Orbsorb by Montgomery Guilhaus (Free, 21.1 MB): Put your reflexes to the test in this simple but challenging action-arcade game. In the doodle-style space, you're in charge of the Orbsorber, the neon marker swirl-type object in the middle of the screen with a smaller orb circling it. If you couldn't tell by the name, the Orbsorber draws in orbs, plus gradually changes hue. So, here's what you must do. Place a thumb anywhere on the screen and swirl it to control the orb orbiting the Orbsorber, blocking every incoming orb except those which match the Orbsorber's current color. As the identical orbs get absorbed, the Orbsorber grows thicker and is chopped away when non-alike orbs collide until it's whittled away. The game features bold and minimal 2-D graphics, atmospheric and techno soundtrack, single finger control, as well as a Game Center leaderboard and achievements.

Tree Wars by Funday Factory ($0.99, 62.5 MB): In this peculiarly delightful real-time strategy tower defense game, you're asked to join the fight for justice against the beavers. The Tree of Life has happily been the squirrels home for ages, but now the bucktoothed creatures want to take it away to build one of their water fortresses. Well, that's not going to happen on your watch, right? Utilizing the minimal resources send out the furry tailed soldiers in a clash to the death, cutting down the beaver army to protect your own home while working the way to destroy theirs, calling upon special spells to heal the cuddly critters, send fireballs from the sky towards the enemy, and more. It's going to be brutally epic and adorable. The game features hand-drawn graphics, quirky character chatter, dramatic military-style instrumental soundtrack, 10 stages with three levels of difficulty each, two unit types, four spells, multiple upgrade options, plus Game Center achievements.

TripTrap by Duello Iletisim Hizmetleri A.S. ($0.99, 55.7 MB): This adorable platform-puzzler is going to set you up with a snack snatching good time. There it was, the magnificent mound of cheese that would satisfy the mouse's delectable desires. Unfortunately, nabbing the goods doesn't appear to be easy as morsels may reside in protective glass dishes, guarded by ferocious felines, and otherwise placed at problematic positions. However, with your help, the hungry rodent can scamper across and even around, i.e., underneath, the shelves and similar surfaces in a jumping, smashing, grabbing, popping, and backtracking set of acrobatic execution to a vanishing victory. The game features cartoony 2-D and 2.5-D graphics, upbeat and charming instrumental soundtrack, 80 increasingly difficult stages spanning four rooms, plus Game Center leaderboards and achievements.
In Fear I Trust by Chillingo Ltd ($2.99, 930.8 MB): Prepare to face a frightening cloud of paranoia as you attempt to solve the mystery in this psychological thriller movie-style role-playing game. As a man that just wants something better for his family, you decide to participate in a risky venture. Regrettably, once enrolled, the horrific truth hidden from you has just begun to show through the shadows. Now imprisoned in what appears to be an eerie facility, survival will teeter upon your capabilities to recognize and analyze clues, work out problems, and keep the anxiety in check to uncover the real experiment and, obviously, escape. The game features Unreal Engine-powered 3-D graphics, subtle and ominous soundtrack, auto-progress saving and journaling, three independently toggled mechanisms for the dual-joystick and fluent gesture controls, Game Center achievements, as well as the hint-type Retrospective mode, allowing better view of the environment through character memory retrieval.
