iPhone And iPad Apps Gone Free: Leap Sheep HD, Jump O'CLock, Mega Jump And More

Today's list is full of games that require you to jump, but we also have a snake-like game, a browser for your iPad that allows you to surf inconspicuously in the dark, and more. Disclaimer: All prices are subject to change at any time and without notice regardless of stated free duration. Jump O' Clock ($.99 -> Free): A jumping game similar to Dizzypad where you are required to tap the screen to jump from one gear to the next in your quest to go as high as possible.  Some gears have spikes, while others have an electrical charge, so you must be quick and nimble while jumping.  Bolts can be gathered in order to obtain a super jump.  The game features randomly generated environments, and OpenFeint integration. Jump O'Clock is available for free today only (8/6). It has a four-star rating, and a total of 123 ratings. inFact World ($1.99 -> Free):  A trivia game that contains hundreds of facts pertaining to the countries of the world.  You can choose from six categories -- flags, capitals, languages, continents, water, and mountains -- and customize the scoring to suit your tastes.  The game features leaderboards, dynamically created questions, and optional sound effects. inFact World is available for free through the weekend. It has a three-star rating, and a total of 134 ratings. SimSimi ChooChoo ($.99 -> Free): Basically the game of Snake with a few twists.  You control the little choo choo train of orb-like robots by simply swiping your finger in the direction you want them to turn.  The goal is to collect as many as possible before you make a mistake and run into a wall or yourself.  Some of the orbs have timers on them and will turn into blocks if you don't get to them soon enough.  The game features OpenFeint integration as well. SimSimi ChooChoo is available for free for a limited time. It has a four-and-a-half-star rating, and a total of 10 ratings. Fish Soccer ($.99 -> Free): It's like air hockey, only with fish and a soccer ball under water.  You control a fish by sliding your finger left and right on the bottom of the screen with the goal of, well, scoring a goal.  Power-ups stream across the screen, which can be obtained by simply hitting the ball into one.  The game features a total of 10 different fish enemies to go head-t0-head against. Fish Soccer is available for free today only (8/6). It has a three-star rating, and a total of eight ratings. Mega Jump ($.99 -> Free): A jumping game without platforms.  Tilt and turn your device in order to collect coins, which boost your character higher and higher.  Power-ups are scattered all over each of the 10 levels, but so are enemies and obstacles, so be careful.  As you progress through the game you earn mega points, which can be used to purchase new in-game items.  The game features OpenFeint integration as well. Mega Jump is available for free today only (8/6). It has a four-star rating, and a total of 328 ratings. Universal: Leap Sheep HD ($.99 -> Free): An adorable and cuddly casual game where you must tap the sheep who are running towards the fence in order to make them jump over it.  If a sheep runs into the fence, they will get stuck there until you can obtain a ram to smash them over.  Rams can be obtained by making your sheep do tricks, which is done with another tap while your sheep is in the air.  The game features Plus+ integration, and an environment that reflects the time of day. Leap Sheep HD is available for free today only (8/6). It has a three-and-a-half-star rating, and a total of 95 ratings. iPad only: Night Browser ($.99 -> Free): If you need to conceal your browsing habits in the dark, this is your app.  It is able to adjust your iPad's screen brightness 100x darker than the minimum system brightness allowed.  Feature-wise, it's meant to mimic Apple's native Safari, with bookmarks, pages, search, and more. Night Browser is available for free for an undisclosed amount of time.  It has a three-star rating, and a total of 40 ratings.
