This week’s new NBA Fit app springboards off the momentum of the NBA Finals, offering up a helpful ally for anyone who loves basketball needs a little extra motivation to get (or stay) in shape.
Sky Force Reloaded, a sharp remake of a classic mobile space shooter, is another strong pick this week, as is the Snapchat-esque facial mask fun of Egg – Action Selfie Cam. And our latest look at the ay Store’s biggest brightest new apps is rounded out by tricky rhythm game VOEZ the Clash of Clans-esque Transformers: Earth rs.
NBA Fit
NBA Fit has varying motivational aspects, from athlete quotes to social fitness challenges.
The rriors took the clear edge in the NBA Finals in last night’s game one showdown, if you’re a big hoops fan, you’re probably following all the action in the official NBA app. Here’s another app you might consider: NBA Fit, a new resource designed by Under Armour to merge fitness resources tracking with guidance challenges inspired by the league its many notable stars.
Both NBA BA athletes are represented in the app, which includes video clips from player workouts motivational quotes, but also social challenges that push you to top the leaderboards potentially win prizes. There isn’t a whole lot to the experience, but if you love basketball think the added immersion will help you stay atop workouts push a little harder, then NBA Fit could be a very valuable resource indeed.
Sky Force Reloaded
Sky Force Reloaded looks super impressive in motion— it’s a fun freebie, as well.
ke Sky Force 2014 before it, Sky Force Reloaded is a free-to-play remake of a decade-old game from the pre-smartphone era— it’s pretty awesome. Reloaded is an homage to old-school arcade shooters, tasking you with keeping your plane in the air as you scroll upwards through waves of enemy ships bullet patterns. You’ll also rescue allies topple bosses while completing loads of challenges.
And it’s absolutely gorgeous: like Sky Force 2014, it’s an ultra-glossy game with dazzling detail animations throughout. Ultimately, Reloaded is nearly identical to its remade predecessor aside from the new levels, with similar action, missions, plane upgrades, freemium models between them. But that’s hardly a bad thing, as this freebie offers plenty of blasting fun seriously stunning production values.
Egg – Action Selfie Cam
From Batman to corgis, Egg has all the facial goofs you need.
Enjoy Snapchat’s hilarious, expressive lenses but don’t actually want to use Snapchat? You’ve got a new option: Egg comes from the makers of chat app ne, but it’s a stalone offering that lets you record send the results wherever you please.
It’s the same basic premise: Egg tracks your face pops an animated 3D mask on top, it stays digitally fixed to your mug even as you move your head facial features. And with some masks, when you open your mouth or shift your eyebrows, a special effect happens—like fluttering hearts filling the screen, or a fireball shooting out your mouth. It’s silly but super amusing, plus Egg has dozens more masks than Snapchat. You can share the video recordings easily via Facebook, Twitter, email, more, as well as into ne itself.
VOEZ
There’s a ton of rhythmic tapping swiping in VOEZ, this isn’t even the highest difficulty.
’ve seen a lot of fun innovative rhythm games on Android, including some (like st in Harmony) that use the full screen to their advantage. VOEZ is another one of those games, offering notes you’ll need to tap, hold, swipe to the beat to keep your scoring chain alive. However, unlike with a lot of music games, the interface is rarely static: the lanes shift, combine, divide over the course of each song.
That keeps your fingers moving reflexes racing across the entire soundtrack, which includes a lot of energetic p tunes that match well with the anime-style interludes, plus the difficulty levels range widely between breezy beat tappers frantic finger symphonies. It can be incredibly challenging, but VOEZ’s complex approach is also exhilarating once you get a hang of it. The freemium design provides several free tracks from the start lets you unlock more via gameplay, although you can also spend money to speed things up.
Transformers: Earth rs
You can build much more elaborate bases… it just takes a lot of time (or money).
Clash of Clans still rules the mobile gaming world, so it’s no surprise to see big brs try to take a chunk out of its success. ’ve had Star rs Commer Call of Duty: Heroes put their own spin on the base-building, strategy-lite formula with varying results, now Transformers: Earth rs is here to do much the same.
It’s not the most obvious fit at first glance: the vehicular robot phenomenon seems better suited for a frenzied action game, but Earth rs makes the most of this odd pairing. You’ll choose between Autobots Decepticons, with more than 40 bots in total, build up your fortress while collecting new bots online allies to help your cause. It’s grindy in a very familiar freemium way, but at least it looks sharp brings back classic voice actors from the cartoon series. Fans will probably appreciate it—just be wary of the tempting in-app purchases.
