game as you lose hearts for errors,
level-up when you succeed and you can compete against friends. One of the coolest parts
is that, as you progress and start completing larger language translations, you are actually
helping translate the internet. If you are trying to learn German like myself, and you
translate a German sentence into English, you are actually helping translate some piece
of text on the web into a different language. It is incredibly cool. And also I suck at
German.
Links to all the apps can be found in the description below.
I'm Jake and as always, thanks for watching.
BONUS APPS!
Run in Crowd is a fun multiplayer game that has you running endlessly against other players.
You have to avoid obstacles and giant holes in the ground in order to reign supreme against
your competition. But let's go a on a trip, a MindTrip.
MindTrip is a brain melting illusion app by Vsaucer Husam Wadi. It includes 6 different
epilepsy inducing warps which, after staring at them for 30 seconds, will make the world
distort around you. Or you could just not see anything with
Blindscape. Blindscape is an adventure game that you can't see. It is completely audio
based, and is a really interesting experience. And I'm going to stop talking about it because
this gameplay footage isn't very exciting.
