Touch Arcade: When Andreas Illiger released Tiny Wings [$0.99] in February of last year, nobody had any idea the kind of success it would become. Sure, it’s easy to look back and see just how well he struck a balance between whimsical art design which hooked you on a deep level and brilliantly simple game design which was perfectly suited to mobile.
"Let's face it: game downloads are bigger than every before, both in popularity and sheer size. But you don't need to regret cheaping out and buying the iPad with the smallest amount of storage."
With the App Store celebrating it’s 5th Anniversary this week, they are giving up some of the great games of all time for free. This includes Infinity Blade 2, Where’s My Water, Tiny Wings, Tiny Wings HD, Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP and Badland.
Chris Buffa (Modojo): Here we are, the best iOS games of the year. We started with a list of 200, whittled that down to about 100, then the gloves came off, as we fought to include certain titles and said painful goodbyes to others. The result is a snapshot of 2012, the 50 iPhone and iPad games that stood out the most. That said, join us each day as we make the countdown. On that note, it's time for games 30-21.
