5 Best Classic App Store Games
The App Store might not be as popular as it is today without the introduction of these games. Here are some of the earliest and most popular games ever.
Tiny Wings
Tap to dive and release your finger from the screen to soar into the sky. Tiny Wings is a great example of how smart physics can create super-simple (but nevertheless hugely entertaining) gameplay.
Your aim in Tiny Wings is simple: keep on flying, for as long (and as far) as you can. As a bird, you can hold your finger on the screen to nose-dive down and towards one of countless slopes which are scattered across the landscape. Provided you time it just right, this can result in a boost of speed as your tiny winged bird slides and soars of its target slope.
Tiny Wings is simply one of the most addictive iOS games we’ve ever played. It offers a heck of a lot of satisfaction (there’s nothing better than timing your descent just right in order to slide off a slope and into the air), and it features nice graphics and sound effects. If you’ve yet to take Tiny Wings for a spin, we don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Fruit Ninja Classic
Halfbrick’s often imitated but never duplicated original fruit slicing game is a great piece of software for iOS. Your goal is to slide virtual fruit as it appears on-screen. This might sound simple, but it’s nevertheless a therapeutic and exciting game (thanks to the presence of several different game modes).
So, you slice as many different types of fruit as possible. Great. But Fruit Ninja offers so much more: fruit chains, a Zen Mode, and multiplayer make it a title we keep on coming back to, time and time again.
This is definitely a title iOS developers have imitated (ahem, “taken inspiration from”) in the years following Fruit Ninja’s original release. Because of this, it’s a genre-defying App Store classic, and is definitely a title all iOS gamers should take for a spin.

Angry Birds
Angry Birds is a class act: it’s spawned sequels on the App Store (and elsewhere), a TV show, a movie, and a whole load of merchandise. But at the core of this phenomenon is an iOS game that’s a heck of a lot of fun to play. Once you start, it’ll be difficult for you to put Angry Birds down.
The aim of the game is simple. Evil Pigs abound, and it’s up to you (and your team of Angry Birds) to destroy their various defenses as efficiently as possible through slingshotting bird after bird. Aim carefully, add just the right amount of tension to the sling, and your shot should prove successful.
This game is the real deal: it’s fun, addictive, features great graphics, and cute characters. It’s also part of a huge Angry Birds game series which you can work through.
