Every night at 12:15 AM Pacific, Amazon gives away a free paid app through their Amazon app store. As I am usually awake at 12:15 AM Pacific, why not let you know if today’s app is useful, or just more clutter in your app drawer?
Today’s free app is Radiant HD by Hexage Ltd, which usually sells for $1.99. Yet another touch screen space shooter where you don’t control when the lasers fire. Which really kills half the point of a space shooter. I realize there are control limitations to the touch screen format, but without being able to control when you shoot, all you’re doing in the game is tilting left and right and praying that bad guys happen to wander into the path of your lasers.
Graphics are nice enough, although there is probably a point where making your bad guys rip offs of Space Invaders and Pac-Man ghosts become less novel. It might even be now.
