$0.99 seems to be where the action is in the App Store. A number of notable titles have dropped to $0.99 at least temporarily to boost sales and exposure. Most of the sales are temporary, so grab 'em while you can:
- Return to Mysterious Island – A nice point and click adventure from Chillingo which was originally priced at $4.99
- Galcon – A longtime favorite of ours, Galcon was one of the early iPhone games from way back in July. A real time strategy game that offers online multiplayer. Only $0.99 for a few days. Developer Phil Hassey has also posted updates to his community site and a peek at a future update.
- Radio Flare – A nice musical shooter that was originally $4.99. The latest update adds tilt control and OpenFeint 2.0 integration.
- Mecho Wars – This is Luc Bernard's turn based strategy game that was originally priced at $4.99. It's certainly worth $0.99 and more updates are on the way. See our previous review.
RTMI was definitely the best of the bunch here. Maybe I'll tell my brother about it now that it's only $0.99. Great marketing!
I've played all of the above except Radio Flare and personally, i felt –Galcon– was the best of the bunch. It's the only game I literally play every day, since the addition of online multiplayer. It's too bad I bought it when it was $10… gah. I would pay $20 though for the amount of time I have spent playing this since last year, though, so whatever, it's been worth it!
.99 + RTMI = my iPhone is FULL!
GALCON FTW !!!
best iPhone game ever !
