iOS Apps Gone Free: Temple Run, TtV Photo Studio, Critter Quitter, And More

September 19, 2011

The endless running game genre is filled with clones and copy cats, but Imangi Studios’ latest offering is nothing of the sort. It’s a fresh take on the genre featuring unique controls and a different perspective that will keep you coming back for more. We also have an easy to use photography app that allows you to apply retro camera effects, and a fast-paced critter squishing arcade game.

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.

What makes this game even more unique is the camera placement, which is just above and behind your character.
