Apps for April 8, 2012
The Whip
Ever felt the urge to crack a whip… without actually cracking a whip? Then The Whip is the app for you. The Whip is a simple app that makes a whip cracking sound; you can either tap the screen or move your device in a whip cracking motion and The Whip will crack a whip for you. If you really enjoy cracking whips, you can try to top the “Leaderboard” scoreboards which shows how many times other people have cracked their whips.

Elements
Elements is a puzzle game for Android. In Elements the goal is to match elements with each other. Each level has two blocks of fire, wood, metal, water, and/or earth each with non-element blocks serving as obstacles. You have to move the element blocks by flicking up, down, left, or right and navigating around the obstacles until you have matched each element block with the other corresponding block. Once you have matched all the element blocks, the level has been completed and you can move on to the next level. Element has three game modes, “Challenge”, “Arcade”, and “Time Attack” with a total of 500 levels between these three modes.
