TegTap is a two-man app development studio based in Arizona with a surprisingly diverse catalog of games. The studio has published a variety of kids’ apps for Android, including Dragon Maker, My Fairy Pony, and Dino Digger. On the other end of the spectrum, TegTap’s marquee title Solar Warfare is a full-fledged sci-fi shooter aimed at the more serious gaming crowd. With smooth 3D graphics, gigantic bosses, and intuitive controls, Solar Warfare made a strong impression during the Big Indie Pitch competition at Apps World.

Solar Warfare If you enjoy shoot-em-ups, you’ll feel right at home with this 3D sci-fi shooter. The controls for your ship are fluid and easy to grasp. Tilt the device in any direction to aim, and then hold anywhere on the right side of the screen to fire rapid shots. A button at the bottom-right corner fires powerful homing missiles that must be purchased from the shop. The ship automatically flies forward by default. You can also speed it up by holding the thruster button at the bottom-left corner of the screen, hopefully zooming past incoming fire, and even stop the ship’s forward momentum by pressing and holding anywhere else on the left side of the screen. The ability to stop in place provides a greater degree of control than you’d usually get in games like this, and makes aiming easier too. After scouring a planet’s surface of enemies, players will complete a level and receive ratings for their performance. You can also visit the shop then and spend the currency collected during the level. The shop sells weapon and shield upgrades, plus missiles and extra lives that will make it easier to complete future missions. Solar Warfare also supports MOGA controllers for extra precise controls.

Open a chest and you’ll either receive a new customization part or carrots to feed to the ponies. My Fairy Pony is a fun, simple game that pony fans will adore. $1.99 – Download Now Dragon Maker

If ponies aren’t your kid’s thing, perhaps he or she will enjoy this dragon-themed game instead. It works exactly like My Fairy Pony, except with dragons instead of ponies. Players can change the colors of each part of the dragon, creating some bold and unique combinations. You can even change the color of the fire they breathe. Like TegTap’s pony game, kids will spend their time looking for chests when not interacting with their dragons. There are always three chests spread around the environment, with a new one appearing whenever another gets emptied. The chests in this game contain either dragon parts or marshmallows, a young dragon’s favorite treat. $1.99 – Download Now Dino Digger
