Best free iPad games 2022
Two thumbs are also all you need to clamber up vertical surfaces, wall jump, and obliterate enemies using giant yellow tanks they’ve carelessly left lying about the place. But Super Cat Tales 2 revels in its perceived limitations, offering levels that require clever choreography to crack. Combine that with a slew of secrets, plenty of variety (underwater sections; a level set on a speeding train), and you’ve one of the finest mobile platforms you’re ever likely to see. Instead, you know you’re going to be served with high-octane larger-than-life races, where your car’s regularly catapulted through the air, in a manner that would make the average mechanic shriek in terror. Asphalt 9, though, heads towards the bizarre in a decidedly different manner, with a ‘TouchDrive’ control scheme that streamlines careening around a race course, largely by letting the game itself deal with steering. Although there is a ‘manual’ alternate system buried in the settings, you by default tap and swipe to switch lanes, perform stunts, drift and boost.
Sure, what you get is somewhat removed from a ‘proper’ racing game; but the end result manages to marry speed and adrenaline with a kind of puzzling, as you work out the moves required to grab the chequered flag. And when it clicks, there’s a ton of content to work through, and some of the most eye-poppingly dazzling visuals to grace an iPad racer. Initially, The Battle of Polytopia (originally Super Tribes) was akin to a stripped-back early entry in the classic Civilization series. But new and unique tribes with their own tech and distinct units shook things up further; and the game’s relatively intuitive nature made it a good fit for iPhone.
What’s perhaps most surprising, though, is that even if you have Civilization VI on your iPad, Polytopia might win your heart, through its mix of immediacy, fun and charm. On iPad, the game looks gorgeous and there’s less chance of your thumbs covering up something important when you’re leaping about.
Customisable controls, gamepad support, upgrade paths, a unique sense of character and a big game world make this an unmissable freebie you won’t lick in a hurry. This third entry in the Fowlst series is the best yet – although you have to feel for a solitary chicken that’s taken on the responsibility of saving the world from an endless demon incursion.
This heroic hen can be kitted out with all kinds of weapons, including explosive eggs and heatseeking missiles expelled from its bottom.
And you’ll need all the help you can get, because the demons you face quickly evolve from doddering dimwits occasionally sending a fiery projectile your way to demented bosses that blaze around the screen, flinging all manner of horrible death in your general direction. On iPad, Super Fowlst 2 really shines: the retro-oriented visuals are vibrant and beautifully detailed; and the larger screen ensures enemies never lurk beneath a digit. Like the mutant offspring of Missile Command, Risk and a megalomaniac’s ultimate fantasy, First Strike has you do battle in a world where every superpower has their finger on a terrifyingly dangerous trigger. Things kick off with each power limited to a small patch of territory, little ordnance, and technology rooted deep in the previous century. Even when taking the role of a major superpower, a lapse in concentration can result in half your land being obliterated when you fail to respond rapidly enough to a devastating nuclear first strike. Even when you’re equipped with stealth bombers and long-range nukes, it’s easy to over-extend and leave your territory open to attack. Now it’s free, you’ve no excuse to not dig into a game that invites you to blow up the world, while never letting you forget about the horror of what it means to do so.
Void Tyrant’s cycle is built around you getting killed, using your spoils to kit out your successor with better starting equipment, and repeating the process. Even so, bar the odd moment where you really question quite why a boss enemy is getting quite so perfect hands (or perhaps we’re just bad losers), even the churn is fun; and taken as a whole, Void Tyrant is one of the nicest freebie strategy surprises on the platform.
And, indeed, the free version of SpellTower+ is effectively that game, albeit polished a bit for modern devices, and with the new Daily Search. Years back, the iPad was the place for vibrant old-school twin-stick shooters, where the aim was to blast everything to smithereens until you ended up atomised yourself.
Those titles have all gone now, and the App Store’s a poorer place for that, but PewPew Live keeps the flame alive for high-octane blasters in a shoebox. Five shoeboxes, actually, because PewPew Live has that many distinct modes baked in, each of which provides a unique twist on claustrophobic arcade fare. Eskiv recalls the dearly missed Bit Pilot, packing its tiny arena with rocks to dodge. But on iPad, the dazzling neon visuals get the chance to shine and your thumbs rarely cover up anything important. You might initially consider Dashy Crashy yet another lane-based survival game, where you swipe to avoid traffic, getting as many points as possible before your inevitable smashy demise. All these twists make Dashy Crashy strategically superior to – and deeper than – its contemporaries; it’s also a lot more fun to play.
Much of the magic and mystery of the original Power Hover sits within its brilliantly choreographed set piece levels, which find you scything across futuristic deserts and oceans, trying not to turn your powerboarding robot into a heap of scrap metal by directing it into a rock. But that game also finishes each section with an exhilarating boss battle, which pits you against psychotic androids in cartwheeling tunnels of death. Each stage feels distinct, whether you’re deep inside a laser-infested pyramid, atop a gigantic pipe snaking through the clouds, or zigzagging through blocky obstacles and spiked contraptions in the oddly named Metro (in the sense it has pretty weird design for even the grubbiest, least welcoming city imaginable). And that’s fair enough – a slippy pane of glass can’t compete with the precision afforded by a gamepad or keyboard, when you’re stomping about shooting things.
However, Shadowgun Legends manages the improbable, bringing a high-octane FPS to your iPad in fine style. But, my, is this game a blast, as you run around, blowing up everything in sight, or dabble in multiplayer shooty larks during your character’s supposed ‘downtime’. There are 149 other broadly untranslatable terms to piece together in this tactile word game, which feels especially at home on the iPad. Early puzzles are akin to someone having carefully sliced the solution into two or three parts, and then glued them back together in a very different arrangement. Parts separate by way of a satisfying pop when dragged, spin with a tap, and make a handy click when correctly joined. You end up staring at abstract shapes, almost like an art canvas, trying to make sense of it, searching for recognisable letterforms you can join back together. The iPad’s larger display and aspect ratio gives the puzzles space to breathe, and the textural visual design almost fools you into thinking you’re manipulating real-world objects atop a canvas. ElectroMaster first rocked up in 2010, zapped its way around countless iPhones and iPads, and was defeated by the deadliest of foes: Apple. Something to do with saving a sibling, as ‘explained’ in odd storytelling on between-level screens; but you mostly spend your time doddering about arenas jam-packed with enemies, holding down to charge your weapon, and then letting rip. Both objectives become progressively harder as you hit higher levels, and a smattering of power-ups and an alternate game mode keep things fresh. Visually, ElectroMaster resembles an ancient arcade title, complete with chunky characters and scan lines. But the touch controls are very iPad – and the tablet’s size makes it a better bet than playing on an iPhone, because covering a couple of critters with a finger would spell instant death.
That said, do play with your tablet flat on a table, to avoid the thing flying across the room when you whizz your digit all over the place, blasting away at enemies. You then draw channels for the sugar to flow along, and make use of on-screen objects to further help the sweet stuff to its goal.
There’s a bunch of waffle on the Casual Metaphysics App Store page about spirituality and reaching a higher state of consciousness. At its core, Casual Metaphysics is a match game – but it’s a long way from swapping gems to make a row of three.
However, as you progress through the game’s levels, the shapes increase in complexity and finding matches becomes tougher – a problem, since if you linger, your score is gradually eroded. On iPad, the larger display makes for a more dazzling visual experience and helps accuracy when dragging between shapes. But also, defeat the computer player enough times and you unlock local multiplayer, which proves a much better experience on the bigger screen. Here, you start with four classical elements – air, earth, fire and water – and set about combining them to fashion anything from cities to spaceships.
Imagine Fruit Ninja, but rather than you maniacally slicing away at half a supermarket’s fresh produce aisle being hurled into the air, you instead take out your fury on arty geometric patterns. At which point, you might also chill out a bit, because although Linia super is clearly inspired by the aforementioned fruity title, it’s far more thoughtful and considered. With each group of challenges having its own sense of character, it almost feels like you’re methodically slicing up a gallery of modern art. By using them to construct words, you unlock further letters to use; and by bringing your Scrabble brain, you can ramp up your points by making use of bonus tiles.
The presentation is also first-rate, from the bold tiles, which look lovely on the iPad’s larger display, to the minimalist sparrows that adorn the menu screen. A gentle soundtrack serenades your ears as you play, and the game’s lack of timers suggests you should be in no hurry to blaze through everything. With stylish design, smartly conceived controls and an inviting manner, it’s an excellent way to spend a few hours being entertained on an iPad.
You therefore begin with something more basic, building extractors to rip up trees and move logs on conveyor belts to a research lab.
By ferrying raw materials through workshops and machine shops, they can be combined into new items, which prompts further research. In effect, it’s like a real-time take on a Civilization tech tree combined with Mini Metro map ‘rewiring’ when you discover inefficiencies.
But understand Builderment being a no-risk game you’re supposed to experiment with and note the small details (such as directional arrows on buildings you’re about to plonk down) on the iPad’s large screen and things will soon start to click. Whether you’ll manage to put in the hours to manufacture ‘Earth tokens’ from a vast factory spanning a continent, who knows? Fortunately, the game doesn’t require extreme precision regarding positioning, and so provides a helpful hand of sorts. But the odd nature of the pieces makes Mosaic Chronicles feel different from a traditional jigsaw, and should keep even aficionados of the form captivated for a fair few hours. Each of the game’s 40+ levels provides you with a bunch of actions you can drag on to the landscape – which is helpfully divided into an isometric grid. This change significantly alters your approach, not least when levels demand you construct labyrinthine pathways that have the dino double back several times prior to reaching the goal.
You’ll often run out of arrows and sit there baffled about how to proceed – doubly so when trampolines, switches and teleporters enter the equation. Such games force you to think at speed or against a moves limit, and can frustrate by lobbing plenty of randomness into the mix.
I Love Hue Too is essentially the polar opposite of such titles, instead inviting you to relax while tackling puzzles at your own pace. This kind of thing works particularly well on the iPad, its large display making it easy to manipulate tiles (especially when they get smaller in later levels) and also to spot subtle differences in colour. And elsewhere on this list, Super Cat Tales 2 offers an alternate slant, where platform gaming is stripped back for a heavily touch-screen-oriented approach. OCO, apparently, doesn’t think that goes far enough, and provides a minimalist experience that’d make even Jony Ive do a double-take.
Each circular level in this sleek world spins about its centre, with your auto-running block only able to leap when you tap the screen. Sure, you can brute-force your way through much of the game, but reward here comes in matching OCO’s elegance – in figuring out how a level in which you just jumped a dozen times can in fact be completed in a mere two leaps.
Here, you can optionally add such effects to famous Williams fare, resulting in an optimistic army guy taking pot-shots at UFOs in the sublime Attack From Mars, or a grumpy dragon belching fire in Medieval Madness. This is XP- and currency-based, with you levelling up and winning coins on completing daily challenges on unlocked tables. By the same token, you’re grinding by playing classic pinball, which is pretty great; and the challenges are often score-attacks with unlimited balls, helping you learn a table’s secrets. Just make sure you pick wisely for the initial solitary unlocked table: Attack From Mars, The Getaway, and Medieval Madness are good bets.
Fully unlocking a table costs 250 coins, which is expensive compared to other systems, but two stars is enough for unlimited (albeit online) play. Bullet hell shooters, where your ship is tasked with weaving between countless projectiles, work surprisingly well on touchscreens.
That said, the sub-genre can be overwhelming for newcomers – and frustrating when a finger inevitably ends up covering something deadly during a vital moment. Salvagette deftly deals with these issues by reimagining the bullet hell shooter as a single-screen, level-oriented turn-based strategy effort. Presumably due to cutbacks, you’re lacking in bullets yourself and so must ram enemy ships while avoiding whatever they send in your general direction. That said, there’s still tension as levels become increasingly packed with foes, leaving you trying to think several moves ahead, in order to avoid a pummelling.
This makes the game ideal for iPad, the larger screen giving you the space to play and think. Although the basic aim remains the same as in traditional golf – get your ball in the hole in as few shots as possible – the oddball nature of the courses demands a very different approach.
Windmills, trees and other hazards inconveniently stick out of many planetoids, fish leap from lakes, and courses have a strict boundary around them.
Success relies on memorising courses, figuring out the best route to the hole, and executing that sometimes labyrinthine path to the best of your ability. But the unique elements within make this one worth a download, even if you think you’ve had your fill of iPad golf games. If playing friends on Game Centre, avoid new balls for best results, but the ads IAP is worth grabbing.
Vertical shooters tend to be frenetic affairs, marrying your ability to dance between showers of glowing bullets and blast everything in your path to smithereens. Lift your finger and your enemies halt, but the inky blackness won’t, eventually ending your journey through this surreal world. To counter this, green enemies drop credits you can spend on boosts during your next game, and blue foes ditch pick-ups that augment your critter’s arsenal – initially a rubbish pea shooter – with multi-directional shots, massive rockets, and more. Such one-thumb controls might seem reductive, but in the hands of canny creators, this system has breathed new life into tired genres.
One-thumb racing games, though, are rare, and yet Pico Rally shows how a single digit provides plenty of commands as you belt along. You must time this carefully, so as to navigate the track efficiently, zoom ahead of rivals and take the chequered flag.
The overall effect is like classic slot-car racing, except your car isn’t restricted to a single lane. Instead, cars in Pico Rally jostle for the lead, not least when you’re careening along being pursued by cops more interested in beating you to the finish line than pulling you over for speeding. The 60 tracks are diverse in terms of hazards and course design, and the physics feel suitably solid, yet keeps you on your toes as new surfaces arrive. The two-player mode is disappointing (no split screen, meaning you often find cars vanish off-screen), but there’s loads to keep the solo racer engrossed.
Although not lodged as firmly in the public consciousness as Pac-Man and Space Invaders, arcade classic Missile Command remains memorable for the right reasons. It works well on iPad, with the larger display dazzling your eyes with neon visuals, and giving you a fighting chance of accurately placing shots that trigger chain reactions.
Entertainingly, the game does offer one slice of 1980s authenticity, in the form of an AR virtual arcade cab you can project into the room. ALLSTAR is an exception – a game that while not an equal to console brawlers nonetheless brings across enough from the genre to pack a punch. Based on the famous titular series, this game mostly features side-on scrapping, in the vein of classics Double Dragon, Final Fight and Renegade. But when you’re on the streets, battling for survival, the iPad’s big screen ensures the touch controls work well, and the visuals and action alike combine to make for arguably the best fighter on the system. You’re likely familiar with Schrödinger’s cat – a thought experiment featuring a moggie that can be considered both alive and dead. There’s a science bent to many of them, which is augmented further by a quantum physics ‘Kittypedia’ app on an in-game phone – just the thing to make you feel dumb seconds after considering yourself a genius for cracking a tricky challenge.
Given the game’s tactile nature – arguably almost to a fault, since inventory objects are retrieved from the cat’s stomach by tickling its belly – it feels tailor-made for the iPad’s display. It looks great on a large screen, and you get a clear view of what’s going on, whether you’re swiping about the room or digging into the phone’s other apps (including a handy messaging system and a means to accessorise the cat). Although also available for iPhone, XOB makes most sense on iPad, whereupon it converts your device into a kind of bizarre retro-television experience you physically manhandle to impact the in-game world.
In fact, with its lashings of CRT fuzz and visual glitches, you suspect XOB would be happiest beaming forth from an old-school telly; it’ll have to make do with an Apple-branded slab of metal and glass. XOB nails the puzzling, with smart design; but it cements its claim to a place on your iPad by way of a psychedelic aesthetic that’s excitingly fresh. Your lone hero begins each challenge surrounded by enemies looking to turn his innards into a bloody Pollock on the minimalist terrain.
That probably sounds like you’re in for a fast-paced fighting game, but A Way To Slay is, in fact, a turn-based strategy puzzler. Success depends on figuring out the order in which to dispatch everyone – no mean feat when you’re facing a dozen or so heavily armed knights, samurai, orcs or assassins. If that’s not challenging enough, A Way To Slay pits you against the clock as well – so once you’ve cracked a solution, you must try to pull it off in a handful of seconds.
Assuming you can stand the blood spatter, A Way To Slay is an excellent freebie, and one that cleverly subverts existing genres.
Although the critically acclaimed Journey now exists on iPad, Sky almost renders it irrelevant, taking that game’s lush 3D environments and exploration-oriented gameplay, and opening it up for massively multiplayer adventures. You may find yourself before a door, which requires two people to open, and urge a temporary companion to help by way of your limited number of noises and gestures.
Yes, it can be irritating when you’re unsure how to unlock the next barrier, or make a jump when torrential rain and cold are robbing your wings of power; but few games give you such a sense of unbridled glee as Sky, when you’re sliding down hillsides on your heels, or just flying because you can. Although this sometimes results in dexterity-oriented arcade tests (often making use of the game’s ‘jump’ mechanic that flips you between ceiling and floor rather than having the hero briefly leap upwards a bit), most levels have puzzles at their core.
Jars are therefore peppered with hazards, switches, enemies and blocks that temporarily bestow special powers, and you must figure out how and when to make use of each, in order to progress. There are no happy campers in this sliding puzzler, which features horror flick antagonist Jason Voorhees hacking his way through a campsite and beyond.
Each grid finds you swiping Jason around, who slides until he smacks into a wall, comes a cropper due to a hazard, or reaches a victim. After all, this is a game where the decapitated head of the lead’s mother provides helpful advice from the corner of the screen, urging her murdery son onwards.
The mechanics still aren’t really anything you’ve not seen before, but the puzzle design is good to the point that this alone would make the game worth a recommendation. But the absurdist cartoon horror trappings, black humour, and polish make this a killer game in more ways than one. The free-to-play aspect is also generous: watch a video ad and you get three more games in the bank, which can be built up into a substantial reserve.

The Best Free iPad and iPhone Apps for Babies and Toddlers
During the early periods of a child’s life it is vitally important for babies or toddlers to focus on brain development.
