I recently bought an iPad so browsing the app store and downloading pretty much everything that is free has become a hobby of mine :) My favorite is LinKing (iPhone and iPad). It's by a German game company (they have 180 employees and pump out a lot of games) so they're not quite "indie"; but the game's sole review is from me (I reviewed both the lite and pay versions), and no one has rated it. It's a well done puzzle game with a really nice interface. It's my current favorite iPad game. Just Deliver It (iPad) is a really polished game from a Japanese developer. Great music, graphics and interface. IMO the game itself is not so great, but it may be other people's cup of tea. It's also a puzzle game. It has 13 ratings and no reviews, so I'm sure the developer is not seeing a return on investment. Brainstory (iPhone) is surprisingly polished for such an obscure little entry tucked away in the app store. It's got great graphics. But the whole thing is just really weird, and I think that turns people off. It's a pretty standard puzzle game ala columns or dr. mario. Ninja Block (iPhone) is a strange beast. Also from a small Japanese team. It has beautiful graphics (their artist is awesome), strange canned music, engrish galore :), and the game itself is mindlessly stupid. You have to stack blocks on top of each other as high as you can. The engrish, bad music and slightly raw feel the game has is a turn off. Some things just aren't very polished, it could have used another week of dev time. But I actually think if they could have polished it up just a tad more (and hired someone who speaks english well), they would have had a good entry in the very popular "super simple games that only shoot for a high score" that totally dominate iOS. ESP Galuda II (iPhone) is from Cave, a very successful long time player in the shmup genre (huge in Japan). ESP Galuda II is by no means ignored (63 ratings and 27 reviews), but since it's from Cave (they are just a fantastic company), it's disappointing. iOS users, you were given caviar and you ignore it! :)
