So, rather than trying to avoid falling into a pit of spikes, the object is to jump in." - Gamevil, Paw Print Games Debut iOS Puzzle-Platformer Kami Retro "Kami Retro's gameplay mechanics are similar to Kirby: Canvas Curse on the Nintendo DS; a swipe upward will make nearby Kamis jump, while dragging to the left or right will make Kamis change direction." - Top iPad Game Apps: Discounted Flight Control, Minigore See Big Sales "Firemint's air traffic control sim Flight Control HD takes the top spot in the iPad sales charts following a day-long drop in price to 99 cents, and Chillingo's twin-stick shooter Minigore HD finds similar success at fifth place." - Chillingo Launches iOS First-Person Shooter Painkiller Purgatory "As Polish developer People Can Fly enjoys newfound success on consoles with the recent release of Bulletstorm, the iPhone and iPod Touch now host a new entry in the company's Painkiller franchise." - Paper Toss: World Tour Now Free, Backflip Announces Paper Toss: Social "App Store developer Backflip Studios announced its future plans for the popular Paper Toss franchise, revealing a social-focused update and the free release of Paper Toss: World Tour." - Top iPhone Game Apps: Tiny Wings Soars in Third Week "Andreas Illiger's Tiny Wings continues to lead iPhone game sales in its third week of release, outperforming longtime chart favorites Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, and Cut the Rope." - Cow Trouble: An Inventive Physics Puzzler from CosMind and Blue "Cow Trouble offers a terrifying glimpse into a future in which the world's cows have attempted to jump over the moon. They weren't quite successful, however, and our bovine population is now stuck in the clouds."
