Apple must be catching up before the July 4th holiday, because they have unleashed a massive number of app updates today.
Here are a collection of notable ones. We haven't had a chance to try them all out yet, so are relying on the developer's notes.
- Circuit Strike One ($0.99) – This zero-gravity shooter has received 19 fixes/improvements, many of which address the previously reported framerate drops and performance issues. It also allows users to individually reduce the visual effects to balance performance.
- UniWar ($0.99) – One of the best turn-based strategy games just got better with a 3-minute "Quick Play" mode for online play, map fixes, campaign mode improvements, and many other fixes/adjustments.
- Tyrian ($1.99) – Fixed the weapon upgrade issue found in the first version.
- Isotope ($2.99) – 3.0 fixes that allow the game to run smoothly again in the latest iPhone update as well as a number of fixes and features.
- Doodle Jump ($0.99) – Bug fixes, performance optimizations, and… a Jet Pack!
- Sparta ($0.99) – The 1.3 update adds a new shop system to allow you to buy new weapons, armor and health potions.
- Must.Eat.Birds. ($0.99) – Fixed the stability/crashing bug that several people had reported.
I just checked and I have 12 updates!
15 updates. I win.
I had 96 updates. Anyway, I would say Mega Man II deserves mention. I was not expecting to ever see an update. Capcom proved me wrong and really improved the experience.
Wow , my 6 updates was pathetic! I wonder why apple suddenly approved everything? Did try finally sit down to go through everything? Or have they been trying, but finally said "to hell with it!" and just released the updates without review? Then again, who cares, my favorite apps got updated!
11!!!!!!
26 updates. WTF
100+ Update…WTF!?
You've got that much apps? ..
Has anybody beat Zenobia yet? That's the only thing I'm playin' and the update a few days ago was great.
finally, lots of stuff fixed woo!
sadly out of all the updates i really would have liked, nanofighter was not among them lol bah
iTunes wont show my updates since i download paid games from Appulo.us
Will wait for it to show there
Tons of updates!
Besiegement, UniWar, Safe Cracker, iShoot, Speed Fiend, iSpades, Paper Toss, Sentinel, ATC 4.0, Dapple, etc
Whew!
Wow! I had 4 updates, then as it was downloading it jumped up to 8. So I had to download and re-sync. Then I checked again as I was shutting down for the night and had another 11?! Holy smokes!! My son (7 1/2) is happy that Space Monkey is finally working again.
18 updates… and I can only get 9 of them since 3.0 broke WiFi! I must be patient until I can get to my Mac.
I had around 20 updates. I kept having to click the update button yesterday because it would fail at connecting every time.
Just two updates for me … and STILL no PuzzleQuest Update. Apple can't be serious …
There also is PewPew =)
107 updates .. do I win? :p I do love updates.
Guess it's time for me to try this OS 3.0 thing.
PuzzleQuest has finally been updated. Woohoo
