Circadia is unlike any other puzzle game you’ve played before, yet it’s remarkably easy to grasp. Each level presents you with circles that when tapped on will unleash a burst of color. The bursts must converge on the white dot, or dots, all at the same time. The first few levels are pretty easy, allowing you to get the hang of things. As you make your way towards level 100, however, you’re going to come across various speeds of bursts and moving dots that will put your skills to the test.

Writedown does a nice job of including a bunch of handy features without any of them getting in the way. You’re able to record text with live Markdown syntax highlighting, and preview it for Markdown so you’ll know exactly how it will turn out. The keyboard includes a handy custom row of Markdown marks and arrow keys as well. You’re able to customize your writing environment by choosing from four different themes and seven fonts. Files can be exported and shared via email, Messages, AirDrop, Facebook, or Twitter, and you can sync your content across all of your iDevices and Macs via iCloud.

Today only, you can unlock all of the content within Playrific Playground free of charge! All you have to do is access any category and tap on a piece of locked content. You’ll then be prompted to unlock it for free. You’ll have to perform this action for each category, but it’s totally worth it. Your child will then be able to enjoy the over 100 pieces of content whenever they please.

Pepi Tree is painfully cute and surprisingly educational. Your child gets to make their way up and down the tree to interact with different animals, like owls, squirrels, and hedgehogs, to see how they fit into the eco-system. The game includes six different activities, six hilarious and totally original music tracks, and more than 20 characters.

Although the game’s unique controls were designed with the Nintendo Wii in mind, they work perfectly on everyone’s favorite mobile platform. You're able to direct Toku around Mistralis by tapping where you want him to go. Perform gestures to unleash different wind powers to reach new areas, solve puzzles, and defeat enemies. The game includes beautiful environments with special areas to discover, unlockable characters, the ability to take snapshots within the game, and achievements via Game Center.

We’re recommending Build and Play 3D today because almost any child can enjoy it. They’re able to choose from 15 different toys including a cargo ship, firetruck, jet ski, and ATV. Once the toy is selected, it will be broken up into pieces. Your child must drag and drop the pieces into their proper places in order to put it back together. If a piece doesn’t fit, it won’t snap into place, so it’s impossible for your child to make a mistake. When the toy is complete they can play with it within a unique environment.
