Cool. Any specific recommendations from those games?

I'd say try them all, but if you are in a hurry, here are some of my favorites:

  • Cara Grabs Antimatter
  • Cats on Broombas
  • Diamond Dash
  • Dzzee
  • Gold Mine Run
  • Neut Tower Episode 1
  • Piadrane
  • Post Apocalyptic Petra
  • RetroFuel
  • SlipSpeed
  • Solitaire!
  • WordHopper
  • xyWords

While somewhat simple as a strategy game (after a bit it is easy to figure out a winning pattern), i also liked The Anarchic Kingdom.

Also Demografx was nice as a small city builder, kinda like a 2D simcity.
