Amazon ports mobile games to iOS

Perhaps due to poor sales of the Fire phone, Amazon has decided to bring four of its exclusive mobile games to iOS. Namely, the horror game Lost Within, haunted adventure game ‘Til Morning’s Light, arcade puzzle game To-Fu Fury, and sci-fi adventure Tales from Deep Space. There is no release date yet for the games. But these will come with a premium price of US$6.99, just so gamers won’t be bombarded with in-app purchases.
