    Hey all! Lately, I've almost only been wanting to play games on my iPhone in portrait mode. I'm not talking puzzlers, I'm wanting something with a little more action, skill, or "not-being-a-puzzle-game." What are some of the best games you've played that are either portrait-only or can be played either way?

    Here's a quick list of my current stuff:
    Smash Bandits
    Gurk III
    Doodle Jump
    Slay

    Despite being a puzzle game Pixel Defenders Puzzle is worth considering.

    No kidding. Especially now that the game is a completely premium app and all IAPs that were in it have been stripped away. :) It's a shame that the game didn't get any attention post-update. It's a Must Have.

    I'm not against puzzle games at all. I just think they're easier to find in portrait. I have had Pixel Defenders Puzzle in the past; great game. A lot of stuff I've seen posted so far has been new, while many things (Temple Run, of course) are old favorites I've deleted.

    Keep them coming!

    Good call. Just downloaded it, and The Tapping Dead is lots of fun.

    I've also been enjoying Little Galaxy and Indiana Stone, so thanks for those recommendations, Exact-Psience!

    Does anyone know of any portrait mode Tower Defense games that are optimized for iPhone 5+?
