Legend of the Moon takes inspiration from old-school SNES games to deliver a nostalgia-inducing platformer/action RPG experience. There are only 4 controls for this game - you can move left and right, jump, and attack. Killing monsters gives you gold that you can use for upgrades. You also can choose between several companion creatures that have ranged attacks and are upgradeable.
It might take some time for you to complete the game, but the good thing is that there are no pay-to-win mechanics here. You just need patience and a sound strategy for all the different stages and bosses.
Magnet Balls 2
Sale ends in: 2 days | Download here
Magnet Balls 2 is one of the most entertaining tile-matching games we've played in years. Your goal is to aim and shoot in the attempt to attach 3 balls of the same color in order to make them disappear, sometimes creating chain reactions for higher scores.
As you can see from the video, the game's physics are quite fun - in most levels, there's a magnet holding all the balls you need to take out. Disrupting the balance of the arrangement will cause it to spin, thus creating chaos that allows you to chain combos together. There are 7 bonus balls with different effects that periodically become available in the game's 165+ levels. Also, there are no in-app purchases or ads to disrupt your play.
CELL 13

You also have to interact with other survivors throughout the wasteland. You can cooperate with some, but others will compete with you for valuable resources. You can also choose to risk it and raid the shelters of other survivors in order to get their valuable loot.
