In this classic side-scrolling platformer, you take on the role of the world's last remaining Polyroll and attempt to rescue your friends from the evil Kaiser Kiwi.

Play Polyroll for more than ten seconds, and you'll begin to notice elements from other infamous platforming franchises, such as Sonic and Mario.

All of this game's 28 stages, for example, are packed with helpful power-ups that give you special abilities for a limited time.

There are also loads of springs and bumpers that propel you to otherwise unreachable areas dotted around the landscape.

Hexars is an interesting strategy title that's been designed especially for Apple's lovely iPad.

Basically, you're an army commander, and it's your job to lead your forces into battle across a variety of hexagonal battlefields.

Hexars can handle ten simultaneous inputs, so you can use every finger attached to your sweaty hands to command all of your forces at once.

Download both games now, and be sure to grab the best free apps every day via the Free App Alliance app.
