I just got today’s update that turned the HD (ipad only) version of World of Goo into a universal app (iPad and iPhone). The iPhone only version will release on thursday and will be slightly cheaper. The key though is that you only have to buy the HD version to have the game on both your iPhone and iPad. So awesome!
I’m ecstatic about their decision to do this and wish every game/app company would follow suit. It drives me nuts that most games require you to buy two versions if you want it on both devices. Go 2Dboy!
ed: Thought I had posted this a while back, but apparently I’d left it in draft form. Updated and throwing it out here now.

I recently recommended a bunch of iphone games as a twitter response so I thought I’d post a more thorough entry here.
Games I’ve got loaded:
- Lux Touch – Risk style game; this is the free version which is good enough for when I get that urge.
- Quordy – Boggle style game; has multiplayer challenges; I should play more, but there’s so many other games.
- Fieldrunners – tower defense; my favorite of the many many TD games that I’ve tried on the iPhone.
- Mecho Wars – turn based strategy game, similar to Advance Wars; I like the art style.
- Tiki Towers – physics puzzler, similar to world of goo, but not as polished.
- Civilization Revolution – port from xbox live. It’s not quite as detailed as the pc version, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
- iBlast Moki – physics puzzler. It’s my new favorite game. I love the art style and the game theme plus level design is fantastic.
- Secret of Monkey Island – classic adventure game
- 2 across – crosswords
- Flight Control – finger drawing / time management game
- Robocalypse – RTS game. ported from nintendo DS
- Uniwar – turn based strategy
- Tris – tetris clone
Games I’ve got an eye on:
- Romance of the Three Kingdoms – koei port!
- Hybrid: Eternal Whisper – action/rpg
- Zenonia – zelda look-a-like
- Catan – official Settlers game, but currently looking clunky
