Happy Black Friday! Unless you have an iron will, chances are that you spent a few dollars today on at least a few of the countless deals that we’ve been covering all week. As such, you’re probably looking to save a few bucks any way you can for the rest of the month, which is why today’s list of paid apps gone free is extra vital.

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. If you download the app anyway, you will be charged by Apple.

Thinkrolls

Normally $3.99.

Set your child’s mind in motion! Thinkrolls are the 26 smart characters in this award-winning app that is part physics platformer, part logic puzzle game and 100% irresistible for kids 3-8. Get it now and let your little geniuses amaze you with their brain power and problem solving skills!
________________________________

THE MISSION

Have a blast navigating your Thinkrolls through a series of obstacles in brightly patterned mazes. The goal is to solve the puzzles and roll through the end of the maze where a new Thinkroll waits to be unlocked and lead the next quest!

HOW TO PLAY

The app offers 207 clever puzzle levels filled with fun science concepts. Seven playful elements with unique physical properties are gradually introduced. Kids will discover through hands-on manipulation how to use these objects to their advantage and clear a path.

• Cookies • Munch them to clear a path or resist those treats to avoid getting trapped!

• Crates • Push them to fill gaps or stack them to reach higher ground.

• Balloons • Burst them on spikes to get them out of your way.

• Rocks • Get a crash course in Newtonian physics by dropping heavy, dense boulders to break through cracked ground.

• Jelly • Bounce Thinkrolls and objects on springy jellies to launch them up.

• Fire • Use ice blocks to put out the fire and safely pass through.

• Elevators • Timing is added to the mix! Synchronize movements of two different elevators to navigate through the maze.

MASTER THE ART OF THINKING

Little players will master the art of thinking while using to their advantage force, acceleration, buoyancy, heat, elasticity and gravity to reach the end of the maze. The puzzles gradually build upon successive science lessons to strengthen observation, creative thinking, logic, problem solving, spatial cognition and memory.

There are unlimited tries and no penalties. Thinkrolls not only challenges the brain but also develops and rewards patience and perseverance. As kids try different combinations to achieve their goal, they intuitively learn through trial and error what works. They must think ahead, use precise timing and rely on their memory to reunite their Thinkroll buddies.
