Glow Puzzle: Nice path-finding puzzle game with two 75-level $0.99 packs. Slow touch response irks, tho’. 3/5 Free
Dark Nebula (ep 1): First-rate overhead ‘platform’/dexterity arcade game. Wonderful graphics and level design. 5/5 Free
iFighter 1945: Short but playable overhead 1945-style shooter. It’s no AirAttack but worth grabbing for free. 3/5 Free
