  • Best of Solitaire ($3.99)

Best of Solitaire features 101 variants of the Single-Player card game that brings endless challenge, all while being immensely relaxing. Including variations like Klondike, Yukon, Pyramid and Freecell, each game has on-screen instructions, meaning you are be able to learn brand new variants you’ve probably never heard of as of now.

 

  • Maze ($2.99)

Ever wondered what it’s like to be lost in a maze? Well, developers TreeFall Studios and Eli Brewer take this idea and apply in their brand new First-Person Adventure title Maze. While trying to know all the Oracles, you have to collect coins, dodge traps and enemies, and, most importantly, escape from the mind-bending labyrinths. It also features a Multiplayer mode where you and a friend can race to see who reaches the end of the maze first.

 

  • Painting Workshop ($4.99)

Painting Workshop is a great digital crafting tool for all you artists out there. Not only does it have a variety of palettes, layers, colors and styles, but it also includes lessons about the tools at your disposal within the software to have you make the best use of them. You can also save you creations to the 3DS’ SD card when you are done as well.

  • Chariot ($14.99)

In Chariot, you play as a Princess and her fiancé who must go on a thrilling adventure into the surface below to find the right tomb for their deceased king. The only thing is; they must drag the coffin with them into loot-filled caves by taking advantage of the crazy physics that come with carrying the funeral wagon. Chariot is mostly designed as a couch co-op Platformer, but you can also play it on your own as well. We thought it was awesome.
