games with high replay value

[senorian]

I'm looking for some games (free or pay) with high replay value. I bought Texas Hold'Em which was fun but the AI was sketchy. I purchased Trism which is fun but I just can't figure out scoring. can you guys list some good recommendations?
my games purchased:
Tap Tap
LED Football
Trism
cube runner
onnomnom
tris
all papi games
TanZen
Fuzzle
Dactyl

[madfresh]

Try Spinner. It's a pretty fun game I'm not sure how many levels there are as I have not beaten the game it.

[OrangeCuse44]

Solebon Solitaire. 99 cents for hours and hours of card games. Perfectly executed game.

I keep finding myself playing Crash Bandicoot and Flick Bowling. Neither are Nintendo DS or Sony PSP worthy but for a phone, what the hell. :rolleyes:

[TopToffee]

Air Hockey:

only 99c

the clattering of the puck is the sound of my addiction :D

[Rayfire]

Galcon Multiplayer (online)

It is highly addictive when you compete with other people, as it is fast paced and you need to be quick on making your tactics/strategies or else you'll loose to other real players. Perfect time-killer (shall I say time-consuming addictive app)

[geekmommy4]

I find myself going back to Cubes and Sextuple Word Challenge. They both have free versions so that you can check them out. I liked them both enough to pay for them.

Dizzy Bee! It's relatively easy to get through but trying to beat each level with 'crown' rating is intense. It was one of the first apps I purchased and my wife and I still play it to this day. Only two levels off beating it 100%. Beautifully polished game.

Puzzloop!!!

I've been getting nice comments about the replay value of my game, Hiqup (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=290603657&mt=8).

Also, I'm finding that Moonlight Mahjong (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284943962&mt=8) has high replay value not just because of the number of boards included but also because it has a board editor built in and I believe you can also download extra boards - it is by far the best of the Mahjong games I've tried.

Scrabble. It's basically the same thing over and over, but the whole word puzzle part gets you thinking and keeps it from being boring.

I spent $6 on Cro-Mag Rally. At $2, it's a steal.

I haven't really found too many (Aurora Feint is basically advanced Tetris, but it was free). Tap Tap Revenge isn't bad either, but it does get old. The best idea is to find a stash of cheap or free simple games that vary in style.

[Siriosys]

My 2 Favs would have to be:


Enjoy Sudoku (Paid version)

Hi, my name's Siriosys and I'm a Sudokuholic! I LOVE THIS GAME.
This seems to be one of the better Sudoku games out there with what I call 'authentic' Sudoku puzzles (35,000 onboard)


Labyrinth (Paid version)

I love the sounds in this game - they're very well done and the physics feels just right. The promise of more downloadable mazes is a great idea too.

[fastbite]

Newtonica for me.

[Yasic]

Fuzzle got me really good. allthough it still lets you play when the game is allready lost, say too many balls on the field, but still.

I like Tris too, but somehow after level 15 it doesn't get any faster, the challenge is missing,

and then of course, bejeweled is always worth the time

[rKunda]

Galcon rules. Wurdle seems pretty fun, too.

[asta-roth]

At first I had Wurdle, then I played Texas Hold'em quite a lot, but after that for around 8 days straight, whenever I have time I play Galcon (multi). As some said before, it's just amazing, fast-paced, strategic game I can't keep my hands off:) What's even more amazing it's such a "simple" idea.

[ebutka]

Line Rider for sure!!

[icewing]

Toy Bot Diaries - check out the free version first. Great game, wish it was longer.

Sudoku Classic - free. Tried a few different ones and I like this interface the best. Only drawback is that I wish it had it's own sound controls.

[ballen420]

Wurdle is very addicting.

Solitaire City as well. I bought it by accident but find it my most used app.

[senorian]

thanks for all the recommendations guys. i'll be checking out these games for sure.

[SwingOnThis]

For simple and addicting, it doesn't get better than Expando.

[kshep]

A lot of people have commented that my game Imangi (http://www.linktoapp.com/imangi) has a high replay value. It includes a few different game play options to suit your mood. Standard, Speed, Daily Challenges, and Friend Challenges. We have about 50 people a day play the daily challenge which is really fun.

I also seem to play the following games over and over too: Subway Shuffle, Tap Tap Revenge, Labyrinth, and Dizzy Bee.

[soberbrain]

Crash
Zen Pinball
Galcon (multiplayer)

for me.

[netdog]

I am fininding Torus (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=289914201&mt=8) to be totally addictive. It's cheap too.

[WhySoSerious]

Galcon, iCopter, PapiJump PLUS

[eudell]

Solebon Solitaire. 99 cents for hours and hours of card games. Perfectly executed game.

I cannot agree more. I access this game/app more than twice a day. It's just tremendous.

And kudos to the developer for giving the masses an opportunity to get the full title "on the cheap" for at least a few days, instead of offering a lame "lite" version for free.

THIS is how it should be done!

[netdog]

Torus.

Man, I have blown through my battery too many times because I just can't put it down.

Here is a review (http://toucharcade.com/2008/09/29/a-quick-look-at-torus-for-the-iphone/) and the iTunes link (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=289914201&mt=8) to the game.

[krosario]

fieldrunners does it for me...

Papijump, although it's super simple, almost every day I find myself trying to be the highest scorer... simple and addicting

[DigMe]

(Aurora Feint is basically advanced Tetris, but it was free).


Am I the only one that feels that the strategies at play for Aurora Feint bear little resmblance to the strategies of Tetris?

I've found AF to have great replay value. Trying to go for high-and-higher multipliers (I've only gotten up to 12x so far) and higher levels is kind of addictive.

[SFC Archer]

I keep playing the following over and over and over...

1) Mondo...hundreds of solitaire games when I am in the card playing mode.

2) Aurora Feint...The closest to RPG that is repeatable and does not get boring until a better one comes out like Guild Wars or LOTHRO

3) Galcon...Best shooter/strategic re-playable game there is.

4) Moonlight Mahjong...I have always loved this puzzle game and this one does it the best...so many choices and challenges.

5) Everest...Still new to me, but again I like puzzles and this one does it right with good graphics.

These are the five I play the most and will always be on my iPhone.

Some honorable mentions that are still on iPhone but just get activated occasionally are:
Billy Frontier
Cannon Game
Invasion
MissileCmnd
Space Out
Spore
ToyBot
Trism

Removed/Deleted to boring or just not re-playable for whatever limits it has
Super Monkey Dud...To difficult
Tris
Tap Tap Revenge
Space Invaders Lite...Complete Failure
Solitaire Forever
Lumen
Mahjong Solitaire
Garf

[shinji]

Field runners and motion-x poker (which is not really poker, it's a dice game with beautiful graphics that uses the accelerometer)

[Compile 'em all]

Wurdle is very addicting.

Solitaire City as well. I bought it by accident but find it my most used app.

another vote for wurdle. great game!
