It's sad, but some people - especially around Christmas - give only to receive. EnsenaSoft, however, don't want anything in return for Mahjong Deluxe 2 and 12 of their other titles. Yep, you can download them all completely free of charge from the App Store until December 27th. Over the past year, EnsenaSoft have switched direction and moved more towards 3D development. With this sale, EnsenaSoft hope to get their latest creations into the hands of as many people as possible, and gain a little exposure. There are no hidden in-app purchases and no pesky ads in any of EnsenaSoft's games, so you can download them gratis and play them to your heart's content. ABC Coloring Town ABC Coloring…

If you've been an iOS gamer for more than a few months, you'll have played a tower defence title. The App Store is full of them, after all. Office Hero, from Keyloft, is one such tower defence title. In Office Hero, you have to help a hard-working businessman called Mike protect his office from the attacks of increasingly nasty and competitive companies who want to see him fail. In order to protect Mike's workplace, you'll have to rally together his most loyal employees (the game's towers). They all have unique skills that will help you to repel the office invaders. Unlike in most tower defence titles, you can move every single tower in Office Hero freely and without penalty. This adds…

Lightomania is a brand-new physics-puzzler from a developer called Nravo. In Lightomania, you're tasked with helping two fuzzy (and loveable) thieves who plan to make off with the world's supply of energy-rich light bulbs. You do this across 54 varied stages. How? By pulling the tongues of your pilfering buddies and then launching them across your device's screen at their targets. Naturally, you should attempt to complete each stage in as few moves as possible if you wish to get your mitts on any of Lightomania's many bonuses. Although Lightomania was inspired by some of the App Store's most popular puzzle games, such as Angry Birds and Cut the Rope, Nravo have worked hard to ensure th…

If you're familiar with Apple's App Store, you'll already be more than aware that it's chock-full of similar-sounding hidden object titles. For those of you who are unfamiliar with hidden object games, by the way, let me explain. You have to spot specific items in crowded scenes that are usually jam-packed with distracting elements, such as people or other items. Dream: Hidden Adventure, which was released worldwide back in October by developer Komar Games, is no different. However, publisher Renatus Media believe their involved plot and story-driven gameplay set Dream: Hidden Adventure apart from the rest of the crowded pack. It's this emphasis on story, in fact, of which publisher R…

If Ubisoft's Gold Award-winning Rayman Jungle Run has remained on your iPhone or iPad Home screen since its release last September, you'll be overjoyed to read that sequel Rayman Fiesta Run is now available to download from the App Store and Google Play. Rayman Fiesta Run is packed with tons of new levels and power-ups, as well as plenty of new challenges and an all-new food-themed world that you can explore relatively freely. We recently sat down with the Rayman Fiesta Run dev team to discuss these new features and the future of Rayman Fiesta Run a little further.

If you're on the lookout for a fun and casual puzzle game, you may want to consider free-to-play title Quads. Quads is a game all about sizes. In each turn, you're presented with a 10x10 grid of green, red, blue, and purple squares. Your aim is simply to tap on the colour that covers the most squares. It's really that simple. Each time you successfully tap on the largest area and earn points, the on-screen colours shift and move around on the game board. You repeat the process until the in-game timer ticks down to zero. You can spend the points (known as quads) you earn as you play in the in-game shop on a range of power-ups that enable you to - among other things - extend the abovementio…

Kairosoft's Hot Springs Story and Pocket Academy Now $1.99
If you're a frequent user of the App Store, you'll have noticed that it only takes a sniff of a special occasion for iPhone publishers to start slashing prices. With Thanksgiving quickly approaching in the US, Japanese developers Kairosoft have decided to offer both Hot Springs Story and Pocket Academy at the discounted price of $1.99. The latter of these titles tasks you with taking over a floundering school and turning it around by constructing new classrooms, forming extracurricular clubs, and attracting eager students to your revamped institute. Hot Springs Story, on the other hand, charges you with creating a relaxing spa, where teachers can come and unwind after a long day teach…
Angry Birds Rio Gets 15 New Levels In Smugglers' Plane Update
Throughout the course of Rovio's Angry Birds Rio, we've followed the franchise's famous birds through jungles, across beaches, and over airfields. Thanks to another update to this bestselling game, the fiery's fowls' journey has been extended by another 15 levels. This new epsiode - which is entitled Smugglers' Plane - also features a fresh selection of golden fruit to seek out and collect. And if you're at all familiar with the physics-based title, you'll know that these are rarely found in plain sight. You can, of course, still use the Mighty Eagle to easily blast through any levels that prove to be a tad tricky, providing you've splashed out on the 99c in-app purchase. You can grab R…
Colourful Endless Flyer Whale Trail Getting Challenge Chapters and Additional Levels In Update
Popular iPhone infinite flyer Whale Trail will recieve a 'major' update in around ten days' time, which will - among other things - introduce all-new challenge chapters to supplement the game's Endless mode. The planned upgrade will also mark the arrival of an additional 32 unlockable levels. And if you're feeling rather lazy or your skills simply aren't good up to the task, you'll be able to grab some of them by splashing the cash on in-app purchases. Whale Trail floated into the App Store back in October and earned a respectable 4/5 at review. We noted that its 'stellar level of presentation; clever level layout variation; and simple controls' make it worth checking out. You can pick…
