Hundreds worthy of being the first January game in the OP then?
On pedigree alone, probably (Canabalt, Gasketball). But yes it also appears to be fantastic from what I've played.

Once you hit 60 seconds you beat that level. Each level is split into sections: Line, Triangle, Square, Pentagon, Hexagon. It just helps you know how far you have made it without looking at the time.
Your goal is to reach hexagon (60 secs) to complete a level. Every 10 seconds your shape grows (every 15 secs between 30 and 60.)

Oh god, space agency is going to all new star soccer levels of addiction isn't it...
Hundered is slick. But I'm just not feeling it. It encourages multi-touch right away but I just cover the screen with my fat digits and insta-die.
Interested in repulze impressions. Close to biting on that one as well

I modified the "2012/December haul of games" section in the OP to be inclusive of games 'recently discovered on GAF'. This to have an excuse to add Space Agency to that list, it deserves it.
Any objections?
That makes some sense. I'm sure we're going to discover some gems that we missed.
I think we should be starting an archive area and link to each month's thread instead of cluttering up the OP with old picks from other months. That way people that are looking for recommendations can click through the archives, and people who visit monthly can just see what's fresh.
My plan was to gradually whittle down the 2012 haul as new games pop up. Might make more sense to have a 'new releases' section and a 'also currently hot shit on GAF' section (already moving in that direction tbh!) rather than 'this month'/'last month' sections.
Past |OT|s are currently linked in the Additional Threads section.
Oh, I didn't even see the old threads linked. I think our OP may be suffering from feature creep...lol.

Thank you! I waited instead of buying useless apps, and cashed out $25 into Amazon credit.
wow thanks for mentioning this! I'd given up on getting anything worthwhile from this service. $25 amazon credits redeemed

I've used several of these services but they always end poorly. I think I'm done with them for awhile.
Based on my experience, freemyapps is the most reliable service out of them. They have a steady stream of sponsor apps, and iTunes cards are always in stock.

Also a thank you, redeeming for my final $10 from the site.
Freemyapps and Appcasher both work for me.

It's a pretty good Wipeout type time trial racer at this point. They said they are releasing more modes. Great so far.
I was hardcore on freemyapps for some days back when it started, but I stopped because the hassle of installing a bunch of random apps isn't worth it for me anymore. I recently started trying my luck daily on freeappslots after seeing it mentioned in the thread, I weirdly enjoy dealing with that turd of a site as it's almost a game on itself.

Now that Wario64 is banned, we have room for one more.
As an aside, picked up Mini Motor Racing over the holiday. It's probably my new favorite micro racer. Very simple, fun controls, and whole lot of content. Very cool package. Not sure if it's still free, but it was for a while.

Has anyone played Hundreds on an iPhone (or Touch)? I saw elsewhere that the game is hard to play on the small screen.

Yeah steering in repulze is the biggest issue right now. It's not broken by any means but it just doesn't feel right. Still an OK game though but not sure how long it will stay in the rotation.
I played it an iPhone and it was fine, though I have tiny hands.

Ummm...level 20 and 21 in Hundreds. What's the deal here...
Haha, the fun is just getting started. Having a hell of a time with 38 at the moment.

Hundreds is great. Ciphers in it are a nice touch and are fun. I got stuck on the 4th one though. At first it seemed like it's a very long anagram with all words jumbled together, but I'm not so sure anymore.

randomly decided to play reckless racing 2 again after the iphone 5 update. love the new (well august update) drift stuff. I usually get crazy frustrated in drifting modes, but when you get a good run... feels good.

From the screenshots, the text is markedly clearer than the ugly muddy filter they put all over the pixel art. IMO text should be the last of your worries compared to that.
I'd be playing in Japanese, so text is always of primary concern. But that's good to know. Yeah, I can't say I care for the filter they applied to the game from the screenshots I saw in iTunes.

Is the Chaos Rings on freeappslots the HD version or just iPhone one? I was thinking about trying it out, but the resolution on iPhone games bothers me when I play them on iPad.
