Crunch numbers, organize your ideas and tasks, and match elements to produce gold with today’s collection of apps and games.

All app prices are subject to change at any time and without notice regardless of stated free duration. Price changes are solely under the control of the developers.

iPhone:

Tower of Fortune ($0.99 → Free, 8.7 MB): A retro-style RPG with a nifty slot machine mechanic. It’s for fans of the RPG genre who also enjoy one-button gameplay.

Play as a retired hero who is forced to draw his sword once again when his daughter is taken by an unknown power. Spin the wheel to battle opponents, earn gold, and obtain special items. The game includes 39 different enemies, 37 types of equipment, 39 combat quests, 12 tavern quests, and three different endings.

Tower of Fortune is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 267 ratings.

Universal:

Aureus ($1.99 → Free, 50.7 MB): Match elements to produce gold in Aureus. It’s ideal for anyone who wants to work on their memorization skills.

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.

Aureus is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 45 ratings.

Calc 2M – Scientific Calculator ($4.99 → Free, 19.5 MB): Crunch numbers faster than ever before with Calc 2M. It’s ideal for students, teachers, and anyone else in need of a powerful calculator.

Calc 2M focuses on user experience. As you make calculations, they’ll be fed into the scrollable history at the top. You’re able to drag and drop previously typed calculations and results into the readout to quickly reuse them. A horizontally scrollable bar at the top of the keypad allows you to access advanced functions. Calculations can be edited, copied, and pasted at any time. The app also includes a widget and Apple Watch support.

Calc 2M – Scientific Calculator is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 25 ratings.

Skill Game ($2.99 → Free, 24.0 MB): Connect the numbers as quickly as possible to best your opponent in Skill Game. It’ll keep fans of the puzzle game genre on their toes.

The objective is to connect all of the numbers in ascending order without touching the lines you’ve already created. The process of doing so, however, requires a deft hand and a little strategy. Make sure to utilize the viewfinder in the top left corner of the screen, otherwise you won’t stand a chance. The game includes an unlimited number of randomly generated levels, adaptive difficulty levels, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.

Skill Game is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 2380 ratings.

Then place ideas and tasks, which can include priority levels, due dates, and as much text as you like, within the grid. Entries can be sorted, edited, marked as complete, copied and pasted, and shared. You’re also able to reorder your entries with a simple two-finger gesture. The look of all of the entries can be customized as well.

TaskMatrix is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 5 ratings.
