Indie iPhone sale—6 iOS game developers try to raise money for charity

Indie iPhone sale—6 iOS game developers try to raise money for charitySix Indie game developers have joined up to create an iPhone sale for charity. Instead of lowering prices to dominate the charts before the holiday freeze like some of the bigger developers, these six indie developers have put their applications on sale and from December 21st to December 31st will be donating one-third of their total sales to Child’s Play Charity.

These indie developers aren’t a conglomerate of mediocre developers trying to get their games some attention. All six of these games have dominated charts, and a couple are personal favorites of mine. For six dollars, you can’t go wrong.

Included in the holiday sale:

  • Canabalt
  • Solipskier
  • Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor
  • Osmos
  • Eliss
  • Drop7

I can personally vouch for Canabalt, Eliss, and Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor.  I’ve spent a lot of my time playing those three this year.  I’ve added my personal favourites in the footer of this post for your convenience.  If you’re looking for new games during this upcoming holiday season, let’s start here.

We're testing out a new service called Spread.Us. Help us share our stories!
