RocketBird lives up to its name by having the player control a bird with a rocket strapped to its back. Players catch stars to keep the rocket’s fuel tank filled while avoiding mills, cows, farms, trees, fences, and other obstacles. Three difficulty levels are included.

Flying also factors in Ground Effect, a 3D arcade racer in which players’ vehicles fly at top speeds on a cushion of air. Ten vehicles are available, along with 14 levels, a replay mode, a ghost race against the player’s fastest time, and more.

In Checkers! ($1.99), players can choose from four rule sets, three languages, and various graphical options. The interface is also customizable.
