BulletAsylum and Navigon GPS are this week's Windows Phone Red Stripe Deals

Last week’s Xbox Red Stripe Deal knocked it out of the park by offering Modern Combat 4 – a game that had never been on sale before – at a significant discount. But we can’t expect a new game to go on sale every week… Not if we don’t want our hearts broken. The latest discounted Xbox Windows Phone game has been on sale twice before, most recently in June. Yep, UberGeekGames’ BulletAsylum is 99 cents once again. We’ll try to contain our enthusiasm.

Meanwhile, the non-Xbox Red Stripe Deals are actually a lot more exciting. Indie Minecraft clone Discovery from Noowanda (?) is only 99 cents, which should please the construction crowd. And all three versions of Garmin’s GPS app Navigon (USA, Europe, and Australia) are half off as well. Descriptions and Store links after the break.

BulletAsylum (Windows Phone 7 and 8)

Regular price: $2.99 Sale price: $.99 Download size: 16 MB Store Link

BulletAsylum is a modern take on the arcade classic Missile Defense. Aliens rain down from the sky and it’s up to your turrets to stop them. You can use a single finger to fire all your weapons at one area or two fingers to split the fire. Game modes include the extremely easy Arcade, an endless Survival mode that has no Achievements for some reason, and the frustratingly hard Architect mode.

It’s easy to get into BulletAsylum thanks to the pretty colors and flashing lights. The unlocking system is decent, and the Achievements are attainable for most mortal men and women. Still, I found the gameplay far too simplistic to maintain interest; the lack of depth really keeps the game from having much staying power. At least it's only a buck right now!

Discovery (Windows Phone 7 and 8)

Regular price: $1.99 Sale price: $.99 Download size: 17 MB Store Link

Survivalcraft is the king of Windows Phone Minecraft clones, but that doesn’t mean it’s the only game in town. As you’d expect from this type of game, it allows players to explore a large, blocky virtual world, gather resources, and build things. This one has some especially nice features like cloud saves and online sharing, so it definitely looks worth a buy.

Features:

smooth, high quality 3D graphics with up to 60 FPS on 1st generation phones
realistic light and shadows
giant world of blocks
World Browser for sharing your worlds with others
Backup/Cloud system
different times of day
atmospheric music
TNT :)

Navigon USA (Windows Phone 7 and 8)

Regular price: $49.99 Sale price: $23.99 Download size: 11 MB Store Link

Windows Phone Central’s own Daniel Rubino proclaims Navigon to be his favorite GPS app, so you know it’s got to be good. Developed by Garmin, Navigon has all the advanced features you could possibly want in a GPS app. It also looks about a million times nicer than the free apps our phones come with. However, it’s quite pricey by default. Even at half off, it’s still kind of expensive – but you get what you pay for.
