Game Debuts

Survivalcraft – ($3.99)

Price Drops

Stone Age: The Board Game – ($4.99)

Normally priced at $6.99, Campfire Creations has knocked a couple of bucks off of Stone Age for a limited time.

I Dig It HD – ($0.99)

For a more severe price drop, check out I Dig It HD – this subterranean adventure debuted at a price of $9.99 in 2010, so digging all the way down to just 99 cents is quite a savings.

Freebies!

Gyro 13: Steam Copter Arcade HD – (Free)

This tough-as-nails copter navigating challenge rewards only those players with enough patience to steer their steampunk helicopter with subtle care.

This hit Flash strategy game first came to iPad, then iPhone last year. Today it's available for free – but only today!
