Blocks are constantly falling from the sky, so to survive you'll need to not only dodge them but strategically make your way up. You can also blast blocks with your laser gun, but it takes a few shots to destroy them.

Universal:

Army of Frogs HD ($2.99 -> Free, 25.1 MB): This turn-based strategy game requires you to arrange frogs of different colors in order to be the first player to have at least seven of your own connected. During the game you take turns with your opponents placing frogs that are randomly chosen from the pool, which means that sometimes you'll be placing your own frogs and sometimes you'll be placing your opponent's frogs. You can strategically place frogs so that even if it isn't your own, you can block your opponent from leaping theirs into place. The game includes an in-depth tutorial, the ability to play with two to four players (human or AI), and Game Center integration.

Army of Frogs HD is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4-star rating with a total of 23 ratings.

HypnoBlocks ($1.99 -> Free, 8.5 MB): A fast-paced 3D matching game that requires you to clear the board of blocks before time expires. Matching blocks is as simple as tapping on like-colored ones. But the blocks are obscured by walls in different ways, so you'll have to rotate the whole lot of them by touching and dragging on the screen to discover their color. If you try to select blocks that aren't matching, your entire group will be deselected, wasting valuable time. The game includes three modes, three difficulty levels, and Game Center integration.

HypnoBlocks is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 38 ratings.

iPad:

Assassin's Creed Recollection ($0.99 -> Free, 339.4 MB): A collectible card game that's based on Ubisoft's best-selling franchise, Assassin's Creed. Your objective in the game is to capture regions all over the city by sending your agents out to campaign for you. If they finish a campaign unopposed, you'll gain points. Earn 10 points to take full control of a region. The game includes 280 cards to discover, 8 to 10 hours of narrative, 20 story mode missions, multiplayer, and Game Center.

Assassin's Creed Recollection is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4-star rating with a total of 467 ratings.
