April 17, 2013

Play as a jetpack-equipped dog and race across rooftops in Star Hound. We also have an alarm clock app with a clean interface, and a challenging endless climbing 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.

iPhone:

Brrrr Alarm Pro (Vibrate&Music Alarm, Table Clock!) ($0.99 → Free, 35.3 MB): Wake up on time with this slick alarm clock app. The app's clean interface displays only what you need to know, like the current date, time, weather conditions, and temperature. You're able to create multiple alarms which can repeat on select days. You're also able to determine snooze intervals and whether you want to wake up to your own music or vibrations.

Brrrr Alarm Pro (Vibrate&Music Alarm, Table Clock!) is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 12 ratings.

iColorama S ($1.99 → Free, 25.9 MB): Edit and enhance your photos with all kinds of filters and effects with this photography app. You're able to apply filters and effects to specific areas of your photo by adding masks, or you can choose from more than 100 presets and make quick work of it. When your project is finished, you can share it via email, Facebook, Twitter, or Tumblr.

iColorama S is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 141 ratings.

Ice Pop & Popsicle Maker by Bluebear ($0.89 → Free, 26.4 MB): Create your very own ice pops from scratch with this entertainment app. Just try to avoid drooling or chewing on your iPhone or iPod touch when you're done. You're able to choose from three different molds, and then layer different flavors. Choose from one of the many funky stick designs, pop your treat into the freezer, and then wait until it's frozen solid. Coat your ice pop, and add sprinkles and other sweets. You can also share your creations with friends via Facebook or email. The app also includes two fun mini-games.

Ice Pop & Popsicle Maker by Bluebear is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 128 ratings.

Universal:

File Storage ($3.99 → Free, 4.4 MB): This productivity app allows you to store, view, and share files without limits. You're able to import files from Dropbox, through iTunes File Sharing, from your photo library, or from another iDevice with File Storage installed. You're then able to view most common and compressed files, and manage them with folders. The app also includes AirPrint support, and the ability to send files via email or to other apps.

File Storage is available for free today only (04/17). It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 7 ratings.

Star Hound ($0.99 → Free, 29.1 MB): Reach for the stars as a jetpack-equipped dog in this endless runner from the Kieffer Bros. Race across the rooftops and clear gaps by jumping, flying, or hooking your way over them. Oh, did I forget to mention that your dog also carries around a grappling hook wherever he goes? Well, he does, and it's pretty awesome. Just keep in mind that your jetpack has a limited amount of fuel, but it can be recharged. The game also includes checkpoints, and leaderboards via Game Center.

Star Hound is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 20 ratings.

TAPGEM ($0.99 → Free, 5.5 MB): I hope you're ready for a challenge, because this puzzle game is going to consume you. The object of the game is to place red gems all over the board so that the number of them matches the number at the end of each row and column. But there is one additional detail that complicates things: you must also make sure that each color on the board contains four and only four gems. Good luck with that! The game includes a total of 60 levels with increasing difficulty. An additional 60 levels are now available via in-app purchase.

TAPGEM is available for free for a limited time. It has a 5-star rating with a total of 14 ratings.

King of Opera ($1.99 → Free, 35.1 MB): Fight for fame and become the King of Opera in this crazy arcade game. The object is to bounce your opponents off of the platform and out of the spotlight by getting your singer to run into them. The only catch is that your opera singer is constantly spinning, making it difficult to get him going in the right direction. The game includes multiple modes, the ability to play with three other friends on the same device, and achievements via Game Center.

King of Opera is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4.5-star rating with a total of 89 ratings.

iPad:

Paper Climb ($0.99 → Free, 26.8 MB): You won't find another endless climbing game like this one in the entire App Store. It puts you in full control of your climber, with your index and middle fingers handling the movement of the hands and your thumb controlling the feet. Try to grab onto holes in the paper to work your way up while avoiding all of the dangerous obstacles. The best part is, you can catch up on the latest news from Twitter since the paper's text is populated from the popular social networking service. The game also includes achievements and leaderboards via Game Center.

Paper Climb is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4-star rating with a total of 5 ratings.
