Rocket Bunnies by Defiant Development
(4.7/5) Rocket Bunnies for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad is an example of a rare occurrence in the app store- a completely original game. The characters, graphics, and concept and all original and unique to Rocket Bunnies. The game itself is very fun, and has a cute storyline full of- you guessed it- bunnies! You must fly through your rocket and tap on other planets to enter their orbit and feed the hungry rabbits. The game can become slightly repetitive, since the entire game is essentially the same with changes in level design. You have to pay attention to timing, because there are obstacles that get in your way such as mines, electric portals, and more. The music is comprised of catchy, fast-paced electric piano tunes, which is semi-fitting for the game. Overall, Rocket Bunnies is a great original game that is available on the app store for $0.99. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/rocket-bunnies/id497870755?mt=8&ls=1

Duckers by Retro Dreamer
(4.9/5) Duckers for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad is a game from the developers of the award-winning game Velocispider. In Duckers, you play as one of many adorable animals that want to find jewels and money. The game is very simple and easy to learn and master. You must drag a little blue fireball and aim how far and how much power to use while drilling underground. While going deeper, you'll want to collect things like gems, coins, andante collectables. The graphics, unlike Velocispider, have a very smooth and beautiful cartoonish style. Duckers has fun, cheerful music, and makes the game great for kids. The only downside of Duckers is earning coins. Coins in-game are very sparse, and don't have much value. You do have the option of in-app purchases to help you, though. You can use coins that you've earned to purchase new characters, worlds to explore, and useful power-ups. Overall, Duckers is a cute and fun game that is great for kids and adults alike. Duckers is available on the app store for free. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/duckers/id433010312?ls=1&mt=8

Heroes Call by Defiant Development
(4.4/5) Heroes Call for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad is an action RPG. The graphics are great, and resembles those of the Diablo series of games. The game is split into over 30 levels and 40 quests. The dialogue for each character is different, which encourages playing the game multiple times as different characters. You can start with one of two free characters, a priest or a knight. Each of the characters have their own advantages and disadvantages. The music makes every adventure feel all the more epic, which is awesome. The character is controlled by swipes and taps, which is an interesting control scheme for this type of game. The game is full of monsters to brutally kill with an assortment of weapons. You can edit the character's armor, weapons, and skills in the menus or after a level-up. After completing a mission, you can either wait for the next "summon" to be made, or you can pay with in-game coins (which can either be earned or purchased via in-app-purchases). Heroes Call is a great clone of the Diablo games for iOS, and is definitely worth checking out for free. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/heroes-call/id497600547?mt=8&ls=1

Extreme Skater by Miniclip.com
(3.9/5) Extreme Skater for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad is a game almost exactly like one of Miniclip.com's iPhone games, iStunt 2. In Extreme Skater, you can play as one of many unlockable characters. The game's music is good, especially on the main menu. The graphics are essentially the same as iStunt 2, but with minor changes such as skateboards instead of snowboards. The game has 2 worlds with a bunch of levels, but each one takes only around a minute to complete. However, more levels and worlds will be added in the future. The game is controlled by tilting to do mid-air flips and wheelies, and by swipes and taps to perform tricks. Overall, Extreme Skater is almost exactly like iStunt 2, and it could even be considered a spin-off series. Extreme Skater is available on the app store for $0.99. http://appshopper.com/link/extreme-skater

Snabbit by TapCat
(4.2/5) Snabbit for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad is the "spiritual successor" to TapCat's previous game, Snake Race (free). In Snabbit, you control the titular creature, a combination of a snake and a rabbit, to get to a finish line while collecting gems and stars. The gameplay is essentially the same as Snake Race- you make the snabbit turn by tapping on the left or right side of the screen. The game has a large amount of developer-made levels, and there is a level editor in the game. The music, which is the same in the menus and in the levels, sounds great. The graphics are much better than that of Snake Race. Snabbit is essentially a revamped version of the Snake Race in every aspect. Snabbit is available on the app store for $1.99. http://appshopper.com/link/snabbit

Slingshot Racing by Crescent Moon Games
(4.8/5) Slingshot Racing for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad is yet another amazing game published by Crescent Moon Games. The graphics and visuals are amazing, both in the menus and during gameplay. The game's graphics are beautiful on any device, and make the game stand out. The music, composed by Studio96, sounds great in-game during races. The races can be played either in single-player mode, which has 16 worlds, each one having 4 levels with high replay value, or in a multiplayer mode that can be played with either bots or other people. Disappointingly, there is no online multiplayer, or even local multiplayer. The controls in Slingshot Racing are unique. You must use one finger to tap and hold in order for your car to send out a rope and latch on to spinning machines. When you release your finger, the car will be launched off in the direction the car was spinning in like a slingshot (hence the game's title). Overall, Slingshot Racing is a game that you should definitely check out because of its awesome graphics, addictive gameplay, and good music. Slingshot Racing is available on the app store for $0.99. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/slingshot-racing/id516349924?ls=1&mt=8

Tick Flick by Glitch Game Studios
(3.8/5) Tick Flick for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad is a game that is less-than-stellar. The game has long loading times, which will last 2-3 seconds each time. The graphics are okay, with customizable menu backgrounds and cute "ticks" to be launched. The game has 80 levels of launching a "tick" from a barrel. You must drag from the barrel to choose where to launch the tick to and how powerful the shot should be, while attempting to find a way to collect all of the stars in each level. While dragging, your thumb will cover up most of the line showing you the ticks' path. The music is eerie, and seems unfitting in my opinion. Overall, Tick Flick is a game with potential that has yet to be reached. The controls and music could be changed for the better, along with the icon. Tick Flick is available on the app store for $0.99. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tick-flick/id525349181?mt=8&ls=1
