Big Win Basketball is the latest offering from Hothead Games, and this time you’ll be forming your own dream team and go up against other players around the world. Hothead has released other games like this before, and this is one of their best efforts yet. With the various card packs available, you’ll be able to assemble a winning team in no time.

Josh Sizemore: The Wind

Get caught up in ‘the wind’, get caught up on Josh Sizemore‘s awesome debut. This 23-year-old Nashville prodigy’s taking a bite out of the folk scene, as he releases his EP, The Wind. Opening for the likes of Shovels & Rope, Brooke Waggoner, and War Jacket, Josh is now taking center stage, and his four-track offering simply dazzles.

Glide Video Texting

Glide is a video chatting app that provides you with one tap video messaging and an option to chat in groups or one on one. In addition, the app from Glide lets you add friends quickly via PIN sharing, and you can send and receive as many messages as you like.

Alice: Staying South

If you ask us, we prefer to “stay south”, at least within the realms of Alice‘s world. The pretty songstress chooses to remain unknown to the world except for her mononym (her real name is Alice Redfem), which is perfectly acceptable since we’d gladly accept that she use her talents to get famous, rather than, well, twirk.

Splashy Fish

Splashy Fish from Massiomo Guareschi is a deceptively simple game where you tap the screen of your mobile device to make your fish fly. In addition to teaching your fish how to roam about, you also have to get by the obstacles in your way, discover treasures and rack up points and beat other players.

Avenue: Garage Days

Aptly titled Garage Days, Avenue’s EP is a your average pop punk fare, but with a twist: the usual bass and electric guitar are replaced with a rawer-sounding acoustic guitar (strummed to its core) and basic drums. Though this sounds amateur-ish, it’s part of the EP’s charm.

Cloak

Cloak by Cloak Inc is best described as the anti-social networking app. It seems like everyone is into social networking these days, but if there are people you want to avoid, like your ex, colleagues or other people, then this app is for you. Simply put, this app will help you avoid unpleasant company.

Manua Loa: Tales & The Sea

A trip to the lukewarm embrace of the sea isn’t complete with a good soundtrack, on which Manua Loa perfectly fits the role to a T. The band’s third and latest effort, Tales & The Sea, is your ideal jam-by-the-fireside ditty, and will no doubt garner new fans for this German band. The three-piece act composed of Jules Ahoi, Alaska WhiteSun, and Duncan Vert (we’re expecting some German-sounding names, though) have rendered the acoustic gods proud.

Red Bit Escape

Red Bit Escape is a puzzle game from RedBit Games with a deceptively simple premise, and that’s to escape all the blue squares around you and allow the Red Bit to survive the longest time possible. It sounds easy enough but the intricacies in the game make it more challenging.
