Although the Cydia Store has been quiet this week in terms of jailbreak tweak releases, the App Store is still bustling with all kinds of new apps and games that are just waiting for you to download and try out. With that in mind, take a gander as we share some apps with you that are worth taking a look at this weekend.

Super Phantom Cat

Going back to the good old days when platformer games were the bomb, Super Phantom Cat brings back the nostalgia you get when you pick up games like Super Mario and reminisce on your childhood. Super Phantom Cat is a fast-paced and hardcore platformer game with clean graphics and animations and a fun plot to play through. This game is available for $1.99.

Sloth – Task Manager

If you’re a chronic procrastinator and have trouble getting things done throughout the day, then it might be time to look for something to help you manage your time better throughout the day, and Sloth is a great task manager tool that can help you do just that. It’s perfect for helping you create routines and lets you set the length of each individual task so you don’t spend too much time on it. What’s more is it comes with a Notification Center widget so you can keep track of everything right from Notification Center. This app is available for free.

LogoScopic Studio

A free tool, this app lets you create powerful logos for your small business or brand. The app comes with a huge selection of tools, templates, fonts, and more that you can use to fashion together your own personal logo that will be different from anyone else’s. There are well over 850 different logo templates and 100 different fonts, making for a seemingly limitless amount of possibilities. The app even lets you save or export your logo for printing. This app is available for free.

Synesthetic

Music lovers, this pick is for you; this game takes any song in your music library and turns it into a playable level. In Synesthetic, you ride along a roller coaster in a beautiful butter-smooth 60 FPS, dodging anything that gets in your way. Speed, colors, and more change with the flow of the beat and rhythm of your music, so every song in your library makes for a completely different gaming experience. This game is available for $2.99.

Inquire by Tamper

Discovering interesting things around you has never been so easy – with Inquire by Tamper, you can view curated content unique to your specific location, including information about historic locations, fun facts, news articles, and more. If you’ve ever wondered about what’s new in the places you live, or where you visit, this app is a great way to get in touch with your surroundings and really get to know a location better. This app is available for $1.99.

Surfingers

A fun game indeed, Surfingers will challenge you to surf as far as you can without toppling over and going through all kinds of different terrains and obstacles meant to slow you down. There are various characters to unlock, and many dangers to avoid along the way. The swipe-based interface is fun and easy to get to used to, and the graphics and sounds will keep you coming back for what feels like the perfect game. This game is available for free.

This past week may have been slow for the news cycle, but it didn’t stop us from pumping out some useful information, like how to watch live TV on Apple TV, how to remove iOS configuration profiles, and how to open a new private window in Safari.

If you’ve had your fill of learning new things about your iPhone and are looking for some fun content to download, check out our list of apps and games this weekend.

Rogue Agent

I love a good stealth game, especially when the game has interesting elements to it. It’s about more than just avoiding getting caught. In this game, players must escape rooms while avoiding detection from some fairly uninterested guards. You can pick up interesting gadgets, like a scramble suit that will camouflage you so you can walk right past guards, and play mini games, like lock picking or wiring. There are also extras that you can unlock by taking more difficult routes to the exit, like designer commentary and additional levels. This game is available for $2.99.

Hyperspektiv

Just when you thought there couldn’t possibly be a new way to add filters to photos, Phantom Force comes along and mixes it all up again. This app distorts your images in real-time with what the company calls, “techno-kaleidoscope.” You pick one of the psychedelic filters and then slide your finger across the view screen to watch it transform into weirder images. You can record the effects in real time and save it as a mini clip. It works with photo or video and will eventually support camera roll imports (for now, you have to use the in-app camera) This app is available for $1.99.

The Westport Independent

What would it be like to live in a country where you couldn’t just write whatever you wanted? What if your job depended on your ability to silence the opposition? What if the government and the rebels wanted your help? Who’s side would you take? This game explores these concepts as a censorship simulator that takes place in a post-war country where the government wants to crush the rebellion and the rebels want your help. Your job is to delete sentences, alter context, and generally censor content before it goes to print. This game is available for $4.99.

5oosh

In this new age of social media, it is easier than ever to connect with celebrities in a more personal way. Whether you follow them on Twitter, Instagram, or whatever social medium you prefer, you can see what your favorite actors, musicians, and artists are up to. This app takes it one step further and provides an outlet for famous people to engage with their fans more directly. Celebrities could, potentially, have a one-on-one conversation with fans, send pre-recorded messages to specific people, and offer personalized memorabilia. Now, it’s just a matter of getting your favorite actor to actually use the service. This app is available for free.

Dungelot: Shattered Lands

Fans of the roguelike genre will be happy to know that there is another Dungelot title in the App Store now. In this dungeon crawl, players must defeat the typical enemies, like skeleton warriors and ghastly ghosts, and also watch out for such new enemies as zombie cows and evil mushrooms. With a minesweeper style mechanic, players try to navigate a room full of hidden monsters, while grabbing the loot before hitting the exit. You can trade your current power for a better one if you come across a merchant, and unlock mini games if you don’t die first. This game is available for $3.99.

ZCast

Many of us secretly wish we could put together and publish an awesome podcast that would somehow change the world, or at least entertain our friends. However, creating and managing a podcast can be daunting, and even scary for some. Plus, you tend to need special equipment, software, and at least a little know-how to make it work. With this app, all you need to do is tap a few buttons and you are casting your opinion to the world, in real-time. You can easily invite others to join your conversation, and get immediate feedback from your listeners with comments. This app is available for free.

Lords of Discord

It’s time to get your classic RPG on. From the same game development company that brought you Warhammer 40,000: Space Wolf comes a new tale with an old-school theme. Gather a party of adventurers and head out into a world, ravaged by evil. Fight, in turn-based combat, against the likes of orcs, dark elves, and those pesky undead. Each member of your party has useful abilities that will aid you as a group. You can overthrow territories and use the land’s resources to help build and advance your own castle. This game is available for free.
