App Store Update: October 15

Every day hundreds of new apps make their debut on the App Store, and hundreds more are updated or reduced in price. We have sifted through the noise and highlighted those select few that might be worth your attention.

Game Debuts

Skyriders – ($1.99)

Kicking off our newest week of App Store Updates is Skyriders, a hybrid design that's part racing game and part platformer. You'll rush forward on a track suspended in space, jumping and double-jumping to clear gaps in the surface. The music's also pretty fantastic, so give the trailer both a look and a listen:

Price Drops

World of Goo HD – ($1.99)

A winner of several Game of the Year awards when it debuted a few years ago, along with the recipient of a lofty 9.5/10 rating and an Editor's Choice Award when we reviewed it, World of Goo is a brilliant puzzler that's an absolute steal at just two bucks. If you never have, definitely pick it up for your iPad . . .

World of Goo – ($1.99)

. . . or your iPhone/iPod Touch. Both versions of the game are on sale right now for the same low price.

Pac-Man – ($2.99)

Namco's conversion of the most famous dot-eating game ever made is on sale for a few bucks off, so go gobble up some ghosts.

Qvoid – (Free)

A block-tumbling, color-matching puzzler that will bend your brain into a square before you're through, Qvoid is free to own right now in the Store.

Igloo Games Arcade – (Free)

For another free game, why not take five free games? Igloo Games Arcade bundles five designs together within the same download, all of them available at no cost right now.

The Bard's Tale – ($1.99)

The brilliantly funny – actually, genuinely laugh-inducing – epic RPG from inXile is on sale for its cheapest price ever. Take a look:

Real Racing 2 – ($0.99)

Like clockwork, Firemint's Real Racing 2 goes on sale just about once every month or so. And so it has again, once more making itself available for only 99 cents.

Updates

Tongue Tied! – ($0.99)

The approach of Halloween continues to inspire several of the App Store's most popular games to present new, free, spooky-themed content, and Tongue Tied! is the latest to join the group. Check out Mick and Ralph – two dogs whose tongues have been tied together – for ghostly, ghoulish fun in Version 4.0's Bloodhound update.

That's all for today! If you haven't already, consider subscribing to the App Store Update via email. It's extra convenient!
