    What games did you end up loving but for some reason just got no love on Touch Arcade or maybe didn't even seem to have much coverage in general? But you wish more people would play them and share their enthusiam? Mine are:

    Faif (wish more ppl to play multiplayer with)
    Rototo
    Mind the Blox
    Bleeding Edge
    Pixel Burger
    Hipsta Chez
    RoboSockets (maybe back in the day?)
    Super Drop Jam
    Pair Solitaire

    I played Spooklands for about a week and got too frustrated with it. Was a good game though.

    Magic Rampage. Awesome game, barely registered on TA -- don't think it even got a review.

    One of my favorites ever. IPad home screen game for sure. Did you read the story behind it on his website?

    I looked it up and it had 98 comments. But I hadn't heard of it. I hope people will keep posting more hidden gems on here.

    I was a big fan of Solomon's Keep & Solomon's Boneyard. They weren't exactly unpopular, but I never thought they got the hype they deserved. I actually still play them. TA reported that the devs were working on another sequel, but that seems like it was over a year ago.

    I loved PDA Games, a nice simple platformer.

    Space Strafer

    It's a niche arcade/high-score game but I love it. Only has 70 players as of now, and it's only a dollar. I'd recommend checking it out. The scoring mechanics take some getting used to, but it's a really fun game.

    App Store link

    You have to connect to Game Center the very first time you boot it up, but after that it logs you in automatically.

    I pu this game into my wish list and forgot about it....at the time I was playing Gemini and was on the fence about whether or not I needed another space shooter. Thanks for the reminder.
    I recall people saying positive things about it.
    What about Space Colors, did you play that one?

    Hope you check it out!

    I put Space Colors on my watch list back when it came out, but due to the mediocre feedback from players on the forums, some apparent bugs, and lack of Game Center (that's a pretty big deal for me) I never tried it out. May give it a shot still.

    Could be still free and i'm sorry for not having supported it in the first place.
    A really cool one-hander highscore chaser.

    Jelly Pop
    By PomPom Games (left ios?)
    No wide-screen and shows still OpenFeint. A lot of control options and Gamecenter via app only. It works on version 8.2

    PS: Great, special, difficult but very rewarding highscore chaser Space Strafer.

    Downloaded it this morning. Fun little game. I wish the whole thing was blocky, the asteroid and ship graphics, and the icon are quite garish, but hey I couldn't do any better. I checked out the forum I don't foresee getting anywhere near some of those high scores though!
