Solomon's Keep and Solomon's Boneyard are pretty awesome. I also think King Cashing needs a lot more recognition than it has gotten.
Most of the suggestions in this thread leave me sort of cold. I do have especially specific tastes, though, so what doesn't work for me clearly works for a lot of other folks. My personal suggestion : Propaganda Lander A "Moon Lander" type game with a nice style and nicely-tuned levels.
What I have on my iPod will post more later as I go through my purchase history. If you want my opinion on any of this let me know! -Amazing Breaker -Ninja Fishing -Glow Fish -Prizma -Mask of Ninja -Dark Nebula 2 -Radiant TD -Blockwick -Fantasy Defense -Swordigo -Mad Acorns -Cut the buttons - Junk Jack And that's it for now! Edit: -landa panda -parachute ninja -seige hero -ducky coffee -rune raiders More to come!
Miss Claire Garden I can't say enough about Miss Claire Garden, one of the most polished, best iOS platformers of ALL TIME!! HUGELY underrated!
Mad Acorn, Duckers, both games have had a fair bit of popularity, but are deserving of much more IMO.
Here's my small list of good games that should have more recognition. =D If you like Shoot'em Up games, you might want to try this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzdwznEtjbc Dark Dot - featuring unique drawing mechanics in a Shoot'em Up genre. probably one of the most unique Shooter in 2011. It's freeee too. Anyone heard of or tried Monster Burner? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cS91yCuaY0 Using your finger(s) you can hurl fireballs at incoming minions. Quite cool game from Ubisoft. Plus its free. If you like addictive puzzle with a match 3 or more mechanic. Try Triple Town ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37Mk3C8Wld0 Last but not least, for lotsa local gameplay fun with friends.. I think this game is great for some insane tapping action: Nightmare Duel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz5qy7VxLrk
Gotta go "Mysterious Castle". 16-bit isometric western style party-based tactical fantasy RPG..... Phew! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RNaSe-14JI&feature=youtube_gdata_player
