Sky Burger for iPhone/iPod touch free for the day
Hey, the weekend is coming, so how serious can we be? Sky Burger, [App Store] a pretty cute arcade game for the iPhone and iPod touch, is free today only. Note: As of Saturday morning PDT the app is still free. The game involves tilting your iPhone to catch ingredients to make a sandwich with the required ingredients. There are 50 possible burger orders to try and get right. You cap it all off with a bun. It reminds me a little bit of the theme of the 1982 game called Burger Time.
Sky Burger seems a bit silly but it can get pretty addictive as you try to build up points and tips. The game has good music and sound effects. Try it for free: even vegetarians will like it. Tomorrow the game goes back up to US$0.99. Even at that price, it's pretty good fun.
Thanks, Ian!

I tried to find this game, and it's gone. It's still listed in the search, but, when you try to find it, POOF, there's nothing there other than the listing.
What gives??????

It seems to me that Ian Marsh may be recycling the Scoops App with a slightly different twist...

I got the game when I first saw this story. Its pretty fun....so I'm quite happy to have gotten it free.
I told a friend about it, but he took a while to get around to getting it and by the time he did he got the same error that others have been getting.
