The first page now takes forever to load as more and more games are added to it. I suggest to provide a game list and corresponded link rather than embedded all details on the page. Just a thought.
yeah, it is true that the thread takes longer and longer to load up, but imho one thing that makes the thread so great is that all the appinfos with the screenshots are in the OP and are completely laid out in front of the reader. but i dunno, maybe it will help speed things up if this thread is cut into 3-4 small threads.. and the games are sorted, either alphabetically (each thread for a few letters), or by original date of release, or stuff like that? anyway, i personally don't mind if it stays in the current format, but yeah it might change in the future, in the current growth rate of the OP
Appreciate the input. FWIW, you can always just hit the stop button on your browser and just view the links. Also, it's been more or less at it's max size for a week, so despite the perception that it's taking longer, it really hasn't changed much. I've been able to squeeze a few more games in by deleting text, but for the most part, I've been swapping what I perceive as weaker games for stronger ones on an almost 1 to 1 basis. I know that will be the case going forward. Edit: I also have been adding new OP additions to the end of the thread, so if you've already scavenged the OP, you can follow changes there.
Virtual Table Tennis Pro. It's free, (ad supported...), but is by far the funnest ping pong game on the ios (the hd version is not free, but has single device multiplayer). Highly recommended. Also: Online Sniper League is a really fun sniper game with like 4 modes, highly worth it, and it's been free for over a month now i think. (hopefully these games aren't too new though...)
I'm not at all concerned about how old games are. The thread really just started as a question and doesn't at all represent what it has become...which incidentally is the most comprehensive list of free iDevice games I can find on the internet. Believe me, I've searched. Anyway, I downloaded both games, and both are OP bound. I'd played Virtual Table Tennis Pro before, but I didn't give it much of a chance. It's pretty fun once you get the hang of it. And I didn't realize that Online Sniper League had on offline mode.

Thanks very much. Though, I have to disagree with your dismissal of Trainyard EX! It is one of my favourite puzzle games. It starts out fairly simple, and the ramp is not very steep, but it does get quite challenging. It's not really a light version of the for-pay Trainyard (which I happily purchased). It's fully functional and has got a completely separate set of puzzles than the for-pay (full breadth of challenge too). The express version is really an addition to the full one, I have and play both on my iPhone. The number of levels is fairly decent too, and there's quite a bit of replay ability in optimizing your track length, if you're so inclined. Trainyard EX, give it a fair shake, if you like thought/strategy puzzlers where randomness doesn't factor in, you'll love it.

What's the difference between Trainyard and Express? In the full game there are more than 100 more puzzles, and you can even MAKE YOUR OWN PUZZLES. The full game also has splitter pieces, which are AWESOME. Trainyard Express Features: + Innovative and challenging puzzle mechanic + Smooth difficulty curve + Over 60 fantastic puzzles + NO ADS + Hundreds of ways to solve each puzzle + Easily share your unique solutions on Trainyard.ca + Looks GREAT on the iPad + Game Center + Engineered for low battery usage + Colour-blind mode + A year in the making + Developed in my spare time(support indie games!) Stuck on a puzzle? There are over 1.2 MILLION player submitted solutions at http://trainyard.ca/solutions Trainyard Express is a puzzle solving game unlike any that you've ever played. It's easy to learn but very tough to master. Your job is simple: get each train to a goal station. Red trains go to red stations, blue trains go to blue stations, etc. You control the trains by drawing track for them to follow. There isn't a time limit or even a score; the only thing you need to do is figure out a solution for each puzzle. The first few puzzles are almost too easy, but as the difficulty increases you'll be thankful that you were able to practice the fundamentals of drawing track. As the game progresses, you'll have to use basic colour theory to combine trains of different colours, use timing to merge, and use every inch of your brain in your quest to beat the game. Find out more at http://www.trainyard.ca Developed by Matt Rix ([email protected]) Proudly made in Canada. Known issues (minor): - If some provinces can't be unlocked even after you've solved all the available puzzles, that's a bug: Go to options, switch to player 2 then back to player 1 to fix it. - Sometimes, the sounds stop working. Close the app using the multitasking bar to get sounds back.

True it is a Lite version, but it has 40 puzzles in it. While those 40 puzzles span the full breadth of difficulty, and while the nature of the puzzles are such that you can replay them a number of times without even vaguely remembering the solution (providing you've played a few in between), I see that the dev has reduced that number down to 40 in an update (I remember it being quite a bit larger), no doubt to discourage the nigh-infinite replay ability of the free version as an incentive to pay for the full. While this isn't behaviour I support, and this game probably doesn't deserve promotion on the front page, it is a game that I bought the full version of, because I loved it. CryptArithm is a logic/puzzler par-excellence. Each puzzle is a solid logic and math workout. The math is grade-school level, but the logic can be quite extreme. Some levels can take over half an hour to complete. If you like sudoku, you will definitely like this game. To top it off, the interface is perfect, the graphics are fun and pleasant, and the sounds are great (when you get the chimes after completing a puzzle, it's like a pavlovian reward and you just need to start the next one).

Rockchurch Member Jul 26, 2011 22 0 0 #192 Rockchurch, Jul 28, 2011 As I indicated, it's not a light version. It has levels that are not contained in the for-pay version and is quite playable without purchasing the for-pay version. It's not a gateway to the for-pay version. Paying for Trainyard does not give you access to the (extensive, challenging, and entertaining) levels in Trainyard EX. Similarly to the above, the levels in the 'lite' version are unique to the light version. It's somewhat a small game, but isn't merely a 'gateway' to the for-pay version. Though, I agree that with it's somewhat diminutive size, (and unlike Trainyard EX) it probably doesn't deserve mention higher than 20 pages deep. chess Well-Known Member Jun 17, 2011 436 0 0 #193 chess, Jul 29, 2011 Based on Rockchurch's logic, it fits what I have in mind in that it's standalone and not just the first 10-15 levels of the game proper. I didn't remove it for that reason, but because I just didn't find it terribly entertaining. However, if somebody feels that strongly about it, I'll reconsider since I'm really looking for favorites here.

What you get is mostly just a lite version, with the ability to unlock the full game in several parts via IAP. Trainyard Express is great, in my opinion. It does serve as a demo for the full version, but as Rockchurch said it's a seperate game. I'd include it here.

It's fully functional and has got a completely separate set of puzzles than the for-pay (full breadth of challenge too).

Chess, love the thread. Thanks very much. Though, I have to disagree with your dismissal of Trainyard EX! It is one of my favourite puzzle games. It starts out fairly simple, and the ramp is not very steep, but it does get quite challenging. It's not really a light version of the for-pay Trainyard (which I happily purchased). It's fully functional and has got a completely separate set of puzzles than the for-pay (full breadth of challenge too). The express version is really an addition to the full one, I have and play both on my iPhone. The number of levels is fairly decent too, and there's quite a bit of replay ability in optimizing your track length, if you're so inclined. Trainyard EX, give it a fair shake, if you like thought/strategy puzzlers where randomness doesn't factor in, you'll love it.

What's the difference between Trainyard and Express? In the full game there are more than 100 more puzzles, and you can even MAKE YOUR OWN PUZZLES. The full game also has splitter pieces, which are AWESOME. Trainyard Express Features: + Innovative and challenging puzzle mechanic + Smooth difficulty curve + Over 60 fantastic puzzles + NO ADS + Hundreds of ways to solve each puzzle + Easily share your unique solutions on Trainyard.ca + Looks GREAT on the iPad + Game Center + Engineered for low battery usage + Colour-blind mode + A year in the making + Developed in my spare time(support indie games!) Stuck on a puzzle? There are over 1.2 MILLION player submitted solutions at http://trainyard.ca/solutions Trainyard Express is a puzzle solving game unlike any that you've ever played. It's easy to learn but very tough to master. Your job is simple: get each train to a goal station. Red trains go to red stations, blue trains go to blue stations, etc. You control the trains by drawing track for them to follow. There isn't a time limit or even a score; the only thing you need to do is figure out a solution for each puzzle. The first few puzzles are almost too easy, but as the difficulty increases you'll be thankful that you were able to practice the fundamentals of drawing track. As the game progresses, you'll have to use basic colour theory to combine trains of different colours, use timing to merge, and use every inch of your brain in your quest to beat the game. Find out more at http://www.trainyard.ca Developed by Matt Rix ([email protected]) Proudly made in Canada. Known issues (minor): - If some provinces can't be unlocked even after you've solved all the available puzzles, that's a bug: Go to options, switch to player 2 then back to player 1 to fix it. - Sometimes, the sounds stop working. Close the app using the multitasking bar to get sounds back.

True it is a Lite version, but it has 40 puzzles in it. While those 40 puzzles span the full breadth of difficulty, and while the nature of the puzzles are such that you can replay them a number of times without even vaguely remembering the solution (providing you've played a few in between), I see that the dev has reduced that number down to 40 in an update (I remember it being quite a bit larger), no doubt to discourage the nigh-infinite replay ability of the free version as an incentive to pay for the full. While this isn't behaviour I support, and this game probably doesn't deserve promotion on the front page, it is a game that I bought the full version of, because I loved it. CryptArithm is a logic/puzzler par-excellence. Each puzzle is a solid logic and math workout. The math is grade-school level, but the logic can be quite extreme. Some levels can take over half an hour to complete. If you like sudoku, you will definitely like this game. To top it off, the interface is perfect, the graphics are fun and pleasant, and the sounds are great (when you get the chimes after completing a puzzle, it's like a pavlovian reward and you just need to start the next one).

Cogs is not really free. What you get is mostly just a lite version, with the ability to unlock the full game in several parts via IAP. Trainyard Express is great, in my opinion. It does serve as a demo for the full version, but as Rockchurch said it's a seperate game. I'd include it here. Trainyard is one of the most popular iPhone games for a reason One game I forgot to mention is Disc Drivin'. Pretty good fun if you have someone to play it with. The free version is the same as the full game, but ad-supported.
Fishing Mania http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fishing-mania/id439616913?mt=8 You could play the full version Net-fishing / Spear-fishing and build your own lovely fish farm. http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Fishing-Mania/227378100607285
Bringing my two cents to the table, I gotta say I did like Trainyard Express. And it really didn't feel like a lite version since it's got a few hours of playtime in it!
I added Trainyard Express back to the OP a few days ago, I think. Will check out Disk Drivin' and Fishing Mania. Thanks for the suggestions! Right now, I'm keeping an eye on GamEvil's games...seems like they are either having a monster sale or changing their business model.
Pretty fun 2-player game. Will add to OP at next edit. Thanks! Disc Drivin' Lite Pixelocity Software LLC This is the free version of Disc Drivin'.
