It's an oldie and hasn't been discussed much in ages, but it shows up on pretty much everyone's games list on GC and with good reason.

If you want to go out of the "Tetris" style, do try:
- Quell
- Block Rogue
- Trainyard
- Cut The Rope
- Dungeon Raid
Anyone know anything about Robot wants Kitty? It looks fun judging by the screenshots but I'm not sure thats enough to go on.
It looks fun and it's free. What else do you need to go on?
Oh, I didn't realize that. Lol.

Rockefellers. Skull and Bones. Microsoft. Al Qaeda. A Cabal of Bankers. The melting point of steel. What do these things have in common? Wake up sheeple, the landfill wasn't even REAL!
Thanks everyone for the hints

I'm surprised MinoMonsters is apparently still being worked on. When I saw the first screenshots I was sure the dev had the next big thing but they completely blew it.

Hey guys, I wanted to post about a game that's been developed by someone I used to work with back in the Krome days and I think is really neat.
Train Defense is a new take on the tower defense genre - you control a train that moves around the play field (you lay down track for it with your finger) shooting invading enemies with your upgradable carriages.
It's universal, only a buck, and fun.
In other news, has anyone else dramatically reduced their console gaming time since they got their iOS device? Not having to bore my wife with whatever console game I was playing has been awesome.
Sounds right up my alley, looks pretty charming. $1 and universal seal the deal.

I was pretty sure those notes count as part of your combo, so you're penalized for not hitting them.
Adventure Bar Story looks like something I will exceedingly enjoy.

I hope it isn't repetitive or completely void of plot.

Fuck yeah! Helsing's Fire is an awesome puzzle game and has a ton of charm, it's one of my iOS favorites. Thanks for reminding me that I should replay it (and double dip for my iPad, I think they are separate versions).
Thought maybe you were in Canada and didn't want to waste the 5.0 MB against your cap.
Anyone get Dungeon Crawlers yet?

Looks neat, but the price of an iCade is still a little too up there for me to consider right now. Is the Atari Arcade compatible?
Holy shit @Shogun. Grazing mechanic, iCade support, fuck yesssss when does it release? Edit: TA says week or so, and that it looks amazing video doesn't do it justice.
Did someone say puzzle game? Dungeon Raid.
So nothing that great this week? Seems like Paper Monsters is a dud.

Grr, damn 16GB iPad, I can't seem to free up enough space to install the Rage HD update. I'm at like 1.9GB free at this point after uninstalling a bunch of stuff, and it still says there isn't enough space. I really don't want to delete any other apps. I hate that you lose progress when you delete an app.
Alexios
Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Got the Rage HD update and can't really notice any improvements. Still didn't add better button placement options for iPad2 either. And there are still performance issues here and there and the occasional model (characters or other stuff too) popping into view out of nowhere. Oh well, still a fun game, new levels look good.

Man Triple Town really screwed up. I mean the game is simple and awesome but why would I pay 5 dollars for unlimited turns when there are tons of other games that are 99c and offer a lot more game. If they just made it a 99cent app and made it unlimited turns it would make 10-15x more money.
Shit, I forgot this incredible game in my previous suggestions post. Dungeon Raid is awesome!
EDIT: added!

I loved the first game on DS. Hopefully this gets localized but I doubt it will.
It's a Metroidvania but the levels are small. Not a bad game, but there's IAP to get more levels. You only have one to start with in the free version.
Yeah, I've been thinking about modding mine with Seimitsu.
NervousXtian
Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
I didn't notice there was any more levels, hmm.. fun little game.. very short, but fun. Not sure I really wanted too much more though, because I didn't pay for it.
Worth a d/l and the 10-20mins it takes to beat.
Also, re: puzzle games
Check out Jabeh.. not sure if it's $5 worth of fun, I think I paid considerably less for it, but it's a nicely polished game, and relaxing.
There's a free version as well. with 50 levels. Which is more than enough to know if it's your thing or not.
Holy shit... how did I miss that Lumines was on iOS? Played this game to no end when it was first released for the PSP. Classic.
Thanks.
Dynamite Shikoku
Congratulations, you really deserve it!
Radballs is better
YES. Can be a bit confusing at first cause it throws more stuff at you than Lumines but fuck yeah this game is among the most fun and intense experiences on the platform for me.
It's $4. I paid it without question. The game is awesome, and I've put a ton of time into it.
Go look at a Vita or 3DS thread. Those systems have software prices worth complaining about. Complaining about $4, though? Come on.
The WSOP Hold'Em app (made by Glu I think) is pretty good and does what you ask.

Quick question iGAF. I have an iPad and an iPhone with "Where is my water?" installed on both (same universal app). If I buy the new levels on one device, it won't be transferred to the other I guess? I need to buy it twice?
Flick Kick Field Goal has an update out that adds new unlockable balls, and I've got four codes for the Gaf. First in, first served
I'd like to try it!

I almost jumped at this, but I'm not sure I can deal with the 'funny' storytelling.
Played about 45 minutes of this, it's awesome.
Runs reasonably well and is easy to figure out what to do.
I like the mechanics, both the combat and the stats. Really feels like playing a modern incarnation of Pools of Radiance (only the combat of course) to me. I especially like the DnDesque advancement, when you level up you get a couple of HPs and other stat bonuses, you aren't going to have 10,000 HPs or an armor class of 500. Has a nice old school feel in that respect.
It's well written, I'm digging the Ghostbusters homage. It's witty but not what I'd call super funny. I'd definitely recommend it, especially at its price.
Sorry, you just missed out. We are going to give some away on Twitter (@pikpokgames), if you want another shot at one though. We also have a free version, Flick Kick Fieldgoal Kickoff, which is about to be updated too, if you want to try it right away.
I wholeheartedly agree. $4 is an awesome price and I'm looking forward to updates.
Edit. Taking about Triple Town

picked up baseball superstars 2012: 30 million downloads edition (lmao)
Like how I feared, this game is a lot harder than last year in a 'come on kid... get some g points to help yourself ;P' kinda way.
Playing my batter right now on normal, and season 1 is pretty brutal. You barely get any condition back if you win a match, and you lose many if you mess up a 'in match event', which is pretty easy when your stats aren't great.
It also cost a bunch of condition to train, which means you gotta be a lot more conservative.
btw: is morality and condition the same thing?
Not sure if I dig the new visuals... It's like they got a whole art team for their recent games?

Thanks for the recommendation. I love me some TBS. Bought.
WHOA! Epoch update is sweet! Already had all the best items and tons of money but they added really expensive top tier stuff and Ultra mode is great. I'm still a little rusty but it seems like a solid challenge. The new tiered item system makes it much easier to figure out upgrades for people too. Did they not have IAP currency before? Hmm. If they didn't change the money earning rate, this is a pretty good implementation.
Ghostbusters references make me worry slightly (are references to pop culture ever that funny?) but your impressions sound positive. I've just picked this up and I'll give it a play.
