Fieldrunners was big – the first or one of the first tower defense games on iOS. iBlast Moki was an early and very popular physics game, just before Angry Birds came along.
MENTIONED: Angry Birds, Flight Control, I'LL ADD: Ascension: Deck Building Game, Sentinel (the Tower Def. game), Paper Toss, Dungeon Hunter, Lunar Race, (most games by Donut Games)
Little Runner- managed to see this is still on the store after all this time! Shibuya (Blendoku) Alien space League of Evil?
A yes for me on LOE. I dont think it's been updated to 64-bit though... Maybe the third one is? Really glad that LOE 2 and 3 just tweaked the physics and added more stages to the original formula and didnt change too much. The first one was almost perfect at what it is trying to be. The graphic overhaul was a bit of a hit or miss to fans of the original, but im fine with it considering they really kept intact what made LOE a fantastic title for me.
I loved Shibuya. That along with Pix'n Love Rush and Forget me Not were the only games on my phone for some time.
Yeah it was a good one, have to check out those other two. Another mention maybe: Robot Unicorn Attack
Aaaaaand... DREAM QUEST! Haha boom! Definitely worth it. The game is amazing. No other game managed to capture the dungeon crawling plus deck building mix
Lot of great games on this "list." Brings back memories. Two oldies I'm surprised haven't been mentioned yet were Dungeon Hunter 1 & 2. While not the best games, they were still fun and premium(iirc). They also came out at a time where they were one of, if not the first, quality diablo-esq dungeon crawlers out. Too bad they can't be played anymore. Lost support ages ago.
Tiny Wings I know it's been mentioned on this list, but I still play Tiny Wings all the time. It's been years. That Wahooooooo is so satisfying.
Can't believe nobody's mentioned the RocketCat classics, Hook Champ and Super Quickhook. Sadly lost in the iOS 11 transition, but were absolutely phenomenal. The newer games in their catalog, like Wayward Souls and Death Road to Canada, are also fantastic.
That company (Game something?) really used to be THE developer for iOS. They were basically riffing on premium games, but the App Store was sparse enough all those games felt like gold. Really great stuff. That developer isn't even around iirc, or at least their star has fallen. EDIT: It was Gameloft. And they are still around, but they do a lot of Freemium games and tie ins now. The old premium stuff has all aged out.
Let us not forget Space Miner And the games by Tiger Style specifically the Spider games. Also, I didnt see Puzzle Quest 2 which still works under ios 11.
These are fantastic lists. 10000000, which hasn’t been mentioned, is an all time favorite of mine. You Must Build A Boat is right up there, too, but, of course later in the timeline.
Never forget Space Miner! Especially since the developer is still supporting it 7 years after release!
