Picture Insect – Insect ID Pro
Have you ever spotted a weird bug and thought, I wonder what that is? Well, here’s an app for that. It’s called Picture Insect, and it helps you… identify insects. Simply take or upload a picture of the insect, and get accurate and instantaneous results using revolutionary AI tech. It can ID over 1000 species of insects with an accuracy rate of 95.28%. You can even track your research and share with other users in the community.
ROOMS: The Toymaker’s Mansion
Here is a unique puzzle game inspired by sliding puzzle and platformer games. In a twisted mansion made of rooms that slide like puzzle pieces, you play the role of an innocent little girl named Anne who has become trapped. Help her escape the haunted house by moving through rooms, picking up gadgets and solving the puzzles. There are 144 levels, divided into 4 mansions, a beautiful soundtrack and a full storyline with multiple endings.
Pizza Overload
If that all sounds like a little much, check out Pizza Overload. It’s a much simpler, one-finger side game in which you try and eat as much pizza as possible before the screen fills up. Move from side to side to make the pizza slices fall in your mouth, and swallow the gas bubbles to help you make room for more. There are a variety of types of pizza, a funny soundtrack and even a leaderboard. C’mon, who doesn’t like pizza?
