This past week saw the release of three new Chillingo published titles, featuring a sequel to the popular line drawing/racing app Draw Race, a casual physics game with Swing the Bat, and an infinite runner, Fruit Roll. As always, gamers can be fairly sure that these apps have been well-produced and contain strong elements of gameplay along with high quality graphics and control systems.
DrawRace 2
RedLynx, the creator of DrawRace, brings sequel DrawRace 2 to the App Store. Draw lines to control the speed and angle of the driving path, and let the race begin! Draw Race 2 comes with 32 unique tracks, tons of cars and plenty of features to unlock. DrawRace 2 also includes a Friend Challenge mode to allow users to race against their friends online, a step up from the first installment, which only had Hot Seat multiplayer. Yippee!

Swing the Bat
Swing is a bat with a little problem: his wings are too small to let him fly. That problem is solved with a little help from gamers, who can swing him through tons of levels, avoid obstacles and unlock content as he goes in this humorous, casual physics game from developer Deadbug. Swing the Bat promises to keep the gaming fun and the gamer engaged.

FiLMiC Pro offers a ton of different features. Fortunately upon first loading the app, an overlay explains what each button does as well as offers a series of tips and tricks. This proves very useful as mastering the features can make all the difference between producing an average quality video to something that looks more HD than most examples of video recording through an iOS device. 
It’s an impressive system that packs plenty in without feeling too intimidating to those who still just want to snap a quick video. Two reticules appear on screen which can be adjusted separately to change focus and exposure for precision shots, or the user can switch to a single reticule which promises particular benefits to fast action shots. 
Panic At The Pump is a hectic, multitasking, time management game that tosses players into the roll of an over-worked gas station attendant. Cars file in one-by-one, each one with a laundry list of demands, and it’s up to the player to take care of it all. They have to be quick and efficient, however, because the clock is always ticking down. Soon it won’t be enough to simply fill the tank; they’ll have to pump gas while refilling oil and putting air in the tires.
Style can go a long way to selling a game. Especially in a venue such as the App Store where garnering attention sometimes rests solely on having a cool icon or some sweet screen shots. Style can be a double-edged sword, however. Some games can spend too much energy on looks and end up with lackluster gameplay, others might fall short in the visuals department and fail to get noticed. Or in Naught‘s case, the style (great looking though it may be) can end up dragging down the overall experience a bit.
While Naught is a very stylish-looking game, what with all the sharp black and white contrasts, the visuals start to become more of a hindrance in later levels. What I mean is, everything (everything) is black and white. Hazards, items, platforms and all. The reason this creates a problem is because nothing is immediately distinct enough to say “Hi there! I’ll kill you if you touch me!” except maybe the spike pits. Making it through a large portion of a level only to die from walking on what looks like something that can be walked on can be irritating. Especially if a manual checkpoint hasn’t been placed anywhere nearby.
Propellerhead Software, well known for its audio software like Rebirth, adds Wireless Sync-Start technology to the Rebirth app for iPhone and iPad. This technology allows two iOS apps on two different devices start simultaneously. This is a free update available to users of the app.
Anki is Japanese for “memorization,” so it should be no surprise that Anki is an app for memorizing things. I almost hesitate to call it a “flashcard app,” because it’s just so much more powerful than a deck of paper flashcards. Anki employs “spaced-based repetition,” so that older, better-memorized cards are introduced at longer intervals, while newer cards are shown more often, according to Anki’s algorithm. The result is better, longer-lasting memorization.
