    Yep, another "Best of" Thread. Hopefully this is creative enough to keep the haters at bay.

    If your anything like me, you have a never ending supply of 1 dollar games, and love picking up a new one just about every week (try to make sure its not every day). As a result, people are constantly looking for dollar games to try out.

    List your favorite $0.99 games. Not sale games regular price.

    If looking for good .99 games I suggest looking at what Donut Games have listed. Most are very good games.
    Sorry but I'm not listing them all.

    For a one buck fix, you can't really go wrong with most games at the top of the charts. Though people claim to despise Doodle Jump and Angry Birds, I'm sure those games kept them entertained for atleast a few minutes
    Hell, even Pocket God is worth 99 cents

    For the most part yes, but I think Helsing's Fire is one of the best puzzlers out there and They Need to Be Fed is the best dollar platformer I've seen. Those titles have not hit the top 25. I"ll add the 3 titles you mentioned to the list. But I propose that you add your personal faves.

    edit: Not to mention Hook Worlds which is one of my favorite iOS games ever!

    I am 99% sure Helsing's Fire was in the top 25 at one time. If not, it certainly deserves to be. I'm not so sure about They Need to Be Fed though.

    Castle Frenzy - An awesome 'defend the castle' type game
    Flight Control - Why didn't anyone list this?
    Phoenix - Bullet Hell. Love the ship upgrade system
    Ninja Assassin - Love the blood, the controls are not as bad as some say

    Some other good games for $0.99 have been mentioned, so I won't repeat them.

    I actually hope this thread doesn't go to irrelevance. I really appreciate a go-to thread for .99 games.

    I thought Solomon's Keep and Solomon's Boneyard were two really good (and somewhat underrated) games for $0.99.

    I hope so as well. Hopefully I'll maintain my geek level and keep the spreadsheet going for everyone's votes.

    I'm tracking but not counting peoples votes for games that were on sale for a dollar. The top games will only be games that are always a buck. I will update the first post to show current top dollar games as per everyone's input.

    Thanks for all the posts.

    After just one day we have 7 games with 3 notes. They are...

    Angry Birds
    Cat Physics
    Cover Orange
    Cut the Rope
    Fruit Ninja
    Helsing's Fire
    Hook Worlds
