Why we picked this?

You want a difficult puzzle game? You’ve found it in Brainsquare. The basic idea is to move the tiles in order to match them with pins of the same color. You’re able to move tiles with left and right swipes. Left is down. Right is up. The problem is that the tiles are a jumbled mess and you’re only provided with a limited number of moves. As your progress through the game and more and more tiles are introduced, you’re going to find yourself in quite the predicament. The game includes a total of 200 challenging levels.

If you enjoy mind-bending puzzle games, check out Brainsquare. It’s easy to learn but painfully difficult to master.

Again, this is one challenging puzzle game. If you’re not fond of the idea of not advancing for a while, pick a different game from today’s list.

You can add a little extra bend to your kick by swiping left and right while the ball is in the air. The game includes five challenging modes, goalkeepers that jump and react to your shots, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.

If you like going for a high score, give Flick Soccer! HD a try. The five modes should keep you busy for some time.

Duckie Deck Development

Your little ones can feed a hungry mouth and brush the teeth clean in this educational entertainment app.

It’s for any parent trying to teach their child about the importance of dental care.

$2.99 $2.99
Why we picked this?

Duckie Deck With Teeth does a fantastic job of allowing your child to learn on their own. They’re able to populate the animated mouth with their own special set of teeth, fangs, and tusks by tapping and dragging. Snacks will begin to stream into the screen, and they can chuck them into the gaping mouth and watch as the teeth become grimy. Then when the time comes, they can brush the teeth until the smile is all white and shiny.

If your child is just learning about dental care, hand them your iDevice with this app installed. It’s a ton of fun, so they won’t even know they’re learning.

If you have a child older than seven, the content is probably a little too basic for them.
