Hatchi is a Tamagotchi-esque customisable virtual pet that needs looking after. Basically, if you don't want your little critter to meet an untimely death, you'll need to feed, clean, and play with it.

Thanks to a recent update, this app now features four mini-games that you play with your pet, as well as an in-game store in which you can trade coins for helpful boosts.

Deadlock: Online is an action-packed 3D twin-stick shooter that lets you battle it out with thousands of other players from around the world in daily and weekly tournaments.

There are over 30 different kinds of weapons, armours, and attachments to take into battle, including pistols, rifles, grenades, and scopes.

This title also features offline Survival and Bot modes.
