Memory Match Game DoubleTake is the Free App of the Day

Today’s Amazon Free App of the Day is DoubleTake, a tile matching casual puzzle game. This popular game, which offers a high-tech twist on the old Memory card-turning game you probably played as a child, has garnered an average of 4/5 stars across 123 reviews.

From Amazon:

DoubleTake is a chilled-out yet frantic pair-matching game based on the classic card game Memory. DoubleTake features shiny graphics, soothing sounds and music, and four different game modes for every skill level. Train your brain or just relax and enjoy the pretty colors.

Four Ways to Test Your Memory
The four game modes give you a wide variety of matching games. Sprint mode is a super-fast game; you get only one minute to match as many pairs as you can. Your score is based on speed. Timed mode is a little less frantic, but you still have a time limit. When you make matches, you restore your time to the time limit.

Survival mode is more relaxing as there is no time limit, but it’s still a challenge. Your health meter depends on accuracy; you lose health points for mismatches, and gain health for fresh matches. Basic mode is the most relaxed mode. Simply match the entire board without penalties for mismatches. Try for the best time and the fewest number of moves.

Build combos for higher scores, and take advantage of the cool power-ups in Survival and Timed modes. DoubleTake improves your memory skills while relaxing your brain.

DoubleTake: get it today, while it’s Amazon’s Free App of the Day.
