definitely a step above most kids games there are also no in-app purchases app slinger is an application that helps you find other applications the premise is pretty civil because it only shows you Apple nations that are free to use this is great for Android users on a budget and those who don't want to go surfing through the Play Store to find the good free stuff the recommendations are customizable and the app claims to never show you the same application twice it's interesting and so far has pretty good ratings so it's worth a shot KX player is a free music application with a dark theme and some basic features it's not trying to compete with something like power amp but it's a good option for those looking for something minimal small and simple it has a built-in equalizer including face boost and sound effects and basic controls like editing playlist and using repeat and shuffle it is simple and it does lack some features but it's also entirely free chroma selleck is a unique game where you play as a cell as you make your way around a strange world by moving other microbes and sells out of your way the mechanics are simple and the graphics are colorful and retro it also features an ambient soundtrack it's definitely a designing game type we don't see every day and this exploration style gameplay is quite enjoyable it's also only 99 cents and there are no in-app purchases adventures of poco eco is a beautifully designed adventure game with colorful 3d graphics and a story that has you helping poco find his tribe it features atmospheric music simple gameplay
