How do I make my own iPod games?

The best iPod Touch games where you make progress

  • Looking for top notch, detailed but fun games to play on an iPod Touch. Games like Tower Defense (Lost Earth) or the Angry Birds series, where you can make progress and pick up from where you left off. Not games like Temple Run/Jetpack Joyride/Robot Unicorn Attack where you start from scratch every time (even if you do get upgrades or badges). I am not really interested in Plants vs Zombies or Tiny Wings for whatever reason.

  • Answer:

    I highly suggest you quash your reluctance to play Plants vs Zombies.

I've been playing THE HELL out of Fairway Solitaire. It's wonderful.

http://itunes.apple.com/it/app/mysticalcolors/id352263594?mt=8 is a pared-down but absolutely engrossing iOS version of the classic laser-puzzler http://silverspaceship.com/chromatron/. There was a peculiar satisfaction to the sometimes slow progress I made through the levels; I still find myself wishing they'd publish more. http://itunes.apple.com/it/app/edge/id300896018?mt=8 is very sleek and original (in terms of esthetic and game mechanic), and grades you as you progress through stages. http://itunes.apple.com/it/app/beat-sneak-bandit/id473689550?mt=8 is also unusual, funky fun - and more difficult to make progress in than might at first seem. Another game I keep coming back to (without knowing exactly why) is http://itunes.apple.com/it/app/flowerz/id315608188?mt=8, a fairly straightforward three(or more)-across game of multicoloured waterlilies, that is as relaxing as it is challenging in it's more complex levels. http://ask.metafilter.com/213344/The-best-iPod-Touch-games-where-you-make-progress#3078376 and http://ask.metafilter.com/213344/The-best-iPod-Touch-games-where-you-make-progress#3078210 - definitely. http://itunes.apple.com/it/app/zen-bound/id400670361?mt=8 (and http://itunes.apple.com/it/app/zen-bound-2-universal/id363308208?mt=8) also has a pretty unique concept of gameplay/progress. (Some time back I had something of a fixation for the progress I made in the somehow awkward yet mechanically http://elder-geek.com/2009/12/interview-with-chelsea-howe-iphone-game-designer/ http://manojalpa.net/me/?tag=tipoli http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjOBawSLyiw; then at some point it got stuck, so I couldn't play anymore. Now it's actually http://appshopper.com/games/tipoli.)

Chiming in on Plants vs. Zombies. Hated it until I tried it on the iPad. This is a game made for a touch interface. Now I find myself up way too late saying "One more round..."

Kairosoft's Game Dev Story was a massive time sink for me. It's not cheap, but I got months out of it. Easy to save, start right back where you left off. Addicting. oh crap, how could I have forgotten the kairosoft stuff? Game dev story is still the best (except the latest space colony one which I haven't tried yet), but they are all obsession forming.
