Fun Music Toy Harp of Innocence

I ran across this application a little while back and it is quite fun and has great stylized graphics. Though this application is not going to make you a musical superstar it provides a fun little music toy. It currently has 4 background tracks to spice up your tune and 4 harp sound types to choose from. As well as 6  play along  songs were you follow the monster sting to string to play music, I would like to see more of these. But this game is definitely is a hidden gem and a fun diversion.

It appears this is now on android and IOS devices.

 

 

Android hidden Gem “Avenger”

Bouncing  between the Amazon Store and the official Android Marketplace I occasionally come up with a gem or at least and decent diversion and that is what I have found in the game Avenger.When I first saw the game it was pretty obvious what I was getting into was a Castlevania Clone and I mean that as no insult. I think this should be an Eye opener to Konami that this can done.

The 1st level did feel a little too easy but doesn’t take long to get a little more in depth but it does liven up pretty quickly. The graphics are nice and again are very retro Castlevania like with a good variety of bosses and enemies. The game to me feels like a marriage of Castlevania and Devil May Cry. The game has a decent story but it contains a fair amount of Engrish.

Currently I have only spent about an hour with this game but for free that is really quite good. The game does have some in app purchases but have not felt forced to do so as of yet. Note there are 2 versions of this out there Avenger and Castle of Shadows. I recommend Avenger because it does not require a log on to play.

 

Fun little sketching App for Android “Sketch n Draw”

In my search for a better drawing app for my android table I came across the application Sketch n Draw by Abhishek Kumar. And I have found in my 30 minutes of usage to be pretty fun and neat sketching effect and really look forward to using it some more I am by no means a good artist and the pictures I have been able to make in this are flawed due to my own ability but I personally like how they turned out. I highly recommend giving this a shot if you like to doodle. I used a pogo stylus with this.
