    I just picked up Angry Birds on Friday and me and my friend have finished it 100% in about 4 days because we were THAT addicted to it.

    Now we have completed the game we are looking for someone else that is a casual addictive game. A puzzler or something similar would be good. Thanks for any suggesstions

    Oh well, a few people will surely say "Tilt To Live" or "Doodle Jump" now.
    Don't believe them.

    Puzzle? I am your expert here.

    As nice puzzlers (well suited for casual gamer), I would recommend:

    - Tetryon
    - Azkend
    - PathPix (there's a lite!)
    - Power Gems
    - Sparkle
    or
    - Tumble Jumble

    But I think that after "Angry Birds", "Implode!" would be fitting for you.

    If you really want another game in style of "Angry Birds", try "Crush the Castle".

    What he said! Doodle Jump and Tilt to Live may not be puzzle games, but are very addicting games, and also very casual. Just got Tilt to Live and I really like it. I've had Doodle Jump for a while and have gotten several of my friends addicted to it as well. I have close to 40 hours played and still love playing it.

    Although if you're looking for a puzzler, like he said, Implode is another good one as well.

    I don't have sparkle, but from what I have seen, it's tempting me to press buy :p

    Also, TTL is a nice casual game.

    Oh and I forgot to mention this but games which have lots of levels are good (Like Angry Birds and Implode). We seem to like them better especially when taking turns to beat the levels

    My cup of tea

    Just my personal taste. Tried to choose only games which are clearly meant to be casual:
    :rolleyes:
    First place: Canabalt; Doodle Jump;
    Second place: MiniGore; Captain Ludwig; Labyrinth 1
    Third place: geoSpark;
    Fourth place: Sparkle;
    Fifth place: Fox vs. Duck
    :cool:

    Or something similar. And somehow Labyrinth, geoSpark, Sparkle and Captain Ludwig are a little bit similar - in my opinion. So I did not give a totally useless answer, I hope. Did not read the first post as careful as needed.

    As much as I know there is a version of Tetris available at the app store.

    Ah - sorry, my bad!
    I missed that "something similiar".
    But no offense was intended, was just pointing toward his wish.

    Fling! It doesnt have fixed levels, but has 30 different skill levels with 10,000 puzzles, and various modes including untimed unlock mode and timed arcade modes. It is very addictive because you can improve dramatically with practice.

    Fling! is very similar to Mouse About, which has only one mode (timed) and only one difficulty, but arguably has enough charm to make up the difference. I like both a lot.

    I would add Run! to the list. I have spent dozens hours trying to better my score, and because the order of new obstacles changes each time, it's always a different game. It remains one of my 10 favorite Iphone games.

    if run is a 'casual' game, then i'd like to add meteor blitz (on account of the survival mode).

    they're both equally as tense as the other and each can end equally as fast (though i do die substantially quicker on run)

    otherwise, super turbo action pig, chop chop runner, canabalt and harbour master

    Hmmm, casual...casual...

    I think my favorite games that are casual are:

    Tumbledrop
    Unify
    Sparkle

    I would include Bit Pilot and Power gems, but they are a little tough to be considered casual, I think

    Meteor Blitz is great too, as someone mentioned, but I would not consider it casual.

    I bought all of these games because of your ranking. With the million apps out there, it's hard to pick the best games. Cool post.

    How about EcoPunk?

    It is very addictive and has detailed, polished graphic, interface and smooth gameplay.

    The goal of this game is to catch all rubbish lying on the ground. But be aware - there are cars, scooters and policemen who are trying to stop You.

    I really enjoyed EcoPunk, maybe You will enjoy it as well.

    Here is the random screenshot, found in the web, just to make the topic closer.
