Aqua Globs
Another game with a path tracing mechanic, but this time you are combining like globs with each other in order to eliminate them from the screen. Blue globs can only combine with Blue globs and Orange with Orange. Meanwhile Green globs can combine with either Orange or Blue. If a Blue and Orange collide, you lose a life and get only 3 lives per game.

Fling!
A puzzle game the likes of which we've seen before, but this one has gained a bit of traction with our readers. From the developers of Fuzzle, Fling! offers a simple puzzler in which you must eliminate all the furballs off the screen through a series of swipes. When a furball gets flung into another one, it will knock it off screen. The video shows it off well:

Funky Hoops
Described as one of the better basketball games for the iPhone, FunkyHoops offers a lighthearted full court experience. The game uses a virtual d-pad and buttons for controls which take some getting used to. Both QuickPlay and League play is offered. A Lite version is available to try it out, and the full version recently went on sale for $0.99.

Medieval
Medieval is another in the Castle Defense genre of games where you must defend against the coming onslaught of invaders. Medieval makes it more interesting by adding an actual firing and aiming mechanic, requiring you to do more than just tap on your enemies. The game has been described as a clone of Flash game Bowmaster. You can upgrade to various advanced weapons as you earn money by killing the oncoming invaders.

And Wolfenstein
Huh? http://toucharcade.com/2009/08/11/wolfenstein-rpg-finally-released/
Thanks for the front page feature of our Aqua Globs game!
We are already hard working on new levels and globs along with in-game high scores and flip screen option which will came in next update!
You can see more in the forum or in our blog! http://www.qwiboo.com/aquaglobs/blog/
Thanks for your support!
From that video, I like the pace of Medieval. Somewhere between castle defense (frantic) and tower defense (more time to think–at least in certain traditional-style TDs).
Meh, Medieval controls suck and its way too hard
Really? I looks so cool.
I wish Popcap would go ahead and put out Plants Vs. Zombies on the iPhone already and show everyone how these "castle defense" games should be done!
medieval looks cool. i love those types of games. cant wait to play this one
Wow. Major kudos to whoever who came up with this Forum Favorites idea. Two thumbs up. I hope you do this again at regular intervals. May be add another category for "forums favorites" along with the current price/genre/iPhone/iPod tags.
About medieval control:
In 1 – 1.5 weeks new version of Medieval will be available on the AppStore. It will have three new types of controls. Update is on review in Apple already. But the current control is pretty good too!
FunkyHoops is a solid, straightforward 2 on 2 basketball game. Worth the $$$
Fling feels like a game of marbles, only slower.
