    Do not forget about "Gaia" - IMHO so far the best match3 game in AppStore.
    Simplicity and beauty combined.

    Smiles and Stoneloops.

    Never got into the Trism thing - and I even played the jailbreak-only-version before it was released into the AppStore.

    I'm not trying to be a clever clogs here, but I found Numba a bit lacking in number sequences, curiously. I would love to have seen perhaps these:
    2357 - primes
    314159 - pi
    112358 - fibonacci sequence

    That would make it a fantastic game!

    I just got Puzzlings and I like it a lot. Don't be fooled by the cutesy artwork, it's pretty fun.

    I just got this based on your recommendation and the lite version.

    Its a very good game, and well worth the money, but the complete lack of instructions almost put me off from getting it. The developers like to go on about how it only contains universal symbols, but even they recognize the need for instructions because they have them all on their web site. They should just add them into the app.

    You know I still have Aurora Feint's Tower Puzzle free game on my iPhone. I like it, its challenging and has a cool dark graphic design along with the sound effects. :eek:

    Someone just ported Bubble Spinner to the iphone. Its called Bubble Twirrl on the iphone, havent tried it yet, but Bubble Spinner is hugely addicting to many.

    Check out Bubble Spinner on one of the many free sites where you can play it via flash. Not sure I'm allowed to link, but google it.

    This is currently (IMO) the best Match-3 available. Lots of options, the various levels are really different from each other, and there is a strategic aspect to it in that you earn a limited number of power-ups that you have to try to save for the later (and harder) levels.

    I have played a lot of them, and this is the only one that is still on my phone.

    I find match 3's generally either boring (bejeweled classic) or requiring incomprehensible maneuvers that I would need to go to school to understand to get some insane combo (trism). So I havent bought a lot of them.

    However, the concept of Alchemize really grabbed me as having more and deeper strategy, yet still being accessible. Check it out!

    Adding my two cents for:

    (in no particular order since I enjoyed them all):

    Azkend
    Gemmed
    Treasures of Montezuma
    Adubble
    Rise of Atlantis

    All have levels and goals and unique elements to keep you going beyond the normal basic match 3.

    The Jewel Quests are in that category but I have played them on other platforms so much that the story got boring to me on the iTouch. It was a pure port and the story was literally the same. But still a quality game.

    Happens every time - read a thread like this and I end up spending a few bucks. Got Smiles - the 2 in 1 version and am looking up Ancient Wonderland now so that might be a second purchase because of these kinds of threads!

    It's ok, sometimes those games might pass me by and we can't have THAT!
