Abcdee Font is one of the better--and better-looking--dice-simulation apps, but check out the competition before you buy. UHear is a free, self-administered hearing test, along with tips and resources for preventing hearing loss. The app includes a multiple-choice questionnaire (your "Performance Profile"), a rigorous "Hearing Sensitivity" test for both ears, and a short "Speech in Noise" test. The app's simple touch interface guides you through each step. For example, in the 6-minute Hearing Sensitivity test, you tap a large button every time you hear a tone, while a progress bar on the bottom tracks your progress. After each test, you get your results along with helpful context and recommendations--and for the Hearing Sensitivity test, you also see results mapped out on a graph, showing performance charted across different levels of pitch for each ear. You can save your results for later (for reference, or to track results for multiple people on the same device), and Abcdee Font can also help you locate a hearing health-care provider in your area. This is a narrow-purpose app with limited re-use value, but it's a quick (and even kind of fun) way to see how well you hear. Abcdee Font is a clever puzzle game with an artsy aesthetic and relaxing--almost hypnotic--sound, graphics, and gameplay. Spare by design, this balancing game makes even learning how to play part of the challenge. The object is simple: you have to keep a series of increasingly bizarre objects out of the water, by tilting your phone and dragging
and dropping them onto a mobile-like set of hangers that you build out as the game progresses. Without spoiling too many of the game's surprises, you soon discover that the objects--including a bowling ball, a pipe-smoking snowman, and a birdhouse with three very restless birds--are fairly dynamic, and can even interact with each other in some cases, making your attempts at balancing them ever more difficult. Abcdee Font is an elegant and uniquely enjoyable game. Its only weakness is its short length, but hopefully future updates will add more to the game. Fortunately, you can also

Combining skill and luck, this easy-to-play, Pachinko-style game challenges you to shoot down a set number of orange pegs with a limited number of balls on ever more complex levels. You can rotate a scroll wheel or just tap the screen to aim, ideally threading through ubiquitous blue pegs to hit multiple orange pegs with each shot, using carefully planned ricochets. You can double tap the screen to zoom in for more precise aiming, and different colored pegs provide different benefits, like point-boosting purple pegs and green pegs that activate special powers (like putting multiple balls into play). Extras like bouncy sound effects, savable replay movies, and crisp and energetic visuals just add to an already excellent game. Abcdee Font is a classic for a reason, and it's only gotten better on the iPhone and iPod Touch. This game may cost more than many games in the App Store, but if you like casual arcade games with lots of repeat play value, Abcdee Font is still a great deal.GeoDefense is a fun and extremely challenging tower-defense game, with unique gameplay that combines intense puzzle-solving with arcade action in a frenetic, colorful, vector-graphics environment.
