Sega iPhone game sale: ChuChu Rocket! and Sonic 4 going cheap

Sega has lowered the prices of two of its most recent App Store releases, Sonic The Hedgehog 4, Episode 1 and ChuChu Rocket!. Both garnered Bronze Awards from Pocket Gamer back in October.

In Sonic you play as the titular spiky blue hedgehog, sprinting through various 2D platform-based worlds. Levels usually involve, at some point, hitting something at speed that you couldn't possibly see coming, and then being forced to carefully move through the rest of the level in a generally muted manner.

Chu Chu Rocket!, on the other hand, is a fast paced puzzle title where you help guide the musine ChuChus to exits by placing directional arrows on the grid-like levels, while taking care to avoid the predatory KapuKapus.

Sonic The Hedgeehog 4, Episode 1 has been reduced to £3.99 / $6.99 / €5.49, and the iPhone version of ChuChu Rocket! is down to £1.79 / $2.99 / €2.39. ChuChu Rocket! HD for the iPad has also seen its price cut to £2.99 / $4.99 / €3.99. There are no details on how long these drops will last, so if you're interested in either title you had better make a purchase sharpish.
