iPhone and iPod touch 2.0 users can now download a multitude of apps and games from the newly launched App Store, one of which is Bullfrog Touch. It is the first game developed by Outer Level and released for iPhone and iPod touch. Bullfrog Touch has players tilting, flicking, and touching controls to direct their bullfrog through 50 levels of "classic arcade action."

The App Store currently has around 800 apps up for grabs, 200+ of which are free. Their great majority is priced under 10 bucks. Bullfrog Touch is one of these apps, as Outer Level has decided to set its price tag at $7.99. The developers get 70 percent of the sales, while Apple keeps the remaining 30 for maintenance of the App Store.

Classic arcade action comes to iPhone and iPod Touch, but with a twist. Tilt, flick, and touch your way through 50 challenging levels to earn your spot atop the online global rankings. Race against the clock to eat six unique bugs on 13 beautiful maps featuring animated water, lily pads, plants, and other obstacles, the game's description goes.

Some of the main features of this addictive action game for iPhone and iPod touch include:

- Tilt, flick, and touch controls; - 50 increasingly challenging levels; - 13 beautiful maps with animated water, lily pads, plants, and other obstacles; - Eat six bugs, each with its own unique behavior; - Race against the clock; - Bug radar helps you track down your prey; - Track high scores with global rankings; - Pause and restore game play at any time; - Family and child safe gaming.

iPhone and iPod touch users should note that OS 2.0 is required to be able to access the App Store and download content from it. While iPhone users are allowed a free upgrade, iPod touch owners have to pay a $9.99 fee to get OS 2.0 on their devices.

As previously noted, Bullfrog Touch is available from the App Store for USD 7.99. Below are some screenshots from the game:
