Build the biggest, most blisteringly powerful battleship fleet imaginable, then fight back against the tyrannical Blackwater navy in this hard-hitting action-RPG from the makers of Bloons TD 5.

CRAFT YOUR SHIP
Choose one of 3 ship classes, fill multiple gun slots with powerful weapons, and add Modules to get new abilities. Take your custom ship build into one of 15 missions, and unleash pure havoc as you target your weapons, ram enemies to bits, and trigger ocean boiling special abilities. Earn resources and precious Blueprints with each victory, upgrade your ship, and build a fleet of up to 15 ships to wrest command of the seas away from your relentless enemy.

FAST AND FURIOUS
Forget about slow ship simulations you’ve seen before – this is smooth, one-touch driving with the ability to dodge incoming fire, auto-target enemies, and line up nitro boosts for awesome ram combos.

CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES
Blackwater isn’t going down without a fight – you’ll face dozens of vicious enemies who can form a variety of deadly attack groups. Navigate past enemy turrets and fortifications to crush enemy-spawning factories. Then face off against huge armored boss ships that use every ounce of their firepower and their signature special attacks to send you to a watery grave.

BUILD YOUR FLEET
15 different ship types, 16 Bridges, 100+ weapons, and 75+ modules allow you to craft an incredible array of powerful ships. Use Fleet Squadron to call in two of your other ships to tackle tough objectives, or send other ships off on timed missions to come back with critical resources to help you grow even stronger.

YOUR MISSION, IN A GRIM NEW WORLD
In 2063, vast ice shelves in western Antarctica broke free, crushing coastal cities beneath cataclysmic waves, overwhelming nuclear failsafes, and plunging the world into disease, mutation, economic collapse, and regional conflict. Governments crumbled, and in 2065, Aiden Black, head of the world’s largest naval military contractor, Blackwater Enterprises, unleashed his stockpiled fleets and seized control of the seas.

You are a captain in the New Coastal Alliance, a coalition of surviving national and private fleets held together by the need to confront Blackwater. You must arm your ship, collect valuable Blueprints to build your strength, and assemble a fleet of warships mighty enough to challenge Blackwater and allow our world to rebuild.

Download and play now, Captain – your fleet awaits!

Meter Robot

Normally $0.99.

Meter Robot is like is a SpeedTest app, but it does more. It measures your data speed in real situation.

SpeedTest app uses a fake data file.

To understand this, let’s understand how a SpeedTest app works.

A speedtest uses a fake data file to send to an Internet service provider. It sends the file to measure the download or upload speed. But when it does this, the internet service provider cranks up the upload or download speed for your iPhone.

Does your Internet service provider crank up the internet speed, when you are downloading a game or streaming music or video?

Honestly, you wouldn’t know, because SpeedTest doesn’t measure the download or upload speed in real situation.

SpeedTest app measures the internet speed when your internet service provider is using a fake file and is doing its best.

Meter Robot does not use a fake data file.

Instead, it measures your download speed, when you are using the internet.

For example, Meter Robot measures your download speed when you are downloading a movie, a song, a game or an app.

If you have a LTE connection, you can really see how well it does in real situation.

If you have a Wi-FI AC connection, you can measure its upload or download speed performance too.

It also counts how much LTE, 4G or 3G cellular data you used.

Note: No account to sign up. No Google, Facebook, Twitter or Linked account password to provide.

Travel Clock Pro

Normally $0.99.

What makes this different from the rest? Travel Clock Pro is more than an alarm clock.

I travel quite a bit to different locations and found that there are times when you just start your day not very “grounded” so to speak. Where am I? Whats going on in the world? Whats the weather like this morning? So we created Travel Clock Pro.

Trail Clock Pro is NOT a background alarm app. It is designed to be running while plugged in. What it IS NOT is a replica of those annoying bedside alarm clocks that you can never figure out and are left wondering if you even have to the time set right, is the alarm even on, did you get AM or PM right , or if it does go off you won’t get blasted out of bed with whatever music the hotel maid was listening to!

So what does it do? It is designed to be easy to use. Get up everyday at the same time? Sure. Once you set your alarm, just launch the app and its ready to go. If not, quickly set the alarm time with one button push.

Easy to read display showing you everything without looking like a searchlight next to your bed. Date, day, time, timezone you are in. Time at home. Your alarm time. On, Off, snoozing? How much time is left until it goes off? All there in one glance. Too bright still? Simply slide your finger up and down the face to change that.

The alarm goes off with everything you need to start your day. Weather for your location. News from your favorite RSS source that you can browse through and read. Do nothing and it will reset to snooze if you have it set on. (have you tried “inspiration” yet?)

Hate it when the outlet you are plugged into to charge your phone goes out when you turn off the light in your hotel room? Phone dead in the morning? Yeah we hate that too and monitor for it. One of the many things this app does.

You can easily set what you want to wake up to from the built in alarms, have it talk to you (try the “inspiration” setting!), or if you upgrade to pro, your iTunes library.

Also with the pro upgrade pick your color, font, display options, and favorite news feed.
