Assault Android Cactus $4.99 (75% off, matching the all-time low)
Slick arcade-style twin-stick shooter with a pumpin' soundtrack. Clear out arenas full of robots, build up combos, and go for a high score. A large roster of characters offer a wide variety of playstyles. There's also 4-player local co-op.
Cactus is probably the single best mastery/arcade style twin-stick shooter out there. Don't let the cute looks fool you, while this game is solid to just enjoy, the chaining and level design offer great challenge if you want it, and the way each character changes both the basic play and the way you chain a level show a just fantastic design level.
It usually goes $5 in sales, but it's still crazy we can get games that good for so little.
