Time Ducks takes the cake for me. Pizza vs. Skeletons is pretty damn weird. You also might want to try Catball Eats it All. You see, you're a cat. With no legs or arms; yo know, a ball 'o cat. You inflate yourself to float, roll, and bounce yourself around a circular, bizarrely shaped world to eat all sort of stuff, then, when fully fattened, you Eat the game world up piece by piece.

Preferably iPad compatible, but gameplay over graphics. Inexpensive would be a nice feature too. Thanks again.
