There's heaps of similar games on the AppStore, but some games really stand-out for being unique and creative. Examples: Vetica: A shoot'em up based on the font helevetica. Edge: An awesome game where you control a rolling cube. Beyond Ynth: Reach the end of the level by tipping shapes over. Sword & Sworcery beautiful pixel art experience. Shot Shot Shoot Minimalistic 2-player game. The creativity of these games makes them more of an experience. What other games are unique and innovative?
Robot Wants Kitty - Try name another game out there that revolves around a robot wanting a kitty. Thats right. There isn't. Karoshi - Your goal is to kill the main character instead of saving him. Brilliant! Puzzle Agent - The story revolves around a murder at an eraser factory and short red gnomes. Doesn't get more unique than that.

You forgot an important word in your description... FUN. A game can be super awesome special neat, but at the end of the day, if its not fun to play, it fails as a game. The most fun and creative games for the ipod that i can think of right now are: Dungeon Raid- An intuitive mix of puzzper and rpg that far exceeds puzzle quest(does it count if it mixes two pre-established genres?) Spike Dislike-Boing Boing Boing. So simple, so fun. Definitely worth checkibg out
This is great. You guys are showing me new games to check out! After reading the comments above, I brought Karoshi for a buck. Crex has been raving about it for ages, so finally caved and got it.
A few more to add from me . Spirit , Soosiz , Rolando 1&2 , Sigma , Slice it! , Ragdoll blaster 1&2 . edit : Should I add a reasoning / explanation behind these games like what everyone else did ?
There's a free lite version of Soosiz, if anyone wants to check it out. It's fun, but makes me a little dizzy! Don't have to put a reason. It's just nice to discover creative games, especially the less known ones.
