Pocket Freak is a creepy Freak Show with billions of combinations to create strange characters. Simply swipe hair, head, eyes, mouth, ears, nose and body to change the character. With a shake they giggle and talk after your recordings. What makes this app special from other “Gag” apps is the great crafted parts to play with and the big amount of freaky results.

my favorite dutch designer wim crouwel now has a clock app! commissioned by the Design Museum in London, UK its a super scaled back basic clock w/ his typography as numerators. also has a kitschy alarm setting where hes recorded his voice w/ design phrases of the day. could do with some more type options and sounds.

A selection of colorful and humorous wallpapers from Juan Molinet who created some fake vintage Japanese advertising characters for iPhone and iPad.

simple pixel based clock screen saver which uses a 1 pixel = 1 second metaphor. 360 pixels are painted every hour to fill one square. has black w/ white background, and white w/ black background as well as landscape and portrait modes. another fab clock app from japan!

dutch graphic design memory game which uses pictograms designed by Gerd Arntz for public spaces. the app and graphics were meticulously crafted by ontwerpwerk in the hague, netherlands. the app contains a selection of 250 from the more than 4,000 pictograms Gerd Arntz drew between 1928 and 1965. check out the Switzerland memory card game reviewed as well.

a minimal particle physics puzzle game whereby you attract or repel small orbs into goals. super clean, challenging and ethereal. i like the way they have described the mechanics of making the game on their site. also, if you fancy playing before you buy, there is a flash version online as well…

nav your music collection using planets as a metaphor. amazing graphic representation of artists, albums, tracks, etc. fly through your collection like the voyager probe did our solar system. wish they would have had a hide controls feature to make the entire experience a screen saver (am i missing something @neb?). regardless, its a stellar app and no pun intended!

anything that deals with barcodes and music is brilliant in my book. super interactive scan and jam from the hip!

this app invites you to do random and quirky things to strangers you meet via the app.it was inspired by the UK magazine Benrik and billed as the first Marxist mobile app. i like the way in which you interact with the random acts and how it alerts you when your near someone else to bestow them upon. some of them are pretty risky. i guess that part of the fun?
