Also consider these two highly-rated apps which are currently priced at just 99 cents each:
infeCCt (4/5 stars, all ages)
You know how in the movies, the crumbling, ancient city in the middle of the jungle is always overgrown with vines? That’s the scene in InfeCCt, a contagiously entertaining puzzle game for Android.
Creepy
The vines are growing like wildfire, but you alone control their path. The challenge is to guide them in connecting each and every tile on the grid without crossing any square twice (except the special tiles that require it). Sounds easy, right? Not so fast, intrepid explorer. To solve the puzzles you’ll have to deal with blocking tiles, vexing intersections, and color-coded tunnels. It all adds up to a puzzling challenge.
Oops, Wrong Way
If you miss a tile or get stuck somewhere, you can always backtrack–but it will cost you points. You’re also on the clock, and if you take too long to find the solution you can just forget about a bonus, pal. There’s a Solve button you can use if you’re really stumped, but you get no points at all if you use it.
InfeCCt features top-notch graphics, clever animations, and a haunting soundtrack. With more than 300 levels to unlock, you’ll spend a lot of time wrapped up in this infeCCtious game.
Guns n Glory (4/5 stars, guidance suggested)
The Bad, The Wild, and the Ugly
“Law don’t go ’round here! Saavy?”- Tombstone, 1993
Nothing made the Wild West wilder than its Outlaws: the James Gang, the Wild Bunch, the Hole in the Wall Gang, and all of those other legendary desperadoes. And who doesn’t secretly want to wear the black hat sometimes?
Nobody Gets Out Alive
It won’t be pretty: if any of those God-fearing settlers escape your hail of lead, they’ll go running straight to the Sheriff, and you can’t have that. To stay beyond the reach of the law, make sure that no one lives to tell the tale. You’ll need eagle eyes, lightning reflexes, and a heart colder than Lee Van Cleef’s to chase them all down as they scatter through the woods and canyons.
A Fistful of Pixels
But when you’ve bagged enough loot, you’ll be able to afford things like cannons, or your own steam-train-mounted Gatling gun. Then no sheriff will ever mess with you.
