How about some free apps to celebrate Tuesday? Leading today’s Download Discounts are a couple of casual, simple-yet-difficult games: Evil Bricks, a fun and fast take on the match-three genre, and Supastar, a level-based vertical climbing title not unlike Doodle Jump. We’ve also got all the details on the currently free Home Food Storage, which helps you track your food, plan your meals, and prepare for emergency situations.
Evil Bricks (iPhone, iPad) Free (was $0.99)
Grab this solid match-three game if you’re looking for a new take on an old genre, which is what you get out of Evil Bricks. You’ll face a screen filled with bricks in rows of varying colors: using touch controls, you can slide the rows the rows to line up matching bricks to clear them. The more bricks you can clear out, the higher your score.
Evil Bricks is divided into multiple levels that require you to complete certain objectives, like clearing lots of bricks over time. You’ll also contend with evil bricks, which can only be dealt with by matching them to a bomb brick. If you’ve gotten bored with the match-three genre, check out Evil Bricks — it’s a new twist on an old play style.
Supastar (iPhone, iPad) Free (was $0.99)
Get Supastar while it’s free, and get a new take on the vertical jumping genre that games such as Doodle Jump have made popular with lots of iPhone and iPad owners. Supastar isn’t far from the tried-and-true formula — you’ll just tilt your device to move your bouncing spaceman from platform to platform, trying to get as high in the air as possible.
Supastar stands apart from Doodle Jump and its brethren by being divided into levels, each of which requiring you to meet a different goal to complete. Sometimes, you’ll be climbing as high as you can; other times, you’ll have to kill enemies, for example.
Home Food Storage (iPhone, iPad) Free (was $1.99)
Catalog the food you’ve got stored using Home Food Storage and you’ll have another weapon in the war against freezer burn. The app lets you scan bar codes using your iPhone or iPad 2’s rear camera. Once you’ve got the info in the app, you can add information like the weight of the food and how old it is, to accurately keep track of what you’ve got and whether it’s still good.
Home Food Storage also lets you plan to use the food you have so you know when you need to go shopping and what you have on-hand for meals. You can set goals for how fast you want to consume a certain amount of food in order to make sure it doesn’t expire, or download emergency preparedness documents in order to store the food you need in case of a disaster situation.
