Why we picked this?

Play as Paddy and try to work your way through the King’s Castle as quickly as possible to recover the gold that was stolen by The Fool. Paddy isn’t exactly the aggressive type, however, so you’ll have to use your stealth skills to sneak by guards and other scoundrels. You’re even able to utilize environmental objects to create new paths or find new hiding spots. You’re able to guide Paddy around the environments just by dragging your finger where you want him to go. Double-tap to leap to platforms, and put two fingers to the screen to rotate the camera.

Sirtet is like Tetris, but reversed.

$1.99 $1.99
Why we picked this?

Your job is to try and keep the screen clear of blocks by removing them in groups of four. They must all be attached to each other and of the same color in order to be connected. These groups of blocks are called tetrominos, and each one will score you one point. Where things take a turn is how blocks are added. Instead of guiding blocks that fall like Tetris, you must place the rows of blocks onto the board wherever you want. You’ll need to be strategic here, as you can’t allow your blocks to reach the top of the screen. The game includes three different boards sizes, four difficulty levels, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.
