One of best ways to keep up with all the fun new games out there is by following a bunch of iPhone app blogs. These blogs usually post about games as soon as they are released, and sometimes give out coupons, or answers questions from users. Now you don’t have to go all over the place looking for good, quality iOS Games Blogs. Below you will find a list of the best ones that I am aware of.

Rocket League Sideswipe
Rocket League Sideswipe is a combination of soccer, fast cars and rocket fuel. In the real world, that mix would cause news headlines for all the wrong reasons; but on your iPhone, it makes for a giddy, intoxicating mash-up of arcade action and online multiplayer battles.

The aim in the standard game is to use your flying car to score more goals than your opponent, although each Rocket League Sideswipe season adds variations to the mix, such as outlandish takes on basketball and volleyball. Whether partaking in one-on-one or two-on-two bouts, it’s loads of fun.
Smartly, the game includes solo and AI training modes, so you can get to grips with its controls and master how the physics and inertia affects your car. Before long, you’ll be blasting the ball goalward and celebrating with yet another show-off mid-air vehicular somersault.

Froglike: The Frog Roguelike
Froglike: The Frog Roguelike rethinks Frogger for the modern mobile era. Rather than tasking an amphibian with crossing a road and a river, everything’s a bit more ambitious here. You must keep the Lily of Time alive, in order to stop the end of time itself. Yikes!
What this means in gameplay terms is jumping around lily pads and ideally parking your froggy butt on the biggest lily, to charge it up until a portal appears. You can then choose a power-up before returning to the fray. The entire game is quite a brawl, featuring all kinds of enemies keen to send you plunging into the deadly drink surrounding the lilies.
With responsive controls, vibrant visuals and in-game upgrades, this top-notch high-score chaser radically improves on the decades-old classic that served as its inspiration.
Zombie Football

Zombie Football

Zombie Football is a deranged mash-up of exciting touchdown runs, The Walking Dead, and classic coin-op Gauntlet. In each level, the traditional green football field is peppered with obstacles, and hordes of lurching, ravenous undead. Clearly, the ratings needed a nudge.
Your aim in this free iPhone game is to not get horribly killed. You must figure out how to coax zombies this way and that (thereby clearing a path for your touchdown), avoid speed-sapping mud, and grab energy-boosting food that’s lying around. (Don’t think too much about the hygiene ramifications.)
It’s an entertainingly daft blast, not least when you realize your burly footballer can’t even stomp through cones, and so must gingerly thread his way through the gnashing, toothy opposition. Also, there are no ads, timers, or other cruft – free really does mean free here.
Yokai Dungeon

Yokai Dungeon
Yokai Dungeon is a fast-paced arcade title that involves running about and squashing demons. It’s set in a series of linked arenas, which are peppered with movable objects you can use to unsportingly squash your adversaries against a wall.
The Japanese-themed game looks superb, whether you’re moseying to the between-stages shop or taking on one of the large bosses in an end of stage battle. Most importantly, it plays really well, with fluid and intuitive controls.
With its grid-like structure and non-stop action, old hands might detect a hint of Bomberman; veterans will find Pengo coming to mind. But despite such retro inspiration, and the old-school pixel art, Yokai Dungeon feels every bit the modern iPhone title, with a sleek design, bite-sized battles, and approachable gameplay that’s suited to newcomers and seasoned gamers alike.

Knight Brawl

Knight Brawl
Knight Brawl takes the amusingly bouncy physics and frenetic skirmishes from Colin Lane’s mobile sports gems – Dunkers 2; Touchdowners; Rowdy Wrestling – and applies them to knights who fancy getting a bit stabby.
Your knights leap about the place in a somewhat controllable manner. With deft button taps – and a little luck – you can quickly relieve opponents of helmets and shields, prior to delivering the killing blow.
Only that’s barely scratching the surface, because Knight Brawl is absurdly generous with what you get. There are multiple battle modes and also quest-like missions, where you get to leap into a castle and duff everyone up. It’s bonkers, entertaining, superb stuff, and seriously raises the bar on Lane’s work – which was already impressive to start with.
Project Loading
Project Loading
Project Loading is a speedrun arcade test about the adventures of a loading bar on its way to reach 100%. Yes, you read that right: the star here is the bane of many computer users’ existence – a loading bar.
Advertisement
In Project Loading’s universe, though, loading bars don’t slowly inch from left to right – they must cope with slow-down and speed-up mats, deadly giant crosses and bouncers. To aid their way, there are restart points, and gold stars to collect, but everything happens against the clock. There’s no dawdling for loading bars here.
It’s an interesting conceit, lifted by clever level design, arty visuals, and responsive tilt controls. However, given how tricky later stages are, you’ll likely never gripe about a standard loading bar again.
Boost Buddies
Boost Buddies
Boost Buddies is a twitch-based arcade effort, where you’re a cat in a box, trying to reach a crown. Fortunately for the cat, the box is rocket-powered, boosted every time you tap. Less fortunately, between the cat and the crown are… things.
Sometimes you’re pitted against massive laser beams or swinging axes. Occasionally you’re blown about by fans, or chased by critters. Quite what’s going on, we’ve no idea, but it’s a lot of fun figuring out how to beat each test, and stringing together high scores.
Do well enough and you can add to your menagerie of boosting beasts, each of which get their own music and background visuals. And while the game’s basic nature means sessions don’t last an age, it’s always good for giving you a quick boost yourself.
Williams Pinball
Williams Pinball

Williams Pinball recreates – and augments – a range of classic Williams tables on your iPhone. It then bakes them into a freemium business model that’s, perhaps surprisingly, actually pretty good.
Select a starter table, and that one’s unlocked from the get-go. You’ll be playing this one a lot, so choose wisely. (The superb Attack From Mars is a good bet.) You then partake in daily challenges to boost your XP, win parts, and unlock other tables.
Eventually, tables are unlocked for offline play, and optionally have animated components, like Zen Pinball’s more fantastical tables. Getting there is a grind, but you’re playing superbly simulated pinball, so that’s no great hardship. And even though pinball is admittedly a bit fiddly on the iPhone, any progress made is instantly zipped across all your devices via iCloud.
Unicycle Giraffe
Unicycle Giraffe
Unicycle Giraffe is a balancing game that features a unicycle and a giraffe. Unfortunately for the giraffe, it attempts to ride said unicycle – not a comfortable state of being for the typical ungulate. It’s all very comical, though, as your giraffe wobbles left and right, before seconds later inevitably crashing to the floor in a tangle of legs and neck.
Despite being a one-note game, Unicycle Giraffe rewards mastery with the sheer thrill of staying seated for a few precious extra seconds. Rescuing yourself from very nearly overbalancing is fun, and extra risk comes by way of coins and bombs to tap elsewhere on the screen.
There’s little longevity, of course (short of ‘upgrading’ the animal with new hats and skins), but this one’s endearing, and always good for a quick blast.
Don’t Trip
Don’t Trip

Don’t Trip has you direct stompy feet through increasingly surreal terrain. You start off in a kitchen that could do with a tidy-up. Last long enough and you find yourself avoiding crazed vacuum cleaners decked out with knives and axes. Eventually, you end up fleeing from lava, splashing in swimming pools and walking in space.
This all comes off as quite trippy, and that’s only exacerbated by the viewpoint and controls. Everything is zoomed in to the point you can barely see where to head, and the controls have you press the screen to plant a foot, and rotate your phone to find space for the next step. Don’t Trip! really is a game very much designed with mobile in mind – and it’s all the better for it.
Train Party
Train Party
Train Party is an arcade-oriented puzzle game designed for multiple people to play together. Between two and 12 people on the same Wi-Fi network do their best to keep the train on time, largely by laying down tracks in front of it. In order to avoid disastrous derailment, you must also figure out how to deal with roaming wildlife and a renegade track bomber.
There are two ways to play: collaboratively and competitively. In the former case, the train always heads to the player with the most complete track, so you can keep going for as long as possible. In competition mode, though, the train goes around devices in order, and the winner is the last person not to turn the 9:45 to Washington Union Station into a crumpled heap of twisted metal.
Beat Street
Beat Street

Beat Street is a touchscreen brawler that wears its influences on its sleeve. The pixelated art recalls classic beat ’em ups, and the stop-start gameplay – with occasional unsporting use of baseball bats to bash enemies around the head – smacks of Double Dragon and Streets of Rage.
Yet this isn’t slavish retro fare. The game feels familiar, but its set-up is entertainingly oddball (liberating a city being terrorized by sentient, bipedal, suited rodents), and everything is controlled by a single thumb.
The controls could have spelled the end for Beat Street, but – amazingly – they work brilliantly, enabling deft footwork, punches, kicks, special moves, and the means to smash an evil rat’s face in with a brick. Apart from unnecessary grind-to-unlock levels, Beat Street’s the perfect freebie iPhone brawler.
PinOut!
PinOut!
If you’re a fan of knocking metal balls about, you’re likely frustrated with iPhone pinball. Even an iPhone Plus’s display is a bit too small, resulting in a fiddly experience replete with eye strain. Enter PinOut!, which rethinks pinball in a manner that works perfectly on the smaller screen.
In PinOut’s neon-infused world, you play against the clock, hitting ramps to send your ball further along what’s apparently the world’s longest pinball table. Rather than losing a ball should it end up behind the flippers, you merely waste vital seconds getting back to where you were. When the clock runs out: game over.

- Cards of Terra
An alien princess has crashed into a planet full of warring factions and hideous beasts. Fortunately, she’s a magical alien princess and pragmatically decides to pit the aforementioned horrors against each other, with a view to wiping them out, rescuing her crew, and getting off the mudball forever.
Battles are presented as part solitaire, part collectable card game. You must reach gold cards (your crew) by removing cards stacked on top of them – or wipe out every card if no gold ones are present. To achieve this, you deplete each card’s energy by dragging others on to it. But every move depletes your own reserves, so you must be tactical.
That alone would make for a great card puzzler, but Cards of Terra takes things much further, by making its cards feel alive. Some rampage up a column. Others blast weapons or meander across the board. If you end up with a doddering sheep, chances are a wolf card will appear from nowhere and devour it.
Finding out how everything works is an awful lot of fun. But what’s increasingly apparent as you play is the sheer level of depth the game has – and the care that’s gone into it. Beyond the initial campaign, there are several modes to dig into. The visuals and audio are superb. It’s one of the finest, most premium card games on the App Store, making it a magical marvel that it’s available for free.
IAPs: For £2.49/$2.99, you can remove (infrequent) ads. Do consider paying, given how good the game is.

- The Battle of Polytopia
At the start of The Battle of Polytopia, you find yourself in a little town, surrounded by the unknown, with a single warrior unit under your command. The game gives you 30 turns to explore, locate and ally with or attack other miniature empires, research technologies, and advance your civilisation.
Much of the game is based around strategising, making the best use of limited resource allowances. Would it be beneficial this turn to research hunting and utilise nearby (and tasty) wildlife? Or would the smart move be getting the technology to forge huge swords, subsequently enabling you to gleefully conquer rival cities?
In essence, then, this is Civilization in microcosm – a brilliantly conceived mobile take on 4X gaming (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate) that betters actual Civ games that have appeared on iPhone. In limiting your turns and giving you a score at the end, the game also feels puzzlish, since you must figure out how to better your lot with very limited resources and time.
For more bloodthirsty players, there’s also a ‘domination’ mode, where you play until only one tribe remains standing. However you play, it’s an astonishing achievement, huge fun, and the best freebie game on iPhone.
IAPs: Extra tribes cost between 99p/99c and £3.99/$3.99. The more you have, the more you can take on in any one game – and on larger maps, too.

- Rocket League Sideswipe
If you think the infamous ‘car football’ game once broadcast on a British TV motoring show was absurd, it’s got nothing on Rocket League Sideswipe. Here, matches consist of head-to-head skirmishes between individuals or teams of two, with everyone attempting to use rocket-powered flying vehicles to direct a huge ball into gigantic goalmouths.
Although the cars are more controllable than, say, protagonists in a Colin Lane brawler (Rowdy Wrestling; Knight Brawl), bouts initially feel like free-for-alls as your car blasts all over the shop, the ball careening around until seemingly randomly ending up in a goal.
However, Rocket League Sideswipe rewards mastery. Single-player training modes let you get to grips with your car, so you can learn how to make it flip and smash the ball goalwards while you soar through the air. And when stuck in a deeply one-sided match, a forfeit option lets you escape and try to find opponents more on your level.
That said, even when you’re getting a kicking, the game remains fun. And when you nail a perfect shot across half the pitch, you’ll feel like a gaming god. The only downside is once you’re done, real-world sports feel comparatively dull. Still, all the more reason for another game of Rocket League Sideswipe – or ten!
IAPs: Amazingly, there are none at all at the time of writing.

- Super Mombo Quest
Celebrated platform game stars have unique characteristics that help them stand out. Sonic can blaze along at breakneck speed. Mario has a plethora of power-ups to call on. Super Mombo has… a really big tongue. And we can guarantee the last of those wasn’t in the minds of Subrosa’s citizens when praying for a saviour to deliver them from the evil King of Nightmares. Still, it’s now your lot as the purple, bouncy, big-tongued Mombo to give your foes a thorough licking. So to speak.
The game’s exploration elements feel very Metroid, but there are dollops of Super Meat Boy too as you barrel around, leaping off walls and jumping on enemies. Although you don’t have to zoom around like a maniac, dispatching a level’s entire quotient of foes before a timer ticks down nets you a coveted combo award. Get enough of those and more areas are unlocked.
There’s a lot more going on too: quests; characters to chat to; the means to use gems you collect to kit out Mombo with special abilities. Although this game is tough, it’s fair. Mastery reaps rewards as you gradually crack how to control Mombo at speed and dig further into the game. Assuming your thumbs can take the strain, you won’t find a better freebie platformer on iPhone.
IAPs: Tap the trunk button for payment options. £2.49/$2.99 removes the ads, but the £4.49/$4.99 premium tier is better, because it adds offline play and gives you other goodies. You can also spend 89p/$0.99 on 5000 crystals to speed along upgrades if you wish.

- Dungeons of Dreadrock
Our early moments with Dungeons of Dreadrock weren’t exactly filled with excitement. It seemed like another me-too puzzler. The cartoonish intro admittedly had heart and humour, even if the story was full of cliches: a sibling is about to be sacrificed; you have to save them. But we then found ourselves in a single-screen dungeon with an exit.
The grid pattern made it clear what was going to happen. We’d swipe about, overcome obstacles, and then rinse and repeat. The enemies shuffling about while we dithered made it clear this would take place in real-time, as if a dungeon crawler had been transplanted on to graph paper.
Then we found ourselves facing off against a stupid orc, who was easily bested through brainpower. Unexpectedly, the orc chased us to another level. The pace quickened. Tension! Excitement! “Do you get it now?” the game appeared to say as it continued drip-feeding little nuggets of joy – short and smart moments that would add up to a fulfilling and engaging whole.
So on the surface this game might look like more of the same. But its creator isn’t kidding about the handcrafted nature of the puzzles. Dungeons of Dreadrock feels the opposite ofcranked out, where every step has been carefully considered – and it’s all the better for it.
