    Hi Pablo, :)

    I add one from a Spanish colleague Iván.

    iDonutConnect

    Seems simple, but it has 400 levels and is nice and challenging.

    I would not recommend my game for this, cause it uses physics, collisions . and more stuff and I think is not battery saver friendly.

    I'm not too sure about Real Racing and F.A.S.T they might consume lesser than other graphically intense game but still they are heavy for a "long trip" as intended for the thread.

    I'm sorry but I looked at Ivan's game once in the appstore and though it was just another crappy match 3 game. But boy was I wrong!!! I just tried the lite version and am upgrading to the full right now. It's an innovative puzzler and with 400 levels it's gonna keep me occupied for a long time! Thanks coolman!

    Your game (georain) looks really good, but I'm keeping only battery efficient games on my ipod for now. I'll buy it on monday after my trip!

    Sure, you are wrong :D Is way cool.

    Ok :) .. yes my game will eat your battery I think.

    I think that Ivan's game and mine are good for the gameplay, as for the graphics we do the best we can, but we are not graphics designers and we don't have enoguh budget for hiring a Graphic Designer.

    Have a good trip.

    Pathpix is nice too, and uses hardly any battery power at all...

    Good to know the games that dont affect battery life much but...

    Good to know the games that dont affect battery life much but... what about games that are fun to actually play for 4+ hours?

    rangent,

    It's better you open a new thread with this question.

    probably not a small replayable game like flight control, maybe an RPG like Zenonia

    TD games are good on the road. I Love Katamari is great, although it does eat some battery.
