Today’s apps gone free: The Cursed Ship, Castaway, ZooKazam and more
iPhone:
The Ondine, the biggest and most luxurious cruise ship ever created, has been lost at sea during its maiden voyage. As part of the Trident Corporation, it’s up to you to locate the ship and recover what remains. During your own voyage, however, you lose all forms of communication and somehow wind up in two parallel worlds via a mysterious mirror. Search every deck of the massive ship for clues and solve puzzles to escape this nightmare.
The Cursed Ship, Collector’s Edition (Full) is available for free today only (11/24). It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 19 ratings.
Castaway is for the eclectic podcast listener. It doesn’t make you commit to an entire podcast series, allowing you to listen to any one in the directory without subscribing. Of course, you can subscribe to your favorites, and either listen immediately by streaming them or download them for later listening. Podcasts refresh in the background and can be downloaded automatically, ensuring you’ll always have the latest and greatest content.

You must first print out one of the targets from the ZooKazam website, which can be accessed from the app itself. Then place it in your environment and tap on an animal to select it. When you point your iDevice’s camera at the printed target, an animal will come to life in 3-D. The app includes more than 40 creatures to choose from with detailed descriptions and fun facts for each one.
ZooKazam is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 56 ratings.
Take a good look at the board while it is lit up, because the lights will go out! You must then match elements to create electrical currents that will briefly illuminate the board, disintegrate the elements, and turn them into gold. While the board is briefly illuminated from creating a match, you will have another chance at seeing where elements are located and how they’re aligned. If you wind up not getting a good enough look, you can use a hint. The game includes three modes, loads of ways to upgrade your gold producing machine, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.
