Today's Best Apps: Flipagon, Math Jam, Paint Ponies And More

January 1, 2013
The App Store takes delivery of hundreds of new apps per day. The overwhelming scene makes it possible to easily overlook an exciting game, valuable productivity suite, etc. However, we have a solution. Today’s Best Apps tackles this problem by providing you with a handpicked and tested list of apps that are truly worth your consideration each and everyday.

iPhone:

BrainTouch by Jae Seok Oh (Free, 2.9 MB): Keep your mind exercised with a simple memory game workout. In each level, the orange blocks will appear in random places, then be covered by a filled grid of black blocks. Your objective is to uncover the yellow blocks by tapping on the locations. There are in-game statistics and Game Center integration.

War Planes Multiplayer by Apps Capital Social Funding, s.l. ($0.99, 11.7 MB): Primarily designed for multiplayer tabletop action, this flight shooter is fun for the entire family. Gather up to three opponents and dogfight each other for the win. Each player has their own controls and damage indicator that are color coded to the aircraft. Solo gameplay includes up four difficulty levels to select from.

Math Jam by LeVous, LLC (Free, 3.0 MB): This is a wonderful tool for any child that needs more practice in math. In a simple quiz manner, multiple choice math problems will appear one after another to be answered as quickly as possible. While the default is all, equation parameters can be restricted, if necessary, to focus on a particular area. In addition, parents and kids can view a performance graph showing successful completions per minute.

Universal:

Space Bricks Breaker by ElvisGames ($0.99, 20.9 MB): If you're in the mood for casual gaming, then it's time to pull out a retro-style brick-breaking game. Featuring a mixture of pixelated and non-pixelated 8-bit graphics, this old school arcade game has more than 70 levels, power-ups, and a great nostalgic feeling.

Paint Ponies by American Girl (Free, 47.7 MB): Your pony loving little girl will have lots of fun in this two-in-one app. Round up ponies in the action game using finger painted lassos to unlock pony pictures to color later on. The app includes 30 levels, five pictures to paint with stickers and export options, vibrant graphics, great accompanying music, and easy controls.

Plumbing Mayhem by St.Martin's Institute of IT (Free, 32.5 MB): This action-puzzler will most certainly keep your brain cells igniting. As pipe pieces float down from the top of the screen, connect them to create a seamless water path. Be efficient and careful! Pipes must be quickly moved and possibly rotated into place because every section that slips by is a lost life.

Flipagon by Retna Entertainment Corp. ($1.99, 39.0 MB): In this digital game of flexagons, origami-like puzzles, you'll push the limits of your memory and recognition skills to reassemble images. As you begin to flip and spin images, it will be clear how difficult the concept really is. Score is based on time, which is also affected by the number of moves you make. Therefore, the least amount of moves and the quickest completion is best. The game features three stages, 18 total levels, and Game Center integration.

iPad:
