iPhone And iPad Apps Gone Free: iArrPirate, Flight Doodle, Egypt The Prophecy, And More

Today's list contains an endless doodle game, an app that will finally allow you to become a pirate, two utility apps for iPhone and iPad, and more. Disclaimer: All prices are subject to change at any time and without notice regardless of stated free duration. iPhone: Flight Doodle ($.99 -> Free): An endless climbing game where you control a rising balloon via tilt controls.  Dodge enemies for as long as you can while collecting all kinds of different power-ups that will help you reach the top of the OpenFeint leaderboards.  The game also allows you to customize your craft, and issue challenges via a variety of social networking services. Flight Doodle is available for free today only (9/17).  It has a two-and-a-half-star rating, and a total of 66 ratings.  Although it doesn't meet all of our usual criteria, we made an exception with this one since it is a fairly high-profile game and the low rating is mostly due to crashes experienced by 3G users.  An update is in the works, so even if you are a 3G user, go ahead and download it.  Its average rating for all versions is actually four-stars. iArrPirate ($.99 -> Free): This is your chance to turn yourself into a pirate once and for all.  Take a picture of yourself or import one from your Camera Roll, and deck out the image with all kinds of pirate items.  You can then save your image to the Camera Roll, or share it via Twitter, Facebook, or email. iArrPirate is available for free today only (9/17). It has a five-star rating, and a total of seven ratings. Bumps ($.99 -> Free): A GameSalad developed  puzzle game that requires you to place cute 'Bumps' in just the right spots in order to allow them to bounce around the level and collect the keys.  You can't control the Bumps once released, so good initial placement is imperative.  The game features multiple game modes and levels. Bumps is available for free for an undisclosed amount of time.  It has a three-and-a-half-star rating, and a total of 31 ratings. TriDefense ($2.99 -> Free): A free-path tower defense game that features modifiable terrain, which you must use to your advantage by flooding the land or building over water to create new paths to force your enemies through.  The game features a wide variety of missions with varying difficulties, ground, air and water-based enemies, 18 different towers, the ability to fast forward, survival mode with endless waves, and OpenFeint integration.
