hello again ladies and gentlemen I'm Joe Hindy the Android a 30 ad guy and welcome back to Android apps weekly this is episode number 180 so let's get started there are a variety of games on sale in the google play store right now among them are xcom enemy within oddworld strangers wrath and munch's oddysee at civilization revolution two and NBA 2k 17 most of them are going for over fifty percent off for a limited time additionally they're all pretty decent games if you're looking for strategy sports or platforming these deals are worth checking out ESET the antivirus security company has noticed a rise in ransomware here lately their most recent reports showed that Android users were targeted over fifty percent more often than they were last year it's important to note that most of those people probably don't have the Google Play Store available to them or are installing side-loaded apps still it's an uptick to keep your eye on because ransomware really sucks Matt Groening creator of futurama and the simpsons announced a new futurama game the game is called futurama worlds of tomorrow and the game was written and produced by series regulars david cohen and matt groening while the developers will be TinyCo the bad news is that it'll be a free-to-play game like other show based titles we don't have a release date yet but you can pre-register now in the google play store if you want instagram received a rather large update this last week the service now lets you share multiple photos in a single post people using the social network no longer have to pick the best of their photos they can now just upload everything if they want to under a single post it may not seem like much however just fundamentally changes how people will use the platform the update is rolling out right now so be prepared for those multi photo posts very soon word around the digital grapevine is that YouTube is doing away with 30-second unscalable advertising in exchange the service is going to be using more frequent six-second done skippable ads that sounds pretty bogus but six seconds isn't nearly as annoying as 30 this is likely in response to Facebook focusing a little bit more on video YouTube wants to make fewer people angry and keep them around longer while still showing as it's really not that bad although your opinion mayberry octave is a new horror adventure game its features point-and-click mechanics to solve puzzles and regret through the storyline you play as a guy who happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and your job will be to survive it features some creepy atmospheric elements dark themes and other classic horror stuff it's a 2d game and the mechanics are simple enough to learn perhaps the best part is that it's cheap and it has no in-app purchases it's a rare horror game that isn't half bad Bart is a fun little application that cuts up videos the way it works is that you choose from a list of videos and then you'll be provided with a script that's word for word you'll choose which words you want and then the application cuts the video to make the video say those things the possibilities are limitless although the application definitely isn't perfect of doing it it's likely something you'll download play with for a few weeks and then uninstall still it'll be a fun couple of weeks at the very least the application is free with no in-app purchases linked wind is another one of those indie puzzle games that people seem to love so much the game revolves around a set of twins and your goal is to use the
