Throughout December, we've been counting down the days until Christmas with a special advent calendar that recommends one free game a day.

But as we close in on Christmas we want to step it up a notch. So, we've been working with the developers behind Pocket Gamer's favourite, top-rated games of 2014 to make an awesome iOS game go free for 24 hours, every day for two weeks.

That's ten premium iPhone and iPad games we highly recommend, that you can get for nothing. Just check back in to Pocket Gamer every week day from December 8th to December 19th to get your new gift.

We want to thank every developer who generously agreed to be part of this bonkers promotion. Just remember to recommend their app to your friends if they unwrap a smartphone or tablet later this month!

Day 1: Shadow Blade
Day 2: Hoplite
Day 3: Doug dug
Day 4: The Nightmare Cooperative
Day 5: The Journey Down: Chapter One

    Not every day but every weekday, so 10 games in total instead of 14.

    • tightarse on 09/12/2014 - 10:53

      Cheers alvian. Title corrected.

        Thanks TA for your tireless and freakish skill in bargain hunting. All I could offer in return are minor corrections.

    Cool. Thanks TA.

    Do we think Apple is going to have a similar giveaway thing as they did last year? I think it had an app that would offer you a free movie, song, or game for 12 days of Xmas. One of the gifts was Home Alone, if I recall correctly.

  • sween64 on 09/12/2014 - 11:55

    Thanks TA, you really do fine the best freebies.

    Thanks TA.

    Tuesday it's HOPLITE

    https://itunes.apple.com/app/id782438457

    The game almost plays like a grid-based puzzler. You're the titular Hoplite, and need to work your way through 16 levels of procedurally generated dungeon to snatch an enchanted fleece. Then get back out again.

    That's much easier said than done when every slice of the dungeon is populated with monsters and foes that want to bash your brains in.

    You need to consider each of your moves carefully. Do you jump, spending some energy, and whomp that archer, or try and avoid its arrows and take out another soldier instead?

    However I could only download free via my US account. (2.99 Australian iTunes) as I missed the midnight deadline here in Oz

    My guess is that there is a window that starts at the UK day start, when they publish the link so we know which program to download, and the end of day here in Oz to download from the Australian store.

    i.e. 11 am to Midnight

    • sween64 on 10/12/2014 - 08:06

      Yeah not free on the Australian store.

  • Xebozone on 10/12/2014 - 07:57

    Damn! Seconds too slow for the first deal! :(

    to be clear: they're free in the Canada/US but not Australian App Store

      Shadow Blade was free on the Australian store.

  • [Deactivated] on 10/12/2014 - 21:09

    Hop lite is not free.

    Day 3: Doug dug. Free on iTunes Aus & US at time of writing.

    • tightarse on 10/12/2014 - 23:11

      Thanks alvian. Post updated.

    • sween64 on 11/12/2014 - 08:04

      Damn it not free anymore. Was it free for an hour in Australia?

      • alvian on 11/12/2014 - 12:49

        Sorry, I do not know when it reverted to a pay app in iTunes Aus. I suggest we check the pocketgamer deal link at 10pm, 11pm and 12am tonight to confirm. I spotted the Doug dug announcement at 11pm yesterday and it was free on iTunes Aus.

    Not getting a lot of luck with free apps on the Aussie app store :(

    Day 4
    THE NIGHTMARE COOPERATIVE

    http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/iPhone/Pocket+Gamer+Advent+Ca…

    Not sure what time this was posted but checked at 9:20pm

    • sween64 on 12/12/2014 - 00:16

      Still free on the Australian store at the moment.

      • alvian on 12/12/2014 - 02:19

        Still free on iTunes Aus at 2:20am. There is no logic to this. I am going to sleep to meet the Nightmare Cooperative. Goodnight.

  • Thiefsie on 12/12/2014 - 11:49

    hmmmm bit frustrating this - can't get nightmare any more and it's the only one I've wanted so far

    • RockyRaccoon on 12/12/2014 - 12:11

      Get a US account - its easy just Google it, or search here

    • sween64 on 13/12/2014 - 08:55

      And still free!

      • Xebozone on 13/12/2014 - 10:42

        Yes, the first one I actually got. Screenshots remind me of Grim Fandango.

    • RockyRaccoon on 14/12/2014 - 08:22

      Is this one of their free games as the next deal is not due until the 15th and this doesnt show on the links?

      • Xebozone on 16/12/2014 - 09:11

        My mistake… I saw it posted on their website for that day, and assumed that it was part of the same set of deals

  • alvian on 15/12/2014 - 23:14

    Day 6: Detective Grimoire. Confirmed free on iTunes Aus 11:15pm.

    • sween64 on 16/12/2014 - 08:30

      Not any more. It says free for 24 hours in the description which wouldn't have been the case in Australia.

    Day 7: Card City Nights is currently free on be Aus App Store.

  • alvian on 17/12/2014 - 22:33

    Which day is it now? Even Pocket Gamer has lost track (calls it #7). Day 8 is Skullduggery!

    • sween64 on 18/12/2014 - 08:05

      Back to $6.49.
