App Store Update: July 19

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

Pac-Man Dash! – (Freemium)

Namco Bandai is in the middle of a major push to bring Pac-Man back into the spotlight, having launched a new Saturday morning cartoon starring him on Disney XD earlier this Summer, and developing a new 3D platformer for him on all the major consoles and 3DS (set to be released this Fall).

Now, we see that their all-encompassing reboot of the character is encompassing the App Store as well, as Pac-Man Dash! has just gone on sale – it's a runner starring the insatiably hungry arcade hero, sprinting along through a new world modeled after his cartoon show and chomping ghosts along the way. It's free-to-play, too, so give it a try!

Dolmus Driver HD – ($1.99)

The nation of Turkey has its own kind of taxi cabs called "dolmus," which will only leave from where they're parked when enough seats inside have been filled by passengers. Dolmus Driver HD, then, is kind of like Sega's Crazy Taxi – only with a whole lot more virtual people crammed into the backseat as you thread your way through traffic at unsafe speeds.

Price Drops

Neuroshima Hex – ($2.99)

An Ameritrash game that works much better on the iPad than it did as a tabletop game, Neuroshima Hex is a post-apocalyptic hex-based wargame in a very confined space. Four factions (mutant, military, robot and gangsters) with unique units battle to destroy each other’s HQ. Tense, strategic and high-energy, no two battles go the same way. Two expansions each introduce a new faction and tileset. It has four-player local multiplayer, and online multiplayer was recently patched in.

Caylus – ($2.99)

Caylus casts you as builders seeking to impress a lord by building as much of his castle as possible, whilst also enriching yourself and building a town around the castle. Though players are limited in their actions (you can only do things that no other player has already done), the complex board expands through player action, so that choice expands as the game progresses. The game supports five players, either locally or online.
