I'm looking for some obscure (non-mainstream) games that can give a lot of playtime, much more than your average game. Some of mine include: Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Jet Car Stunts (kinda unsure whether this would be considered "obscure", though) PathPix Payback Solomon's Boneyard
Mission Europa TouchGrind BMX Jetpack Joyride Monsters Ate My Condo Game Dev Story Adventure Bar Story EDIT: I just realized that you said "non-mainstream" and the games that I've listed are pretty mainstream. Sorry.
I'm ashamed to say how many hours I put into Battle Nations and Gun Bros. Triple Town, Dungeon Raid and Infinity Blade II I have no issues admitting to.
Minecraft Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 Modern Combat 3 Backstab + how can I forget Junk Jack!! Temple Run, fruit ninja and tiny wings are the games I don't play for long but I usually come back to it time to time. Edit: I made the same mistake as the other guy, mostly mainstream.
Here's an earlier thread with 11 pages of replies: Games you've spent 20+ hours on: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=92946
Avernum Avadon Aralon Backstab Machinarium The bards tale Waking mars New orbit I'd hate to think how many hours I have sunk into Edit oops removed the mainstream ones!
Aralon Legends of Yore Eden Dungeon Village Shining Force Blazing Star (even though it just came out a day or two ago!) Infinity Blade Tower of Fortune The Quest Solomon's Boneyard
Other than freemium games like dragonvale, I think the most time I spent on a iOS game would be Junk Jack. Gameplay is pretty much endless. I used to play it all night long. Basically a minecraft on 2d type game. Otherwise I'd reccomemd some RPGs like the already mentioned, adventure bar story. If you like puzzle games these games have SO many levels, I've played many hours and not even halfway through: cross fingers, flow, seven little words, frankenword, hairy balls,beyond yth, move the box,grooh,wriggle,colorbind. If I had to only recommend five of the best of that list: grooh, colorbind, wriggle, beyond yth (puzzle platformer) and hairy balls because it's completely free, you only pay for hints which aren't needed, of you have a logic mind. You said obsure and unknown, one comes to mind, there's a lite version too, called "trundle" It has a dark art style like world of goo or contre jour, it's quite abstract and dark, your a wheel rolling around dark levels, needing to find out how to get to the exit to continue your journey. - I got stuck so I stopped playing, but it's a great abstract puzzle platformer, if you like world of goo you'll like it
Oh yes! Definitely Eden! Love that game. Also Miss Claire Garden! I used to play that a lot. Great platformer!
I'm looking specifically for obscure ones. Thanks a lot guys; I'm checking out Legends of Yore and Flow. Most of the other obscure ones you've mentioned I already have. =)
Two Worlds II Castle Defense HD (love the healers and mages) The Tribez HD (just started this last month and play daily)
Let me know what you think of Legends of Yore. I personally love it... obviously I don't know what it is - it's so simple and basic, but so absorbing to me. Have fun!
Puzzle Quest. Space Miner : Ore Bust. Mini Motor Racing. Inotia 2. Pinball Arcade. Frisbee Forever. Fairway Solitaire. Most time ever spend on any game for that matter is puzzle quest.
I am more in to casual/puzzle games. My favorite non mainstream ones are Webbies-the same developer as Foodies both are awesome, unique and challenging puzzle games. Rob n roll- kind of like spy mouse but with tilt controls. Brave beak- a very good tiny wings style game with lots of missions. My all time favorite that I play every day still is cubis creatures, I don't know why this game hasn't had more attention.
Glad you do! I'm guessing you would want portraid mode becase the control pad would be off the screen?
No, I just feel better playing a casual game in portrait mode than in landscape. Landscape mode is for more immersive games, I feel.
