  • ThumStruck ($3) is a rhythm-based music game that features ten songs, each with three levels of difficulty. Players time "thumstrucks" with the music, exploding elemental orbs as they pass the bar of the corresponding color (Blue = Ice; Yellow = Fire; Red = Lightning). The game also includes an in-game tutorial, animation feedback on hits and misses, and score multipliers for successive hits.

  • HydroTilt ($5) is a game where players need to guide a bead of water across suspended platforms. The bead is controlled by using the accelerometer, tilting the device will move the bead in that direction. Players can also alter the state of the water into a solid (ice) or a gaseous state (water vapor) to help solve various puzzles. The game includes 25 levels along with 5 unlockable bonus levels and side missions.

  • Hotel Booker (free) helps users to find hotels close to their current location. The application includes a database of over 60,000 hotels worldwide, each with accompanying photos, maps and detailed information. All hotels can be booked directly from an iPhone or iPod touch and most do not require a prepayment.

  • CryptoVault ($5) is an application for keeping sensitive data on an iPhone or iPod touch. The application is designed for storing things such as credit card information, PIN's, bank account data and website ID's and passwords. The application uses AES 256-bit encryption and requires users to enter a password on startup. The password is never stored anywhere on the device and users should make it memorable as there is no way to recover lost passwords.

  • Moon Lighter ($1) helps users to take photos at night with an iPhone. The application uses the phones built-in accelerometer to detect when the image is still and then automatically snaps the photo. There are three different sensitivity settings users can select from along with a night mode toggle to turn off the feature when taking photos with good lighting.
