Apps
Downloaded
Mobile and desktop applications — games, music tools, security analytics, and a couple of things that resist categories entirely.
Brain Beats
Music
Maps properties of EEG-recorded brain waves onto properties of music, so the brain's electrical signals compose the piece. A composition platform for any experience level, with sharing and playback built in.
Threat Sketch
Security
Data, analytics, and tooling for cyber risk management. Its risk reduction database generates a risk-optimized cybersecurity plan from an organization's own risk profile.
John Cage Tribute
Music
Listen to past and live recordings as they happen, celebrating the life and teaching of John Milton Cage Jr. — whose work reached into mathematics, computing, and technology as much as music.
Remington Shooting Challenge
Action
Clays, deer, birds, and more. Published by Remington, with 3D-rendered deer moving through the woods and Remington firearms modelled in detail.
iChessKids
Chess
Voted best in its class. A chess engine that plays genuinely well, wrapped in something children actually want to open — built to make learning the game fun rather than dutiful.
Horseshoe
Casino
A free slots casino with 140+ machines, a new game every two weeks, large jackpots, and a VIP rewards program.
DPMS Omega

KWIKR
Commerce
Tooling that gives local merchants a way to compete with the large online retail giants, one day at a time.
Ballochet
Action
You are at the helm with a cannon and a target, and a lattice of beams and girders between the two. Fast, and harder to put down than it looks.
Your Political Action Kit
Civic
Built for two audiences at once: ordinary voters frustrated by the sense that there is nothing they can do but watch, and the organizations trying to reach them.
Retail
Boxed
Titles that sat on a shelf in a shop. Several were published by IntraCorp/Capstone, and the card games carry the Bicycle name.

Home Alone
Adventure
Play as Kevin McCallister, who overslept and was left behind when the family rushed out to catch their plane.
