Disclaimer: All prices are subject to change at any time and without notice regardless of stated free duration.
Jumbled ($.99 -> Free): In this word game, you must unscramble the letters at the top of the screen and then choose the one related word at the bottom of the screen. The faster you are able to do so, the higher the score. If you are unable to unscramble the word in time or choose the wrong answer, you will lose a life. Lose all five and the game is over. The game also features optional in-game hints, three levels of difficulty, and OpenFeint integration.

Cooking Academy ($2.99 -> Free): Create and cook over 50 unique recipes by doing as your told just like a good chef would do. You will be slicing, dicing, kneading, folding, and frying all with the tip of your finger. Pour, flip, and grate by tilting your device. The faster you accomplish your tasks, the better the score. But don't mess up the recipe just because you want to complete it quickly. The game also features five courses to master, 35 mini-games, eight trophies, and more.
