Nyan Cat. Yeah, I said it. Don't act like you don't have it! :D

Definitely second Forget-Me-Not, though it's miles better on PC IMO with the massive playfield.

Agreed. The ability to use keyboard or controller also helps... the iOS version is really good, but the controls have always seemed just a tad screwy

Beat Hazard Ultra - twin stick shooter (can be played single stick) that uses your music as the BG track and generates the levels from it.

Freezing Birds - A twist on the usual match 3, as you have to slide the columns around to match. Not bad for a freebie.

Piyo Blocks 2 - Zookeeper/Bejeweled clone. Free again.

Retro Racing - Overhead racing game. No doubt you know about this one already.

Rogue Runner - a runner that has different vehicles etc, so you jump and shoot stuff. Nicely presented.
Don't Run With a Plasma Sword - more like Bit Trip Runner than Canabalt

Mechanic Panic - one button climber, avoid falling debris, electric shocks, rescue falling people. Really nicely presented, I really like this.

Goat Up - Possibly my favourite climber, a regular 'on the toilet' game. Climb as high as you can, kiss the Billy's, have kids and find as many unique things in the levels as you can. Classic Minter in non-violent mode.

Deflex - allegedly a chill out game, expect frustration in equal measure when you mess it up.

Minotron - Its Llamatron on iOS, how can that not be good?
The Retro League - Where skill isn't an obstacle

Hey all! Wanted to chime in with a suggestion for a retro game that I think (bias: the one-man dev team here, speaking :D) you all might like!

Carota! just came out on the App Store this week, and it's been hell trying to build an audience. Though people that have played it are really enjoying it! It definitely draws inspiration from SNES graphics, but I'd like to think there's also some solid gameplay in it. It draws from Pipe Mania and Tetris Plus (on the PSX). Check out more by sending me a PM as I know it's bad form to come here and spam my game with my first post

Thanks!
