Releases seem to come in cycles in the App Store, and this week, a number of Lite versions have been released. Here are a few games we've covered in the past. If you passed on them before, here's your chance to try them out. (Titles link directly to App Store)
Lights Off (Free) – This game is a simple (yet potentially frustrating) puzzler in which a tap on the screen will toggle the surrounding lights. The goal for each level is to turn off all the lights. There are 212 levels in the full version.
Rasta Monkey Lite – The game is a 2D platformer in which you play a Rastafarian monkey. Your job is to swing through the branches to collect fruit and navigate obstacles. The Lite version contains the first 3 levels of the game.
Big Fun Racing Lite – a stunt racer that requires you to collect coins while navigating ramps and obstacles. The lite version appears to contain 8 tracks, while the full version has 50. Controls take some getting used to.
I would have avoided Rasta Monkey if there had been a lite version.. that may actually HURT sales!
There is a lights out clone with better graphics, IMO, http://sites.google.com/a/clomputing.com/iphone/ Not free though.
There are actually nineteen [!] clones of Lights Out available in the app store, see: http://puzzlingiphone.wordpress.com/2009/01/17/lights-out-not-straighforwardly-sequential-removal/
