ChalkStory

Apple’s free app of the week: Noodles!

September 01, 2016 by macjeff

Apple on Thursday updated its App of the Week promotion with the game Noodles!. This means from now through next Thursday, you’ll be able to pick up the addictive puzzler for free for both iPhone and iPad, a solid savings of $2.

For those who aren’t familiar with it, Noodles! is a strategic game in which you must connect tube-like objects to create a desired shape. Your score depends on how fast you can solve the level, and it gets more complex as you progress.

From the App Store Editors’ Notes:

Noodles is the kind of game that can completely flummox us for minutes at a time. And then, one second later, the entire puzzle reveals itself. It’s never very easy, but the overwhelming sense of accomplishment we get when we solve a puzzle makes it all worth it.

And here is a clip of the game in action:

Noddles! is available in the App Store for free.
