Electromaster is perfect for you if you want a dose of that classic arcade-style game. To win the game, you must use your electric powers to ward off the enemies, who happen to be little girls, in order to save your sister. Gameplay is rather fast paced and can get quite challenging. An Asian vibe gives this really simple game a breath of uniqueness.
League of Evil

Hey look, it’s a platformer! That’s right, League of Evil is one of the best platformers out there, and its 8-bit graphics just make it that much cooler. This game comes packed with tons of missions, and guarantees tons of active play time. It gives the same amount of challenge that you’d get from your favorite games on other platforms, too. League of Evil costs just $1.99, which is a steal if you ask me.
Pocket Planes
Price: Free

Pocket Planes is the newest addition to the Nimblebit family and boy is it fun. In Pocket Planes, you are in control of your own airline. Everything from the planes to the shipments to the airports is all under your control. Gameplay is very involved and addicting—it is the game you can sit and play for hours. Best yet, it can be downloaded for free.
Run Run Riot!
Price: Free
Click to download
Look out below! Run Run Riot! is perhaps the fastest, craziest game that is in this roundup. In Run Run Riot!, you must run quickly from side to side while trying to avoid being hit by the falling birds. Rounds usually end pretty quickly as the bird downfall increases at a very rapid rate, so this is a great game if you’re short on time. Run Run Riot! is yours for the low price of free.
Super Mega Worm
Price: $1.99
Click to download
Destruction is your main goal in Super Mega Worm as you arise from the underworld to terrorize the Earth’s population because of their rash actions towards the globe. Gameplay is fun and addictive, and the short campaign makes it perfect for a short game break. It’s also perfect for you gore-goers out there: blood and guts spew all over the place as your rise from down below. Hey, at least it’s for a good cause. Super Mega Worm can be purchased for $1.99.
Tiny Tower
Price: Free
Click to download
Yes, another Nimblebit game but it is just that awesome. The older brother to Pocket Planes, Tiny Tower makes you the owner of your very own apartment complex. In addition to housing people, you must build commercial levels such as restaurants, stores, factories, and more to employ and please those who visit. As your tower grows taller, the more interesting and appealing it becomes. You can download Tiny Tower for free.
XLARGE® "X-Sk8er"
