Top 10 iPhone Games of All Time ~ THEGAMETECH

Perhaps it is the sensitive touch screen, the straightforward interface, or the ubiquitous nature of the iPhone among us today that accounts for its insane popularity, but there is no denying that the iPhone as a gaming platform is here to stay.

Today, we bring you the top 10 must-try iPhone games of all time.

10. Plants Vs Zombies

In the wildly popular tower defence game, you are a farmer that has to pick from 48 different types of plants to cultivate on your lawn to defend yourself from a zombie invasion. With its comically animated zombies and catchy soundtrack that grows on you, Plants vs Zombies is definitely on its way to being a classic.

9. Canabalt

In Canabalt, you control a guy on the run attempting to escape the demolition of your city. Using only one control (tapping the screen enables you to jump), you will have to avoid obstacles like boxes and crumbling buildings.

While uncomplicated, it is addictive in its simplicity. With its pixel art graphics and soundtrack that matches the game perfectly, game developers Semi Secret Software have themselves a winning formula.

8. Bookworm

A clone of its PC version, Bookworm is an addictive word-forming game that requires the player to form words with adjacent letter tiles. Twists are involved in the form of fire-burning tiles that are dropped onto the grid. With an extensive library, simple controls and cute graphics, it’s no wonder this classic gem has remained a crowd favourite since its release in 2009.

7. N.O.V.A

N.O.V.A (Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance) is a first person shooter game with local and online multiplayer modes. Its unique controls allows for flexibility in controls for your character by dragging and dropping elements as you please. With a combination of smooth action, effort in characterization and easy controls, N.O.V.A combines all goodness of a full-fledged PC game with the added convenience of portability.

6. Peggle

Reminiscent of pachinko, you are given a canon with 10 silver balls in it. In a test of physics and geometry, you are required to clear the screen of pegs by hitting them with the silver balls. Along the way, different coloured pegs will activate different bonuses or setbacks. A game that is half tactical precision and half chance, it is sure to keep you riveted for hours.

5. iBlast Moki

This is a physics-based puzzle game wherein you place bombs at strategic areas so as to propel the colourful Moki balls into exit portals throughout the level. With tools like ropes, balloons and rods, you are also able to set off bombs at different timings to create a domino effect that boosts the Moki balls to safety. Highly challenging and rewarding, iBlast Moki earns a nod for its realistic premise and easy controls, with colourful and cute graphics to boot.

4. Cut the Rope

Another engaging puzzle game that tests your skills of judgment and physics, the goal of the game is to deliver a piece of candy into a monster’s mouth by cutting ropes and using other tools. You are also able to replay levels as many times as you like in order to get the full three stars. Challenging puzzles, simple controls and adorable graphics, Cut the rope is an engaging game you won’t be able to put down.

3. Doodle Jump

In this game, you control a little green alien that is jumping continuously. The goal of the game is to reach as high a platform as possible while avoiding obstacles like crumbling platforms and UFO abductors. As you play, the global high-score marker at the right side of the screen eggs you on, keeping you addicted with the desire to improve your ranking.

2. Bejeweled 2

A classic, old-school game, Bejeweled 2 is a perfect replica of the PC version. In a grid of 8x8 squares filled by jewels of different colours, we must align at least 3 of the same kind in order for them to vanish. The controls are simpler than ever: simply touch the 2 jewels to be swapped. While nothing new, this game is definitely essential in every mobile device for those times when we’re in need of distraction.

1. Angry Birds

A hot favourite, Angry Birds is a challenging puzzle game which combines logic and skill with trial and error. You launch various types of birds with different abilities into the pigs’ fortress, with the aim of destroying them all. Highly addictive, the game has gathered a cult following, with merchandise such as plushies, Halloween costumes and even cake decorations made in their honour. With seasonal releases of new levels, there is no doubt that Angry Birds is here to stay, and will be on the charts for a long time to come.
