Star Horizon

This week's big stories revolved around the return of one popular app to the Apple App Store and the death of another. Flappy Bird developer Dong Nguyen, announced on Twitter that the mobile game sensation will eventually make a return to the App Store but "not soon." Meanwhile, Twitter pulled its #Music app and told current users it will only continue to work until April 18. Besides the possible rebirth of an old app, and the demise of a high-profile app, it was a slow week for App Store news and releases.

Here are this week's most noteworthy App Store and Cydia releases (03/16/14 to 03/22/14). Apple's Free App of the Week is Ridge Racer Slipstream. The game will be free on the App Store until 03/27/14.

Tabasco Interactive has released the trailer to their new game Star Horizon. The plot follows a pilot named John and his ship's artificial intelligence, Ellie, who must work together to discover what happened 1,000 years after the war between The Inter Galactic Corporation (aka the Federation) and the Rebels.

Star Horizon is an on-rail shooter where players can choose to fight for either the Federation or the Rebels. Tabasco Interactive promises that the game will include plenty of intense and immersive space battles, lots of dark humor and the ability to "write your own galactic story and master your destiny." Players will also be able to upgrade their ship and weapons, earn achievements, and use swipe controls instead of a virtual joystick.
