Take on the role of a bounty hunter careening around a stylish cartoon world on the hunt for criminals on the loose. With more than 10 vehicles and four different levels to choose from, Calling All Cars combines demolition derby style action, crazy weapon pickups, humor, and a throwback to classic arcade games.
  • Everyday Shooter (Now $4.99; regularly $9.99): Developed solely by Jonathan Mak, Everyday Shooter won three awards at the Independent Gaming Festival at the 2007 Game Developers Conference.

  • flOw (Now $4.99; regularly $7.99): flOw is a game about piloting an aquatic organism through a surreal biosphere where players consume other organisms, evolve, and dive into the abyss. You can play as one of 5 creatures, each in a unique environment. Lose yourself in the crisp “deep blue” in full HD at 1080p* and 5.1 Surround Sound.
  • PixelJunk Racers (Now $4.99; regularly $6.99): PixelJunk Racers is an addictive slot car racing game that supports 1080p* and features single player and multiplayer fun (up to 7 players simultaneously offline!).
