Poppy Birds can also be turned in order to occupy free space and create new patterns. Just keep in mind that each pop and turn will cost you a move, and there is a target number that you need to hit in order to achieve a perfect rating. The game includes more than 130 levels.

Universal:

Words With Monsters ($0.99 → Free, 31.9 MB): Battle big, goofy monsters by forming words in this unique word game. Fans of word games will enjoy this twist on the genre.

Words With Monsters utilizes the same tried and true word game formula found in Scrabble, but adds role-playing game elements to provide a wholly unique experience. When you create valid words from your letters and submit them, instead of adding to your total score, those points are actually used as hit points that are applied to your enemy’s health. You must try to create the best possible words and place them on letter multipliers to remove your opponent’s health before they do the same to you.

Words With Monsters is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 118 ratings.

Coyn ($4.99 → Free, 1.2 MB): Manage your money with Coyn. It’s for those who want a simple and efficient way to track income and expenses.

Coyn is all about efficiency. All that’s needed to add an expense or income to your account is a swipe. A downward swipe allows you to add income, and an upward swipe allows you to add an expense. You’re able to categorize each entry by selecting from one of the included icons. You’re also able to view your financial situation via a graph.

Coyn is available for free for a limited time. It has a 3.5-star rating with a total of 18 ratings.
