Google's final day of 25c apps - what's on offer
Google's promotion to mark 25 million downloads from Google Play finishes today, but there are plenty of nifty apps today
Zara Baxter | Monday, October 01 2012 | 1 CommentGoogle has put some impressive games up for cheap during its 25c app promotion, including Angry Birds Space, Cut the Rope and SketchBook Pro. Today is the last day to get some cheap apps - each of the apps will be availabe only until the end of the day.
- Horn, by Zynga is a big game, but it's a visually impressive third persona adventure game. It won't run on all phones - you'll need a decent amount of space and power to cope with its graphics, but on a high-end phone it will work a treat. You play as a blacksmith's apprentice whose village has been taken over by monsters, who it turns out are the villagers affected by a curse.
- Air Control, by Four Pizels is an Android take on the very popular Flight Control on iOS. You're the air traffic controller who has to land planes, touching each with a finger to draw a path to its landing strip. Simple and challenging simultaneously.
- Smart Tools, by Smart tools inc lets you masure length, distance, height, direction angle and sound with your phone. It has a compass, vibrometer, flashlight and more, all in one little package
Aside from these great little apps, there's a swag of other games, all at https://play.google.com/store/apps/collection/promotion_celebrate_25_billion
