    But are the levels as ingenious? The level design on Ragdoll Blasters is what really blows me away about that game.

    Enviro-Bear 2010, hands down. It's the randomest, most creative game ever assembled on any device.

    Here are the runner-ups:

    1. Eliss: Frustrating puzzle/ action game.

    2. Gloop: Mesmerizing physics toy.

    3. Zen Bound: Great relaxation "game."

    4. Thumpies: Nice, creepy take on rhythm games.

    5. Beat It!: Same as above!

    6. Battle Bears: Nearly as random as Enviro-Bear.

    Least original games= Gameloft. Do they have a non-port or non-ripoff game?

    Weird isn't creative.
    I can poop in your face.
    It's weird, but it's clearly not creative.

    1.) Enviro-Bear, only parallel is the PC version which fails to convey the frustration of a bear driving a modern machine like the iphone game so masterfully does...

    2.) Spider- unique way to tell a story.

    3.) Eliss- minimalist space management games are the new fps, guess i just ran out of creativity for my list...

    Labyrinth 2 ripped off of Labyrinth, and Minigore ripped off of iDracula.

    Not unless you season the head before putting it in there and adding just a pinch of oregano and paprika.

    QuickTurn
    Crazy Mouth (not a game, but a really cool app)
    Edge makes platformers incredibly trippy
    Galcon, although it was an original PC/Mac game, it flourished on here (anyone know about an iPad version?)
    Exorcist, no doubt. Accelerometer + Touchscreen
    Jet Car Stunts
    Space Miner Ore
    Scoops
    Sway

    If we're talking games that are original, play well and wouldn't have worked on a console/computer:

    Cross Fingers - uses multitouch like nothing else.

    Fox vs Duck - OK, it could work with other ways of steering the duck but the game feels right on the accelerometer and is so utterly original.

    Poppi - hugely underrated exercise in stripping gameplay to the basics, with lovely graphics and running at a perfectly smooth 60 FPS.

    One Way Home (lite): The best way to describe it is a platformer game where the screen displays the ground directly beneath you, and your fingers or thumbs serve as feet. Excellent use of multitouch.
