Threes! tops Qi’s iPhone game chart for February with a clever new take on the number puzzler. The idea here is to match up numbered cards on an increasingly cramped game grid. At #2 this month is Out There, which couldn’t be much more different from Threes! if it tried. Developer Mi-Clos Studio’s game is a melancholic sci-fi adventure built on hundreds of life-or-death decisions. Just behind that is Final Fantasy VI, perhaps the most hotly anticipated series conversion yet. There’s been a little consternation over its new 2D visuals, but there’s no disguising the JRPG magic underneath. Finally, Eliss Infinity supplies more challenging and inventive multi-touch puzzles.
Kids Math Count Number Game might be a bit of a mouthful, sure, but it’s yet another successful educational app for kids. It sits atop the iPhone Qi app chart for February, you see. At #4, Wealthy! is an altogether more grown-up app. It’s an expenses tool that uses social networks as inspiration for its outgoings timeline. Gro Garden, meanwhile, is another kids’ app. This time, it’s teaching children all about the joys and benefits of organic gardening, with a stunning art style and an intuitive interface. Finally, Layered supplies an especially cool way to add animated text, stickers, music, and more to your pictures and videos. It promises to give your social network sharing efforts a massive shot in the arm.
