iPhone Apps To Download For Free: Blue Skies, Moxie, And flOOid
May 10, 2010
Blue Skies ($2.99 -> Free): An accelerometer-controlled top-down 2D shooter that will have you defending your country from the evil Hans Kraven and his henchman.
In the game you will be controlling the direction of your helicopter via tilt controls, and firing your weapons with left and right taps. Downed enemies will drop fuel, health, and cash, which can be used to upgrade your weapons.
The game features 30 levels, 10 different weapons, two game modes, rain and other weather effects, randomly generated levels, and three difficulty settings.
Blue Skies is available for free today only (5/10).
Moxie ($.99 -> Free): A unique and relaxing word game where you must form as many words from 51 letter tiles as you can to obtain the highest possible score.
The game doesn't feature a timer like many other word games, so you can take your time and strategize. Once you create a word in one of the three open lines, you must keep adding letters to the word or keep changing it to sustain your point chain. If you create an invalid word, you will lose points and have to start the chain again. Letters can be passed on, but you only have a limited number of tiles, so it is to your advantage to use them all.
The game features a short tutorial video to help you get the hang of its unique concept, and local and global leaderboards.
Moxie is available for free today only (5/10).
flOOid ($.99 -> Free): A colorful entertainment app that allows you to touch and swipe the screen to make mesmerizing images.
Touching your iPhone's screen in flOOid will make the digital fluid move around your finger. You can shake the device to cycle through the color themes or enable auto-cycling. Critters can now also be added to the app in various amounts, which create fluid movement on their own and will follow your finger wherever it goes.
The app features six color themes, the ability to change the amount of critters and their speeds, the ability to toggle auto-cycle on/off, and the ability to change cycle speed.
flOOid is available for free today only (5/10).
