Twistlink is a fun little match 3 style game with a twist. No pun intended. Anyways pick it up while it’s free, it’s fun especially if you like racking up big combos. I’ll publish a review if I hear some interest in it. -RNM
Where is geodefense swarm? Even the dev doesnt know quote- “Swarm still grounded… Resisting urge to reach for pitchfork..” (via @nsxdavid)
According to the geodefense devs apps that were submitted before swarm such as the new Facebook update, are out yet geodefense swarm is still stuck in the approval process. Our theory? The 40 apple employees that do the approvals don’t want to stop playing swarm! Hopefully the thousands of fans waiting patiently will have some good news soon. We will keep you posted.
Fans of baseball games shouldn’t miss this one. Power Pros is a solid game and at only $0.99 its a steal.
Considered one of the best platformers on the device, at &0.99 this is a real steal. Go get em’ fellow penny pinchers!
Gameloft’s premium platformer Castle of Magic is now just $2.99 down from $4.99. So all you penny pinchers who have had your eye on this highly rated platformer, now is your time to pounce.
Racer is a great pick up and play title that is right at home on the iPhone platform. As it’s name implies, this is a racing game where you must guide your racer through a constant onslaught of traffic for as long as possible.
Playing the game in landscape view, you have access to six lanes of traffic and must guide you car within these six lanes using the touch screen. The interface works well as your finger sits directly behind you vehicle and never really interferes with your view.
Make no mistake, this game is all about the high score. There are not multiple levels, and the games variety consists of a small handful of colors for your car. There are both online and local leaderboards. Fans of games like minigore and icopter should be right at home here.
The overall aesthetic is really nice, the graphics have a cell shaded look and run very smooth. For $0.99 I can easily recommend this game, and there is now a lite version so you can try it out first. Score: 4/5
According to the developer of the much loved geodefense, the new geodefense swarm is stuck somewhere in review land. We hope the approval goes through soon with no delays. Swarm will likely be huge. -RNM
Boxing fans can pick up Chillingo’s Touch KO this weekend for $0.99
We will keep you posted as more mentionable sales pop up this weekend.
Big Top Ten is a very polished number game with a suprising depth and challenge. Faced with a sort of grid of numbers, you are challenged to string sequences together adding up to the number ten using the touch screen. The more numbers that are in your sequence the better. Each sequence is worth points based on the sequence length. You also gain valuable time from each sequence, gaining significantly more from longer strings.
This may sound easy, but add in negative numbers, and a quickly depleting time clock, and you soon realize this game is quite a challange. A recent update added openfeint integration with chat and online leaderboards.
For those of us who enjoy number games, Big Top Ten is an excellent time sink. The replaysbility is almost infinite as there are always people better than you on the leaderboards silently taunting you to try again “just one more time…” For $0.99 this one is very easy to recommend.
