Every day hundreds of new apps make their debut on the App Store, and hundreds more are updated or reduced in price. We have sifted through the noise and highlighted those select few that might be worth your attention.

Game Debuts

My Little Monster ($0.99)
My Little Monster is one part pet-raising sim, one part RPG. If you're on the fence, keep in mind that it has monster hats. HATS, PEOPLE!

Khet ($3.99)
This innovative battle puzzler builds an entire game on top of the classic "mirrors & lasers" video game puzzle. It even includes a 2-player battle mode.

Blot ($0.99)
This fast-paced one-button action game features a unique "sketchy" art style. Fitting considering that Blot himself is a big blob of ink.

Price Drops

Batman Arkham City Lockdown ($2.99)
NetherRealm's Infinity Blade-esque Batman brawler is half-off for a limited time. We awarded this title a 7 / 10 "good" score in our review last month.

Royal Envoy (Free)
Royal Envoy is one of the best casual sim / time management town builders on the market. Don't be fooled by its "casual" label – obtaining expert scores is challenging and captivating! Don't miss it while its free!

Quarrel Deluxe ($0.99)
Quarrel can be nabbed for just $0.99 for a limited time. We awarded this title 2011 mobile board game of the year.

Worms Crazy Golf ($1.99)
Worms Crazy Golf is 60% off for a limited time. It's one of the most underrated titles on the App Store. Far from being "just another" word game, its actually a very clever mixture of puzzle and strategy, and is jam-packed with content. IGN awarded the title a 9 / 10 "Amazing" score.

Mini Motor Racing HD ($1.99)
Mini Motor Racing ($0.99)
Gamers can save a few dollars on both versions of Binary Mill's top-down racer for a limited time.

Eve of the Genesis ($0.99)
This traditional RPG from Kemco might not be worth its $8.99 standard asking price, but for $0.99 it is a lot harder to pass up.

Feed the Fox (Free)
Gamers that want a new physics puzzler but don't want to spend the standard $1 are in luck. Feed the Fox is free for a limited time.

Drop the Chicken (Free)
Drop the Chicken is also free, for gamers looking for a Cut the Rope alternative.

Always Up! Pro (Free)
This Doodle Jump competitor is free for a limited time. It's a little more puzzle-oriented than Lima Sky's App Store hit, giving it a unique flavor.
