    I create awesome paper airplanes that I will sell
    Here
    Any really fun games out there that you guys can suggest? I don't mean just good/great games, but really fun ones.

    Also how are these games?: Riptide GP, Madden 12 (have '11, any big differences?), One Epic Game, Woody Woodpecker, and Bring Me Sandwiches. Which of those are the best?

    Also what's the best skateboarding game out there for iOS if I already own Pocket Halfpipe?

    If you can answer any of those three questions, please do, it's very much appreciated.

    The red Skittle
    Ghost trick is "sorta" free - you get 2 chapters to play through. The free ones are worth a play, even if you won't upgrade, imo.

    Off the Leash might still be free.

    Harvest... Shmup?

    I'm looking for a game that I made a massive post about in this forum under Game Devs Please Read: My Dream Game

    Surely something like it exists though. I mean... it has to!

    Think Harvest Moon in that you're maintaining some village, farm, city, or what-have-you yet also go out and actively play the game.

    My perfect game would be something like a space colony that you manage (ala Tiny Tower, but hopefully a bit more in depth) and to get new items to stock your stores you go out in your spaceship and actually shoot enemies down.

    Is there ANYTHING like this?

    Like....
    Raising a farm + go out chop trees, kill monsters, etc
    Building a town + driving a car, picking things up, maybe finding new citizens
    Space colony + shmup

    Anything like this currently exist? Passive + active playing?

    Hm.. Astro Ranch? It's free (with premium unlocked via IAP), so I guess you can try that out :p

    There is an upcoming game that seems to be right along those lines:

    http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=119904

    I tried Astro Ranch, but the consumable energy IAP system made it unplayable for me. Besides, it has really awkward controls, IMHO.

    Own a bar looks to be just the thing I've been wanting!
    That astro farm hurts my eyes to look at, thanks for the info, but that's a pass.

    Now if only I could get... Own a 1940's airfield with modern sorta sci-fi technology RPG shooter I'd have my dream game!

    Quite a few games you can say that about on the AppStore lately. Paid charts have been pretty erratic. Prime example? Tank Hero. Shot up to number 2 just this week after not getting updated for over half a year. No reason whatsoever.

    I was wondering about that myself. How does that even happen? Fresh marketing campaign? I don't get it. I understand it holding the #2 spot once it GETS there (people see it and buy it, sure, cool). But how did it climb from the hole of the unknown to just below Where's My Water?! I don't get it.

    To be in the top 10 you (I've read) have to sell 30,000 A DAY. And it's been there for, what, a week?

    Hi all!

    I am looking to play more games on my iPhone4. Right now, I'm playing Tiny Tower, Superman, Ascendency, Angry Birds, and Sims Freeplay. I downloaded DragonVale based on a recommendation somewhere on this site, but I can't seem to get it to load.

    On the PC I play dungeon crawlers like Diablo, MMOs (played pretty much all of them), strategy (Civ), and some RPGs (like Skyrim). I tend to not like anything that is heavy on logic puzzles.

    On the phone, I like:
    -games that I can jump in and out of quickly
    -fast pace
    -humor
