  • Penetrator ($1) is a game where players must guide their spaceship through a cave while avoiding obstacles and collecting bonuses. The game features three different environments each with its own physics characteristics. The actual levels are generated in real time meaning that each one will be unique. The game is presented as a 2D side scroller and the controls consist of tapping on the screen to fly upwards and releasing to fly down.

  • SlickShopper ($1) is a tool for creating grocery store shopping lists. The application includes a built-in database of items and includes options for adding new ones to the database. Users can then add items they need to pick up into a list and sort alphabetically, or manually. SlickShopper also allows users to set up different stores and sort out which items are in each aisle. This allows users to then see where each item is located while working through their list.

  • Tap Forms ($9) is a tool for creating databases on an iPhone or iPod touch. The application includes more than 25 built-in forms for storing data such as bank accounts, health insurance, and serial numbers. There are also 13 different fields types such as text, date, number, and photo, that can be used for creating custom forms. All data stored within Tap Forms can be encrypted using AES 256 bit encryption and files can be exported to desktop applications as a CSV file.

  • PhotoEffect ($2) includes a series of lighting and color filters that can be applied to photos. Some of the effects include: black and white, sepia, sunset (red tint), posterization, and pop art. Images can be imported from the devices camera roll, modified and then saved with the changes as a new image. PhotoEffect also includes two options that can be added along with any filter, high contrast and flash light.

  • FeedFalls ($2) is an RSS feed reader which always scrolls to the top of a list as articles are updated. The developers compare the effect to a waterfall as articles are constantly flowing downwards. Users can add the feeds they follow and customize the color scheme of the application. FeedFalls also includes a built-in web browser for viewing any of the articles that are displayed.
