Apple on Thursday rolled out another of its limited-time-only iOS App Store sections, this time featuring 24 apps on sale for 99 cents each, including popular titles like Pixelmator and GoodReader, as well as hit games Shadowmatic and The Room Two.
Aptly named "Amazing Apps & Games," the collection features a total of 24 titles spanning a range of genres, from photo taking utilities to business aids and beyond. Not including educational children's apps, half of today's selected sale items are games, including indie hits like Goat Simulator. A number of apps up for offer rarely go on sale.
Apps priced at 99 cents include:
Games:
While many "Amazing Apps & Games" have been around for some time, Apple's sale is a good opportunity to stock up on quick fix games, popular tools normally priced well above a dollar and franchise pieces missing from your collection.
Apple features a number of app collections on the iOS App Store's homepage in an attempt to promote app discovery for iPhone and iPad users. Other specials include a free "App of the Week," curated and genre-specific collections, first-party apps and select third-party apps compatible with services like Apple Pay.

I think they make up what they loose with quantity.
Any advices about which are the games not to miss?

I'm sure the developer agrees on a case-by-case basis.
That is one of the controversial parts of the Amazon Appstore, they have right to discount your app (up to 40% I believe) without any compensation or advance permission. The free daily apps on the Amazon store are with permission, but the devs receive no compensation.
