This post covers paid iPhone and iPad apps that have been made available for free for a limited time by their developers. BGR is not affiliated with any developers. There is no way to tell how long they will be free. These sales could end an hour from now or a week from now — obviously, the only thing we can guarantee is that they were free at the time this post was written.

The “boards” you play in Connectrode are randomly generated – you’ll never run out of new challenges. Post your score on a board to Twitter or Facebook, and friends can use your link to play the very same board – they may even beat your score and send a challenge back to you!

Connectrode features a gorgeous ambient soundtrack by David Pencil (known for his soundtracks for Penny Arcade: The Series on PATV). This game was developed completely independently by a small team in Austin, Texas.
