Long plane ride coming up, need some games to play. Not super interested in RPGs, I love platformers. My absolute favorite iOS game of all time was Super Quickhook. Thanks!

You can try out the other hook games if you don't have em already. (Hook Worlds and Hook Champ).
As for platformers, there's a whole bunch. Off the top of my head:

Swordigo
Edge/Edge Extended
Bean's Quest
League of Evil 1/2
Paper Monsters
1 Bit Ninja
Mirror's Edge
Robot Wants Kitty
Lostwinds
Mos Speedrun
Sonic CD

Definitely a lot more though.

Edit: also check out Orangepixel's platformers like Stardash and Inc

Swordigo. It's a Platformer with RPG spirit, I know you're not interested in RPGs, but the platforming aspects are excellent. HARD game, very challenging.

Im looking for something around the 99-5.00 price range, something with lots of longevity, graphics don't matter but it can't look like it was done in a minute (I'm guilty of this myself but I am giving that game away for free as I believe customers should have value for money after all) any way back on the point, it has to late against all day gaming for at least a week+

Go pick up Dungeon Raid. It's $2.99 (I believe), is an RPG/Bejeweled hybrid, and has an infinite amount of replay value. It's not really updated anymore (some people said the dev is working on a huge update, or a sequel) but it doesn't really need an update, you can't improve perfection.

It's got a Lite version you can try.

If your a fan of puzzle platformers I'd suggest Bobby carrot forever, because there is heaps of puzzles, 15hrs + worth of gameplay, and it's fun and addictive.

I'd also strongly recommend 2 of the already mentioned, beans quest and junk jack, again the reason being TONS of gameplay and replayability.

I would have spent at least 40 hours on junk jack alone. And about 20 hours on Bobby carrot forever and quite a few hours on beans quest as well.. Mainly going back trying to get all the badges.

Pick up "bag it" too while it's free if you haven't already.
Great little puzzle game that makes time fly while your flying. Lol

Also, you can't go wrong with any of the sonic series.

Cavorite is similar to LOE

frogatto is a decent oldskool style platformer.

Awesome land - another retro platformer.

They need to be fed - abstract platformer

Chop chop caveman

Toyshop adventures - similar to little big planet- quite a hidden gem these days

Have you tried Super Crossfire?

(it's not a platformer, but a galaga-esque type of game)

Just noticed Geometry Wars Touch is still a buck. Is it worth having if I already have a lot of DSS's?

Nope! Infinity Field and Ballistic SE are SO mush better, and even better yet is Inferno+

Can you recommend me some good strategy or RPG games? Or some of the best games of the appstore no matter which genre is. Thank you

*cracks knuckles* "Don't worry guys, I got this!"


Go get Dungeon Raid. It's a mix between a RPG and Bejeweled/PuzzeleQuest. There's a Lite version you can try out.

It's my all time favorite app (looks at sig), and it has near infinite replay value.
