There's a slight chance that our choice in app may have been swayed by our great desire to post a 'falling baby panda gif' – but only slightly.
When posed the question, 'Do you want to save baby pandas?' there is only one possible answer – YES! Panda Pop is just about the most adorable game we've played since Disco Bees stole our hearts a few months back.
Don't be fooled – Panda Pop isn't just another cutesy strategy game. With over 90 levels that become progressively harder, we've found ourselves stuck in tricky situations that only serve to keep us coming back for more.
Go ahead, we know you want to go save those baby pandas now...
We couldn't hold out on talking about this app any longer; it had to be first. JibJab has done it again with this absolutely RIDICULOUS app that happens to be simultaneously brilliant.
Is it the combination of Christmas & twerking a brief fad? Yes. Is it slightly vulgar? Yes. Do we care? No.
In the spirit of the holiday season, gloriously chilly weather, and mittens, stay tuned for 12 days of ridiculously AWESOME app features – starting TODAY!
Okay, so it's that time of year again when too much of a good thing is never enough. To get your holiday season started off on the right foot, I wanted to toss out a couple of apps that are absolutely and unashamedly over the top. Let's do this.
Plumber Crack by Fluik
If the app name doesn't say it all, the text on the main screenshot in the App Store certainly does: "Throw stuff in his butt!" And while we all know just how much the mayor of Toronto loves crack, this is your chance to get in on the action! Tossing ice cubes is just the beginning - unlock loads of other fun items to throw at people's butts. Oh, and you can dress them up in wacky outfits while you're at it.
Anchorman 2: Scotchy Scotch Toss by Paramount Digital Entertainment
Since we all love Anchorman and we've become quite fond of tossing ice, why not get a tasty beverage in the mix? Flick ice cubes into a glass to cool down that sweet, sweet scotch in Anchorman 2: Scotchy Scotch Toss. The clever one-liners by Ron Burgundy make this game totally worth it and completely shag-tastic. That is a word, right?
