TouchArcade's One Year Anniversary Mega Game Giveaway
posted March 12th, 2009 1:49 PM EST by arn in Exclusives, News
Today marks TouchArcade's one year anniversary.
And in order to celebrate we've collected promo codes from developers of some of our (and our readers') favorite iPhone games over this past year. Those developers have kindly donated 5 promo codes (valid in U.S. only) for each of these games and we will give them away to our dedicated TouchArcade readers.
The games include:
Puzzle Quest Chapter 1 & 2 ($7.99) - Puzzle Quest is the award winning RPG / Match 3 game. This modern classic has made its way to the iPhone with over 40+ hours of addictive gameplay. If you've never played this on any other platform, here's your chance.
Pinball Dreams ($5.99) - A 1992 Amiga pinball classic that has returned to the App Store. It is widely considered the best pinball game available. Be sure to checkout our review and gameplay video of this classic game.
Sway ($4.99) - IllusionLabs/ReadyFireAim's amazing multi-touch platform game. Sway's graphics, music, style and controls came together in a wonderful package. Check out our review and followup gameplay video after some more practice.
Galcon ($4.99) - One of the early releases for the iPhone, this fast-paced arcade strategy game offers one of the best experiences on the iPhone. The most recent releases have also added on-line multiplayer which takes it to the next level.
The Quest ($5.99) - One of the best RPG/Adventure games found on the App Store. Spend hours exploring the different worlds in this 1st person role playing game. See the discussion thread.
Ancient Frog ($4.99) - This beautiful puzzler treats the eyes with its lush, detailed graphics, soothes the soul with its relaxing forest soundscape, and challenges (boggles?) the mind with its unique gameplay. Seeing a frog eat fly has never been such a zen experience.
Smiles ($4.99) - This wonderfully polished Match-3 game has been nominated as a finalist in IGF's Best Mobile Games 2009. Read our overview and gameplay video of this underappreciated gem.
Archibald's Adventure ($4.99) - A unique puzzle/platformer starring a boy and his bubble set in the harrowing basement of a mad scientist. With great attention to detail, it's both a challenging puzzler and a great platformer.
Fieldrunners ($4.99) - Some say this is still the best Tower Defense game in the App Store. Subatomic's breakout hit has been named amongst Time Magazine's Top 100 games of 2008. If you somehow managed to avoid getting this game up until now, here's your chance.
Zen Bound ($4.99) - The most perfect iPhone game? That's what we thought in review. The integration of intuitive multi-touch controls with beautiful 3D graphics combine into a truly Zen-like experience.
Orions: Legend of Wizards ($4.99) - A fantasy card-based strategy game from the developers of iDracula. Everyone who's played it has loved this title.
Touchgrind ($4.99) - Curiously, we never issued an official review for this massively popular iPhone title. The game brings multi-touch skateboarding to the iPhone and has become a fan favorite. See the gameplay video.
SlotZ ($4.99) - Anyone who was a kid in the 70s or 80s might just remember how much fun slot car racing was. Slotz Racer brings a chance to relive that fun or experience it for the first time. It feels great and really captures that on-the-carpet experience.
Vector Tanks ($2.99) - Maybe the most enjoyable retro game in the App Store, Vector Tanks is basically Battlezone 2.0 for the iPhone. Lots of nice touches make this a super "modern retro" experience.
Bobby Carrot Forever ($4.99) - One of the best and most challenging puzzle games on the iPhone. Collect all the carrots while figuring out how to bypass the obstacles. Over 15 hours of gameplay.
Edge ($4.99) - Edge is a 3D isometric puzzle / maze game that we never fully reviewed here on TouchArcade, but it’s one that we did particularly enjoy. The levels were inventive and an overall joy to play.
