Never Alone: Ki Edition
[Price: $4.99]
Never Alone: Ki Edition is actually a port of a game that was released on the NVIDIA Shield Console earlier this year. This touch-screen enabled version is much like the original, where you play as a young girl and her pet fox in order to outsmart enemies, solve puzzles, and move through levels. It bills itself as an atmospheric puzzle platformer which is about as accurate of a description as you can get. It has decent graphics, fun mechanics, and a touching storyline. It also has no in-app purchases.

Skater
[Price: $4.99]

It features character customization, tons of places to skate, and fairly simple controls. This one is still wrestling with some early bugs, but it’s not bad overall.

VOEZ
[Price: Free with in-app purchases]
VOEZ is a rhythm game and one of only a few rhythm games that are actually any good. In this one, you’ll play a variety of songs where you must tap, swipe, and hold at the appropriate times get combos and rack up points. It has a perfunctory storyline about a girl and her friends who want to create a band. The game play is simple to learn and the graphics, while simple, are utterly gorgeous. The mixture of the two creates an immersive gaming experience that’s actually rather enjoyable. The in-app purchases allow you to purchase DLC, which is one of the few in-app purchases that don’t suck.
