game released exclusively for NVIDIA shield devices it's an action platformer where you play as the girl who could seamlessly transition between being a real person and her own shadow he played through the game transitioning between the two to overcome obstacles and progress in the story it's kind of like a 3d limbo but with a better storyline better graphics and slightly more complex puzzles the price tag is a bit exhorbitant but it seems like a legit game cloud chasers is a new game that falls into the category of survival adventure you play as a girl and her father as you traverse a dangerous steampunk desert in search of a better life you'll have to manage their food and health much like you did an Oregon Trail you'll also have a glider that can be used for various purposes the graphics are pretty nifty and the concept is definitely fun because the world is randomly generated and there's some other fun elements it also touches on the topic of immigration there are also no in-app purchases Wonderwall is a new wallpaper application that brings something a little bit different the app is a wash and landscape and nature photography that you can use as wallpaper images for your device each day they add a new hand-selected wallpaper to add to the collection all of this is wrapped up a material design which makes it easy enough to wander around and search through it also comes with auto set that lets the application set the wallpapers for you and you can even submit your own photography it's also totally free with no in-app purchases the pocket programming is a newer application that aims to help absolute beginners get into the world of code unlike most there is no actual coding in this application but rather a set of tutorials and lessons that explains what the code does how it works and the various verbiage used in coding and what those words mean it's intended as an intermediary step between not knowing anything at all about code and your first hello world application it's three dollars with no in-app purchases and features in less than a day for four weeks we first saw minions paradise back at e3 and we were told it was going to be released over the summer there were some delays but now the game is out on the Google Play Store this is a resource builder gamer you must create a paradise for the minions and of course all of the villains it's surprisingly in-depth as you have almost complete control over everything that happens in your paradise and the game comes with plenty of goofy antics from the movie there are in app purchases but if you can get past them this is a fun little game this week's Android apps weekly show is sponsored by music grid music organizer player this app's claim to fame as its unique grid
