Universal:

Polyphonic! ($0.99 → Free, 72.4 MB): Make your own music by lighting up colored squares with Polyphonic. It can be used to inspire, fall asleep, create music to exercise to, and just about anything else you can imagine.

Polyphonic’s interface is dead simple, allowing even non-musicians to create fantastic musical loops. Just tap a colored square to light it up and hit play. You’ll see the progress bar at the bottom of the screen start to move, and when it hits the end it will start over again. Each square is a sound of its own, and each different color is a group of sounds, so just tap more squares to add complexity to your loop. Everything you create can be recorded and shared via SoundCloud, Facebook, Twitter, Messages, or Mail. Polyphonic includes two sound worlds to utilize, with three more available via in-app purchase.
Polyphonic! is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 255 ratings.

Tower of Fortune 2 ($0.99 → Free, 25.1 MB): Reach the summit of the legendary second tower to claim your wish in this sequel to the hit retro-style RPG, Tower of Fortune. It’s obviously ideal for those who enjoyed the original game or for those who generally enjoy RPGs.

Like the original, Tower of Fortune 2 employs a neat slot machine mechanic for battling opponents. Tap the button to spin the reels and tap again to stop them in hopes of dealing damage, collecting gold, or obtaining a special item. You’re able to stop the reels mid spin as well to perform a combo or avoid an attack, but it will cost you additional gold. The game includes nine worlds to explore, seven mini-games, 50 challenging events, more than 60 unique enemies, 50 random abilities, 24 NPCs, and achievements via Game Center.
Tower of Fortune 2 is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 901 ratings.

[the Sequence] ($0.99 → Free, 40.7 MB): Transfer binary cells by building the proper sequence in The Sequence. Puzzle game fans of all types will enjoy this one.

The Sequence takes a rather creative approach to a tired genre. The object of the game is to get the binary cells transferred into their nodes using various modules. Modules can push and pull binary cells along with other modules. But that’s only the half of it. Not only must you properly determine where to place each module, you must also figure out the correct order in which they must operate. It’s quite the challenge. The game includes 72 levels along with a sandbox mode to play around with.
[the Sequence] is available for free today only (02/26). It has a 5-star rating with a total of 120 ratings.

Toca Hair Salon Me ($2.99 → Free, 75.1 MB): Give you and your friends a totally new look with Toca Hair Salon Me. It’s for anyone who wants to a have a ton of hair-raising fun.

Like all of Toca Boca’s other apps, Toca Hair Salon Me is highly interactive. You must first either choose a headshot from your library or take a new one. Your face will then be placed within the app along with a funky hairdo. You can then lather, rinse, color, straighten, curl, cut, crimp, comb, shave, and even grow your hair longer. The possibilities are nearly endless!
