Your kingdom is under enemy attack and your princess is in danger in this tower defense game for your Android device. Protect your kingdom and hold your castle by using a variety of upgradable weapons, skills, troops, and towers.

Build Your DefenseIt takes a mighty finger, tactical strategy, and accuracy to protect your fortress. You've got four main objectives during battle: Kill the enemy, collect money, take prisoners, and protect the health of your castle.

The War Store Amazon app of the day is Cartoon Defence.

The start of each game provides your weapon and tower choices. Check the cost, figure out what you need, and prepare for your battle.

The BattleThe battle begins in the open field in front of your castle. As the enemy charges, defend with all your might. Be precise with your shot because accuracy matters. A shotgun is powerful but only if you can hit the target. Along the bottom of the screen find the weapons, skills, and items available to you already purchased prior to the battle. When you're ready to use one, drag it from the menu.

Enemy troops who reach the castle will hack away at it until it begins to crumble. It's imperative that you do all you can to prevent this. The health of your castle is displayed by the bar in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Additionally, across the top of your screen you'll find your prisoner count and currency collected.

The Prisoners Capture the enemy by first spotting a fallen soldier on the field with bound hands. Quickly abandon your killing duty to drag the enemy to the prison. Turn captured enemies into an archer or soldier for your next battle. The game will offer strategy advice if you're having a tough time beating a level.

Levels and Game ModesCartoon Defense offers 8 kinds of weapons, 17 characters, unlimited levels, and 3 difficulty modes. Music is fun and motivating and blood is moderate; both can be turned off. Your game is always auto-saved, so you have the option to return where you left off, or start a new game.

Amazon have a free game for us all today. Raptor Rage from Custard Square is an exclusive launch for Android for Amazon Appstore!

Imagine the dismay when Ricky the Raptor and his other dino-friends found their pleasant, barbaric existence interrupted by civilized farmers and their buffoonish animals. Take over the farm in this animated, arcade-style shooting game for your Android device.

An Act of the Ultimate Prehistoric RevengeRicky the Raptor invades the farm that so inconsiderately destroyed the lush forest he once called home--and he's armed and dangerous.

Ill-tempered and over-fed, these fat and unhappy farm animals bounce around the screen trying to squash Ricky and his gun. Swipe your finger across the screen to dodge the bouncing beasts and tap the screen to shoot them.

A Farm Full of KillaGorillasWhat's more dangerous than a gun-toting dinosaur? How about a single KillaGorilla that mutates into two KillaGorillas when shot, and then three, and then-oh no-four! It gets harder before it gets easier. Shoot the gigantic animal leader and it splits into two slightly smaller versions. Shoot one of those and it may turn into two even more slightly smaller versions. Fire away until they've diminished into their smallest, weakest form.

These aren't your typical farm animals. They are lead by six tyrannical animal leaders that you must destroy: Raging Bull, Black Sheep, Blu-Ba-Boon, KillaGorilla, Top Croc, and finally the mighty Swamp Lord.

Conquering Civilization One Level at a TimeDinosaurs can't just march into civilization and think they can rule the roost. Ricky the Raptor must progress through three worlds, each with 20 levels and one seriously tough farm animal to defeat. And don't rest too early; more level packs are coming soon.

Join the Dinosaur Revolution Raptor Rage supports OpenFeint so submit your high scores to the leaderboards, earn achievements, and join other players worldwide fighting for Ricky.

Disclaimer: No farm animals are harmed during the playing of this game. They don't feel a thing. There's not even any blood. It's fun and appropriate for everyone!

Free app of the day from Amazon is Rush Hour by ThinkFun.

It has a simple puzzle premise but after a few easy stages, it eventually develops into a devlishly difficult challenge.

Most of the time, rush hour is--to say the least--no fun for all involved. But not when you're talking about Rush Hour, the classic puzzle game that has gone from an awkward plastic board to awesome digital app in this incredibly addicting game for Android.

The concept couldn't be simpler. You are the red car. A rainbow-hued variety of automobiles block your path to the exit. Honking your horn won't help. You're going to have to figure out how to slide the cars around in such a way as to clear your path. (No, smashing into them is not an option.)

Road RageThe first few rounds on the Easy setting are like a drive in the country, with just a few cars in sight. Move up to the Medium setting and the traffic starts to get a little thicker. By the time you reach the Hard and Expert levels, the board looks like a driver's worst nightmare.

As impossible as those levels seem, however, there really is a solution for each one--you just might have to spend three hours trying to find it. If you get frustrated, you can take advantage of the Hints button or the Solve option. No sense blowing a gasket.

Changing LanesNeed a bigger challenge? A number at the top of the screen shows the absolute minimum amount of moves required to get you out of the jam for that round. So you have two options: Keep playing the same round, shooting for perfection, or just be happy to escape with your sanity intact and move on to the next puzzle.

This is the perfect game to have on your Android device if you ever get stuck on a desert island (hopefully with a solar-powered charger). It includes a mind-boggling 625 puzzles at each level. That's right, a whopping total of 2,500 challenges in all. If you thought getting through your daily commute was hard, it will seem like an open road compared to beating the traffic in Rush Hour.

Today's free app of the day from Amazon is Gem Spinner 2 by Tiny Bite Games.

Spin Your Way Around the WorldReady to go on a treasure hunt? Gem Spinner II: Water Quest is the sequel to the hit puzzle game, offering a twist on the traditional "match three" game play. You're a globe-trotting archaeologist trying to restore gems taken from priceless artifacts. How do you do this? Puzzle boards, of course!

Each board contains colored gems encased in pieces of different shapes and sizes. Switch adjacent gems within a piece to line up three or more in a row. They'll vanish and be replaced by more gems. Make as many gem matches as you can to reach a high score on each level.

Piece de Resistance

The twist to Gem Spinner II's game play lies in those pieces. You can move the pieces around and rotate them to make for matches that aren't otherwise possible. That new flexibility is what makes this game special.

But they'll also add complexity to your strategy. Each time you make a gem match, that part of a piece goes dark. If the entire piece is dark, it vanishes completely. Clear away the smaller pieces too early, and you'll be stuck for matches to get rid of the big ones. You'll have to plan your matches carefully to get ahead.

Those pesky suns limit your ability to move pieces.

Here Comes the Sun... Unfortunately.

But that planning had better be quick, because you're working under a time limit. Take too long, and nasty suns appear to block piece movement and mess up your carefully laid plans.

Fortunately, you can also earn sparkling gems that add ultra-flexible one-cell pieces to the board. You can also use Casual Mode, which turns off the time limit for a more relaxing experience.

Playing Tourist

There are puzzle boards waiting for you all around the world, from the jungles of Central America to the shores of the Caribbean. Complete all levels at one destination to unlock the next. Fifty levels across five locations, all accompanied by beautiful background graphics, will keep up interest for a long time to come.

Earn as many stars as you can on each level, and shoot for that elusive and difficult Perfect award. There are even challenging puzzle levels with set gems and goals that'll really test your mettle!

So what are you waiting for? Those gems aren't going to be matching themselves!

Amazon's free app today is Seven Stars 3D by Ideal Dimension Technology Co, Ltd.

Once upon an ancient time, an evil monster stole the Big Dipper and human beings could no longer rely on these stars to guide them through the darkness of night.

Your MissionYour task is to find and restore the Big Dipper to its rightful place in the sky by liberating seven stars from the monster's seven mazes. Tap through the gate to begin your journey toward the galaxies, twinkling and shooting stars, deep space, and mazes that wait beyond.

Maneuver the ball through the monster's complex stone mazes using tilt control. You'll need fine motor control and laser-like focus to master this real-time physics game. Watch for bamboo passages, precarious platforms, wooden blocks, rounded bridges, and other amazing features that could either help or hinder your progress. If you gain too much speed or miss a turn, you'll find yourself spinning off into space.

You start with three lives. Pass through the galaxy icons that lie in your path to earn additional lives and time. Tap the yin-yang symbol to get a better view angle of your path. Although the way is long and difficult, original Chinese music, sound effects, and gorgeous 3D graphics provide soothing antidotes to the stress of your mission.

You can also aim for OpenFeint global leaderboards and achievements while pursuing the glory of defeating evil monsters and restoring stars to the sky. Accept the mission, venture into deep space, and retrieve the seven stars.

Features include:

• OpenGL ES 3D graphics
• Chinese art style

Amazon free app of the day today is Let's Bowl Deluxe by SideBump Studios.

Not enough time (or cash) to hit the lanes? No problem. With Let's Bowl Deluxe for Android, you can get a game or two of bowling in any time you want. This alley never closes.

Note: A Wi-Fi connection is highly recommended to download this application.

Cool Balls, Funky AlleysStep right up to the line--no need to wait for a lane to open up. You'll start off with a single bowling alley and a basic ball, but the more you play, the more cool features you get. This Deluxe version of the game has three bowling alleys and six ball styles that you can unlock as you go.

Just like in real bowling, with this game it's all in the wrist. Well, actually, in the finger. Line up your shot by dragging the ball to the left or right, then simply flick it forward. A slow flick will produce a granny-style roll, but a fast flick will make you look like a PBA player. But--again, just as with the real thing--the harder you "throw" the ball, the more likely you are to produce a wild shot. No bumpers here: gutter balls can definitely happen! Remember that practice makes perfect.

What's the Score?Don't worry about entering names or scores into your device; Let's Bowl Deluxe does all the work for you. You'll see your score change instantly at the top of the screen after every ball. Spares and strikes are calculated automatically. There's a high-score board, 18 achievements to collect on OpenFeint (First Strike, Spare Me, 200 the Hard Way, etc.), and links that allow you to brag about your game on Facebook and Twitter. (We won't tell anybody about that 60 you rolled earlier.)

The Sweet Sound of Pins FallingThe crisp graphics, detailed physics of the pins, and authentic sounds all make this the most realistic bowling app you'll find for your Android device. So what are you waiting for, Dude? Time to pile up some strikes and pick up those 7-10 splits with Let's Bowl Deluxe.
