    Hamsters' spinning race game. Keep two hamsters running in their wheel to reach the goal. The left button spins the rear wheel while the right button spins the front wheel. Wheels roll lightly by pressing both buttons! The energy decreases as the wheels spin. Be careful! When the energy turns to zero, you can't move the wheels!

    With simple rules and surprisingly complex solutions, this free Jump Maze app offers a fun mental challenge with 10,000 Rook Jumping Mazes (a.k.a. Number Mazes). Each maze is a grid of numbers with a goal square marked “G”. Each number indicates how many squares one must move horizontally or vertically from that square. Starting in the upper-leftmost square, one tries to reach the goal square with the fewest moves. There is no time pressure. There are no dead ends. There is a path to the goal from each square. Once you reach the goal, the shortest solution length is revealed. You can try again to find a better path, or you can try a new maze at any time. An optional Hints feature highlights the squares you have reached. Review the rules through the tutorial, or jump right in and play. This mental snack is offered for your puzzling pleasure from the students and faculty of Gettysburg College’s Department of Computer Science. Enjoy!

    Crix has been downloaded more than 2,000,000 times *** Ranked first in France and Brazil *** The iPhone game Crix is a collection of puzzle sets. Your goal is to turn off all the buttons. The problem is, every time you touch a button, all the neighboring ones are also switched! Colorful ones are switched off, black ones are switched on. Can you find a way to get a white board in a minimum number of moves? Crix comes with 160 different layouts, of increasing difficulty. The early levels are fairly easy. They help you learn the techniques you will need to solve the later levels -- which, though simple looking, are surprisingly challenging. The random mode offers endless possibilities of layouts with a chosen difficulty. And there are other possible customizations. Can you make it?

    "Star Ride is a fun and rewarding game with a unique style and appearance. The hand drawn graphics are high quality and give the game loads of charm. The sounds are captivating and soothing. With all the cookie cutter Apps in the Store, Star Ride is a nice burst of fresh energy. If you like carefully crafted games with nice feel and pick up and play ability, Star Ride is a must have."

    guardian.co.uk
    "A gently soothing oddity which requires you to propel a hand-drawn character into the night sky by leaping from star to star. The synth-laden music and twinkling sound effects lull you into an almost hypnotic state. Perfect for stressful commutes"

    AppShouter (http://appshouter.com/)
    "I really enjoyed this game [...] is just so musical and soothing that it is really just a great game to play."

    iPhone Games Network (http://www.iphonegamenetwork.com/)
    "soothing sounds, impressive visuals, and an overall artistic feel. This provides an overall mellow and peaceful experience that isn’t found in other similar games."

    no dpad (http://nodpad.com)
    "The game really feels like a unique experience when you can propel yourself from one star into the next, and so on. If you can get lucky and land at least five in a row to keep going directly up, the sounds of hitting the stars almost feels like it’s making a song."


    ------------------------

    Star Ride is an ability based game where you control the flight of your character, up to the highest point in the sky, jumping from star to star.
    Every star you hit will make you fly higher and will increase your score. Take the blue stars to increase your score multiplier.

    It's very easy to pick up and play, making it the perfect kind of game for iPhone and iPod Touch.
    Its hand drawn graphics and an its original music contribute to create a surreal and unique atmosphere.

    To play, move the character horizontally with your finger, swipe up just to jump on the first star, then follow the other falling stars to fly as high as possible. To pause the game and go back to the main menu, tap the screen with two fingers.

    - A whole puzzle mode is included with over 50 unique puzzles. It is perfect for people who wants to play something quickly.

    The return of CashMachine, the previous version had been downloaded by over a million players! In this new version you will find: - new HD Retina graphics for both iPhone and iPad - new original game modes: "Flash" mode to start a game very quickly with lines already present and "Magnetic" mode which sticks all the columns to the right of the screen. - An integration of scores in GameCenter - The game board goes from 7 lines to 8. - The total number of objects increases from 12 to 14 for an even greater challenge! Small reminder for those who do not know the game: CashMachine is a game with a very simple principle but with an almost unlimited lifespan. You must eliminate identical objects by grouping them by three or more. But what's really innovative about CashMachine is that every time you eliminate a group of items, they turn into a different item of greater value. For example if you put together three silver pieces, they will turn into one gold piece. If you put together three gold coins they will turn into a banknote and so on. Thus, the more you progress in the game, the more the type of different objects in play increases. This results in a very progressive but very real difficulty after several minutes of play.

Sorry. ---Gailardia If medieval and royalty RPG are your thing, then this will be a considerably enjoyable experience for you. It also includes an item completion feature and other fun elements to keep you entertained! The English version was created from the original Japanese version, so no balance changes have been made. Hence, leveling up and gold acquisition efforts may require a effort and time. ---Gailardia 2 Gailardia 2 is a tale that takes places 100 years after its prequel Gailardia. It has become clear that the three heroes in Gailardia have disappeared after the battle. (But if you haven't played Gailardia then you will still be able to understand the tale). This time with true RPG taste, 4 people are on a journey who can each assume jobs. Adoption of a unique method for assuming high ranking jobs. Capability of changing jobs. ---Gailardia Our story takes place a century after Gailardia 2. This latest installment wraps up the trilogy. Again a party of four heroes set out on a journey, undertaking various jobs as they do so. Special items will allow you to give all your characters Advanced Jobs and change between jobs. Gailardia 3 also allows the player to rearrange the order of party members. The new Full Heal magic conveniently lets you restore full HP to your entire party (though not during battle). Other improvements include a greater variety of backgrounds during battle and an easier-to-read, full-screen World Map. If medieval and royalty RPG are your thing, then this will be a considerably enjoyable experience for you. It also includes an item completion feature and other fun elements to keep you entertained! The English version was created from the original Japanese version, so no balance changes have been made. Hence, leveling up and gold acquisition efforts may require a effort and time.

    Holy crap.

    Some of those are duplicates, and there's a few that I'm not sure are permenantly free.

    I'll vouch for Mechanic Panic though. That game is awesome and should absolutely be picked up while free.

    Cash machine (previously linked above) is a real thinking man's match 3 and a good pick-up if a "thinking man's match 3" holds any appeal.

    I hope people are only posting games that stayed on their devices a while and got real play time . . . otherwise thread gets less useful -- I mean there are 1000s of free games.

    I was just coming back to post that...very good game. Several other games he posted were good as well.

    - Glyphia is a good Joust clone (keeper!)
    - Piczle Lines is a good little puzzler with great production values...looks like something you'd see on DS
    - Crimsonworld, Mechanic Panic and Sky Force are all great, but are all temporarily free

    I didn't care for Jump Puzzle, WackaMonsta or MeWantBamboo. Star Rider has great art, but it's not nearly as good as MegaJump which is already on the list.

    Most folks seem to be holding true to this. As I try games out and am impressed by them, I move them toward the upper half of the list, so hopefully that helps a bit.

    If folks would hit the star ratings on the games in the OP as they try them, or even give me suggestions on which ones to weed out, I'm happy to edit the list.

    just wanted to say that yes, every game that I've listed has spent quite a bit of time on my iPod... I know some of them are kind of... well... not as good as others... but I enjoyed them... hope some other people enjoy em too... there's a few that are just GREAT...

    Anyway... thank you to everyone else that's posted games on here... I've gotten quite a few new ones... which is funny, I thought I already had pretty much every free game that was the littlest bit enjoyable... =oP

    Yup! I only keep apps that I feel are worth my time/decently fun. So that big list should have something in there for everyone.

    I tried most of the list, and all the ones I tried were at least decent...but it was really worth it just for Cash Machine. That is truly a great game.

    The other 2-3 I mentioned before are good too. and the temporarily free ones you listed are all recommended.

    Added to OP from SkyMuffin's list...both are quite good, particularly Catacombs which is sort of a twin stick shooter/dungeon crawler...fun stuff. I wouldn't have guessed that I'd still be adding games this good to the list this far in the discussion.

    Wouldn't it be funny if a developer of one these games saw the sudden increase in downloads and, thinking their game is now a hit, put a price tag on it :D

    Put a couple of hours into Catacombs tonight...very impressed with that one, and I can't say enough how much I love Cash Machine.

    Took Orbital off the front page. Free version has a score limit. :(

    Sad to say that there used to be a better or at least prettier version of Cash Machine called Alchemize, but the greedy developer added crippling adds that break the gameplay in an "update".

    Ooh I hate that guy! :mad: *shakes fist*

    Was a beta tester for Cash Machine, so maybe I'm biased - but rarely have I seen a developer act as much as a jerk as Schiau...
