‘Tis the season for App Store freebies, fa la la la la, la la la la. Or something. Tonight’s freebies are a solid adventure game, and a really weird adaptation of a board/puzzle game that you totally wouldn’t think would work when you make an app out of it… But it totally does.

Jenga (Free) was among the games that put NaturalMotion on the map. They’re a company all about physics simulations and games that look good, so combine those two things and you get Jenga, I guess. Either way, as mentioned, it’s weird how well it works. I was incredibly skeptical when I first heard it was coming, as Jenga is a game meant to be played with friends and wooden blocks. You’d think something would get lost, but it doesn’t. Seriously, give it a shot.

The Journey Down is one of the many adventure games on the App Store that knocked our socks off. Chapter 1 ($4.99) is free right now, and if you love it as much as we did (You will.) be sure to check out Chapter 2 ($6.99). We reviewed it when it was first released, and you can check out that review if you want more details on the game. I’m of the opinion these adventure games are better the less you know about them, so I say give it a shot for free anyway and see what you think.

For more freebies, check out our sister site AppShopper. If you want to get extra fancy, use IFTTT (Free) with the AppShopper freebies RSS feed for push alerts on your phone whenever something goes free. It’s super handy, although it does make your phone buzz a lot. (But, for a free game, is that a bad thing?)
