Only One by Ernest Szoka (Free, 12.3 MB): Show the world that all you need is yourself in this arena-type hack-and-slash lone warrior role-playing game. While standing atop a sacrificial pillar, you discover a magical sword. Disastrously, upon removing the powerful weapon from the sacred spot, various warriors and malevolent creatures spawn. At first, some may appear afraid, however, their intent and capability to do harm will become clear soon enough. Thankfully, you have several combat options available, which increase with experience. For example, quick strikes against archers prevents blindside attacks when occupied by other enemies and aggressive attacks against shielded opponents can force them over the edge. Regrettably though, such an approach typically means losing out on the health replenishing hearts and shopping essential coin rewards dispersed from the body after a kill. Even so, there'll be plenty more opportunities, assuming you can survive for a commendable length of time. The game features pixelated retro 2.5-D graphics, rock-style chiptunes, 15 collectable power-ups, 70 levels of difficulty, dual-thumb controls, and a Game Center leaderboard.
Think by June (Free, 20.3 MB): This hieroglyphics-based trivia-style puzzler will entertainingly exercise your brain from a different psychological seat. Put simply, the idea is to communicate through a grouping, or story, of very basic imaginary, like the cavemen. Indeed, such representation still exists, for example, restroom signs, weather reports, computer software user interfaces, etc. However, the general question would be, can you translate any word, title, object, person, phrase, and so on depicted solely via a simple pictorial scene? Well, now's the time to prove it. The game features 2-D graphics, energy-filled instrumental soundtrack, 360 puzzles spanning 30 themed chapters, plus a dual-source assistance system, which includes an author offered clue or allows asking for help from friends through Facebook, Twitter, email, or other social networks. Disabling pop-up ads and adding 10 bonus in-app hints costs $4.99 whereas just a pack of three hints sells for $1.99.
