We’re not surprised that Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft has topped April’s iPad Qi gaming chart. It’s the current multi-platform king of freemium deck-building games, with a streamlined interface and thrilling tactical potential. Still, Blizzard had some stiff opposition from another PC conversion, FTL, which sits at #4. Subset Games’s epic space adventure has you taking control of your own spaceship, managing its systems and crew and gathering precious resources. Indeed, Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft also faced competition from another top-notch deck builder in April in the shape of Yomi. This one combines card collecting and the basic principles of the one-on-one beat-’em-up… to unexpectedly brilliant effect. Finally, we have Leo’s Fortune, a graphically lush platform-adventure that feels every inch the accomplished console creation, though it’s been developed exclusively for mobile.

GrooveMaker 2 tops the April iPad Qi chart for apps, and this beat-making app is arguably more at home on the larger iOS format. But let’s move on to Pen & Ink at #4, which offers a beautiful approximation of a watercolour notebook. Learn its intricacies and you’ll be turning out gorgeous painting-like artwork before you know it. Keeping the peaceful vibe down in ninth spot, Windy marries natural wind recordings (really) with beautiful artwork to help you relax. Apparently, it uses psychoacoustic 3D techniques to send you into a state of Zen-like bliss. Bringing up the rear this month is Union, a powerful image-blending tool that enables you to create evocative and – at times – surreal pictures by splicing together your photos in new and artistic ways.
