We recently caught the update for stand alone streaming service from HBO, the HBO NOW, gaining Chromecast support today. That single app gaining support probably made a lot of cord cutting Chromecast owners pretty happy. Looks as though the new additions to the ever-growing list of apps that now support the HDMI dongle has grown even more than that. The Google Chrome Blog announced a number of new apps today, along with HBO NOW, that all now have Chromecast support. There a number of new multiplayer games, photo editing tools and content streaming services available.
On the list we find FitFlap, which I saw at Google I/O back in May. The game uses your Android devices front facing camera to track your movements while you flap your arms like a bird to control your character, which ranges from pigs to turtles and other fun creatures, on your big screen TV.
Another new game to the world of Chromecast is Catch Phrase Blitz. It brings everything you already knew and loved about Catch Phrase and delivers it to your living room, or bedroom, TV.
Need something a bit less taxing on the brain or the body? Tricky Titans is also out now and is a multiplayer turn based strategy game. “Deceive your friends, defend your village, fling mountains at whoever you please, and smash your way to victory in this casual yet chaotic couch game.” It looks pretty cool too.
Finally, Pixlr makes the leap to allow you to edit your photos wirelessly from your device through your Chromecast. I am sure this will be a great addition for avid photographers, especially those with device like the LG G4 and Galaxy S6 that sport some of the best cameras on the cellphone market to date.
