Isle of Arrows
Daniel Lutz launched last Thursday on Steam Isle of Arrows, a seemingly simple strategic game, very fun and rather well done, where you have to protect a magic crystal from waves of enemies by setting up towers, flags and taverns to decimate them. “I like the simple design, but which has depth,” he explains. I had challenged myself to work with a type of game that was well established in the world of video games, and to look at it from a new angle. »

TikTok dominates the app charts on iOS and Android with 373 million downloads.
Apple’s mobile devices may hold just 28% of the global market according to GlobalStats, compared to 72% for Android, but they are much more profitable for developers. According to an analysis by TradingPlatforms, the proportions are practically reversed when comparing revenues and market shares: in the first six months of 2022, users spent 43.7 billion US dollars in the Apple App Store, or 67% of the total of 65 billion US. Why this dominance? “The high-end nature of Apple’s devices and software means its customers are more likely to spend on apps,” said Edith Muthoni of TradingPlatforms. The most popular apps, of course, are free, TikTok dominating the charts with 373 million downloads.

The Huawei GT Runner has almost the exact same software interface as the GT 3 Pro, for $200 less.
After the Huawei Watch GT 3 Pro whose review we recently published, it’s the turn of its little sister, the GT Runner watch. Its great charm is that it has almost the exact same software interface as the GT 3 Pro, for $200 less. It can therefore take phone calls and display all the usual notifications and info – weather, number of steps and heart rate, in particular. Smaller and lighter, it can track hundreds of physical activities, but also suffers from the lack of third-party applications. For this discount, we forget the integrated thermometer, the gyroscope, and the titanium shell becomes plastic. At $398.99, a better deal than the GT 3 Pro, in our opinion.
