I did, more or less.  Speaking of Cave, there's a Deathsmiles port as well as a multiplayer update for Bug Panic coming out this spring. |

Tiny Wings has me enthralled lately. I'm a sucker for anything with procedurally generated content.

Daily procedural content.

Just tried it out - it's fun. Glad they zoom out the camera -- my main issue with Wavespark was inability to predict future slopes when high in the air (a map showing what's coming up would have worked fine too). Had a bit of trouble playing like Wavespark (where you hug the ground tight b/c you can't predict very well). Different gravity physics I guess. I'll have to try it again before deciding to buy or not. |

Retro Flight seems pretty cool. I was worried about the controls at first but... They seem pretty good actually. I only just finished the tutorial, now to see if it's actually any fun!

Final fantasy is on the app store, isn't it?

I think what frustrates me most from apps on the store are apps which simply use a virtual dpad. That shit is annoying and stupid and shows a lack of interest in redesigning a game around the concept of a touchpad. This is why I like the Cave ports: DFK and ESP2 (haven't played Mushihime port yet) have specific, iPhone designed modes that take advantage of the touchscreen in extra ways, and the arcade ports simply use the touchscreen for moving around. A++.
If it hasn't already been suggested (and if it has, second vote), Infinity Blade is super great.

Helsing's fire puzzles are cool. You get more points the less people have solved them. |

Tiny Wings is a fun time waster and one of the best "one button" games on the Appstore. I have to say I didn't find the "procedural" stuff overly impressive though. It's a simple random level generator that suits the purpose of the game, being an "endless" highscore run and all. The color schemes changing every day is a neat gimmick but I sort of fail to see what the big deal is.

A++. Yup, virtual d-pads suck and the Cave ports are excellent. Mushihime Bug Panic isn't a port though, it's an original game in the style of Appstore "dual stick" shooters like Minigore and iDracula. Suffice to say it's above and beyond most of the other entries in this genre and just like Cave's ports, plays excellently on the iPhone. I think I already posted this here, but a multiplayer update for Bug Panic and a Deathsmiles port are coming out "this spring", according to Cave. I suspect April. |

I didn't mean to sound like I was saying the procedural generation itself was something special. I just think they use it very well as a retention device. I am happy to log in once a day because I know the terrain will be different each time. If it wasn't, I would have memorized enough of the islands to be getting bored by now.

Here's awesome stuff I'm playing right now:  Yes, I've fallen for the terrible Angry Birds fad...but it's fun stuff to distract the mind in the bus. Missing are Real Racing 2 and Zen Bound 2, excellent as well. In the folders, other awesome stuff that I completed/am not playing atm:   |

ChuChu Rocket! is one of the top ten best puzzle games ever made.
No hyperbole.
