1. Mario Kart Tour
You couldn’t avoid it this week. Nintendo has released Mario Kart Tour on the App Store. Since you now control Mario or one of the other characters with a touchscreen instead of a controller, Tour will probably play differently than you are used to.
As with Super Mario Run, Nintendo has chosen to make the entire game playable with one finger: you steer by swiping the screen and by tapping the screen you can drift and throw objects at your rivals. reach the finish line, the more stars you earn to unlock new kart cars and racers, for example.
2. Adobe Fresco
Adobe Fresco is a drawing app especially intended for the iPad in combination with Apple Pencil. It promises to be a strong competitor for Procreate. Since the program was developed by Adobe, you can also work with features from other editing applications. Fresco, for example, has over 1000 brushes from Photoshop.
A special brush has also been added with an oil effect. In addition, you can work with both vector and raster brushes, without having to switch. It is also nice that you can send projects directly to the Photoshop version on desktop. The app is free to use, but does offer in-app purchases.
3. Moon++
Do you have the Apple Watch Series 5? This smartwatch has a built-in compass so that you can see which way to go while navigating. However, you can also use the compass for other purposes, such as locating the moon.
The new Moon++ complication shows what the moon looks like in real time, taking the position of your wrist into account. You can choose between a relatively simple representation of the star body, or an image decorated with animations. Moon++ is made by an independent developer and costs 1.09 euros.
4. Lock’s Quest
In this remake of the console game, you play as Lock, a boy whose village is taken over by an evil army led by Lord Agony. It’s up to you to build up the defenses and take on the Clockwork horde.
The iOS version of Lock’s Quest has been completely redesigned, has a new Endless mode and the soundtrack has also been improved. Furthermore, the resolution has of course been polished. However, Lock’s Quest is quite expensive with its suggested retail price of 8 euros.
