Race the Sun

As you probably already know, Angry Birds 2 landed on the Apple App Store this week. The game has already manged to nab 5 million downloads, according to Rovio Entertainment. I can only assume that's counting downloads across all platforms such as Google Play and the App Store, but it is still an impressive feat for a mobile game.

There were a lot of games released this week so let's jump right in. Apple Music users with a jailbroken device will want to check out the jailbreak section at the bottom of this post for a helpful Apple Music tweak.

Here are this week's most noteworthy games, apps and jailbreak tweaks released to the App Store and Cydia through 07/26/15 to 08/01/15. Worms 3 is Apple's free app of the week. The game will be free on the Apple App Store until 08/06/15. Don't forget to follow us on Twitter and Facebook to keep updated on all the latest iPhone and iPad news.

OPERATION DRACULA: $5.99 for the iPod touch, iPhone and iPad (Requires iOS 7.0 or later) Rated 12+

Operation Dracula
Operation Dracula is an old school scrolling shooter with an odd name, over-the-top retro 16-bit graphics and lots of bullets. The game has been receiving rave reviews from both critics and players. It features 3 playable characters, big dookie bosses, wailing Japanese guitar solos, and bullets. The game is described as a bullet hell shooter that promises to "scramble your brain and your fingers". Make sure you check out the trailer at the bottom of this post.

Gallery Doctor

This photo app claims to automatically identify unwanted blurry, dark and duplicate photos on your device and delete them. Not a bad idea now that the Photos app has an automatic "Recently Deleted" folder. The app also allows you to approve what photos are deleted and promises to get "smarter" with time.

All apps are very nice and wonderful to use. But Operation Dracula and Circle race is best among all of it. I hope so they given application are indeed wonderful to use...

I was curious if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your blog?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it
better. Youve got an awfful lot of text for only having 1 or two images.
Maybe you could space it out better?
