Why IOS Rocks: The Gritty Reboot - IOS Gaming at its finest [Image heavy!]

Wario64

works for Gamestop (lol)
It was removed? Damn, that was a great game
Any reasons why? I'm assuming IOS 8 issues

Probably publishing issues or whatever, I remember the game was actually re-listed again under a different seller and you had the option to buy it again (2 leaderboards, etc.)

I just realized I have the app backed up on my computer. Tried it on my 6 Plus and it looks like sound effects don't play but music does. Oh well. I'm getting skeptical of iOS games now with the recent iOS broken games. Seems like support on some games don't continue because of money or whatever
 
Sorry for the lack updates, been busy. Here are ten more games that are definitely worth checking out

Very awesome thread. Thank you for your hard work on the thread, M_B!

So, what are the very best games here that are also available on Android, especially as a Nintendo fan? I would prefer no recommendations of games that are also on Wii U, 3DS or PS3. Thanks!
 
Can anyone recommend an iOS equivalent to Bust-A-Move/Puzzle Bobble that has none of that bad F2P bullshit? My mother has quite a few of those and I want to find her one that can cure her of said addiction.
