App Store Update: October 19

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

Jumping Finn Turbo – ($1.99)

It's Adventure Time! Take control of Jake's mighty feet and boot Finn up into the stratosphere in this new game based on the popular Cartoon Network show.

Pocket Clothier – ($3.99)

Kairosoft returns with another virtualization of a workplace, this time adapting into game form the trials and tribulations of running a fashionable clothing boutique.

Square Planet – (Free)

You're a spherical hero in a square-ular world, rolling and bouncing your ball-shaped self on a quest to rescue your circular buddies from the evil, angular blocks.

Price Drops

Oh Hi! Octopi! – (Free)

A cross between a platformer and a color-matching puzzler, Oh Hi! Octopi! stars the App Store's cutest hammer-wielding cephalopod. This game was the lead-off new release in one of our updates just a month and a half ago, and now already you can grab it for free.

Orc: Vengeance – ($0.99)

Orc: Vengeance is knocked down to the 99-cent level right now – it's a Diablo-like dungeon crawler that turns the tables on the genre's traditional hero casting and lets you play instead as a rampaging Orc. We've also got a review for this one as well, so give it a read to help you in your decision-making.

Saving Private Sheep 2 – (Free)

Take command of a squad of woolly soldiers and protect the flock with the power of heavy weapons.

SongPop – (Free)

Developer FreshPlanet's "name that tune" social networking challenge lets you quiz your friends on their musical knowledge. It's free to download, but for today only.

Updates

Ticket to Ride – ($6.99)

The free Halloween-themed content updates just keep on rolling out, and today's is for Ticket to Ride. Fire up this virtual board game for another round and discover the new Halloween Freighter train that's waiting for you within.

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