Today's Apps Gone Free: Chicken Raid, Facts For Kids, HoursTracker HD And More

October 9, 2012

Remove the rowdy chicken gang from your property by causing "accidents" in FDG's physics puzzler, Chicken Raid. We also have an app that provides your child with a fun fact each day of the year, and a business app that allows you to track your hours and earnings.

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:

Chicken Raid ($0.99 → Free, 39.6 MB): Take out the unruly chicken gang that has invaded your property in this physics-based puzzle game. You aren't able to directly remove the chickens from your property, but you can break and destroy objects to cause chain reactions that will wipe them out. Try to plan ahead because the fewer actions you use, the higher your score. You can also deploy a variety of super weapons with the coins you earn. The game includes 96 levels, an original soundtrack, unlockable comics, and achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.

LensTime ($0.99 → Free, 2.0 MB): This healthcare app will help you remember to replace your contact lenses. You must first enter all of the necessary lens information, like the number of days before replacement, the time of day you want to be reminded, and the number of lenses you have. The app's main screen then displays your current lenses and the number of days in use, and allows you to pause the countdown if you switch to glasses. The app allows you to track 30-day, 14-day, and daily lenses.
