Super Blast 2is out on iTunes, but if you want a slightly different version for free, then get the original.Super Blastcosts nothing today, and you might like it! Judging the game based onSuper Blast 2, these titles are scrolling shooters that could be considered “okay” at best, but get away with simple gameplay and deaths that come from nowhere thanks to the visuals. It really is a pretty game with a fantastic art style....
