    Battle of the Block and Smallworld are really nice. Smallworld has ZERO ai for playing by yourself but it's fun with friends/family.

    Over the course of the last year I've developed nothing but two-player same device iPad games... and they're all still free for now!
    Have a look at http://versuspad.com ... like Ogs, City Bucks, Spikeball for two, and a new one upcoming! The newest one available is Free the Fobbles.

    Please help spread the word to your friends if you like these games, it means a lot to me as single developer.

    Swipe up across the screen to deliciously slash fruit like a true ninja warrior. With three games modes in single player, it is indeed a very satisfying game ever.:)

    'Shot Shot Shoot' is fun for one or two players on the same device.

    It’s a wonderful party game and casual enough to be played for a few minutes, yet deep enough to keep the competition going for an hour. i think it's the best single device multiplayer iPad game.

  16. Infinity field hd, fruit ninja hd, neon battle hd, ice rage, and a lot of the air hockey games are all one ipad multiplayer games that I like. I wonder if the new Virtua tennis has this feature cause it would be awesome if it did.

    My friends aren't fans of 'traditional' board games (Scrabble, Risk, Monopoly, Carcassonne) so we've tried to dig up alternatives.

    Bump for the joy that is... OLO Game! Hands down, the most we've and I have had in a long time. It feels a bit like a mix between pong and Bocce (if you can imagine that, haha) and does it extremely well.

    Other worthwhile mentions:

    2. Marble Mixer - all three 'boards' keep things very fun and competitive.

    3. Table Tennis HD is always a blast, as is Air Hockey and Foosball.

    4. Znipball is a creative work-around on the tried and tested Air Hockey - the mechanic works surprisingly well. There's a lite version out as well, try it out!

    5. Fumble (seatch for it) is worth a try as well - a fun picture matching game (split screen).

    6. Foosball HD - controls take a little time getting used to, but fun afterward!

    7. Multiponk - fun, but not enjoying it as much as other people apparently have (got a bit too stale for me, quickly).


    Keep the suggestions rolling in!
