iCut ($2.99 -> Free): A new type of puzzle game from the developers of LetsTans.
In iCut you are simply required to cut shapes into congruent parts by tapping pieces to color them. The game starts out easy in order to give you an idea of what actually must be accomplished, and as you progress, more colors and complex shapes start to enter the mix.
The game features 432 hand-crafted puzzles, four difficulty levels, three modes, and a hint system.
iCut is available for free today only (5/25).
Parallelus ($.99 -> Free): A game that features two separate playing fields, putting your reflexes to the ultimate test.
Parallelus is a simple avoidance game with a neat twist. Your left and right thumbs are in control of two totally separate games. The idea is to avoid the bombs that are cascading down the screen while collecting the hearts. You are scored separately for each side of the screen, allowing you find out which thumb is the weakest of the two.
The game features over 100 levels, three different modes, and OpenFeint integration.
Parallelus is available for free today only (5/25).
Space Storm ($.99 -> Free): A side-scrolling space shooter.
Space Storm has you piloting the galaxy's most powerful ship as you blast your way through swarms of enemies. Controlling the ship is done via an on-screen joystick, and you can fire your ship's weapons via action buttons on the right. After every third level you will encounter a massive boss that wants nothing more than to destroy you. Power-ups are available to aid you in your quest.
The game features a tutorial to help you get the hang of things, two difficulty levels, and OpenFeint integration.
