Out There tops Qi’s Android game chart for February with a dose of spacey magic. Developer Mi-Clos Studio’s game is a melancholic sci-fi adventure built on hundreds of life-or-death decisions. Close behind that is Pixel Dungeon, a fabulously stripped-back roguelike adventure game with random levels and permanent death. It’s not for the faint of heart, that’s for sure. At #7, however, Final Fantasy VI is perhaps the most hotly anticipated conversion in the series yet. There’s been a little consternation over its new 2D visuals, sure, but there’s no disguising the JRPG magic underneath. Following on from that is Helidroid 3, an enjoyably light-hearted flight simulator with some serious physics and flight systems. Take control of a range of toy helicopters – some of which are armed to the teeth.

Talon for Twitter was well received by ‘droid critics in February, taking the #2 spot on the Android Qi app chart for the month. Yes, it’s another Twitter client. But this one has a beautiful, clear design that’s been created with Android 4.4 (KitKat) in mind. At #4, meanwhile, we have MoWeather. This weather forecast app lets you share images of the weather conditions in your locality, injecting an extra dose of personalisation and accuracy into your daily report. Down in eight place, security software specialist AVG has a new app called AVG Privacy Fix. As the name suggests, this app enables you to manage your online privacy settings through your Android device. Just behind that is Note l!st, an especially stylish note-taking app. It provides a logical filing system, offline access to your notes, and full Google Drive integration.
