10. Skee-Ball ($0.99)

Disney’s driving platformer JellyCar 2 has proven extremely popular among App Store customers in its first week of release. The title ends Rock Band’s three-week reign as the iPhone’s top-grossing game app, despite touting a much lower price point.

Gameloft’s arcade-styled racer Asphalt 5 also sees a big first week, and finishes ahead of id Software’s recently released iPhone port of Doom in the daily sales charts. Command & Conquer: Red Alert drops six spots to take eighth place, meanwhile, as The Sims 3 and Tetris move up to finish at sixth and seventh.

This week also marks the first time ngmoco’s online shooter Eliminate Pro has finished among the App Store’s top-grossing game apps. Its appearance is notable, since the game is available as a free download; all revenue is earned through optional in-app purchases that earn players additional experience points and upgrades. Given Eliminate Pro’s success in the App Store’s charts, other developers will likely follow suit with similar release strategies in the future.
