Play games and win prizes for doing so? Surely that’s the dream right? It was certainly my dream back when I was a kid that hoped I could somehow get away with a lifetime of playing video games.
Play2Win won’t quite pay for a mortgage or buy me holidays in the sun but there are some pretty cool prizes in there. Three games are available in all. They might not set the world on fire in terms of gaming innovation with the likes of a roulette wheel game depending more on luck than anything else amongst others. But then again it’s a free way to win things.
Prizes range from the likes of dry cleaning vouchers to massages at local spas or IKEA gift cards as well as a plethora of discounts too. The app promises that everyone’s a winner too with anyone participating at least winning a voucher for the relevant retailer. Users can browse such retailers according to what’s near them.
It certainly makes for an interesting concept. With nothing to lose, why not give Play2Win a shot? It’s free after all.

From a team of merely two developers, HamStar is all about the plight of young Elmo the hamster. He’s stuck you see and all on his own. He needs help in working his way through the 60+ levels on offer. As one would expect from a hamster, he’s stuck in his own hamster ball and needs to be swiped in the right direction to navigate the levels and pop the star balloons as he goes along. It’s not as easy as that of course though with red balloons, hamster wheels and falling toys all getting in the way. At times it might be a little frustrating but the general cutesy experience is bound to win people over.
What is there to say about golf games that hasn’t been said before? Let’s Golf 3‘s golf gameplay isn’t anything out of the ordinary; courses take place on some outlandish and nontraditional courses, such as the moon, but otherwise this is standard golfing fare. What makes Let’s Golf 3 different is that it is a freemium golf game. Players get money and experience for completing holes, which they can use to enhance their golfer’s stats and to buy new accessories that are both cosmetic and performance-enhancing.
The freemium elements of Let’s Golf 3 are the problem, because of how blatant they are. The best free-to-play games make the player feel like paying is truly optional. Let’s Golf 3 never pretends that it isn’t anything but trying to make money. From anywhere in the menu, options to buy more coins, bucks (the game’s in-app credits), and experience are easily accessible. While bucks are occasionally given out in-game, there are plenty of items that are only available with massive amounts of bucks – in this case, I mean both kinds.
Momonga’s Snow White is the story we all know and love but illustrated in what is known as the Moé style, a slang term used by anime fans to describe the style of making each character adorable to look at. This app offers the book of Snow White with not just an anime twist in terms of looks but also music with the soundtrack composed by Kumi Tanioka, of Final Fantasy fame. As the screenshots show, the app looks glorious and the music is similarly of a high quality.
:: EXPLOSIVE FUN
It’s a little unorthodox, but The Last Rocket is very much a retro platformer. Just not quite in the “running along a 2D plane and jumping on a flagpole” sense. Instead, players guide Flip through 64 rooms filled with all manner of unpleasantness while trying to collect as many gears as they can. Since he’s a self-propelled explosive and not a plumber, Flip’s movement is mostly limited to flying straight up. Although various elements sprinkled throughout each room (such as fans and conveyor belts) can adjust his trajectory.
In space, no one can hear you bounce around. Or scream. Or hear anything, for that matter.
