Hey there Touch Arcaders! Just to let you all know that Aussie App Sale is starting it's third annual event tomorrow (Saturday December 3rd). The Aussie App Sale 2011 is launching with over 25 Australian-made apps, many of which will be on sale (or are already really cheap!). This year’s launch line-up is the site’s largest yet, featuring 26 games and utility apps. The event features a wide range of different apps; from photography to property, train sets to TV guides, and gamebooks to music tappers. Aussie App Sale is proud to promote the quality and diversity of Australian iOS apps. Aussie App Sale starts Saturday December 3rd and finishes Tuesday January 3rd. As with previous years, the Sale will continue to update with more and more apps throughout December. Last year we ended up with over 80 apps to choose from, so there's definitely good reason to check back more than once. =) If any Aussie developers want to get in touch with me, just email me at hellofriends [at] aussieappsale [dawt] com.
Hey LOLavi! We had HalfBrick involved last year with Fruit Ninja, which was pretty excellent. =) There's some other great Aussie games featured in this year's list, including some of the Gamebook Adventure titles by Tin Man Games, music-tapper Orbeats, the One Single Life 1 + 2 and Stickman BMX, just to name a few! We'll continue to add apps throughout December as well, so expect some more news throughout the month.
Aussie App Sale Update We've just put up our first update for 2011, with five fresh new apps in our Bargain section! Included in the new additions are Zombie Juice (who doesn't love some zombie slayin'?) and RainRadar AU (useful for those Aussies caught in the rainstorms at the moment!). We'll be continuing to add more apps every week, so make sure to check back every once in a while. =)

Along with a realistic dice-based battle system to fight creatures, an epic tale and beautiful artwork, Catacombs of the Undercity will give you many hours of gamebook adventuring! "Captured by one of Orlandes City’s most infamous brotherhoods, the Red Hand Guild, you are thrown to the mercy of the subterranean world deep beneath the streets of the great capital. Wading through the sewers and other dark menacing places, your goal is to reach Undercity, the City beneath the City! Only there can you find the help you need to escape this underground horror and bring down the dark brotherhood from within." "My favourite examples so far though are the iPad and iPhone-compatible Gamebook Adventures, a series of lovingly crafted and extremely well-written interactive fantasy novels. It's surprisingly engrossing stuff, the economically written narrative packing in masses of detail, while rattling out a pacey, involving story." - The Guardian "Catacombs of the Undercity is the best entry into the Orlandes series I’ve played yet. It’s exciting, atmospheric and even amusing at times, plus there are plenty more beasties to battle too." - iPhoneFreak (4/5) Gamebook Adventures 5: Catacombs of the Undercity is the fifth in a series of newly written adventure gamebooks for the iPhone, iPod Touch and now beautifully realised for the iPad!

"Two hundred years ago, the legendary City of Tarnath Tor was destroyed as it’s defenders, the mighty wizards valiantly tried to repel an orcun horde. Now just a place set within stories and myths, it has been lost to the outside world. A chance encounter with one who claims to be a time traveller sends you on a mission to recover some magical artifacts. This search will lead you to great ruins and the dark forces who have made it their home. Who is this wizard from Tarnath Tor and how can you trust him?" "Gamebook Adventures are fun to read – not just because the RPG mechanic draws you in and engages you in the story, but also because the stories are good fantasy fiction. The artwork is great and there is a great deal of replayability in the application, especially when you consider the hundreds of choices that can be made and the various difficulties." - WIRED.COM "After finally making my way through the series’ newest release, I’m somewhat ashamed that I’ve waited so long to take the plunge...the only real question is, “How much longer do I think I can hold out before buying the other five volumes?” The answer: Not very." - 148APPS (4/5) "Interactive Gamebook Adventures hits iOS for six with The Wizard from Tarnath Tor" - POCKET GAMER Gamebook Adventures 6: The Wizard from Tarnath Tor is the sixth in a series of newly written adventure gamebooks for the iPhone, iPod Touch and now beautifully realised for the iPad!
