The most interesting and useful news on Google Play this month.

Applications

1. EKA2L1

Symbian operating system emulator. Remember the legendary Nokia N-Gage gaming phone? EKA2L1 can run games and applications for it, as well as for some other devices. If you want to shake up the old days or get acquainted with the classic titles of the era that have passed you by, try this program.

2. Sketch 360

A very curious application from Microsoft that allows you to create sketches in three-dimensional space. It can come in handy if you are an architect or interior designer. Well, or just started a renovation and want to sketch out how the furniture will be arranged in the room.

3. Cultivate

This is a program for developing good habits. Enter information about what you want to achieve: warm up every few hours, walk once a day, run at least once a week. And the app will create a small potted plant for each item.

When you are engaged in the appropriate activity, click on the flower - it will be "watered" and happy. And if you forget about your goals, the plants will wither and look at you with silent reproach. A kind of motivation mechanism in the spirit of Tamagotchi.

4. Time Rise

An interesting application is a timer that works like an hourglass. Set the time and it will gradually start to run out. As soon as the minutes and seconds you specified are over, turn the phone over, and the time period will start counting again. But this time - in the opposite direction.

5. Weather Live Wallpaper

Quite funny live wallpapers that add a variety of weather effects to the background of your home screen, based on the forecast. Snow, rain, dew, fog, ice and other atmospheric phenomena will appear on the smartphone display.

6. Until

Until is a really useful program for those who constantly forget about deadlines. It allows you to create events, set a date for them, and watch the lead time gradually expire.

If necessary, especially important events can be fixed so that they are always in front of your eyes. There is also an advanced mode to simultaneously see all of your deadline cases and choose which one to tackle first.

Games

7. PAKO Rumble

A project with nice graphics, where you will drive your car through a beautiful cartoon world with a procedurally generated map. It could be a pretty lazy and meditative game, but there are two snags. First of all, the world is floating in the clouds and falling off of it is as easy as shelling pears. And secondly, your car has failed brakes. Have a nice trip.

8. Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus

Great news for fans of the Warhammer 40,000 universe: Mechanicus has received an Android port. You have to take control of a detachment of Machine Spirit adepts who arrived on the planet Silva Tenebris in the hope of finding lost technologies there.

The problem is that the technology is there - and it belongs to the Necrons. Dead mechanisms wake up after a thousand years of sleep to meet intruders. Rest them forever, in the name of the Emperor.

9. Biphase

Nice platformer game in which you have to solve puzzles by jumping on bricks and sticks in orange and gray colors. The difficulty is that with each touch of an element of the environment, the colors in the world are inverted and the objects change their properties to the exact opposite.

Solid ground turns into an abyss, swings are turned upside down, mechanisms begin to spin backwards. So, before you do something, you have to think carefully about how it will affect the world around you.

10. Colossus Mission

A game about flying to the moon. You are in control of the lunar lander and you need to board a satellite of our planet. Only the Mission Control Center decided that it was too boring to land on the surface and sent you to sublunary caves and lava tubes. And you need to get to your destination without hitting walls. Good luck.
