Apptastic Friday!
Apptastic Friday is here with old school games and photo editors.
Color Magic
Color Magic is by far one of the best photo manipulation tools for free, currently on the iPhone. For some odd reason people just love the not so new trick of having a black and White image and only a particular object in color. Color Magic not only enables you to do so, but it also makes it so much easier because you don’t have to pay $1000 for Photoshop (or get a virus on your computer for torrent downloads). Not to mention the design degree and hour long altering.
Just load an image in amd your good to go. The controls get a bit screwy at times when applying the specific color or black and white brush strokes. If the image scrolling was turned off on the brush settings it would be much more functional. Aside from that you can’t beat free. There also additional editing tools that you can purchase within the application.
Play This recommends Color Magic for anyone who doesn’t know how to use Photoshop.
Skifree
Skifree is back, but lacking what made the basic 8-bit game fun. Currently the skier can still jump off tiny rainbows resting on the ground while avoiding rocks, tree stumps and trees; however, the yetti is missing!
No longer is there a theat of a fat white hairy beast coming to gobble you up on your already tretcherous ski trip of rocks and magic rainbows. The developer has stated that in an upcoming update the yetti will be included. On the otherhand this ge was stolen, name and all, so it will probably be removed anyways. You might as well get the game now before it’s removed from Apple.
Skifree will be recommended when our favorite monster makes his triumphant return.
Monkey Flight
A rather basic game from developers Donught Games but worth a few minutes of time to kill. Monkey flight’s goal is to gather as many points as possible simply by launching a monkey into a world of mud pits, random fruit that defy gravity, elephants and rocks. This game is generally matched best to a simple mini game -fun for kids, not so much the older crowd – but it is free. There are three modes, all of
which still hold the goal of gaining the most points.
Monkey Flight is not on our recommendation list.
‘stachetastic
The only game with appropriate punctuatuion allows anyone to magically grow a mustache. No longer will you look like a prepubesant teenager or whipy girl, as this app will provide you with the means to grow a power mustache. Alright, so you can’t actually grow a mustache but you can certainly place some awesome mustaches on yourself and post it to Facebook. Hey, we won’t tell if you don’t.
The app also provides fros, grills and various other hairy artifact add on’s to make you even more manly then before. The share function that can be seen to the left allows you to share and vote on other peoples hairy creations.
Additional add on’s like the pirate hat and eye patch cost extra, which can be purchased though the in-app store.
‘Stachetastic is a clever photo manipulation tool that everyone should have.
Digg
Digg, the motherload of all things Internet has officially released an app and boy is it sweet. Track all of your comments, perhaps even make some more and obviously not doing any of your real work.
Now that the Digg app is available you won’t have to fumble through a slow loading safari browsing mobile site. When you meet the girl of your drams and she is talking about Merton the Chatroulette Improv singer (we did beat college humor on that posting, bastards), you can save the day with his video, straight from your Digg app. Not to mention bagging the girl and waking up next to the real likeness of Meg Griffin instead.
For those who are also trying to become viral kings (or queens) this will also help you track your diggs on the go as well a quickly sharing a possibly funny image before anyone else gets it. Then two years later when you get an e-mail from your mom that reads FW:FW:FW:RE:FW:sooo funny!!!1 and you see your image, you’ll know it’s time to take your throne.
