Calendr (iPhone, iPad) $1.99

Calendr, a calendar app, has an interface that doesn?t include much in the way of frills, opting for a streamlined look instead. Where it excels is the many ways it can sync with other apps and services, including Exchange, iCloud, Google and others. It?s optimized for use with one hand, and allows you to quickly search through your events and appointments with ease.

Another handy function Calendr affords users is the ability to share your events with others, as well as to quickly edit or delete them as needed. The app also can give you hints and reminders about your upcoming appointments to keep you up to speed on what you?ve got going on.

An old-style text-based role-playing game, ZDAY Survival Simulator throws you in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. As the epidemic spreads, you?re given choices of how to approach each situation that comes up. Do you search an abandoned house for supplies and risk a zombie attack or do you keep moving? Flag down a suspicious military helicopter or hide until it passes? Your choices determine how well you?ll survive and how far you?ll make it when the inevitable happens.

Throughout ZDAY, you?ll find weapons, encounter people you can add to your group, and fight numerous zombies, all of which help determine whether you?ll make it and all of which are affected by your choices. When you?re done with the game, you can share your results on Facebook or Twitter to see how your stats stack up against your friends?.

Pixel Land (iPhone, iPad) $0.99

Those familiar with Super Mario Bros. will recognize the level design inside Pixel Land ? it?s a shot-for-shot recreation of the classic platforming title from Nintendo. The difference between Mario and Pixel Land, however, is that Pixel Land uses only 64 pixels to form the picture on the screen of your iPhone or iPad. That means, on an 8x8 grid, you?re not controlling Mario, you?re controlling a simple square. So while the game is similar to other platformers, its low-resolution presentation makes it quite a bit harder.

Everything you do in Pixel Land earns you points, from smashing enemies to crunching bricks, so you?ll want to play it a lot like Super Mario. It?s not for everyone ? having basically no graphical fidelity really does make it difficult to know what?s happening, and the game requires some precise actions with its touch controls. But for those who like their games tough and weird, Pixel Land isn?t a bad bet, especially for just a buck.
