Shards - the brickbreaker is the 9/3 app.

Shards is a modern and revolutionary approach to the classic brick breaking game. Each of the 60 levels has its own fractal background, uniquely arranged as well as arbitrary scaled and rotated glass bricks for you to destroy. Enjoy various power-ups and a great original soundtrack.

For some reason I get a black screen when I open the AppStore app. But this looks like a good one for brick breaking fans. 4 1/2 stars on both Amazon and Google Play.

Anyone on the AppStore last night saw that they slipped an extra FAOTD in on us, Fall Solitaire.

Mahjong Sports is the 9/6 app.

Mahjong Sports has 50+ varied layouts and has been designed to provide an appealing but challenging experience for the user. The user interface is clean and easy to use and, with a choice of tile-sets and the inclusion of high resolution backgrounds, the game is visually stunning.

Oh look, a Mahjong game!

Castle Doombad is the 9/9 app.

Dr. Lord Evilstein has kidnapped a princess, and now his evil lair is crawling with do-gooders. In this reverse spin on tower defense it’s your job to defend your home turf from heroes trying to save the day. View your domain from a side-view perspective, placing traps and unleash minions on your unwitting foes to protect the fortress. Touch and drag up and down on the tower to navigate floors. Across three chapters and 45 levels you’ll outwit intruders that attempt to invade your castle from all sides—ladders allowing them entrance on higher floors, underground drills to start on dungeon floors closer to your fair maiden. Keep the princess safely in your clutches and send those heroes cryin’ back to momma.

In-App Purchases in a paid app. Spyware. Crude language by the developers (according a to reviews). Definitely not a kid's game. I downloaded it thinking it might be a platformer, but when it came time to install it, I cancelled.
