Apple's free app of the week is hocus

Every week, Apple takes a paid app and offers it for free. Last week's app was Power Hover. This week's free app is a game called hocus. In Russia, it was voted one of the "Best of 2015" in the App Store. The game is a "polished, mind-bending, minimal puzzle game with dozens of levels and extra-ordinary design." You can create and share your own levels in addition to playing the ones that come with the game. 85 new levels are on the way.

With the game, your task is to move a red cube along a series of gray beams. The puzzle gets more complex as you progress from level to level. The current version of the app has snared a 4.5 rating, so you might find hocus to be entertaining and addictive. Normally 99 cents, for the next week the game won't cost you a dime although in-app purchases are available.
