yendi1. Frozen Synapse! My god, people, get this! I'm assuming it's free to help promote Frozen Cortex, and yes, it's a game that's a few years old (and has been free already for Playstation Plus and included in Humble Bundles, so you might already have it on another platform). But it's still worth it. A great strategy game, and one that's been $10 most of its iTunes life.
2. Puzzle Forge 2 (also free on Google Play). Dear lord, I spent a lot of hours playing this during the Snowpocalypse. It takes the Triple Town mechanic -- a sort of variation on Match 3 where you place items in a grid and they merge together -- with a quest-driven game in which you try to build weapons for adventurers. There are a lot of new systems that unlock as you keep playing, and the writing is sometimes terrible (it very clearly was not localized by people with good English-language skills). That almost ends up making it more charming at times. It also has a neo-Roguelike element in that each time you fail, you keep your experience, your items, and your skills, so you get access to better stuff the longer you go. Really, really fun.
3. Duet. This is a brutally hard game at times, in which you control two dots rotating on a circle as they navigate through a field of obstacles. Really tough, but really well-designed, with some wonderful music.
4. Ancient Empires. If you remember the old java turn-based strategy game for mobile phones, this is the same thing, but fan-developed, so the writing's even less impressive. But worthwhile if you enjoyed those games.
