Games To Download For Free: Spite & Malice, Castle Conflict, And Monkey Flight
March 16, 2010
After what was a pretty lackluster last couple of days for free games, today we have three good ones for you to check out by developers Trivial Technology, Broken Kings, and Donut Games.
Spite & Malice ($.99 -> Free): A challenging card game where you must simply be the first person to play all of the cards from your payoff pile, which is a lot easier said than done. Each player has five cards in front of them at all times besides the payoff pile, which contains 20 cards, each only accessible one at a time. To play cards you must follow the sequence with no regards to suit. Kings can be used as wild cards. Keep placing cards as long as you can, and your turn ends when you throw a card into the discard pile.
The game features three game modes including local multiplayer via Bluetooth, three levels of difficulty, progressive stat tracking, and all kinds of gameplay customization options.
Spite & Malice is available for free today only (3/16/10).
Castle Conflict ($.99 -> Free): A real-time strategy/castle defense game that requires you to build up your army and take down your opponent before their forces are too strong. The game features fairly basic graphics, but the gameplay is deep enough to keep you coming back for more. You must balance your units by sending some out to collect trees (resources) while using others to defend and attack. Units move freely once unleashed and can be upgraded to be more effective.
The game features 33 unit types, 39 levels in campaign mode, quickplay for a casual experience, and local multiplayer over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
Castle Conflict is available for free today only (3/16/10).
Monkey Flight ($.99 -> Free): Another great casual and free game from Donut Games. Monkey Flight will have you slinging monkeys through the air order to collect as much fruit as possible. You control the launcher by tapping and holding until the time is right, and your monkey will bounce across the map collecting fruit. You can extend your air time with a single tap, which makes the monkey pass some gas and also helps you avoid obstacles such as rocks and mud puddles that will stop you in your tracks.
The game features an arcade high-score mode, 40 challenges, local and online leaderboards, and progressive stat tracking.
Monkey Flight will be available for free for a limited time.
