    Very recommended free app. If you like Chess or checkers definitely get this. Its a kind of stylized, original format board game but it's pretty decent.

    Jumpstar

    Similar to the impossible game in that you're a square and have to precisely jump hurdles. Difference with this is you can jump multiple times(10x in succession). Graphics aren't very good, nor is there much sprite variation- as it's minimalist. But it is pretty playable, and worth a try. 3/5

    Alien Outpost
    A defend-base game- you use a turret that you can actually move up and down and aim at the incoming monsters- that distincts it from the usual defence games. Has Coolness factor to the game. Only gripe is that I'd have preferred a virtual button for the turret, and it's size of file is big compared to what it provides. But still -I liked it 3/5.

    This is quite good if you remove the obstructive ad by touching it, then going back into the game. The game is basically along the lines of the dodgem reaction based games where you're driving up the highway and have to change lanes to avoid cars. Nothing really special about it- but decent graphics, good controls(using touch). 3/5.

    Squashem
    Dailyappdream free app today. It's a game which as it sounds you're squashing things- with a giant ball. Now the gameplay wise so far doesn't materialise as much more than squashing these little bugs. But the sheer feel of this ball is fantastic, and the environments you roll around in are very good too. It doesn't win any awards as a tilt'em game, but it's well worth checking out. (er No review score yet as to see if gameplay advances any further)

    Yeah, this would be great if it had a little more game in it, eg levels had a countdown time limit instead of an infinite count-up or there were some kind of hazards. The actual rolling-the-ball-over-the-little dudes stuff is tops.

    not for me...usually the free games are the crappy ones (well, except for Hoggy, Caster, Carnivores: Dinosaur hunter, Cover Orange, Braveheart and other few titles that went free).
