New games are great, but on the off chance there’s nothing that strikes your fancy this week, there’s always another option to turn to: sales! Every week, a number of good games drop in price. Here are five that you can get on the App Store right now without paying a dime:

Drop Flip

A puzzle game where timing is everything, you’ll need to drop a ball at precisely the right time to reach the bucket below. It’s a lot harder than it sounds (and very good fun).

hocus

Puzzles where you guide things to a destination usually have an obstacle or two in the way — but making the environment an M.C. Escher-inspired brainmelt is a whole other ball game. Our review.

Satellina

We really enjoyed the color-based puzzle game Satellina when it launched on the App Store last year, and thanks to the impending launch of a sequel, they’ve slashed the price to $0. Like it? Stay tuned for Satellina Zero, which they’re describing as “a streamlined one-finger arcade game that looks and sounds like Satellina, but plays entirely differently.”

The Secret of Grisly Manor

With a new sequel on the App Store today, what better way to get people interested than by giving away the first game? The Secret of Grisly Manor lets players explore a home and solve the mystery of their missing grandfather.

Bear Winter

Bear-Winter-02

Match-3 meets survival game! Stay warm, collect food and arrows, and try to avoid being bear food. Our review is also not bear food.

Jim Squires is the Editor-in-Chief of Gamezebo. Everything you see passes his eyes first, so we like to think of him as "the gatekeeper of cool stuff." He likes good games, great writing, and just can't say no to a hamburger. Also, he is not a bear.
