    Pros:

    Another quality title from a dev team that consistently releases quality titles.
    Retains most of what people loved about Touchgrind.
    Looks beautiful.
    I don't see how a BMX game could be done much better on iOS.
    Challenges and unlockables provide lots of content and incentive for replaying levels.

    Cons:

    Fairly difficult to get into, even more difficult to master.
    Retina is either broken or just plain not included on iPod Touch 4.
    No freestyle mode as of yet.

    Hi everybody,
    Tommorow I am going for three day vacation and I would like an game with me. So help me pick between

    Coin Drop
    Storm in a Teacup (I wanted to buy this, but cuteness of Foodies convinced me to buy them instead)
    To-Fu The trials of Chi

    Feel free to add your own suggestions (I own a 2nd generation 16GB Ipod touch)

    I am currently really enjoyin to-fu and i think its better than coin drop. It doestn drain the battery a lot and it has a lot of gameplay. There are 100 hundred levels which you have to replay to get the three main objectives of the level. I would defenitely get this.

    Respecting your view, I have to disagree and say I got into it virtually instantly. Obviously mastering it is the hard part. Everything else I agree with on cons, and with the pros it is just a perfect game really. 5 tracks may seem small but with 1 more and definitely a freestyle mode coming up in the future, and the fact the tracks are so well thought out with so many challenges and unlockables it feels a lot more substantial than on paper. The presentation really is second to none. tl;dr - BUY.

    Now for my question - is the original Touchgrind still good/value now and worth a purchase? or is it too hard to get into (e.g. harder than bmx?)? Are there challenges still?

    Definitely agree with the first part. BMX is so much more accessible in comparison to the original game. There's definitely enough content already, and like you said, there's more on the way.

    I would pass on the original game. I've deleted and resynced it so many times, trying to get into the game, but it just hasn't happened..and I got it two weeks after it came out. To me, the game isn't any fun at all. Even after the updates, it's the same deal. I don't think there's challenges like in BMX. Every mode takes place in the same sandbox map, and you try to score as high as possible. Wouldn't get it. Like I said, BMX is so, so much better in every aspect.

    Totally expected. There was no match this week. BMX crushed every other game.

    I'd say To-Fu. Storm in a Teacup was soooo boring imo. Haven't played Coin drop though.

    Haven't got any games in a while. Is bumpy road worth 2.99? And any other suggestions?

    ^this site needs more dog love. New game to-fu seems simply awesome, especially with a hundred levels.

    I'd do dogs if I could but that was the only one I found.
