    - CrimsonHeart is a $0.99 19.7mb KRPG hack 'n slash; Aurum Blade is similar (30.4mb) but free.
    - The llamasoft games are small size arcade games - $0.99 apps include Gridrunner, Caverns of Minos, and Minotaur Rescue.
    - J-Werewolf: EP1 is a 12.5mb $0.99 platform game.
    - PunchQuest (if you don't own it) is $0.99 and 14.6mb.
    - Tower of Fortune is a $0.99 grayscale roguelike slot machine game.
    - Ice Rage is only 32.3mb installed.
    - Pawn'd is a chess based puzzle game that is 34.2mb.
    Gunslugs is a lot of fun. Danny just missed the $0.99 sale...

    Actually, a small disk size 99 cent game everyone NEEDS is Miss Claire Garden, highly underrated, one of the best iOS platformers. Only 15mb.

    Henry and the Psionic Overlords is an excellent "under the radar" world exploration board game that is free to download with a $0.99 IAP to unlock the full game without trial/lite limitations. I highly recommend it in general and especially to board game or RPG fans.

    If you are typically on a budget then I'd wait for a sale on GunSlugs. The developer has frequent $0.99 sales.

    Take at look at Donut Games. All their games are $0.99 and roughly 7-30mb in size. Fantastic to pick up and play, as well as for the hard-core gamer :)

    What's the best app for learning Chess? I know all the rules/pieces and everything, I'd just like to improve. Anything like that on the App Store?

    There are a number of quality chess apps out there but they are very detailed so not cheap. Shredder Chess is a popular premium chess app ($7.99 but has been $1.99 before). Chess Pro - with coach is a worthy Chess app that includes a refined chess engine, detailed analysis, and even "famous game" re-enactments from pros; it's currently $9.99 but has been on $0.99 sale before. Chess Pro has a free edition, I'm not sure what the free limitations are.

    Best Game?

    I would definitely get Eufloria. It is absolutely beautiful and easy to pick-up but still very strategic. Sucks me in for a few hours at a time.

    What are the best RPGs, simulations and rts for ios? I have an iPhone 4s and I enjoyed playing Dungeon Hunter 2 and Orc Vengeance. I am also currently having fun playing Galaxy on Fire 2 HD. Can anyone recommend games like those listed above? :)
