LEGO® Star Wars™: TFA

Android Police coverage: LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens beeps and bops its way onto Android

At one time we could expect to wait a year or more for the latest LEGO licensed games to make it to Android - now we're down to a couple of months. That's progress. The LEGO version of Star Wars 7 combines the narrative of the movie with LEGO's usual action-adventure formula: lots of fairly basic combat and puzzles, a few vehicle stages, and a ton of unlockable characters. This one seems to be a cut above the usual 3DS/Vita ports in terms of graphics, too. It's a free download with a single $10 in-app purchase to unlock the full game.

Relive the galaxy's greatest adventure in LEGO® Star Wars™: The Force Awakens™ for mobile. Play as heroic characters from the movie, including Rey, Finn, Poe Dameron, Han Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO and BB-8, as well as Kylo Ren and General Hux. LEGO® Star Wars™: The Force Awakens™ immerses fans in the new Star Wars™ adventure like never before, retold through the clever and witty LEGO lens. Additionally, players will experience previously untold story levels that explore the time leading up to Star Wars™: The Force Awakens™.

Guild of Dungeoneering

Android Police coverage: Versus Evil releases Guild of Dungeoneering, an RPG that will increase in price over time

Most developers release special editions or pre-order bonuses to try and increase game sales early on in the cycle. Not Versus Evil: their approach is to make the game bigger and more expensive as the developers work on it. That's essentially mandatory DLC for later buyers, but it's an interesting incentive model nonetheless. Guild of Dungeoneering's gameplay is unique, too: the computer controls the "hero" and the player uses a deck system to build a dungeon around him.

Become the ultimate Dungeon Master as you bribe, entice and coax your heroes through their adventures on a quest to restore your guild to its ultimate glory. Guild of Dungeoneering is a unique turn-based RPG with a twist: instead of controlling the hero, you build the dungeon around him. Using cards drawn from your Guild decks, you lay down rooms, monsters, traps and of course loot. Meanwhile your hero is making his own decisions on where to go and what to fight.

Rooms of Doom - Minion Madness

Android Police coverage: The latest game from Crossy Road publisher is the endless runner Rooms of Doom

The publisher who made Crossy Road can more or less print money at this point - after releasing several popular casual games, they're on a roll. The latest is Rooms of Doom, an endless runner that shifts the theme and the perspective. You control any number of adorably blocky critters as they progress through some remarkably creative levels, with elements and play styles that shift from room to room. The game is free with random character unlocks, but you can get any one you wish for a buck.

Play as Dr. Doom’s minions where you will run, jump, slide, fly, swim and barrel blast your way through Dr. Doom’s endless rooms. Will it be a combination of a bird and a banana? A sheep and a wolf? Or maybe a bear with a bee? Which minion will prove strong enough to help Dr. Doom take over the world?!

• Put your reflexes to the test as you dash between 12 different rooms, each with their own gameplay, with many more rooms come.
• Unlock and upgrade over 25 minion hybrids, each with unique skills, abilities and rare skins to collect
• Evade spiders, piranhas, ghosts, fireballs, alligators and more as you move through THE ROOMS OF DOOOOOOOM.

Legends of Heropolis

Android Police coverage: Kairosoft releases Legends of Heropolis, a free-to-play pixel art RPG

Kairosoft is getting in on the superhero genre, or at least the uniquely Japanese "Super Sentai" approach to it. (If you don't know what that is, think Power Rangers.) Legends of Heropolis is more like an old-school, turn-based RPG than the company's usual management games, though there's still a town builder mode. This one is free and ad-supported - unfortunately it has in-app purchases that go up to a staggering $70.

The town of Heropolis has been destroyed. Can you rebuild it to be the center of justice once more? Grow your heroes, gather your friends, and battle evil in this superhero simulation game. In a town devastated by the nefarious Evilcorp, all hope seems lost... yet the flames of justice aren't so easily quenched. One gallant hero won't rest until their town is restored to its former glory.

Borderlands 2

Android Police coverage: Borderlands 2 makes its way to the SHIELD Android TV for $15

Borderlands is back on the SHIELD TV, and this time it's brought its A-game. Borderlands 2 is widely considered the best entry in the shooter-looter series thanks to solid mechanics, varied environments and enemies, and a surprisingly great storyline. The SHIELD version isn't quite the same spectacle it was on the PC a few years ago, but it's still among the most technically impressive games on any Android system... even if that's exactly one system at the moment.

Play as one of four new vault hunters facing off against a massive new world of creatures, psychos and the evil mastermind, Handsome Jack exclusively for NVIDIA Shield Android TV and Tablet. Make new friends, arm them with a bazillion weapons and fight alongside them in 4 player co-op on a relentless quest for revenge and redemption across the undiscovered and unpredictable living planet.

Star Nomad 2

This top-down space fighter game with RPG elements isn't the first to use the format, but it ticks all the boxes for fans of a very particular genre. Players upgrade their ship and themselves for combat or trade across a 2D galaxy, and though the art is sprite-based, it's no less impressive for that. Star Nomad 2 uses a roguelike setup to keep you invested (and scared), and players can build up a diverse fleet of AI ships to protect their interests. It's $8 with no in-app purchases.

Set in a dynamic open-world sandbox with an evolving conflict between three major splinter groups of humanity, players can freely be merchants, bounty hunters, pirates, miners, smugglers or wanderers. Your actions or in-actions, big or small carry consequences that are noticed by the inhabitants and factions. Empires will rise and fall, take a side, or sow the seeds of anarchy. Be immersed in a universe that's alive with random events offering pilots an opportunity for exploitation.

Crusader Kings: Chronicles

Crusader Kings is a popular strategy series on the PC. This mobile game doesn't follow the same format - it would be more or less impossible with touch controls - but instead shifts to a text-based "gamebook" RPG. It's a smart use of the materials at hand: Crusader Kings Chronicles allows players to go through a somewhat fictionalized medieval conflict from the perspective of a would-be king, offering many solutions to complex problems. It costs a bit less than $5 with extra campaigns unlocked for three bucks each.

Crusader Kings: Chronicles is an interactive text based game that puts you in the shoes of Guy de Rose as you make your own choices in defending the castle, riding into battle, plotting cunning plans and maybe even engaging in a bit of carnal sin. Crusader Kings: Chronicles takes place in the middle of the war-torn borderlands, where the Scots and the Brits battle for the power and all sense of chivalry is only skin-deep.

Battlefleet Gothic: Leviathan

Battlefield Gothic is a tabletop game that remixes the elements of the Warhammer 40,000 universe into a spaceship battle affair. This mobile edition of the board game ignores the PC version to keep the gameplay turn-based. Players get control of one of the universe's four primary factions, managing gigantic capital ships and smaller, more nimble attack vessels. A single-player campaign is augmented with multiplayer, but unfortunately it's local only. The game is $6, but it's been very well-received by early players and Warhammer fans.

Dive into Battlefleet Gothic with the epic void battles of the Shield of Baal campaign, from Warhammer 40,000. Control the devastating fleets of the Imperial Navy and the brutal hard-hitting Space Marines to repulse the dreadful and voracious Tyranids. Use strategy to manage your warships through the Cryptus system, protect the galaxy, improve your gigantic fleets and annihilate the invader before it's too late.

Linia

Linia is a super-minimal twitch game that tasks players with drawing a single line through a constantly-shifting play field. The point is to draw a line that gets all of the colors in the legend, in order. Since the board is always moving, sometimes in unpredictable and space-bending ways, it takes perfect timing and direction to get some of the objectives. The game has an unusually unique premise, and the price is right at $2 with 80 levels and no extra purchases.

Linia is a colorful puzzle game that mixes a relaxing atmosphere with brain melting challenges. In Linia, you create color sequences by tracing a line connecting coloured shapes. Sounds easy enough, right? Not quite. Imagine when colors are running around, revolving, hiding, changing shape and doing everything they can to avoid being caught by your line. It will take skill and sense of rhythm to get the sequence right. Are you up for the challenge?

klocki

Klocki is a fairly standard sliding tile puzzle, with a twist. The setup is the same as the puzzles that are practically ancient, pre-dating video games and computers, but the 3D perspective allows the playing field to be extended over multi-dimensional shapes. It's an impressive little hook, and the game's simple setup facilitates focus on the puzzles rather than the fluff. It's only a dollar with no in-app purchases.

"klocki" is my second puzzle game after successful "Hook". Its a relaxing game, that is loaded with a lot of different features. Your goal is to connect different types of lines together. Calming music and sounds were made by Wojciech Wasiak. Thank you for playing and supporting me.

Soundtrack Attack

Stephen Universe is one of those rare kids shows that seems to have quite a bit of adult appeal as well. This branded game features the much-loved characters going through a setup that deftly mixes endless running with DDR-style rhythm tapping. The music and visuals make an experience that matches the lighthearted tone of the source material, and though Soundtrack Attack has ads, there are no in-app purchases.

Soundtrack Attack is a rhythm runner set to the music of Steven Universe. Let’s do this. Tap, hold, and swipe along to the music to unleash awesome attacks and outrun the Homeworld gems in Soundtrack Attack - Steven Universe. Choose a Quartz, Ruby, or Pearl and make them your own. Customize your gem with hair, outfits, accessories, and weapons. Unlock even more options as you play. Soundtrack Attack features the music from the Steven Universe soundtrack, including remixes of “We Are the Crystal Gems,” “Stronger Than You,” “Steven and the Stevens,” “Giant Woman,” and many more.

Eden: The Game

If you took the base-building and resource management principles of the RTS genre and then gave them a survivalist makeover, you'd get something like Eden. The game removes the combat from that familiar setup and replaces it with a nice, peaceful beginning of civilization premise. (In... Scotland? Okay.) The low-poly graphics are simple in a very intentional way that I dig, and though the game is "freemium" the IAP tops out at just six dollars. Nice.

"What if we could start again?” Find out for yourself in this, the official game of the series, Eden, where you must help your very own community grow on the same remote Scottish location. You're responsible for prioritising everything they must do every day; will you have them constructing more camp buildings? Farming? Hunting? Scavenging? Remember to keep the campfire burning brightly to keep morale up - and to customise and decorate the camp to make it feel more homely.

Frederic: Director's Cut

We've already seen two Frederic games on Android (multiple times, in fact), but this is a remastered version of the original. Players progress through a trippy story about an undead composer interspersed with standard tap-in-time rhythm mechanics. This new version includes improved mobile controls, new stages, a new multiplayer mode, and a complete lack of ads or in-app purchases for just two dollars.

New version of cult game with new levels and multiplayer. Play Bollywood and Stambul - two new stages, and watch new movies with it's peculiar story. Now you can challenge for a musical duel any user from around the world. Step into Frederic Chopin's shoes, and embark onto an one-of-a-kind adventure through musical genre in this remastered enhanced version.

All is Lost

All Is Lost is a surprising mix of endless runner, science fiction, and existential horror. The purpose of the game is to save residents of a space station. Controls are a mix of taps and swipes, giving the game a somewhat casual feel that doesn't match the desperate tone of the setting, but that doesn't mean that it isn't entertaining. 3D graphics on top of 2D gameplay are enjoyable, and $1 unlocks the entire experience. (The developers say there aren't any IAPs, though the game has an IAP tag on the Play Store - I'm going to take their word for it and assume a Play Store error.)

In the distant future, mankind is scattered across a vast and dangerous universe. The crews of massive space stations live in a constant struggle for survival. How many can you save?

• explore a variety of spacecraft as you rescue crew members from certain doom
• intuitively control your character and the environment as you navigate a path to safety
• experience gorgeous visuals in a variety of cosmic environments
• no in-app purchases and no ads
• achievements and online leaderboards

Quaser One

Shhhh, nobody tell the developers that "quasar" isn't spelled with an E, okay? Aside from the annoyingly misspelled title, Quasar One offers a super-simple resource management game with a spacefaring theme. Strategy fans who are tired of a combat focus might find something endearing in the cerebral progression, and there's a story that unfolds as you struggle to keep your ship flying. $1 gets you in with no in-app purchases, and there's a sandbox mode once you finish the main story.

Challenging sci-fi resource management game. You are on board the spaceship Quaser in this resource management game. You have to survive managing 5 different sections of the ship with limited resources until you reach your destination.

* Space survival and resource management

* Unique strategic gameplay

* Polished HD graphics

* A dark and melancholic ambience

* Epic enigmatic story

* Regular content and balance updates

Snakebird

Snakebird mixes the practically ancient twitch principles of Snake (you know, the one you played on your Nokia in 1998) with a logic puzzle setup. Players need to move the titular critter through levels, keeping it from falling off platforms or running into hazards while munching down on fruit (extending its length) before hitting the exit. The concept and the graphics are both simple, but they're well-executed. The game has IAP, but it tops out at about $5.

What is the longest possible length a bird can be? Obviously a question only all the fruit in the world can answer. But where could all this fruit be hiding? Follow Redbird, Greenbird and Bluebird on a quest for an amount of fruit beyond any birds wildest dreams. Snakebird is a very simple but deceptively challenging puzzle game about assuming the right shapes for the task at hand, be it pushing, lifting, teleporting or just defying the laws of physics.

THE GAME OF LIFE: 2016 Edition

This mobile version of the familiar board game seems to be somewhat liberal in its interpretation. The 3D graphics and social-heavy pushes don't resemble the old game much, but the essential randomized progression is down there somewhere. The mobile game includes online multiplayer and a "fast mode" for players who don't have an hour or two to get through the classic version. It's $3 with no in-app purchases, though early players complain of frequent bugs.

MAKE CHOICES, GET PAID, OR LOSE IT ALL. Attend college, accept a job and play minigames in this interactive app that is fun for the whole family. Watch as board piece characters come to life and make their way through the various stages of life on this spectacular, 3D animated reworking of the familiar physical board. PLAY MULTIPLAYER MODE ONLINE.

Try Harder

Try Harder is one of those games that seems to revel in its sadistic hatred of players. It's broadly an endless runner, though the insane level of obstacles makes it more of a gauntlet than a casual title. Power-ups add new modes that only seem to increase the difficulty thanks to new speed and movement mechanics. If you'd care for an alternative to beating your head against a brick wall, this one is free with no in-app purchases.

Not a suggestion. Not a pro-tip. TRY HARDER is a mandate. Sprint headlong into certain death and put your mobile reflexes to the test. Run longer. Jump higher. Try harder. If none of those work: TRY HARDER.

• Run, jump and glide through a horrible gauntlet of aesthetically pleasing death traps.
• Add to your trail of corpses with every failure, then trample them to victory.
• Grab power-ups to avoid traps and last a few more precious seconds.

RPG Bonds of the Skies

Kemco's latest Android RPG doesn't fall far from its anime-inspired tree. Bonds of the Skies takes the NES approach, with simple top-down pixel environments and turn-based combat to move through a medieval fantasy story. There's not much here you haven't seen before from Kemco's rapid-fire RPGs, but anyone looking for a new story will be happy for it anyway. This free version is ad-supported while the pro version is ad-free, but both have considerable IAP upsells.

Join a range of characters, each with their own distinct personalities, as they travel with the gods through the expansive world of this adventure RPG. Times are changing, and the existence of the Grimoas (gods) has become less relevant in everyday life. Eil, the main character of the story, is in the middle of his Coming-of-Age ceremony, conducted by the Priest of his town, when suddenly the town is attacked by a demon and engulfed in flames.

LEGO® Ninjago™ WU-CRU

LEGO seems especially committed to Ninjago, one of its only toy lines that doesn't owe royalties to other pop culture icons, because they're releasing quite a few games in this series. This one is a self-styled RPG, but that really means basic action-adventure with a few twists thrown into the stylized combat. It seems markedly similar to more conventional LEGO games, but in its defense, it's free with no in-app purchases.

Join the WU-CRU. Calling all Ninjas, Master Wu needs you. A Ninja alone is powerful, but a ninja team is unstoppable. Join the fight in this epic RPG as you rescue and team up with Jay, Zane, Nya, Cole and Kai to battle evil and save Ninjago Island. Evil never stops, so join the WU-CRU now.

• Make your own ninja and master ninja skills: stealth and combat.
• Rescue and fight alongside your favourite Ninjago characters.
• Personalise your CRU of ninja before each battle.
• Collect blueprints and unlock Ninjago vehicles.
• Explore the entire LEGO® Ninjago universe and battle iconic villains.
• 60+ levels to unlock.

SBK16 Official Mobile Game

The people behind the Superbike races keep trying to push a high-end mobile game, year after year. 2016's entry doesn't seem all that different from SBK15 (get it?) - the same forgettable 3D graphics, the same standard racer-sim setup, the same licensed bikes and tracks. There's a new first-person racing view and a new test mode, and the game supports external controllers, but early reviews complain of frequent game-breaking bugs. The new free-to-play setup at least limits the IAP to under three dollars.

The 2016 Motul FIM Superbike World Championship has a new contender and that is YOU: the SBK Official Mobile Game is back and now totally FREE TO PLAY. Experience the thrill of handling a 200 HP beast, speeding through the most challenging race tracks in the world: Aprilia, Kawasaki, Honda, Ducati, MV Agusta, BMW or Yamaha… the choice is yours. Compete against reigning Champion Jonathan Rea and other real SBK riders or measure your riding skills in the new Test Ride mode to unlock a game-changing reward.

Dead Shell: Roguelike RPG

Herocraft's latest mobile game proudly bills itself as a roguelike RPG. That leaves out a few details: one, there's no direct control. Instead you simply move your character through a linear progression of bad guys and loot, only attacking the "list" with a single button. Dungeons are procedurally generated. The focus on enemies alone means the pace is fast, but the tired pixel graphics and free-to-play setup are drags on the experience.

Blaster-wielding mercenaries vs beasts from the labyrinth: who will win? You're commanding a die-hard assault squad. Destination: Plutonia, a settlement on a Doom-4 class planet. Shuttle cargo: a range of lethal weapons, from axes and chainsaws to blasters and BFGs. Anything might come in handy in Plutonia, the Federation's most remote colony.

Train Conductor World

In Train Conductor World, you manage a bunch of locomotives as they zip across the tracks, throwing switches and laying new rails fast enough to give a real conductor or engineer a panic attack. It's all about controlled chaos, and watching the cartoon destruction after you inevitably mess up. The gameplay is 2D with bright 3D graphics, and it should be familiar enough to fans of similar games. Upgrades are largely cosmetic, but IAP still goes up to forty bucks.

Train Conductor World is a high-speed train traversal puzzler; trundle, turn and track in this spectacular European adventure. Conduct and control the tracks, manage movement and watch your rail network grow. You’ll need nerves of steel and snappy strategy to keep the chaos under control. Be on high-alert for explosive crashes, near-misses and split second situations. Adventure across new terrain and connect the wonders of the European continent.

Game of Drones

Haha. Game of Drones. I'd laugh harder, but Futurama used the same pun months ago for a Bejeweled ripoff. This non-branded version comes from Herocraft, who use it for a top-down, real-time strategy game that focuses on head-to-head combat rather than base building or resource management. The system uses semi-random cards to enhance combat and strategy, and there's a long single-player campaign - something not often seen in latter free-to-play games. IAP goes up to $50.

Game of Drones: conquer the post-nuclear war world where NATO, the USA and Ukraine are no more. Instead, new all-powerful global alliances have emerged, engulfing every other state. Command armies of drone tanks in this sci-fi strategy game that combines the classic gameplay of old school Dune-style RTSs, trading card game tactics, and key elements of MOBA games. Game of Drones: a cruel, dark dystopia is a perfect place for anyone with ambitions to become a World War III hero and bury the shards of human civilization in the chaos of the last war.

Dots & Co

This puzzle game from the maker of Two Dots expands the original puzzle concept with some impressive and appealing design. At its core the game is about making strategic, like-colored lines through the variable stages, but the additions of special moves (in the form of companion characters) keeps things fresh. Different tools and power-ups make the handmade stages unique, and the flat environments are visually appealing. Unfortunately IAP goes up to $100.

Explore beautiful landscapes and embark on a visual journey by solving puzzles with magical companions that help you along the way. Are you ready, adventurer? Let’s go. WHY YOU’LL LOVE DOTS & CO

• FREE to play.

• CHALLENGE yourself with 155 NEW and completely original levels, fun for Dots loyalists and new players alike

• SOLVE clever puzzles containing over 15 visual mechanics using your wits to figure out the perfect move

• TRAVEL through beautiful landscapes and get lost in the world of Dots & Co

• PLAY beautifully

Chaos Legends

Snail Games is really making a name for itself when it comes to high-end online RPGs on mobile. This one ditches the panda theme in favor of a more standard mythical Chinese setting, and the top-down gameplay is a mix between an action-RPG like Diablo and an old-fashioned brawler. The hook is massive multiplayer battles, with up to 500 players on a side in live clan combat. Like other Snail games, Chaos Legends uses the usual free-to-play, $100 IAP setup.

The land lays torn apart by civil war, as a once mighty people ruptures into two rival nations in an endless struggle for dominance. As the forces of men plot ever more unforgivable aggressions upon one another, an unseen evil lingers in the darkness, growing stronger with each passing day. Mystical forces are at play, as demons and monsters ascend for their hidden reaches to lay waste to the vulnerable realm of man. This is a time of chaos, where danger hides around every corner. It is the stuff of legends, will you rise to the challenge?

Tinker Island

Tinker Island takes the survival aspects of games like Don't Starve and adapts them to a simpler interface for mobile play, with a lot of the combat and crafting mechanics replaced with turn-based facsimiles. The pixel graphics, pop culture stand-ins, and Pokémon knock-off monsters betray a depressing lack of originality, but the mechanics and gameplay are solid enough. It's free with $100 in-app purchases, so prepare to pay or get through the grind.

Shipwrecked on a deserted island. Only you can help the survivors escape... You're cast away on a TROPICAL ISLAND. Become the leader of SURVIVORS in this lost PARADISE. Take them on an ADVENTURE of a lifetime - build a base, explore mysteries or forage treasures. FIGHT vicious enemies, tame savage beasts, kindle romance and solve RIDDLES. When the island SPEAKS to you, will you answer?

Jetpack Fighter

Jetpack Fighter offers fast-paced platforming with combat that's focused on a dash mechanic: aim and release your bobble-headed anime character and he or she will obliterate anything in front of them. The stages are a mix of linear progression, more open spaces for zip-zap fighting, and big screen-filling bosses. It would be higher on this list if the IAP didn't go up to a hundred bucks, and if early players weren't encountering so many crashes.

SMASH EVIL ROBOTS. Slash your way to victory in the fast action, high-flying Jetpack Fighter. DASH through the skyscrapers of Mega City. SMASH EVIL ROBOTS and leave a trail of destruction in your wake. GEAR UP with scores of powerful weapons, items and armor. COLLECT NEW FIGHTERS and master each unique hero. Blaze a path through DOZENS OF UNIQUE LEVELS. Face Off against KILLER BOSSES. And GO FASTER to race your best times and climb the esports leaderboards.

ReRunners - Race for the World

ReRunners takes the somewhat tired setup of an endless runner and adds multiplayer elements. The 2D stages are filled with power-ups and environments that enable some advanced techniques to give skilled players an edge, plus conventional platforming obstacles. The online multiplayer setup is impressive for a mobile game, though the $100 in-app purchases mean that the competitive aspect of the game might get unbalanced rather quickly.

Run, jump, and use devious weapons to become the fastest Runner of all time. Compete in breakneck, multiplayer races against friends and other people you don’t care about. Embark on an outlandish tale of good and evil, Tortoise and Hare, and fight your way towards the Race of the World, the greatest race in history. The fate of the universe rests between your thumbs.

TMNT: Half-Shell Heroes

Between the movies, the Nickelodeon TV show, and this game, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles seem to be targeting every age group between 4 and 40. Half-Shell Heroes is a decidedly kid-friendly activity toybox with a collection of minigames that shift between basic logic puzzles and simple hand-eye coordination exercises. It won't appeal to adults, but then it's not designed to do so. It's a bit pricey at $4, but there are no in-app purchases, which is a major plus for this market.

An official Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game made just for your young learner. The TMNT: Half-Shell Heroes app invites your child to join Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Donatello on an action-filled quest through the sewers and streets of New York City. Help the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles battle the bad guys, practice ninja skills and take on exciting missions.

Goodnight, Johnny Tractor

"Goodnight, Johnny Tractor" sounds like a ripoff of Goodnight Moon that's been commissioned by John Deere. And that's pretty much exactly what it is! In this interactive storybook, the objective is to guide a green tractor as he says goodnight to pretty much every animal and Deere-branded product on the farm. There are puzzles and activities to shake things up, but no real surprises. What is a nice surprise is that the game is $3 with no in-app purchases, something we always like to see in titles for kids.

As the sun sets over Merryweather Farm, Johnny Tractor and Allie Gator search for their good friend, Corey Combine. Its bedtime. Where can he be? As they search, Johnny and Allie interact with, and wish ‘goodnight’ to, all their animal friends across Merryweather Farm. Goodnight, Johnny Tractor is an endearing bedtime-themed interactive storybook. As is the case with all Johnny Tractor and Friends stories, Goodnight, Johnny Tractor conveys the importance of teamwork and friendship.

Skateboard Party 3 Lite Greg

Here's a "Lite" (read: free) version of the latest game in the Skateboard Party series. The third entry really should have been free in the first place, since it had $70 in-app purchases despite being a paid game, so consider this an appropriate re-adjustment of reality. The Tony Hawk-inspired gameplay and online multiplayer is intact.

Skateboard Party is back. This third edition of the popular sports franchise features professional skater Greg Lutzka. Skateboard Party 3 brings the thrill of skateboarding to your mobile device. Hop on your board, learn new tricks and improve your skills in 8 completely unique locations. Play with your friends using the online multiplayer mode or challenge skaters from all over the world on the leaderboards. Complete over 70 level objectives and achievements, gain experience and upgrade your favorite skater with the coolest gear.
