iOS Apps Gone Free: Word Chat, Are You Quick Enough?, Theme Park Pinball, And More

September 16, 2011

Playing word games is fun and all, but playing them with friends head-to-head and face-to-face is way, way better, and with Word Chat you can do just that. We also have a game that will put your reaction skills to the ultimate test, and a beautiful pinball game that includes four different tables and five modes.

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:

Word Chat ($.99 -> Free, 8 MB): A brand new word game from GRL Games, the same team that brought you Full Deck Hold'Em. It includes a total of four single player modes, each with their own little twist, and a head-to-head multiplayer mode that allows you to chat with your opponent using your iDevice's front-facing camera. If you don't have a front-facing camera but still want to be social, you can just talk into your mic. The game also includes Game Center integration.

Word Chat is available for free today only (09/16). It has a 5-star rating with a total of 3 ratings.
