    Your gas pedal is stuck! Tilt your car to keep it rolling and jumping. Do stunts to get nitro boost so you can do more stunts to get more nitro boost. It's fun, it's fast and it's free, so get it now! The goal of the game is to get as far as possible on a limited reserve of gas. You wont consume gas when boosting, so doing stunts will get your farther. Though it might also make you crash... such is the game. The game features awesome music by Magnus "SoulEye" Pålsson (of "VVVVVV" fame) and is frequently updated with more content. == Features == * Extremely addictive gameplay * Huge gratifying explosions * Earwormy music that will not exit your head * Flips, wheelies and extreme aerial stunts * A choice between nine unique cars, five unique bikes and six unique trucks with different properties * Drive in six locations * Game Center Achievements and Leaderboards * Universal (great on any iOS device) * Free It's just pure, plain fun. And its free. You should download it now, unless you hate having fun.

    Added to OP...great controls...tons of upgrades to pimp (literally) your fly out...and equipped properly, it does a great job replicating a side scrolling shooter. Highly recommended, and free since last November.

    Over 20 MILLION games played! Come join in the fun!

    #2 Arcade game in the app store!
    Top 25 overall apps!

    You're a regular fly just minding your own business but endless waves of enemies want to eat you for lunch! Survive as long as you can!

    You start out armed with only a simple stick with a nail in it. Collect coins to spend in the upgrade shop. Purchase more powerful weapons and gear to exact revenge on your enemies!

    Super Fly is a game where you battle creatures and collect coins. Coins can be spent in the in-game store to upgrade and customize your character. There are a wide variety of items to buy and they all alter the gameplay in some way.

    Some early quotes from users:

    "The controls are smoooooth!!! I'm talking smooth as the top shooters like minisquadron pew pew and meteor blitz. This adds to the replayability because you can work on your game skill with responsive controls."

    "I have to admit when he eats three poops and becomes muscle bound, that was worth the .99 right there."

    "Ok. This indeed is an exception. Easily my favourite survival-type game, and I knew it after about 30 seconds of play. Good call guys."

    I'll bet you like Super Fly knowing your tastes. You just have to fight through the first little bit with only a board (with a nail in it) as a weapon, but you'll be unlocking all kinds of crazy stuff before you know it.

    I'm absurdly hooked on Extreme Road Trip.

    Still reading this thread, so please forgive me if these are listed later in the thread:

    Doodle Jump Hop - there are 25 levels you can play, plus can pay to get unlimited jump mode, BUT the regular Doodle Jump has a mode where you can play Hop the bunny, so you can enjoy the 25 levels without paying to unlock something you can get free in the regular game. Some of the hidden modes that you access by entering these words instead of your name: Ooga, Klik, Hop, Bunny.

    Some that I can't seem to find in the store now, but they were free, and worth playing:

    Beyond Ynth Xmas
    Cover Orange Valentine

    Cheesy one kids may like: Bounce On Up

    Tesla Wars - but that might have just been a promo (I have no way to check on prices in the store on games I already have - it just shows installed)

    Space Miner Blast - good one

    I think Farm Frenzy Origins is free

    I've played Extreme Road Trip pretty much every time I pick up my phone for the past 2-3 days. Super addictive.

    It's also brand new, so hopefully they'll iron out some of the instability soon and maybe even add some stuff in future updates.

    I really can't recommend it enough, and I'd say that doing the facebook thing for the Jeep is worthwhile...just delete the app from facebook after you get it.

    Space Miner Blast is a winner...sort of a twist on asteroids with much better controls.

    It has a 10 second wait screen the first time you open it, but it seems to go straight to the menu every subsequent time. It also has IAP ships, but the base ship is free and plenty adequate. You might not hit the leaderboards, but you'd be hard-pressed to not have fun with it.

    Anyway, added to OP! Thanks Mr Grizzly!

    Thanks for the facebook trick. Never thought of that and I suppose it should work for other apps with similar feature.
    The Jeep does seem to have different characteristics, not just cosmetic look. Bravo to the developer.

    Yeah, it is different and worth the trouble. I have a higher score with the original car, but I prefer the feel of the jeep...and it fits the setting better.

    Really really really loving that game. I actually think it's better than Tiny Wings.

    It's cool to get the play by play, and I'm glad you're enjoying it. I've been downloading and trying darn near everything that pops up for free on appshopper, and I've stumbled across a couple of gems (and a lot of really bad games!)

    I like to think of it as a public service. ;)

    I'm still playing this quite a bit, mostly on "Super", which I assume is the hardest difficulty. The spaceship is fierce, but I'd skip the plane and sub.

    Block is a decent little Indie game that's been free for as long as I can remember. You have to get the sleep walking man get back to his bed by tilting your device. I also think WAVE has been free for some time now. It's an airplane shooter game and you have shoot a certain number of enemies or collect a number of stars to progress. In the same vein, I found a game called Lightning Fighter that was also free a while ago. I'm sorry if these games are not free anymore. I unfortunately don't have an internet connection to check on them, just my phone.

    This is not a game that was quickly thrown together! A lot of thought and work went into every single feature and move, and that will be immediately obvious when you open the game.

    We are indebted to Kevin MacLeod for his excellent music score.

    Just keep hitting the pucks of your color in this highly addictive casual game!

    This is a 3D game of mad chase and avoidance and crazy bumping action! Swoosh among the gliding pucks at high speed, avoid ones of different color hurtling at you, and hit the ones of the same color, chase them if you have to.

    Whatever you do, try to manage the recoil and angle of impact, because these babies bounce like mad! The collision physics is implemented faithfully and gives this game a special realistic appeal. Bounce off the pucks and off the walls and see what tricks you can pull and how long you can keep the streak going!

    A perfect pick-up-and-play game, simple to pick up yet challenging and addictive, sure to make any dull moment fly by in an instant. Controls are dead simple, yet described as "perfect" and "spot-on" by everybody. Simply tilting left-right gives you perfect control of your puck.

    Silky smooth 60fps frame rate makes this game a true pleasure to play.

    The complete state of the game is always auto-saved, so you can always come back to the split second where you left off, whether you got interrupted by a call, a text, or simply pressed the home button.

    More than 90 levels, see how far you can get!

    Keep on bumping :)
