That's very cool. Thanks for sharing. I hadn't seen that. Nice site. This thread has enough content to last that site months.
Knights of the Phantom Castle is an amazing "real time strategy" game where you control a small team of 3 units (each can have an accompanying minion) through a series of puzzle like action battles. There's a lot of unit management upgrades/equiptment. The controls are line drawing based with tap, swipe/flick (from character), or drag to initiate special attacks. I am sure Battleheart was inspired by Knights of the Phantom Castle but the controls are similar (although Battleheart is simplified). I revisited it recently and the graphics hold up very well on my 5G although not widescreen. It's one of my favorite iOS games but never got much attention.
Silversword. It's a marvelous little homage to the original Bard's tale games, with one of the most active and responsive devs of any game I've ever seen. It's constantly being updated, and has a rediculous amount of content. Also, you get to customize a party of SEVEN adventurers. I can't reccommend this game enough if you're looking for a truly old school experience.
It's been a month since some new ideas have come up. Anybody find any others they've enjoyed playing that are flying under the radar?
First page updated, thanks for the additions... I can Vouch for Aiko Island definetly one of the best physic puzzlers ever made. It's a shame it hasn't got the praise it deserves. Pick it up if you haven't played it, your in for a good time.
Color Attack It spells the word of a color and you have to click the right color. For example, it would say "Red" but the font is purple and below is a chart of colors and you have to tap the correct color
Mann I can't find osiris legends anywhere, I even looked in the AppStore in other countries lol I want to play that game!
This thread is so cool Super Bit Dash, Mission Europa, Chocorun, Little Crane That Could, Ziggurat, Gunman Clive, Reckless Getaway, and Continuity 2 are all such great games Ok, my recommendations: 14px - This is the best Super Meat Boy-esque platformer I've played on IOS. 70 very challenging levels and tight controls make this one of my favorite platformers. Prepare to die a lot Penumbear - Another difficult platformer, more puzzle based. 100 large levels, bosses, a very cool art style, unique light/shadows mechanic, and great controls Bezier - Physics puzzler, minimalist design, manipulate a line to allow a ball to collect pickups. Bullet Train Hell - Retro puzzle platformer, challenging levels with great puzzle mechanics
Ninjas - the stolen scrolls is not getting any attention so far. I'd say its a good game with similar gameplay to castle crashers but slightly difficult to learn but satisfying to master controls. Only a dollar. If they added standard d-pad controls it could be even better though.
Worm Run - an incredibly addictive arcade style game where you try and outrun a giant worm using a jet pack. Best "jet pack" based game on the AppStore. This deserved to be a very successful game, but, it never got much exposure. Raptured! By Sunny Tam - best Sunny Tam game IMO. Sunny also made Danmaku 1 and 2.
Worm Run? You talking the one where you're underground and you have to swipe to move? That game is so good. +1 to that recommendation
Some more recommendations: Go Go Pixel - retro platformer, pixel art style, some cool mechanics Draw Rider Plus - a very challenging physics bike game, tons of levels, a level editor with some really tough user levels, different vehicles, rider dismemberment Kona's Crate - a physics puzzle platformer, have to get your crate to the finish area through each shorr twisting level rife with traps and obstacles, unique controls that are easy to learn but very tough to master Backflip Madness - not much of a structured game, but fun to play with. A variety of locations, different backflips to try, a low gravity mode, funny ragdoll physics Ending - a minimalist puzzle roguelike inspired by chess. Has a puzzle mode that introduces the mechanics and enemies, a randomized rogue-esque adventure, and a level editor Bitless - a super challenging one-touch platformer. Timing is everything Wipeout - yes, based on the obstacle course tv show. Surprisingly the game is a lot of fun, the touch controls are great, and the wipeouts are just as funny here. Turret Tilt - An fun challenging arcade shooter with a large number of upgradeable weapons and mix of tilt and touch controls. You can easily play this game with one hand. And while there is IAP, it's absolutely unnecessary
Inc - A great platformer/shooter style game Little Acorns - A brilliant platformer Polyroll - Like a NES version of Sonic Clash Force - A great retro style game, side scrolling. From the maker of Polyroll
Sorry. It's here...,, https://itun.es/gb/DJsoC.i From the makers of Stardash (another great game) and Meganoid. Think INC is very underrated
