Tap Titans (5/5 stars, all ages, currently FREE)
Cookie Clicker fans will want to check this one out! From Amazon:
In a world overrun by evil Titans, it is up to you to slay them and restore peace and order. How do you do it? You must tap!
Tap to attack, tap to slay, tap to collect gold, tap to hire heroes. Tap to activate devastating skills, tap to unlock powerful auras, tap to summon mysterious artifacts. Tap to explore beautiful worlds, tap to meet helpful fairies, tap to revive heroes, tap to collect lost treasures. Keep tapping away. You are our last and only hope!
This gameplay trailer shows that gameplay starts out very simply: all you have to do is keep tapping to keep attacking the bad guy till he’s defeated. But as the level 369 gameplay video below shows, the game increases in complexity and difficulty as you level up, enabling you to summon additional heroes to your team and collect power-ups and treasures from a fairy who appears from time to time — if you can catch her!

Deemo is a mystic character lives in solitude, a castle, all by itself. A little girl falls from the sky, not knowing who she is, where she comes from. To help the little girl back to her world, Deemo comes to realize a tree keeps growing tall on top of the piano whenever it plays. What would Deemo do when it gets comfortable with the companionship it never had before? What if the little girl couldn’t deal with the truth when her seemingly lost memories are regained?!
