It's basically Portal as a top-down puzzler. You'll make blue and orange wormholes on the side of boxes to help get a Roomba from one side of the level to another in 100 puzzles. Look out for IAP power-ups that let you slow down time and remove obstacles.

Yet It Moves
By DeNA - £2.29 / $2.99 Yet It Moves

Broken Rules will finally bring its indie puzzle platformer And Yet It Moves to iOS tonight, albeit with a slightly shorter name. The idea is to rotate the game world to uncover new paths and solve puzzles. It's got a gorgeous papercraft asthetic and a beatboxing soundtrack.

Puppet Punch
By Kedoo Entertainment - Free Puppet Punch

The kid you can see at the bottom of the stage is Pablo. You tap on puppets as they fall from the top of the stage to swing his fists at them. It's all about punching as quick as you can. Just punch, punch, punch, punch.

Total Destruction

It's just you, explosives, and over 180 fully destructible levels. More than just an excuse to blow stuff up, the idea is to use tactical thinking to use the limited number of bombs you've given to cause maximum destruction.

Football Showdown
By Naquatic - Free Football Showdown 2015

Superbowl. Ever heard of it? Me neither (I have really). But it's a big thing in America happening very soon. Hence we have a field goal sim. You go head-to-head against a friend to kick balls through a U-shaped ball. Make use of boosts to get the advantage.

Ted the Jumper
By Bulkypix - 79p / 99c Ted the Jumper

Ted is a jumper. Not one you pull over your head and wear. No, a guy whose occupation is to jump, it would seem. Help him collect blocks by jumping on them in this puzzler and I'm sure it'll make him happy.

Punchy
By Dobsoft Studios - Free Punchy

Punchy the Clown is good for two things: punching, and being punched. Recalling animation of the early 20th century, Punchy is a cartoon boxing game with a single player and two-player mode. You tap high or low to throw punches.
