iOS Apps Gone Free: Sparkle, Buggy Dash, Firework Arcade, And More

April 1, 2011

Today's AGF list includes an orb launching game, a distance game that requires you to drive a buggy across mountain tops, an arcade game where stars explode like fireworks, and more.

All app prices are subject to change at any time and without notice regardless of stated free duration. Price changes are solely under the control of the developers.

iPhone:

Buggy Dash ($.99 -> Free, 20 MB): Drive your buggy across the mountain tops for as long as possible by jumping over and dashing through obstacles. The game features multiple modes, Retina graphics, and Game Center integration.

Buggy Dash is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 8 ratings.

Blow Up the Frog ($.99 -> Free, 16 MB): Tap and hold on a frog to keep it still, and then blow into your microphone to pump it up. Once you think the frog has reached the perfect size, release it and wait for your judgement. To achieve the best score, try to pump the frog up with a single breath.

Blow Up the Frog is available for free until April 4th. It has a 3.5-star rating with a total of 11 ratings.

Sparkle the Game ($2.99 -> Free, 14.4 MB): Shoot orbs from the launcher in the middle of the screen to create matches of three or more. If you make several matches in a row, you will receive a power-up. Make sure to clear all of the orbs before they reach the end of their path, otherwise it's game over. The game features three modes, tons of challenging levels, and Game Center integration.

Sparkle the Game is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 88 ratings. Universal:

Alien Aquarium Adventure ($.99 -> Free, 21.4 MB): Keep Bleesnop, an alien who has accidentally landed in a piranha tank, out of harm's way for as long as possible by dragging him all over the screen. The piranhas are relentless, so you will need to move quickly and gather power-ups to survive. The game features three difficulty levels and Game Center integration.

Alien Aquarium Adventure is available for free until April 6th. It has a 5-star rating with a total of 3 ratings.

Firework Arcade ($.99 -> Free, 4.9 MB): Tap or swipe the falling stars to blow them up before they reach the bottom of the screen in this arcade game. If a star is behind a cloud, you won't be able to blow it up. Try to avoid balloons as well, because if you hit four of them, it's game over.

Firework Arcade is available for free today only (04/01). It has a 5-star rating with a total of 3 ratings. Developers: If you are a developer who would like to get your app included in our “Apps Gone Free” daily lists, here’s our basic set of rules:
  • It must have at least a three-star average rating at the time it goes free.
  • The app must not have been free numerous times (3+) over the last six months.
  • The free version of your app must not include ads.
To submit an app, simply send a request to tyler@appadvice.com with the subject “Apps Gone Free.” Please include the name of the app, a link to it in the App Store, when and for how long you intend to offer the app for free, and anything else you would like to share. We will take it from there.
