Some free iOS games of note

All of these have dropped in the last couple of days. The first few might stay free, since they have plenty of IAP available. The last probably won't.

1. Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage. A goofy game using the slice mechanic from Cut the Rope and Cat on a Diet, but with large chunks of ice. Some decent strategy stuff, and definitely worth grabbing for fans of physics-based puzzlers.

2. Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim. Yes, the same game that was on the PC some fifteen years ago. A little too heavy with the IAP at some points, but still a lot of nostalgic fun.

3. Beach Games. I'm a big fan of Donut Games, who do nice simple games that are really easy to get into and have a great aesthetic.. This is exactly what it sounds like, with simple games you'd play at the beach.

4. Krashlander --- I've mentioned this before (the last time it was dropped to free). This is a ridiculously hard, but incredibly well-done game. Basically, you're controlling a skier and trying to knock over robots. It's incredibly difficult, but really meticulously designed (and difficult in a good way, unlike, say, Swing Copters).

I've pulled Beach Games. I'll let you know what I think once I get the chance to play. :)

Excellent! It's the only one of the four I haven't had a chance to dive into, but I'll grab anything Donut makes free (and they've made about a dozen free for brief periods) over the years.
