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. If you click on a link and see a price listed next to an app instead of the word “get,” it is no longer free. The sale has ended.

No matter, what you’re doing, there are times where you just want to take a short break. With Circles!, you get a selection of four fun & easy to use minigames right at your fingertips. Select the ideal game for your situation and challenge your friends on who can get the best score.

********************
GAME OVERVIEW
********************

Push!
**********
Within ten seconds, you just have to push a simple button as often as possible. What sounds quite easy, gets more challenging the more you play it in reality. Can you climb just to #1 of the global leaderboard?

Catch!
**********
Same rules go for Catch! as they go for Push! So, what’s the difference then? Well, not only is the button now dramatically smaller, but it also moves it unpredictably. Whereas playing Push! you are challenged to push as fast as you can, playing Catch!, you also have to prove good reaction abilities.

Hold!
**********
As the same suggests, the Hold! minigame is just about holding the button as long as possible. To keep being motivated, an info label is updated regularly out of a database with > 100 custom slogans. Can you reach the 1 hour milestone?

Track!
**********
While the basic rules are the same for Track! as they are for Hold!, it’s quite harder to play: The button constantly moves and you should try not to lose it. Ultimately getting even faster, Track! is a game that’s challenging forever – the sky is the limit!
