First up is the terrific comic book caper Framed, which is a puzzle game about moving graphic novel panels to rewrite the story and keep your protagonist safe from the fuzz. It was £3.99 / $4.99, it's now 79p / 99c. Flippin' well buy it.

Fotonica is a super slick first-person auto runner with a dashing vector art aesthetic. Craig says its "frequently savage, but ceaselessly beautiful", like a t-rex in a wig. Remember when it was £2.29 / $2.99? Well these days it's 79p / 99c, grandpa.

Alto's Adventure! Also known as "phwoar, what game is that? That's chuffing lovely that is. How much, though? £1.49 / $1.99?! Oof, a bit rich for my blood. I'm out". Well now it's 79p / 99c so go buy it you awful sub human.

Bean's Quest is, according to a 2012 review, "brilliant platformer with plenty of content and a gorgeously realised retro theme". Was £2.29 / $2.99, now £1.49 / $1.99. Cheap!

And finally there's Shadowmatic, which is about twisting a lump of clay until it casts the shadow of a teapot on the back wall. We called it "simple to the point of beauty, and beautiful to the point of becoming a work of art," like a t-rex in a wig. Was £2.29 / $2.99, now 79p / 99c.

[Update] But wait, there's more! Serene origami themed colour-swapper KAMI, which our reviewer called "a smooth and soothing puzzler", is also down from £1.49 / $1.99 to 79p / 99c.
Or if you're looking for something a little wilder, Pivvot is also on sale. We called it an "addictive, brilliantly designed blast of twitch and score-chasing", so it's definitely worth your time. It's gone from £2.29 / $2.99 to 79p / 99c.
