iOSnoops is constantly on the lookout for great deals at the App Store, and here are 56 iPhone, iPad and iPod touch apps that recently enjoyed a price drop.

This deal alert includes Flight Control HD, Snuggle Truck, Pulse Volume One, Infinity Blade, Snuggle Truck HD, Puzzle Agent 1 & 2 HD, Sideways Racing, and many others…

Parents need to know that Pulse: Volume One is a music/rhythm game that can get extremely frenetic and fast-paced. The game requires players to tap on the screen in the beat of background music, but they have to tap on specific orbs representing each note. These orbs circle around rings on the screen, and players have to watch as the rings illuminate to figure out when to actually tap the orbs. It gets even more challenging when multiple orbs appear on the screen at the same time, requiring players to use both their hands simultaneously in this extreme brain exercise. All the songs are instrumental so there are no issues with lyrics, and no other questionable content appears in the game. Parents need to know that this game is very challenging and is designed for players who already have experience playing other music games…

When a new gaming platform is getting off the ground, it’s often a struggle to find a great game that’s not only fun to play, but also takes advantage of that platform’s capabilities. The iPad was released shortly over a year ago and now boasts a large library of games. However, there hasn’t been anything I’ve seen on the iPad that I couldn’t already play on a PC or console. I had yet to find a truly unique game that was not only fun to play, but also something I could only experience on the platform. Now comes Pulse: Volume One, from Philadelphia-based developer Cipher Prime, and I am happy to say that it succeeds in filling that void…

The team at Bytejacker put up an awesome video review of Pulse: Volume One – and, as an added bonus, they also have Dylan of @HouseholdHacker for an update on building their own Winnitron 1000! Check it all out at the link below!

Immerse yourself in a one-of-a-kind personal music experience with Pulse: Volume 1, a rhythm game with simple rules. Follow the pulse as it radiates from the center of the screen. Then tap the moving dots in time with the music as the pulse passes. Miss a note or tap it too soon and hear and unsettling zap. (1:01-1:48)

Anthony, Tyler, and Special Guest Walter Lopez (Direct 2 Drive’s community manager) had some pretty sweet things to say about Pulse – it’s early on in the podcast (2:20 – 5:50ish) , but stick around for the whole ‘cast. They’re fantastic.

It just takes a quick look at the website of Cipher Prime to understand the position of the young and talented development team: to produce games marked by a simple but original concept, a sophisticated audio-visual oriented minimalist style, and a certain ephemeral nature. It’s a position confirmed in its entirety by Pulse, which marks the beginning of their projects on iPad, and follows to the letter the three chief aspects listed above – perhaps with excessive zeal concerning the last point on the list …

This music game for iPad hits the sweet spot between difficult and soothing. As the pulse extends out, you tap the circles, which match up to the music and scramble all over the screen. It’s so basic they don’t even bother explaining it to you. But it’s also exhilarating and lovely, and addictive in a way we can’t quite explain either…

This week is the week of music fans. If you like to create sweet melodies and listen to the original compositions by tapping notes, this iPad game is waiting till you download and install it on your iPad.

It can be a nice way of spending your free time. Your gameplay can be a real miracle. You get to be a conductor, master of multi-touch and note-defeater…
