Nightmare: Malaria (Free)
Teaching someone about the possible dangers of mosquito bites doesnt have to be dry and boring. Nightmare: Malaria proves you can actually turn it into a fun game. This atmospheric platformer takes place within the dreams of a child and requires you to navigate blood vessels in search of teddy bears to get back to reality. Giant mosquitoes can sting you at any moment and quickly kill you so you need to use protective tents to avoid their deadly disease. Its chilling soundtrack even serves as a reminder of how serious malaria actually is.
Lawless (Free)
Lawless is an arcade shooter that has you training a group of criminals and taking on robberies and shoot-out throughout Los Angeles in the 1990s. Not only are you aiming to score high during each action-packed heist, but your gang of vigilantes also levels up and gets stronger the more you play. Despite being an on-rails shooter, the game gives you plenty of freedom to be the best crime lord the city has ever seenthat is, if you dont consider Al Pacinos triumphs in Heist.
KingHunt ($0.99)
If youre tired of slicing fruit for no reason at all other than to enter a Zen state of mind, why not try slicing demons instead? A baker-turned-villain has brought his army of evil baked goods into your kingdom and its your job of stopping him for good. KingHunt features a number of enemies throughout its 12 worlds for you to cut down to size. Youll need to avoid the bombs they throw your way, but power-ups and lots of collectibles will keep you coming back for more.
Warlords RTS ($2.99)
As its name alludes to, Warlords is a real-time-strategy game that lets you lead an army of warriors against enemy units and camps. Your super-powered warlords get experience and learn some useful abilities as you use them in battle, and you can always equip them with weapons and deadly spells.

With bosses and evil orcs waiting to tear them apart, you better use your experience points and gold wisely.
Assassin's Creed Pirates ($4.99)
Taking place in the beautiful yet treacherous seas of the Caribbean, Pirates features the same charm from Assassins Creed IV but presents you with an enjoyable standalone adventure. The game includes plenty of missions that grant you with resources to expand your ship, its crew, and your weapons so your role as a captain leaves you with plenty to do. Of course, all that treasure also means that you will engage in plenty of awesome naval battles that are just as exhilarating as those in AC IV.
RoboMouse ($1.99)
RoboMouse is a fast-paced tower defense game that takes place during an all-out war between robotic mice and robotic rabbits. You need to set up towers along different paths to stop your foes from getting close to your base.

Band Stars (Free)
Band Stars lets you form your own rock band and live the life of a star--if you make the right choices, that is.

Acting as the bands manager, you also need to ensure your team stays in tip-top shape and encourage them to practice their skills or pick up another instrument. Its a tough career, but it can definitely bring in the dough.
Double Dragon Trilogy ($2.99)
Straight from the '80s, Double Dragon Trilogy is back for more punches, head-butts, and roundhouse kicks--except this time its all happening on your phone. This compilation includes all three games, and you can play with a buddy (or your twin brother) or take on the Black Warriors all on your own.
