It’s Wednesday again, which doesn’t mean a whole lot other than we’re that much closer to Thor being released in theaters this Friday. I’ve heard good things about it, but I’m always a sucker for comic book movies. If you don’t care about Thor, chances are you care about the bucket full of iOS games that are being released this evening.
The way this works is that developers can set a specific release date for their games on the App Store, but since it’s a global market, games are released on that date in each region. Fellow sorcerers who have unlocked the mysteries of time zones will know that this means since it’s Thursday in New Zealand first, games are released there nearly a day ahead of the US market. All of these games should be available tonight on the American App Store at 11:00 PM EST:
Enduro, 99¢ / Lite – Forum Thread – We previewed this game a few days ago, and interestingly enough, the developers don’t have any of the rights for the game. Who knows whether or not it will get pulled, but if you were intrigued by our preview, you better not wait too long before downloading it.
Frisbee Forever, Free – Forum Thread – Judging by the response on our forums, I’m not the only one surprised to see that this game is free. We were impressed by its feature list a while back, and I can’t wait to give it a spin. 100 tracks to play and 100 frisbees to connect? I’m in.
Imaginary Range, Free / HD – Forum Thread – An odd hybrid by Square Enix that seems to take a comic book and add mini-games to it. Regardless, it’s free, so as skeptical as you may be regarding Squeenix’s new project, it at least seems worth checking out.
iOOTP Baseball 2011, $4.99 – Forum Thread – Another game that we previewed not long ago! iOOTP brings a similar simulation-style management game that soccer fans have been enjoying for quite a while in other similar games. There’s no actual baseball gameplay here, instead you just manage the teams and focus on the stats. Sounds neat.
Piclings, 99¢ – Forum Thread – I love games that use the iPhone camera in clever ways. Piclings allows you to take photos, then play those photos as a platformer. I can’t wait to see how photos of my cat turns into levels in the game.
Pulse: Volume One, $4.99 – Forum Thread – Auditorium [Free] was a really clever music game, and Pulse is by the same developers, so I’m expecting good things. Eight levels are included, and there’s even talk of free updates.
Spider Jack, 99¢ / HD – Forum Thread – With gameplay that seems to be fairly obviously inspired by Cut the Rope, Spider Jack puts you in charge of, well, Spider Jack who has an appetite for bugs instead of candy. I had a lot of fun with Cut the Rope, so if Spider Jack provides more of the same, I’m OK with that.
