I keep finding awesome iPhone apps and meaning to write reviews about them, but something more urgent always comes up and it never ends up happening. So I figured I’d put together one post with some of my new iPhone apps which I think are pretty awesome.
Highborn – A turn-based strategy game by Jet Set Games. I used to work with the Joseph, who’s the designer there, and was so excited about this game! It didn’t let me down. You play as a knight on a mission, ridding the world of evil with your team of do-gooders. One of my favorite parts of this game has to be the dialog between characters – it’s just hilarious. I’ll write a more in-depth post about the game when I get the time. The iPad version was recently released 
Get it!
Mega Jump – A nice and simple jumping game not unlike Doodle Jump, with a few differences. Your little creature jumps to collect coins. Collecting a coin (or landing on top of one) makes you jump farther up. You tilt the iPhone to control which direction your create is jumping in. You also collect boosters and powerups or negative effects as you jump. You unlock different stages, creatures, and other goodies throughout the course of the game. I’m actually finding this game quite challening – I’m only on stage 2 and have been at it for a couple of days!
NinJump – another jumping game. You’re a ninja running up the side of a building. On the other side is another side of a building. You tap the screen to jump from one building to the other to avoid and/or kill obstacles. Successfully attacking 3 obstacles in a row gives you a temporary powerup. You can also collect shields. Pretty fun casual game.
EpicWin – a to-do app that turns your life into a role playing game. You create a character and earn XP for every chore you complete. As you complete more and more chores in different categories (like Strength, Stamina, and Intelligence) your character levels up, travels along the map, and finds loot. I have to say the actual to-do features aren’t very robust in this app yet, but the developers sound enthusiastic about updating the app and adding new features on a regular basis.
