penumbearPenumbear is a unique-looking platformer. It’s dark and dreary with a haunting soundtrack, but focuses on the usage of light to get through various obstacles, which is a great concept. The game stars Penumbear himself, who is a little bear that wakes up in a dark castle basement.

Poor Penumbear has just a purple firefly to keep him company, but luckily, it’s a magical firefly that is able to turn on lights, which is handy because Penumbear has the ability to walk across the lines where shadow and light meet.

mrcrabI can never resist an iOS game that offers up bright, cheery graphics and adorably endearing characters, so from the moment I opened up Mr. Crab I was hooked. The visuals are incredibly impressive, which is no surprise because this game comes from Illusion Labs, the developers behind other fantastic titles like Touchgrind and Touchgrind BMX.

In Mr. Crab, which is a fast-paced platform-style arcade game, you will play as the titular character, making your way to the top of a continually rotating sand castle while snapping up pearls and rescuing baby crabs.

gravityduckPlatform games that use polarity reversal to allow players to defy gravity are not uncommon in the App Store, but Gravity Duck takes the mechanic and slaps on a fun retro skin plus a cute duck, which, as it turns out, is a complete recipe for success.

In Gravity Duck you will take on the role of a duck who can manipulate the laws of gravity, walking on ceiling and floor alike with ease. Since Gravity Duck comes from Ravenous Games, the developers behind other hits like League of Evil and Infestor, I knew it would be a hit before I even opened the app.

appletvIt really ticked-off Amazon when Apple launched the iPad in 2010. Do you remember all of those Kindle commercials that compared it to Apple’s new tablet? The comparison was silly. The original Kindle was nothing more than an e-reader, while the iPad was a mini computer with a touch screen. Ever since that fateful day, Amazon has been trying to compete with Apple.

First, the retail giant created a music-listening cloud service to compete with iTunes. Then, they actually made a tablet that legitimately competes with the iPad. The Kindle Fire was so successful that Apple launched a smaller-sized tablet to the market, something the company’s former CEO vowed never to do.

iPad 5 mockup 1The short answer is, “no.” During Apple’s quarterly earnings call on April 23, CEO Tim Cook made it clear that we wouldn’t be seeing any new products until the fall. The real question is, can you wait until October, or even November, for a new iPad?

Based on rumors mixed with official information, it is highly likely that the fifth-generation iPad will be on store shelves this fall. From leaked photos claiming to be iPad parts, we can predict that it will look like a bigger version of the iPad mini in most respects.

Standards_of_Living_iPad_2_Feature_FilmWhen the iPad first launched in 2010, many people didn’t’ know what to think of it. Some were calling it an oversized iPod touch. Since then, we’ve heard some amazing stories about what the iPad has been used for. It is a robotic replacement for patient visits in hospitals. It has been the musical instrument for some major musical endeavors. Recently, filmmaker Aaron Mento used one to film a horror comedy. Which proves, once again, that the iPad is so much more than an oversized iPod touch.

Drummerz MainWelcome back to this week’s Sound Stage. Every week, we look for apps and accessories for musicians and fans of music. Last week, we told you about an app that is a stage performer’s best friend. I have started using Setlists at band practice every week. I can’t get my band mates to join in the fun, though. They still use flip phones.

This week, we found a fun accessory for the iPad that will turn your tablet into a drum set. Drummerz tablet drumsticks are conductive sticks that you can use right on your touch screen making it even easier to play along with those fancy beats.
