Helicopter Shooter ‘Blue Skies’ Drops to $5.99 in App Store

Earlier this week we reviewed Egerter Software’s top-down helicopter shooter Blue Skies [App Store].  The game debuted at a price of $9.99 in the iTunes App Store.  After listening to feedback through comments on our review posting and a related forum thread, the developer (‘RPGGuy‘) has lowered the price to $5.99.

The developer has also created new terrain graphics utilizing double the texture size of the original, which should appear soon in a Blue Skies App Store update.

Thanks for taking user commentary to heart, RPGGuy.

(At the time of this writing, the product page is still showing the original $9.99 price, but we have confirmation that the reduced price is now in effect.)

    Oooh, nice! Loving the new adventure games popping up! Perfect device :)

    Background music is not bad (bit of a basic delay melody/progression, but it'll do) :P

    This looks freeking awesome. It is exactly the kind of game I've been hoping to see on the iPhone. Not only that, but it appears to be high quality in many many ways. Kudos to the Agharta Studio for setting the bar high.

    I really hope this does well, maybe it'll inspire other game makers to break out of the mold and tap the potential of the iPhone.

    Doesn't that one guy look like Johnny Depp from some movie which I can't remember?
