- Toto Temple Deluxe, Juicy Beast Studio – $9.99
Toto Temple Deluxe is a fast-paced, local-multiplayer king-of-the-hill style game, in which players must steal an egg-laying goat from their friends and try to keep it on their own head for as long as possible. You know, normal stuff. Be the first to grab the explosive goat and keep it long enough for it to detonate near your soon-to-be-dead rivals. Lose the goat and the timer resets. Play as teams or in free-for-all.
- VoxelMaker, Nostatic Software – $4.99
Create 3D models of your own design and render them with realistic lighting and shadows. Voxel models are made from cubes giving a stylized, “blocky” look – like 3D pixel art.
