Why we picked this?

Speed and accuracy is the name of the game in The Firm. As stocks come across your desk, you must decide if you should buy or not buy based on the color and trend of each company. Your decisions must be made in a snap, because the stocks just keep on piling up. Just don’t make too many bad purchases, otherwise you’ll be fired.

If you like fast-paced arcade games, you’re really going to enjoy The Firm. The gameplay is frantic and fun, and the pixel art style really lends itself well to the overall feel of the game.

If you enjoy more meaty arcade games, you’re going to have to look elsewhere in today’s list. The Firm is a pick-up-and-play game through and through.

Why we picked this?

Who knew you could have so much fun with a single section of string? Grab on to the black dot to start unraveling your string. Then pull it around the screen to loop it around dots and connect others to cancel them out. You must avoid the red dots and walls at all costs, otherwise you’ll have to start the puzzle over. The game includes 50 beautifully designed and serene levels to pull your string through.

If you like minimalist puzzle games, you’re going to love twined. It offers a totally unique puzzle experience.

If you have an older iPad, like an iPad 2 or earlier, you may want to skip this one. Even though the graphics are pretty basic, the fluid gameplay requires a bit of horsepower.

DryGin Studios

Become the ultimate evil doctor by developing lethal illnesses for your patients in Bio Inc.

Bio Inc. is for gamers that enjoy having a sick sense of power.

$2.99 $2.99
Why we picked this?

This is one sickening game, but in a rather irresistible way. Your job is to take down formerly healthy patients in any way possible as quickly as you can. You must first collect viruses and bacteria in order to earn bio points. Once you have enough, you can start to cause health problems for your patients and go after vital organs. The more problems you can cause, the faster you patient will succumb to them. The game includes 12 stages, 100 conditions, and some fantastic graphics with real-time body degradation.

If you enjoy tearing things down instead of building them up, then this game is right up your alley.

If the idea of destroying innocent people isn’t something that interests you, steer clear of this one. It is kind of a demented concept even if it is only a game.

Why we picked this?

DUNGEONy has it all. As you tap and crawl your way through the various dungeons, you’ll be tasked with upgrading your character, choosing turn-based attacks, and dealing with all kinds of random events that will keep you on your toes. A quick tutorial at the beginning of the game will introduce you to the basic concepts, but once you get crawling it’s all on you to survive. The pixel art graphics also provide DUNGEONy with a pleasant retro feel.

If you retro-inspired dungeon crawlers are your thing, download DUNGEONy today. At first glance it may seem just like every other game in the genre, but DUNGEONy is one of the more tactical games you’ll find in the App Store.

If the pacing of dungeon crawlers just isn’t to your liking, DUNGEONy will do absolutely nothing to change that.
