Little did we know when we started this site, that sales and price drops would be such a frequent announcement.
As the number of iPhone apps games increase, sales are a common way to boost sales and get more attention. Here are a few notable sales from the past 24 hours.
Amnesia ($0.99 -> Free) - A basic Simon game that normally sells for $0.99. It’s dropped to Free for one week. It’s a simple memory game, but there is no high score so play it for your own self satisfaction.
Space Monkey ($1.99 -> Free) - a well reviewed iPhone game in which you control a space monkey who is grabbing objects and dodging space junk. This game normally costs $1.99, but is free for a limited time. Grab it while you can.
Blue Skies ($5.99 -> $1.99) - a great 2d scrolling shooter that we reviewed. The game is popular amongst our readers and is on sale for $1.99 (normally $5.99) this weekend.
Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? ($7.99 -> $1.99) - this television game-show inspired game has seen a big drop from $7.99 to $1.99 for a limited time.
Take advantage of them while you can. In the meanwhile, we’ve updated our newest iPhone games list to also reflect recent price drops.

Space Monkey actually seems pretty fun. Definitely worth downloading for free!

I dont know. I remember seeing it when the appstore launched and the art and production value looked great but I never got it. I did this morning and although the production value is really great the gameplay is just not exciting at all.

This headline was a bit misleading, Arn… I got worried that someone was trying to sell an actual 5th grader. ; )

wow, glad i waited for space monkey, i wanted to download it when it was released, and then wanted to buy it for 1.99 (when the price dropped). and now i got it for free and gosh, the game is so dull, i thought it was more fun than it actually looks…
