    You should have grabbed it while it $6.99. It blows everything else in the genre out of the waters, besides Space Miner, but that's a stretch to consider it the same genre. However, if you have tried Warpgate, Galaxy on Fire 1, or Ultraviolet Dawn, this game is out their league. Honestly, I'd say go for the 9.99 price tag.

    I'll be more specific next time I ask for recommendations. I want a list of the best innovated pick up and play games. Games like Space Miner, Canabalt, Edge, Hook games, Osmos, Kosmos Spin, Helsings Fire, etc. Simple games like that. Gimme some recommendations.


    Ps: I would kill to get the old Sierra games on here. Kings, Space, Police and Heros Quests. Leisure Suit Larry too. Kill, I mean it ;)

    Are there any more games like Civilization Revolution (existing or in development)- where the random map or area is revealed as your unit moves? Thanks!

    Yeah they are great games, but I already have them =( hahahahaa

    And yeah I put Dun. Defenders in the RPG category cause it seems to be more of a RPG game with TD elements, not the other way around. There's a lot to it. I dunno. It's an awesome mesh of both either way. Just hard to control and still have some update-wishes for it.

    hahaha no sweat brah. Anything really. I am more of an RPG and shooter guy, but I delve into all genres of gaming, especially on iOS. I just named off those apps so people can suggest other things other than those apps. I am up for any of those categories though ^.^

    Huge rpg fan here. Hm, there's no trace of any KRPGs like zenonia/inotia on your list so i'm not sure if you're interested, but wild frontier came out today at only 0.99. It's probably my favorite one to date besides inotia 3, which is 5x the price

    Trenches is great too, and made a huge comeback to the top 5 recently. I got it a year ago, but the recent global multiplayer update really brought life into the game. There's always someone online (lots of people), and it's really fun. Only 0.99.

    You're not really missing any shooters.

    If you're ever going to buy a 'casual' game in your life, it's gotta be Game Dev Story. Look into that one definitely. 3.99, check out the lite and all the reviews if you're in doubt.

    Hook worlds is the best survival running game of them all. Only 0.99

    You don't have cut the rope!? There's so many levels, and plenty of them take some pretty critical thinking. There's a ton of content, and there's been 4 new level packs updated into the game already. Another 0.99

    7.99 well spent if you ask me. I'm always pretty loaded with iTunes credit, but this is definitely how I would spend it if I were limited.

    What game should i keep on my ipod for multiplayer only right now? Not enough memory space for both...

    N.O.V.A. 2 -i love instagib but the other matches are to full of the alien laser and rocket launcher

    Modern Combat 2 -i love it but it's real buggy and i find myself wanting to throw my ipod against the wall occasionally.

    So which should i have JUST for the multi player? i've done story mode on both already.

    NOVA 2. It's vastly better but almost twice as big.

    Definitely keep Nova 2; it's worth the extra memory.

    It's a game of hide and seek where any noob can gun you down in less than 3 seconds. You have no chance if you get sneaked up on or respawn at a terrible place. The game modes blow..CTF on a modern shooter is just..ugh. Even worse is the diffusion mode. In nova 2, it takes skill to get kills. It's also more fair. You can play game modes like instagib to gain levels and new weapons before hitting up dm/tdm. Everyone has to use the same weapons in these modes. But yeah, hide and seek.

    In N.O.V.A. 2 i'm a higher level then most people i see (i'm 53) so i have all the guns (except the second laser) but i still prefer instagib or ones with everyone having the same weapons because all the tdm's i join are full of people with the alien laser draining my health at before i can turn to face them.
