Free Fractal fun through Friday

Fractal: Make Blooms Not War

Fractal: Make Blooms Not War was a visually unique and challenging puzzle game from IndiePub until it was no longer from IndiePub and disappeared from the App Store. Publishing rights have returned to developer Cipher Prime, but with those comes a new App Store entry that doesn’t know you’ve already bought the game. In other words, if you want to keep getting free updates, you’re going to need to buy it again…unless you download it for free by tomorrow.

Big tank-on-tank battle, on a wee screen. Tank Battalion Blitz is a universal app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch that lets you chose your personal tank and three support tanks for a Red versus Blue session. It’s a simple, but fun game with enough realism in regards to tank performance to appeal to anyone from the casual gamer to the history buff who wonders “what would happen if a King Tiger went up against a Panzer II?”

iSesamo steel repair tool review

iSesamo

I’ve had an iPhone 3G with a severely broken screen lying around the house for a while now, so I figured I’d give the iSesamo a try on it, even though I didn’t have a replacement handy. Using the iSesamo, I was able to almost effortlessly remove the cracked glass screen, exposing the iPhone’s internals in less than 30 seconds. I don’t doubt this would have been a much more difficult task with a plastic spudger.
