Get ready for the hit game of the summer! Don't just take our word for it here is what the Critics think: "Gravity Runner’s retro graphics combined with the smooth gameplay, and the gravity-switching novelty, makes it extremely entertaining to play. The app’s developer (We Are Colin) has done a great job." - App Advice "We have been lucky enough to be among the few who got to review it early and I’ve had a hard time putting it down." - The Portable Gamer "Gravity Runner has stepped up the bar for past and future platformers and it is a game that anyone, from any age and era, can definitely enjoy." - Touch Gen - 4/5 "Gravity Runner takes retro runners to a whole new frustratingly addictive level" - Touch Aholics "This game is a perfect example of how you can turn a good game (like Canabalt) and make it super awesome!" - ExtraLives.tv At such a small price, why wouldn't you try it out!? ------------- GRAVITY RUNNER ------------- Take control of Colin as he automatically runs through levels filled with pitfalls and spikes. Tap the screen to make Colin jump over obstacles in his world. But this alone won’t keep him alive. If you tap the screen while Colin is in mid-air, gravity will be flipped! Master this gravity flipping ability to help Colin jump, glide and evade all obstacles placed in his path. Gravity Runner not only plays fantastic, but looks and sounds great too.

Osmos

Platform: iOS
August 5, 2010
*** Osmos is 66% off for a limited time!! *** Experience the awesomeness Apple named "iPhone App of the Week," GameAndPlayer called "a work of genius," and IGN chose as the #1 overall iPhone game! Osmos is part physics-based eat-'em-up, part ambient, cosmic simulator, and part Darwinistic game of survival. This award-winning PC game has been fully redesigned for the iPhone, featuring full Retina Display support, fluid multitouch controls, lush, flowing visuals, and a chill, ambient electronic soundtrack. Some describe Osmos as "Asteroids meets a lava-lamp," others as "Katamari meets Lunar Lander," but all have said it's a game you must experience to appreciate. Your goal is to grow by absorbing smaller motes, but to propel yourself you must eject matter behind you, causing you to shrink. From this fundamental balance, Osmos leads the player through ambient playgrounds, deep solar systems, competitive petri dishes, dense mote-fields, and more. Features: - Multitouch awesomeness: pinch to zoom, tap to eject mass, flick to warp time... - Two game modes: Odyssey and Arcade. Odyssey mode is a 27-level guided tour through the Osmos Blobiverse, while Arcade mode allows you to play any level type at your choice of difficulty. (72 levels total.) - Dynamic time-warping: slow down the flow of time to outmaneuver agile opponents; speed it up to raise the challenge - Eight Distinct level types: Ambient, Antimatter, Solar, Sentient, Impasse, Warped Chaos, Epicycles, and Repulsor. - Sublime electronic soundtrack by Loscil, Gas/High Skies, Julien Neto, Biosphere, and more. - Wind your way through simple and complex solar systems; feel and use the force of Attractors and Repulsors. - Intelligent AI: confront opponents with distinct personalities, goals and abilities similar to your own. - Procedural content: play random versions of any level in Arcade mode. - Thirteen lucky achievements to earn, with OpenFeint integration. Accolades:* - Nominated for 4 IGF awards. - Winner of the D2D Vision award and IGN's Editor's Choice award. - Winner of "Best in Show" and "Fun/Compelling" at IndieCade. - Selected for the PAX 10, Spike VGAs, and more. Reviews: 9/10, Editor’s Choice, “Magnificent. It’s hard to pinpoint a favorite feature. The clever gameplay? The atmosphere? The variety of stages? The art direction? It all comes together to make one of the best iPhone games of 2010.” -IGN 4.5/5 stars - “Whether you’re a veteran of the desktop version or a first-timer, Osmos should absolutely be your next iPhone purchase. This is an outstanding adaptation of an outstanding game. Buy it.” -Gamezebo “This is one of those games that must really be experienced by everyone, and can now be enjoyed by iPad and iPhone owners alike.” -Touch Arcade 4.5/5 - "Osmos is as close to gaming perfection in its genre that I’ve ever played. Stunningly beautiful, Simple and engaging gameplay, Engrossing music." -Touch Reviews 5/5 - “A dreamy cosmic survival game.” -AppSmile A - "One of the most unique and interesting games in the App Store, with graphics, music, and gameplay that all merit a high recommendation.” -iLounge 4/4, Must Have - “Remember Spore, the Will Wright creation...? Osmos is the game Wright probably meant to create: It’s quiet, thoughtful, and somehow profound... Osmos thoroughly draws you into its world with a space-age soundtrack, multitouch controls that feel practically invisible, and a visual aesthetic that lies somewhere between a Nova documentary and a lava lamp. It is a cerebral, mood-altering game. Turn down the lights, plug in some headphones, and let yourself get drawn in, it’s an unforgettable gaming experience.” -Slide To Play Happy Osmoting! *Refers to original PC/Mac version

The most innovative 3D tower defense game of the year! Defend the town of UnDeadwood in this hilarious slapstick horror game with a western twist. As the new Sheriff in charge of defending the town, hire a wild posse of Cowboys and Cowgirls for your fight against the undead hordes. Upgrade and reposition them to defend against wave after wave of zombies who are hell bent on destroying the town. Unlike most tower defense games, you need to protect your cowboys from attack by positioning them on rooftops. However, the Zombies destroy the buildings, diminishing the safe places you can choose to place Cowboys on. You will have to choose when to repair a building and when to abandon a building and fall back to a better position. If the zombies destroy all of buildings, they will come after the Sheriff and you lose. Meet the Posse: Pistol Packin Cowboys - these young, dumb, sons-of-guns are your basic gun for hire. A good base unit with great upgrades to both speed and damage. Shotgun Shootin Cowboys - the Shotgun Shooters are older and wiser than their Pistol Packin brethren, and a little more ornery too. Shotgun Shootin Cowboys can blast multiple zombies at once. The Prospector - this crazy old coot has spent far too much time underground packin dirt in his ears. He can be a little reckless - tossing sticks of lit dyn-o-mite into a crowd of zombies - but he sure does get the job done. Fannie Smokely - the sharpest sharpshooter in Wild Ol Bill's Wildest of Wild West Shows! Fannie Smokely can shoot the stink off a dog at 800 yards with her trusty huntin' rifle Sally May. Features: - Hire more cowboys, upgrade their guns, or repair the damaged buildings you are defending - each decision will have lasting effects on your strategy! - Progress through colorful game areas, going from "A Fistful of Zombies", through "Little Zombies on the Prairie" and up to "The Great Brain Robbery" in your quest to cleanse UnDeadwood of the zombie menace! - 2 unique views! Rotate the phone for either a top-down view of the action, or the cinematic street view! We love this game and are really excited about getting it out there for you to play. We've got lots more content we plan to roll out as soon as we get'er done. We are already working hard on the next update and look forward to hearing your feedback. Send a note to our support link.

Players engage in nonstop shooter action as they're propelled through this on-rails game. Isa and Kachi are being hunted. They go on the run and on the defensive. And they shoot everything. Sin & Punishment 2 is the long-awaited sequel to the Japanese Nintendo 64 cult-classic shooter. It brings a frantic arcade sensibility to a post-apocalyptic world. Players can run on foot or take to the skies with a jetpack or hovering skateboard-like device to dodge enemy attacks or get a better lock on their targets. Players can fire at targets in the distance or switch to sword attacks for close-range targets. The Wii Remote controller's pointing ability is used to aim weapons, while the Nunchuk controller is used for positioning and maneuvering. Numerous beautifully rendered settings include gorgeous cityscapes and dramatic underwater tunnels, all populated by fierce enemies. It's all about the multiplier. The better a player's skills, the more points are earned, and the bigger the bonus. Players will want to play the game again and again to beat their personal best on each level. The better the performance, the bigger the multiplier and the higher the final score. [Nintendo]
