timesurferTime Surfer from Kumobius, the team behind Bean’s Quest, is an endless glider that can easily be described as Tiny Wings with a different skin. You may be controlling a surfer instead of a bird, and the game has added power ups, but the basic gameplay is the same.

The Cupertino-based company said that it had exclusive rights to the term “App Store,” and that Amazon’s similar “Appstore” name would confuse developers and consumers attempting to access Apple’s store.

Apple, who owns the “App Store” trademark, sued Amazon for using the name, and today, U.S. Magistrate Judge Elizabeth Laporte told the two companies that they must enter settlement talks before being allowed to fight over the name in a courtroom.
