All you need to do is to eliminate as many enemies and bosses as you can before you die and collect anything from coins to elixir.
Control is also dead simple, 2-directional button: left or right, jump button and pause button.
When you press left, the hero will go all the way to the left until you press right button to change direction and vice versa.
You don't need to press button to attack, as the hero is always pointing the sword towards the enemies.
You can jump to avoid ground obstacles or to kill flying enemies.

Second menu: Tavern - to buy upgrades, unlock characters and other accessories.

A very simple yet addictive but also can make you frustrated, The Red Button game is all about speed.
When you start the game, you see only a button that keeps changing color: red and blue.
Press the button only when it turns blue and avoid pressing the button when it turns red. As simple as that!
The thing that (will) makes you frustrated is that the timing when the button turns red and blue is really random. Sometimes the blue button appear for so long time, makes your finger feels itchy to press it, but at the time your finger touch the button, it turned into red already.

So if you like Candy Crush Saga, you must love Snack Truck Fever as well. Fantastico!

Current version 1.1.2 requires iOS 5.1 or later. Compatible with the following iOS devices:
When first saw this game on AppStore especially the icon, I thought this game would be like Monument Valley game, but after download, installed and played it, turned out this game is actually an endless running game but with themes that looks like Monument Valley. Somehow I felt like I'm being cheated by the game icon. Haha.
The game itself, The Branch, turn out to be fun, addictive and frustrating game at the same time.
Why? Because when first start this game, I was just given one instruction to stay on the branch as long as I could. Seemed easy until I realized that no matter where I touch my screen whether up, down, left or right, the game character only moved to one direction.
If from the start he moves to the right, then pressing anywhere on the screen will always moves him to the right and vice versa. Fine with me.
Until one game I realized another fact, then don't care he moves to the right or left at the start of the game, in the middle of the game, don't know why, but he can switch direction. If at first he always moves to the right when I press anywhere on screen, after certain time, he starts moving to the left when I press anywhere on the screen and that's where the frustration comes from.
Just now while writing the blog I tried to once more play the game, and I have just realized another fact, the character move direction will switch once I obtain the purple gem. So for those who wants to stick with same direction, avoid taking the purple gem.
The game allow us to change the main character, just like in Crossy Road.
Definitely a must-to-try game, especially those who like challenges.

Does your phone running out of space for whatever reasons?
But again for whatever reasons you don't want to delete your photos or videos collections that turn out eating most of your space?
Well, you may now have peace of mind, Crunch Gallery is the perfect app for you.
When opening the app first time, it will calculate all your photos and videos and show to you how much extra space you can have after crunching all the photos and videos.
In my case, I've got 1240 photos and 11 videos and Crunch Gallery reported to me that I can save as many as 1.5GB if I crunch them all.
Next step is that you need to select photos or videos. Or if you really want to select all of them, simply by pressing select max.
Crunch Gallery will crunch your selected photos and videos to smaller size while maintaining their quality to be the same as the originals. In the end, you will get extra space after the crunching and you will still have your photos and videos.
What's good is that after crunching the photos and videos, the app put back the crunched version photos and videos so you can access them from the photos app - just like usual.
In the end, the app will ask you whether you want to delete the original photos or videos or not.
Based on my trial, when prompted whether I want to delete the original files or not and choose not to delete, the app crashes. No big deal, since the main purpose of this app is to save space, then mostly choose to delete the original photos and videos files.
Current version 1.2.2 requires iOS 8.1 or later. Compatible with the following iOS devices:
A new game by Square Enix, Lara Croft: Relic Run is another endless running game just like Temple Run or Subway Surfer.
But of course Lara Croft: Relic Run is not totally the same as the 2 game mentioned above, this game is equipped with stunning graphics and different actions and locations.
You are not just only running, but in one section, you have to pull your trigger, shooting at the monsters. Another time, you have to pull your gas pedal, driving ATV or bike.
Another great things of this game is the game point of view may change or adapt based on your movement. When passing a bridge, for example, the camera view will move from the back of Lara to the right side of Lara. When jumping over obstacle and doing parkour, the view will change to animated view.
One thing about this game that makes me "hates" this game is the environment is so full and packed with everything, so certain times I find it difficult to differentiate between a path where Lara can step and a hole that I should avoid. So multiple times I fell on a hole that I thought there is a path to step on but there is not.
