$2 iOS Puzzler ‘Noodles’ Is Apple’s Free App Of The Week, Download Now

Another week comes to an end, and as always we have Apple spreading the weekend love with another paid iOS app going free for a limited period of time. As part of the company’s Free App of the Week initiative, we are looking at an awesome puzzler to download on our iPhones and iPads, one that usually retails for $2 on the App Store.

Called “Noodles!”, it is indeed an addictive puzzler that has shed its price tag for the very first time since its release. As is always the case though, it can be grabbed free-of-cost till next Thursday only, but before we get to that, let’s see what it has to offer.

Sure, puzzle platforms can be pretty engaging once you get the hang of them, but not often do us gamers stick around with one because, one: it gets too taxing on the mind, and two: your patience runs out. In my experience however, if puzzle games employ a theme that may rev your brain but allow it to relax as well, you’ll not only enjoy the most difficult of levels, but stick around more as a result.

This is exactly what Noodles! does, with its minimalistic design and art, as well as the Zen-like sounds that puts your mind in a relaxed state. Of course, there are many iOS games that comes to mind when you think along these characteristics, and while Noodles! offer’s a gameplay that is pretty unique, what it has in common with other minimalistic and relaxing iOS puzzle games is that it oozes a premium package.

So let’s get down to the aim of the game. As the developer tells us, “Tap to spin and connect all the noodle pieces – once you solve a puzzle, figure out the strategy and beat your own score to get FIVE STARS!” However, as is the case with every puzzler, all is not that meets the eye. “Sound easy? It might be in the first few levels, but as you progress try connecting a giant hexagon Noodle … puzzles get more complex as more sides are added. What are you going to do then?”

Noodles! for iOS offers over a thousand addicting puzzles, and best of all it comes unlocked so you can skip to the next level as well, and all of that without any in-app purchases. Perfect if you ask me.

Noodles! for iPhone and iPad can be downloaded for free right now from the Apple App Store.
