Today’s apps gone free: Harmony 3, Top Tank, Spell ’til You Drop and more
Universal:
Harmony 3 is a masterful extension of the original puzzle games by BorderLeap. It comes as close to puzzling perfection as you can get. The object of the game is to swap out blocks with a tap in order to get them to match the color palette. Blocks can only be swapped in vertical or horizontal rows. The number of moves each block can make is indicated by the black dots on top of them. You absolutely must use up all of the moves for each block to complete the puzzles. Matching only the colors isn’t good enough. Harmony 3 includes hundreds of challenging levels and some new holiday themes ones.

Hop into a heavily armored tank and take on foes both on the ground and in the air. Your tank will travel ahead on its own, rolling over whatever is in its way. When it’s time to lob a projectile, simply hold your finger on the fire button to adjust the angle of your shot and release to fire. The tank will stop momentarily while you take aim. Try to deal as much damage as possible to your enemies before they do the same to you to climb the leaderboards.

An intrepid explorer needs your child’s help crossing vast bridges. Your child must listen to the word being pronounced, and then correctly spell it as quickly as possible. Each correct word moves the explorer one step closer to the other side of the bridge. However, if too many incorrect words are submitted, the explorer will drop from the bridge. Power-ups can be earned along the way to help move across the bridge even faster. The game includes more than 600 words, three levels to conquer, and multiple difficulty settings.
