SpellTower climbing to the top of App Store, only 99 cents

Developer Zach Gage has temporarily slashed the price of his word puzzle game SpellTower, which has recently ascended the charts in the App Store.

Today Gage (@helvetica), excited over the game's popularity, tweeted: "SpellTower is doing a 1/2 OFF 24hr Sale Holy Crap, I'm Near the Top, This is Crazy! Help an Indie Take On Rovio+Zynga!"

Rovio and Zynga have been fighting neck-and-neck for top spot with their best-selling iOS games Angry Birds and Draw Something, respectively.

For a short time, you can grab SpellTower for 99 cents in the App Store. The current version has gained a strong five-star rating with 264 ratings.
