XenoCube is a match-three puzzler that tasks you with, erm, matching three similarly coloured blocks across multiple sides of a 3D cube.

Both the iPhone and iPad versions of XenoCube come packing five unique game modes, each with "up to" 32 different levels. If you own a shiny iPad 2, you can even take advantage of a special augmented reality mode.

Crazy Escape (Universal)

What do you do if a bunch of defenceless sheep have been captured by a group of greedy wolves? Recruit two colourful penguins and attempt to rescue them, of course.

You do this by drawing a road for your fishy friends to travel along. The speed at, and precision with, which you drag your sweaty digit across your device's screen determines the success of your mission.
