A couple of new Lite (free) versions of games have appeared in the App Store.
SolarQuest Lite [App Store] is a rather anemic one level version of SolarQuest. Regardless, the demo does provide you a feel for the gameplay for the full $2.99 version [App Store].
While we reviewed an early version of SolarQuest which played like a version of Snake, the developer has revamped the control system now making it an accelerometer based scroller.
The objective of the game remains simply dodging obstacles while pickup up bonus items.
Meanwhile, Simiotica has released a free Lite version of aMaze! [App Store], an accelerometer-based game very similar to Labyrinth [App Store].
The game involves tilting your iPhone to try to navigate a small ball through obstacles while avoiding the holes.
The Lite version contains 12 levels and serves as a demo for the $4.99 full version [App Store] which contains “more than 70 levels".
aMaze! does offer sound effects which has been a long requested feature of Labyrinth.
For Labyrinth fans and prospective buyers, the developers have told us that the next version of Labyrinth does support sound effects and is currently pending approval in the App Store. A YouTube video of new version of Labyrinth details its new features.
Those look great! I can't wait to play them ...
I just hope they're aggressively priced at launch, to reward early adopters like me ;)
Same here. Anything involving driving or flying is usually perfect for the iPhone. I'll probably jump on these as well.
All these new games are starting to look quite good now. The future looks bright for iPhone games. I can't wait until Rolando comes out.
So much for the mass defection of iPhone developers.
Very neat! Both of these remind me of some super-fun Atari games from a long time ago.
The flying game looks like Warbirds on the Lynx:

and the boat game is a dead ringer for Hydra.

I agree that flying and driving is great on the iPhone. We need a Wing Commander/X-Wing/Elite type space shooter (no StarSmasher is not enough) to offset all these racing games. Until then, this WWII shooter will have to do!
THIS GAME JUST GOT ONLINE MULTIPLAYER!!!!! AND IT ROCKS
