A great concept and a great twist on the bullet hell formula. At its low price, it really is worth a shot and you'll no doubt find yourself impressed by the graphical style.

It's going to sell to fans of the original, but if it comes down to what is the best Rube Goldberg puzzler on the App Store, this comes in a distant second.

This is still a classic and still a fantastic game that needs to be played by any and all RPG lovers. The controls can be very, very irritating at times but the core experience, characters and storyline have weathered the storm of porting and still provide as much enjoyment as they ever had. I'm still kind of cheesed-off by the butchering of Frog's script, though.

Zombies, Run! effortlessly blends fitness and fun. Runners will enjoy the top notch story and its professional quality audio production. The progression of the story and the incentives and rewards received for running will also give runners that extra boost they might need to go just a little farther or just a little faster.

As far as line drawing games go, Twang The Fox is like a breath of fresh air for a genre that seems to have been on its last leg for quite some time.

A challenging combination of billiards and mini-golf, Super Paper Pool is rather fun for the skilful gamer.

Ever wanted to run a call center? Probably not, but Smooth Operators! makes the experience a lot more interesting than the real thing!

Build a base and explore the high seas in Rovio Stars' Plunder Pirates.

Looked at on its own (which I'm not sure it deserves) it's an enjoyable enough romp with plenty of replay value. And it's free, and it doesn't really push purchases on me, so that's all to be appreciated. Still, it would be nice to see these values applied to new ideas on iOS a bit more, right? Ah who are we kidding.

While able to be called "sufficient," considering there are no other licensed basketball titles in the App Store, NBA Elite 11 falls far short of what should be expected for an iOS sports game.

Circadia is a fun puzzle game that forgoes flashy graphics for clean visuals and a simple objective.

Dungeon Gems adds its own spin to the Puzzle & Dragons formula, but it's not quite enough to make it stand above the competition.

For $2.99 with the promise of more free levels to come, Brainssss is a great value. Any fan of RTS or zombies should grab this one.

Although a decent sized RPG, Across Age 2 is too derivative of its predecessor to offer anything new and different here.

In my opinion, it's a bit of a mess, lacking any real tie in to the movie, or reality. It does have a great 80's inspired sound track, though, and that just about covers the price of admission for me.

This one has enough potential to be as huge as its older siblings: Angry Birds and Cut the Rope.

Not a bad game. It's just kind of bland. Fans of Centipede might enjoy an iPad-friendly version of the game, and it does have gnomes in it. Everything is better with gnomes. It just doesn't take a lot of risks, doesn't do anything particularly unexpected.

If you're willing to tough it out, though, and if you want a deeper, more satisfying gaming experience than the next Doodle app, then you should play Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. It just might make a gamer out of you.

The Turtles finally come to iOS in the form of a lacklustre Endless Runner that demands a lot of grinding or in-app purchases.

F1 Challenge brings over 90 challenges of Formula 1 excitement, offering quick gameplay modes for all racing fans to enjoy while on the go.

A Facebook favorite comes to iOS, but on this format, it's not the King of the Card Game pack, just yet.

This action game combines role-playing elements, rhythm-based combat, and a sense of arcade brutality that makes it oddly compelling, frustrating, and kind of amazing.

Some control issues hamper the satisfaction behind Potatoman Seeks The Troof, but it's still pretty fun.

Sky Gnomes is an interesting short-term play experience, but those that try it out should be warned: the temptation to spend money on IAP will hit. Progress just feels too slow otherwise.

The player has so much more control in Super Crate Box than they do in Flip's Escape, and that's why I think that game works better with the same concept.

Star Trek Rivals is a card game many have seen before, but it's still a heck of a lot of fun regardless.

Craft a world and save some innocent people in this varied and highly enjoyable freemium world building game.

If you are looking for a competent clone of current JRPGs on console, then you have come to the right place. Just don't expect it to push the envelope any further than is ultimately necessary. Sadly, the curse of developers choosing to "play it safe" may have just claimed another victim.

A solid freemium game. It has simple controls, a cool, retro, aesthetic, and is easy to pick up and play. The in-game purchases aren't necessary and the ads aren't intrusive, so be sure to give it a try.

Temple Run: Oz is a movie tie-in version of Temple Run 2 that comes too close and adds too little in the way of good new elements to justify its existence.

A puzzler unlike others, Lost Toys is a gorgeous, other-worldly experience that evokes deep and utter absorption.

This naval strategy game's nuances are borderline inaccessible but with enough patience it can be fun. Sort of.

Like the original, only better.

The game definitely works as something that requires some thought, but nothing too strenuous.

Mittens is a physics-based puzzle game from Disney that looks great and is fun to play.

Dropchord is a hypnotic treat for the eyes, ears, and fingers.

If players can get past the learning curve though there’s a lot of content here to enjoy. There are even online, offline, and bot multiplayer modes. It’s a shame then that Strategy and Tactics: World War II is so unintuitive because there appears to be a solid little strategy game underneath.

Middle Manager of Justice is a shallow affair. One that shouldn't be as much fun as it actually is. Fortunately, it is fun and very addictive. After a time, players might find themselves repeating their actions but, ultimately, they won't care.

Blast aliens while avoiding abduction in Bill Killem - a retro platformer in which time is short.

Smash your way through Space with Marvel's cosmic misfits, the Guardians of the Galaxy. Just be prepared for some galactic grinding.

Sir Questionnaire’s lightweight roguelike action would be more enjoyable if not for a few bugs.

Redford the squishy monster is back for the second time in this vibrant, fast-paced, action-packed, and fun-filled endless jumper.

MetalStorm: Aces is one of the best flight simulators in the app store because of its look and the amount of content it packs in.

Stylish and gripping, The Detail is brief but wonderful.

Cover Orange 2 gets a lot of mileage out of its concept by being willing to be varied, and that makes it worthy of a download for those who still haven’t gotten enough of casual puzzlers, or feel the need to save fruit instead of slicing it up.

The graphics are polished, Mathilda will enthral little gamers while annoying those with younger siblings or children of their own in just the way intended, and the game uses a tried and true formula.

Even without the mysteriously absent staples, Dead Trigger is still a fun arcade-style zombie shooting romp. It's probably not going to make everyone happy (what game ever would?), but it certainly does a much better job than some of the competition.

Free-to-play or not, Real Racing 3 is a fantastic game that no iOS gamer should be without. Especially if they have Game Center friends to compete with.

There's a new freemium based Match-3 game to lose one's self to, and Farm Heroes Saga is a great example of the genre.

Disco Zoo provides more NimbleBit-style simulation fun, even if NimbleBit only published the game!

An enjoyable game, despite a few niggles. Of course, more maps would have been welcome, but what's included will keep the player busy for quite a while.

Roboto is slick, familiar and simultaneously fresh, and gamers old and new will welcome the sidescrolling action gaming fun.

It's a lot like Clash of Clans, but the use of the Star Wars license means you don't mind so much here.

Transformed in a way you wouldn't expect, Angry Birds Transformers is a quite entertaining auto-runner.

A sound game indeed. While it is a little easy for Bust-A-Move veterans thanks to the huge arrow directing your aim, it still provides you with just what you want and the addition of boss battles and the Jump Shot ability is bound to enthral fans.

Ignoring the bizarre internet quirks and slightly disappointing fifth consecutive series of minor missteps, Zenonia 5 easily does the series proud.

The design has charm, but because there is so much starting over the game can feel a little repetitive. That's offset, however, by the moments of real humor and the solid old school gameplay.

There's a lot to like about Red Nova; it sweats the little details, and whilst it may not last for long it's certainly good fun.

If anything, Corporate Fury is definitely one of the more well thought-out games in the App Store.

There are some things that I would like to see added on in the future, such as multiplayer and more bonuses, but the game is quite good as-is.

The only real limitation behind Garage Inc is that it's a little short.

Like you would expect from Com2uS, Heavy Gunner 3D is a quality game with surprising depth.

If you like action games that make you think, Silent Swords ZERO is a great choice. The graphics are cute, the controls make it fun, and the levels themselves are well-constructed, though somewhat linear.

The Inferno is a hellacious grind for sure, whose fun factor starts to slip as the levels get longer & more repetitive, and as you start to rack up an astronomical number of deaths. It will appeal to your sadistic streak, providing you have one.

Superfall is still a decent game; if you're looking for a minute's diversion, it's fine. But there just isn't enough substance, and it's too repetitive.

If funny Japanese things don't interest you, then DO NOT buy this one… you'll like it about as much as a scorpion bite. But, if the insanity of the land of the rising sun is your thing, then get it now.

Overall, Tunnel Shoot is a fun, simple game. It's a great casual shooter that's easy to figure out, but very difficult to master.

Galaxy Express makes for a pleasant change in a genre that's often infatuated by the urge to beat other people's high scores. Instead it's all about the journey rather than the destination.

A curious contradiction. With overly fast gameplay laced with story sections that feel too slow by comparison, and simple controls fused with menus that are often incomprehensible, this is a game that sometimes suffers from its dedication to the extremes.

The puzzles let Back to the Future Episode 4 down but it's the storyline that keeps players engrossed.

The only thing missing is any sort of social gaming network integration. This is a game that screams for achievements and leaderboards, and I hope to see some in an update soon.

There's a lot that needs to be worked on in Arcade Jumper. I'm a fan of retro-inspired games; this one just has some issues. I like many of its concepts and use of external controls, but it just needs a lot of work before it can be something really great.

Really, with the control flaws, and with so many other physics puzzlers that aren't as frustrating to control, why spend any time on this one? It's not bad…but there are a million alternatives. Play one of them first.

Players looking for a quick bite of old-school racing action on their iOS device will be right at home with Retro Racing.

It's clearly obvious that Sugar High borrows a little too much from Tiny Wings but it will appeal to those whose Tiny Wings abilities have plateaued and who fancy a new challenge. The new additions to this game make such copying more forgivable, also, as they are fun.

There are only 24 levels. There's replay value because players can go back and try to finish each level with three bombs (the least amount of turns). But even after doing that, the total playtime of the game is relatively low for a $2.99 game.

Pastry Panic is, quite simply, another pick-up-and-play iOS game destined for Classic status. There've been a lot of those lately, haven't there? Not that I'm complaining.

Pocket Heroes shows immense promise and is plenty interesting as-is when everyone is active. But that's the rub. Only time will tell if it will become a hub of activity or a complete ghost town.

Button Brigade is still a nifty game with some clever ideas and interesting puzzles, but the control issues become a bigger issue as the difficulty ramps up. They don't make it unplayable, but getting through this button pusher will require a fair amount of patience.

SolaRola is a decent little addition to the company's immense portfolio, even if it's a platformer that's more B-status than AAA – not that that's a bad thing.

The storyline is new and interesting and the gameplay kept me wanting more. The game is priced on the higher end of the spectrum but the quality will not disappoint.

A fairly cute and amusing package, though. The slight addition of RPG elements to help buffer spells and amulets between battles, along with the fairly difficult achievements for each individual level give plenty of incentive to go back and try again, as returning will not result in just rehashing with the exact same power level. And again, if humor and writing are something to be appreciated, this game has quite a bit on offer.

Admittedly there aren't many endless falling titles on the App Store at the moment, but this game sets the bar for any others that might follow.

Fans of endless racers that feel like the genre has been lacking zombies (because they're so underrepresented in modern culture) or just want an interesting new twist on the familiar concept should check this one out.

It’s remarkably different from the direction the rest of the App Store has taken, and it’s worthy for the way it and its creator have stood tall in making it. But beyond that the game is perfect for pick up and play, and has plenty of satisfying fast-paced action and insanity to be definitely worth checking out.

Sporos intrigued me somewhat but unfortunately its too-basic premise left me wanting more from the game, and yet somehow also less from it.

Vampires are fun to blow to bits once or twice. Too bad that is all there is to do.

Random Heroes 2 includes more weapons, more levels, and otherwise trumps the original in every conceivable way.

Greedy Grub is certainly adorable, but it's not particularly ground-breaking.

Based on the viral smash hit, Dumb Ways to Die is a fun way to kill time (and cute little characters).

Total Domination: Reborn does a lot of things right but the PvP elements feel a bit too extreme.

Lub vs Dub is a fairly bland runner that’s much more interesting with a second player.

Help a group of vampires avoid death by sunlight in this imaginative, challenging, and beautiful adventure game.

Lose yourself in the clever, revamped Happy HIlls 2: Bombs Away! This puzzle-within-a-puzzle physics challenge lays down the gauntlet. It's up to you to pick it up!

SFH:E implements a cover system and several exciting set pieces to make it a truly unique and action-packed endless runner.

What was old isn't new again. In fact, this iOS port may do more harm to the Baldur's Gate brand than good.

Questionable design choices and punishingly punitive gameplay make for a somewhat disappointing follow-up to Foursaken Media's smash hit.

Negotiate various traps and spikes in order to get the zombies away from the Grim Reaper's clutches in this quite fun puzzle game.
