Wow, found this thread making one of my twenty-times-a-day checks of the Price-Drop subforum....this is a GREAT thread, Chess! Found 14 new (to me) games which I downloaded to my old iphone, which is doing duty as an iPod Touch. There were at least ten games I never delete from my iPhone 4 like Bumpoid, Lock n Roll and Blastination in your list....glad to see others enjoy them as well. Wishing you all a happy, healthy and prosperous 2012!
Awesome topic. Until a month ago it's been until 2009 since I've been to this site or had access to the app store. Just downloaded around 50 games. This is what I was looking for.
why isn't this thread a sticky? this one helped me find quite a few games today EDIT: Robotek, very damn awesome

Picked up Virble. Turns out to be a nice word game. A lot of work putting this thread together. Appreciated. And no mention of Supreme Air Combat? Nice line drawn fighter game that's not too bad. Always free and been out since early 09'. I've had it on my device this whole time. http://appshopper.com/games/supreme-air-combat
you're right, but since it was free at launch time, some people (myself included) assumed that it's also gonna stay free forever.
I posted above to indicate that I was removing it from the list...thought the reason would be self-evident. Yeah, that was my assumption too...and why I added it to the list.
I'd be surprised if any of them miss the cut; granted I bought the full versions of all but Blockwick some time ago (and they have remained installed) so I don't know what limitations the free versions bring.
I generally try to leave off "lite" versions unless they are standalone from the main game...same for heavy IAP...but I will definitely take a look. I've been tempted to put some of the Gamevil RPGs on there for a while, but they look very dependent on IAPs.
I loath IAP and generally stay away from ad supported apps. IIRC none of these were bad, though I have seen updates ruin even paid apps so who knows.

Can't believe I forgot to add Temple Run...one of my favorite games. I don't think I expected it stay free when it first went free...kind of why I created this thread in the first place. Same for ElectroMaster (though I think HungryMaster made it kind of obsolete). Also agree that SuperRope is worth an add. Velocispider isn't free though.

SuperRope brings fun with fast climbing/jumping action where your goal is to get your hero as high as possible. But it is not that simple. There are more things to do while trying to reach the stars like picking coins and other bonus stuff which you can´t afford to miss on your way up if you think of becoming the Top Scorer. And there is more. The better you get the bigger choice you have in choosing your favorite characters to make it more personalized. The game offers variety of backgrounds with more to come in next updates. So don´t waste time and bring some action to your chilling out on the sofa, being stuck in a traffic jam or hanging out with your friends!!! Still not enough? Than test your skills and try to avoid monsters and objects falling from the sky, like deadly parrots, evil robots or even anvils and pianos or just hanging on ropes eager to lay your tentacles on you. Last but not the least there are, of course, missions which bring all this together. Through tricky missions you can receive multipliers to move on in a game. Warm yourself up with less difficult tasks in the beginning like Play 5 times with a hedge or magnetize 300 coins with a magnet and later check your skills while jumping 200 times in one mode or missing 40 times a falling object. To sum it up, Super Ropes has launched the biggest update ever offering more fun with 30 missions, rewards, characters, bonus level and a spin wheel. As for the technical side, to become even more player-friendly, the game offers iPad support and redesigned and simplified store. So download now and have fun with the new extensive package where climbing becomes more than just a game. It becomes a mission. Information Seller:Craneballs s.r.o.
