Another week, another slew of awesome paid iPhone and iPad apps that will go on sale for free for a limited time. How can you find the best ones out there without having to sift through all the junk? Why, that’s our job, of course. To make Monday slightly less painful for you, we’ve scoured the app store and put together a list of seven nifty apps worth a combined $70 that can all be had for free if you hurry.
These are paid iPhone and iPad apps that have been made available for free for a limited time by their developers. There is no way to tell how long they will be free. These sales could end an hour from now or a week from now — obviously, the only thing we can guarantee is that they are free at the time this post is published. If you click on a link and see a price listed next to an app instead of the word “free,” it is no longer free. The sale has ended. If you download the app, you will be charged.

Steer your ship manually by tilting your device left and right, or tap your enemies to engage the “Autopilot”. To maximize damage, it is best to be facing your enemies directly before pressing the right “Weapons/Fire” button. Holding the left “Shield” button will allow you to deflect the enemy projectiles. Prolonged use of the Weapons/Shields will cause a temporary overload. Note that it is NOT possible to fire your weapons while Shields are active.
When engaged in battle, your ship will automatically level-up in an RPG-like fashion allowing you to unlock new shields and weapons.
Successfully completing each mission will unlock new game levels. Replaying any of the missions without failing will provide you with an added degree of difficulty. For an even greater endless challenge, try your luck at the survival-style “Gauntlet” simulation levels, which will be automatically unlocked upon successful completion of all story driven missions.
>> In-Game Options Menu allows you to adjust:
Tilt Controls: “Normal” (default), “Reversed”, or “Off”: disables the tilt controls altogether in favor of tapping your enemies.
Button Location: “Bottom” (default on iPhone/iPod-Touch), “Middle” (default on iPad) and “Top”: aimed at iPad users who wish to avoid tilting in favor of tap controls.
Background: “Moving” (default): compensates the game’s background as you tilt the screen, or “Fixed”: old-school non-moving background. If you experience discomfort with the game’s tilting motion, the “Fixed” background setting may be preferred. (Also useful when AirPlay Mirroring to a TV, or using the Digital AV Adapter)
