Cave has launched a free Lite demo version of its acclaimed bullet-hell shooter Dodonpachi Resurrection. If you haven’t yet purchased the full version, you need to play this, badly.

Dodonpachi Resurrection Lite includes the first level of the game, playable in both Arcade and iPhone modes. The demo also offers a taste of the new SM scoring system, which includes two weapons exclusive to the iPhone version of Dodonpachi Resurrection.

Be aware that both the full and Lite versions of the game are only playable on iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, the iPad, and third-generation iPod Touch devices. Earlier hardware generations are not supported.

It is hard to even imagine what computer-aided design would be like without an application like AutoCAD.  It has redefined the way that an entire generation of engineers look at problems and been a big proponent for PCs in the industrial design sector.

You would have to go back eighteen years to remember the last time that AutoCAD made an appearance on a Mac platform of any sort.  At the time, one Steve Jobs had been shown the door and the company was floundering rather severely.  In response to an indefinite future for the fledgling company, Autodesk decided to close up shop on their Mac OS based development team and focus on the more lucrative PC market.

The plan seemed to pay of for them at the time, but left Mac users out in the cold, forcing them to use emulation tools in order to get the same functionality on their platform of choice.  Fortunately for all involved, that is now a thing of the past as it was recently announced by Autodesk that the AutoCAD franchise will be making a return to the once abandoned Mac universe.

But what would a return of Apple support be without iOS applications as well?  Coined AutoCAD WS, AutoDesk will be releasing an iPad, iPhone and iTouch application that will allow users to both view and edit designs on the fly.  As the sweet icing on the cake, the app will be completely free!  This is kind of a big deal when you consider that a stand alone license of the application could set a user back as much as nearly $4,500.

I just find it staggering how far technology has come in the last twenty years.  Even a decade ago it would be lunacy to consider what we can design on our computers, and now you can do the same thing on a device that you can fit in your pocket.  It will be interesting to see what limitations are placed on the WS versions of AutoCAD, but we will never be ones to look a gift horse in the mouth.

You can look forward to this giant step forward in design and engineering to hit the App Store sometime this fall.

Terry Touch™ – From the mind of a 16 year old working under the tutelage of ustwo™, the company that will trademark anything they get their hands on, comes Terry Touch™.

If you happen to download Terry Touch™, treat it more as a morning coffee replacement than a game. There are four minigames included, all of which have you doing something on your iPhone screen ridiculously fast. I’ve been playing the “Slide” game for the last 5 minutes and I think that I may have broken a sweat. I’m determined to crack the top 10 though… it’s only a matter of time.

Jack McLean, the creator of Terry Touch™, says, “It was the best three weeks I have had! Working alongside fantastic developers and designers was like a dream. I learnt more from creating Terry Touch than I would have learnt from 3 months in a computing lesson, and it was fun! It’s so exciting to be involved with an inspiring company and work with them throughout the creation and release of an iPhone application.”

FREE!

Lyric Legend - It’s not often that I play a music game on the iPhone that I have trouble with. Games like Tap Tap Revenge, Guitar Hero, and Rock Band are all quite forgiving by design, and in turn lose what makes the genre so great on the console. Sadly, I’m getting bored with tapping on the little dots that are flying down my beautiful touch screen.

Instead of using the instruments as the rhythm mechanism, Lyric Legend throws lyric bubbles at you, making you hit them in the order that they are sung in the song. Who knew that tapping on lyrics would be such a challenge? Even with songs that I know quite well I find myself scrambling to pick out the correct next word in the song.

Lyric Legend gives you 3 free songs, with the rest being 99 cents a pop. Maybe it’s a bit steep, but at least you can try the first three for free.

FREE!

Aractroid – Aractroid is a hard game to pin down. If I were being paid to describe it (well, I guess I am!), I would say that it is an color matching game hidden in an action title set on a spider web in space. There you go. The developer may put it a bit better, “Playing as an Aractroid, a cunning and powerful warrior species of spider, you defend your web from the onslaught of the invading electronic spiders that want to wipe out the Aractroid race.”

Basically, you are a robot spider on a web that wants to protect its nest. There are little color changing circles around your web that change your color, and you have to match colors with the enemy to kill it. As you kill more and more enemies, you get an assortment of special abilities and movement options, such as charging and jumping between web junctions.

Being a “color matching game hidden in an action title set on a spider web in space,” it’s hard to describe how the gameplay works, but it is fast. Give it a shot, as Aractroid is free for the month of September.

FREE!

When Twitter acquired Loren Brichter’s acclaimed Tweetie app and made it the official Twitter app on iPhone, it came with the promise that Twitter for iPad was in the works as well. Twitter has just updated Twitter for iPhone to version 3.1, bringing iPad support to the now universal app.

The first thing you notice about Twitter for iPad is that it feels very smooth and intuitive, much like how Loren Brichter’s other apps have felt. The app is far more complex than Twitter for iPhone, though. Swiping across a tweet no longer calls up the reply and favorite options, for example – it’s now used for moving tabs in and out of view, so you can hide or return to a specific user or tweet view that you called up. You can add multiple accounts, and can upload pictures and video, view your lists, and all the other features that have become standard to most Twitter apps, including Twitter for iPhone.

Links are opened in an ingenious way – when you click on a tweet with a link, it opens up a smaller web view of the link, so that you can view it without it taking up the whole screen, but you can expand it to the whole screen if you wish. If you want a quick view of a conversation between people, you can use 2 fingers to drag down from the tweet to open up a view of the last few tweets. Sadly, image hosting services do not open up in-line previews of the images in your stream, you have to click on the links to view the images. Profiles now show a list of 5 users who are considered ’similar’ to that user for you to also follow. Also, links to tweets do not open as a native view in the app, they open up the tweet in the mobile Twitter site.

Twitlonger support is implemented for standard tweets, but not for DMs. The miniature DM reply view also doesn’t show character count, and only lets you edit the DM by calling up the draft, by hitting the new tweet button. It’s very unintuitive, and something that needs to be fixed. There’s a lot of little tweaks that the app needs, as this is clearly a 1.0 release focused on the bigger picture than on minutiae, and there is a lot of complexity to this app that makes little things easy to miss. But, given the state of Twitter apps on the iPad, a Loren Brichter-developed app with a lot of intriguing and new interface features for free (can you say multiple account support?) is welcome. The app is sure to receive future updates as well, making it worth keeping an eye on for iPad-owning Twitter users.

FREE!
