In honor of the Masters Golf Tournament this weekend, we’ve included not one, but TWO golf games in our weekly collection of free iOS games new to the App Store. But if you don’t care about golf, there are plenty of other games to occupy your time with, like Blocky Snakes and some weird app from Dominos.

Ava Airborne

Ava believes she can fly. Immerse yourself in this thrilling journey across a beautiful yet hazardous skyline. Weave between giant bomb-balloons, dive into turbo-charged catapults, bounce off trampolines and launch up into the clouds. Just never touch the floor.

Defy gravity. With style.

Lovingly crafted by the multi-award winning British indie studio Laserdog, Ava Airborne lets you master the sky with anything you can find: cardboard wings, rocket-propelled boots, an old umbrella, or even a jet-fuelled trombone.

====================

TAKE TO THE SKIES: Glide Ava as far as you can without touching the floor – the further you fly, the bigger the reward!

JOIN THE ELITE: Progress Ava through fifteen levels of pilot, from the beginner’s Leaf rank to the ultra-exclusive Ace class!

BIRD BUDDIES: Get a little boost from Ava’s flying companions, from Steven the Seagull to Duckington McDuckFace!

FALLING BEAUTY: Customise your very own Ava by collecting your very own trinkets, charms and companions!
