Posted by Arron Hirst on December 30th, 2009

Lets face it, everyone likes a sale - and I imagine even more so when this said sale involves grabbing a bunch of pretty great iPhone apps for almost next to nothing! For the second year running, Minnesota based indie developers Howling Moon Software have rounded up some well loved developers to bring a snatching of seriously cool App Store titles at awesome discounts!

Starting December 31st 2009 and ending January 1st 2010, each of the included titles will be discounted from their normal price, allowing you to snap up the dev(s) hard work at a pittance, and with titles such as Retro Dreamer's ghoulish Eyegore's Blast, Chaotic Box's bubble popping frenzy Pinch n' Pop, Howling Moon's physics-filled Crayon Ball and Exosyphen Studios' roller coaster offering Rail Adventures, there's something for everyone!

So, Where is all this going down? I hear you ask. Well, simply slide on over to: newyearappblowout.com.
