Looking at my platform folders.... Kid Vector - I love platform games and with vector graphics this makes this game great in my view, plays veryw ell. Manos - The Hand of Fate - Got a very tough review here at Touch Arcade but i think its a great nod to the old NES classics. Run Kitty Run - Great graphics, good controls, wellw orth checking Commander Cool/ Commander Pixman - Two great retro style platformers, a lot of levels for your money PDA Games - I've mentioned this a few times, its a superb basic platformer, simple old skool graphics but a lot of levels and a lot of fun. A great game
Wow! Thanks to Darth Ronfar for that detailed work on the first index page of the thread! Here are some over-looked/under-rated games that I've really enjoyed and are still on my device: Fall of Angels - iOS exclusive JRPG Knights of the Phantom Castle - small scale puzzle real time strategy with RPG elements Partia: The Broken Lineage - strategy turn based combat RPG Doomsday II: Legions of Hell - first person shooter with tons of free DLC (from the iOS developers of Shadow Warrior) Cars and Guns 3D - racing/combat arcade game Battles and Castles - 3D turn based strategy Silversword - first person RPG Football Management RPG - text based management RPG Dungeon Heroes - slower paced campaign based action RPG Zombie Glider - indie endless "runner" Aurum Blade - KRPG hack 'n slash (currently free) Guardian Saga - smaller scale retro JRPG (great Dragon Warrior homage) 180 - color matching puzzle shooter (better than it sounds) Turbo Flick Demon GPU - flick based arcade game Soccer Puzzle League - match-3 "combat" puzzle game (similar to Dungeon Raid). Meow Meow Happy Fight - zany dual stick shooter +1 to QuestLord; but as a top 200 game and Touch Arcade forum's Game of the Week when release I'm not sure it's been un-noticed.
Growtopia growtopia and growtopia. Screw every other game, I've given them all up for growtopia. Going to have to start a growtopians anonymous group.
Dunno what you mean by Xenome no longer works I have it on iPod 5 running 6.1 and it isn't bad for me
Sure, No problem... Thanks for the additions.. Been trying to keep this thread updated... Been a bit busy... I know there is some confusion as to whats on the first page it's everything I took from the thread into 1 list.That makes it alot easier for someone to read then having to skim threw a whole thread.So everyone that's posted has helped out in making it. As for what is a hidden gem obviously a game like MC3 doesn't really fit, but if someone wanted to add it I figured why not. Yes, there are still some games mentioned more than once but I don't feel like that's a problem. I've tried to get this thread stickied for reasons of this topic coming up again as it just has again... but oh well. I have no friggin idea...lol
This is a bit biased. But check out Aiko Island! It was our first game and has 5 Stars across the board. Nissa Campbell of TA gave it a 4 Stars review with this quote: if I could play just one game in this genre, Id seriously consider choosing this one. Unfortunately it completely bombed, but we are still really proud of it. This is because everyone we show it to ends up becoming totally addicted and loving it. We went totally overkill on the depth of mechanics, worlds, music, animation, level design...everything. It ended up taking 8 months of complete and has 126 levels. Give it a go and let us know what you think! Jon
Unknown Orbit is a really fun and emersive 3D Tiny Wings like game with an awesome dynamic soundtrack. Didn't make nearly the impact that it should have in the media.
I bought Dungeon Village this weekend ($3.99) and I ended up spending ten hours playing it Sunday. Basically it is a village managing game, but you manage a village in a fantasy RPG world, so heroes go through your town and buy items from your shops, etc. Super addictive if you like village sims + retro rpg. There is a free trial version you can try as well.
Maybe I'm a bit biased but I think my game Book Stacker hasn't gotten the attention that it deserves. Great little app to kill a minute or two while you're waiting for something. https://itunes.apple.com/app/book-stacker/id625975059?ign-mpt=uo%3D5
Cavern is a very decent roguelike that is easily overlooked. It just got a total re-write incorporating ally NPCs, secret rooms, and other changes that make it stand out against other roguelikes. It's unassuming and easily overlooked but a lot of fun. The current build crashes sometimes but a fix is in the works.
+1 to Cavern. I have spent many hours with this game already and I only got it about a week ago. It is the rogue-like I've most enjoyed on IOS.
Is there video of the game anywhere? I couldn't find any on youtube or your website. I always like to at least see a few seconds of gameplay before a purchase.
