By Wednesday night, I was hooked. "Ballz" — from Ketchapp Games, the controversial company behind "2048" and countless other mobile games — has a lot going for it. It's simple, easy to master, and gets better as you play. Oh, and it's also totally free. You can play it on either iPhone or iPad.

Also, once the ball floats back down to the ground, all the tiles move down a step. If any tile reaches the bottom of the screen, the game is over. You start the game with just one ball, but you collect and accumulate more balls throughout the game, which helps break blocks with high numbers.
