Want to find out which apps have graced our iPhones, iPads and Macs this past week
0:05
Well, you're in the right place. From a search engine that will search everything to grace your Apple device, to some awesomely
0:11
fun retro-inspired games, we've got it all. So let's get started
0:21
Few apps remind you about the fickle nature of Silicon Valley more than Vine, the previously
0:25
popular video loop sharing app, which Twitter recently announced was going the way of the Dodo
0:29
However, not wasting a second, Vine's creators are back with a new live streaming app called
0:34
Hype, which they hope will challenge the likes of Periscope and Facebook Live
0:37
The main hub that Hype has in its favour is the ability to up the fun quotient in live
0:41
broadcasts, courtesy of themed backgrounds, music, text, emojis and more. Sure, that sounds a whole lot like Snapchat meets Periscope, but if you're a fan of live
0:49
streaming, Hype may offer enough personalisation to make a standout from the rest of the live
0:53
streaming pack. The chances of any search engine overtaking Google is ridiculous, and has been ever since
1:00
the early 2000s. But that's not to say there aren't gaps in the search engine space, and that's exactly
1:06
what Atlus Recall wants to capitalise on. Currently available for free as an open beta, testing on Mac and iPhone, Atlus Recall is
1:12
a single search engine that lets you search everything you've ever looked at on a particular
1:16
device, including documents, webpages, texts, videos, emails, apps and anything else. A top-down retro racing game, Built for Speed offers a fun multiplayer that lets you race
1:27
against your friends or other players online. Is it groundbreaking? No. Does it offer exactly the kind of fun racing experience you'd hope for? Absolutely
1:36
For me personally, the most exciting aspect is the ability to construct tracks of your
1:39
own, courtesy of a 10x10 grid and plenty of selectable pieces. It's definitely good for a laugh
1:46
Now stop me if you've heard this one before. One Bit Rogue is a retro-inspired... okay, sure, 2016 has virtually seen more 1980s-esque
1:54
games than the whole of the 80s decade combined. But who can be annoyed when there's so much quality in there
1:59
One Bit Rogue is a monochrome dungeon crawler RPG that lets you choose from one of five
2:03
different classes of characters, then journey through a multi-floor randomised dungeon, slaying enemies and collecting artefacts as you go
2:10
It's a game the Game Boy was desperately missing circa 1989, and one that you'll undoubtedly
2:15
enjoy if the idea of a simple roguelike appeals. And why wouldn't it
2:20
