    I have been searching for 2 player same device iPad games for hours a day recently, I've exhausted all possible search terms I can think of, and I've been surprised by how few there seem to be! I'm looking mainly for action puzzle type games, simple turn based games and Tower Defence games.
    So far I've found these good quality games:

    Double bubble HD
    Crazy Caps HD
    Piyo Blocks 2
    Splash Duel HD
    Greedy Bankers Vs The World
    Disc Drivin
    Great Little War Game
    Fieldrunners

    I'm aware of games like 10 pinshuffle, Touch Hockey, Globulous and the obvious Chess and hidden object games, and am not looking for board games( although we quite like Loot The Spook!)
    However, at this stage I'm willing to give most things a try!

    Maybe im missing something, but can anyone recommend anything else please?

    Ready Steady Bang
    Goggle Frog
    Orbit1

    There's more I've encountered but don't have installed anymore. These are just the ones my son loves (along with Slot Racing HD, and various board games).

    Thanks for the help guys! I actually have some of those, and tried some of the others.

    Are there any super puzzle fighter/bust a move clones, or head to head match 3 games?
    Also strategy turn based/ RTS games?

    I can't believe how difficult it seems to be to find good games of these type, or any other same device games for that matter!

    If you liked Great Little War Game, there's a big sequel coming out early next month - Great Big War Game. (See what we did there, lol).

    As you'd expect from a sequel it has more of everything but the pass and play and asynchronous online modes have recieved a lot of attention for playability etc.

    Not a bad one, but I'm convinced there must be some hidden gems!
    It's become a bit of a mission for me now, which the mrs isn't to pleased with.....:rolleyes:

    Just in case anyone comes across this thread I thought I'd post anything, IMHO, that seems pretty good. There seems to be quite a few that would get downloaded then removed straight away, but I'm looking for the games more likely to stay on my iPad a while. Theme aside, as not everyone will like the look of a game, here's a couple more:

    Flick Champions
    Brick People
    Battlestar Commander
    Total War Battles

    Please add anything else!
     
  9. Ice rage
    Neon battle hd
    Infinity field hd

    These three are really good

    I am shocked that there isn't a bust-a-move clone or game that allows you to play 2 people on the same iPad!

    I have been searching for it for a while now, and just ran into this thread... Any updates where someone could help me find a decent clone to play on the same iPad?

    [Edit]

    Sorry, while I'm at it, the games I usually end up playing are:

    Poker Pals
    Sword & Poker (iPhone, though...)
    Traffic Gods (we "make it up" to be 2-player)
    Flight Control (we "make it up" to be 2-player)

    Raiding Company is a good one, and you play 2-player on the same ipad.

    I thought Flight Control HD was 2-player on one iPad?

    @drelbs:

    I guess you're right, I'm sorry. I always played the single player mode with my wife in multi-touch, started in the iPod, just with two people controlling the planes instead of one, so I just assumed that there was no official 2-player mode.

    Thanks for correcting this :)

    The couple I have on my iPad not already mentioned.

    Multiponk (actually 4-player on a single ipad)
    Stratosphere (one on one Tower Defense game, where you build towers to defend and send creeps at your opponent. Pretty fun)
