Zinkle ($0.99 → Free, 16.0 MB): An elemental puzzle game that has you trying to create chain reactions. It’s for puzzle game fans that are in need of a real challenge.

Zinkle starts out simple, but ramps up in difficulty rather quickly. The idea is to clear all of the blocks by canceling them out. For example, fire destroys ice and wind destroys earth. Just swipe to slide them in to each other and cancel them out. Try to create big chains to score more points. An undo option is available in case you make a mistake.

Zinkle is available for free today only (09/28). It has a 5-star rating with a total of 5 ratings.

Universal:

We really like Eye to Eye because it’s appealing to the eye. Seriously, the slick animations and crisp black and white graphics will keep you hooked. All you have to do is tap the eye in the middle of the screen to get things started. You’ll then a see a very small, thin image of a famous person’s eyes surrounded by possible options. Tap on the correct one to move on to the next. That’s it! Just enjoy and try to complete all of the levels.

Eye to Eye – Celebrity quiz game! Guess the most famous iconic people and popular celebrities! is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 193 ratings.

Robots Love Ice Cream™ ($2.99 → Free, 91.0 MB): This arcade blast is pretty sweet. Hop into your ice cream truck and unleash your weaponized dessert upon your unsuspecting foes. It’s ideal for casual gamers that have a bit of a sweet tooth.

The premise of the game is absolutely ridiculous, which is what makes it so awesome. Your single objective is to keep Spinston and his robot buddies from stealing your precious ice cream. To do so, you must utilize various treats to blast them out of the sky Space Invaders-style. Collect the magical Sprinkletonium that drifts down from your fallen foes and use it to upgrade your truck and your weapons. Completing objectives will earn you additional Sprinkletonium.

Robots Love Ice Cream™ is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 229 ratings.
