Chaotic Box has released a multi-touch color matching game into the App Store called Pinch ‘n Pop [App Store].
Pinch ‘n Pop! is a new breed of frantic color matching fun that challenges both your wits and dexterity. Push, flick, and squeeze the self-replicating Squirms to keep their population under control, and maximize your score with color chains and well-timed powerup bursts.
Designed exclusively for the iPhone and iPod touch, Pinch ‘n Pop! is a unique arcade experience featuring realistic physics and true multi-touch interaction.
While we know most of you are tired of color-matching games, we appreciate the developer’s effort to design an iPhone-specific game.
The gameplay video shows the game in action:

All the graphics and stuff look great, and I like watching an occasional Price is Right, but this isn't anything I'll be buying. I'm too addicted to Quick Draw.
I hope they have audio samples from Bob Barker and Rod Roddy :). I am considering getting this game, looks like a good time killer.
Looks great! I really want to buy it cause I love the show, but only 16 of the games being included kind of turns me off, its a good amount but nothing insane...especially for 5 bucks.
added some first impressions to the article. Overall, well done. more or less faithful to the game show, though the actual play is a little tweaked to allow for individual play. in that, you don't have to win the Contestant's row to continue, but you do have to win the Big Wheel to play in the Showcase showdown.
If you didn't love the show, I don't see any reason to get it. But if you did love the show, it seems a worthy version.

I think this page shows which games are available to play.

Not available in the Australian store, and probably not in most others either.
Ironic name, given the recent kerfuffle over the pricing of iPhone games. Also this one could be more of a challenge for the developer to make into a global hit, since lots of different nations had their own Price is Right hosts (ours in the UK was Lesley Crowther - "Come On Down, The Price is Right!" - the host said that everywhere, right? :( )
It should be noted is isn't available in the UK store.
First they came out with deal or no deal now this. Theres alot of good games out in the app store now all we need is Family Feud!
Is it Barker or the Clive pretender?
A few things a lot of reviews (and maybe players) seem to have missed. When you start the single player game you are given the choice between '3 Strikes' and 'Classic' mode. Classic exactly replicates the experience of being on the show. You stay at Contestant's Row until you win and if you don't win, the game ends. Also, all of the games have "achievements" to earn and if you do, you unlock them to play on their own without having to play the rest of the game proper.
