   I was just wondering out of general interest what do you think are some of the best games that have been made with cocos2D?

   My current go-to game is:

   Mighty Fin: Terrific one-tap game that is gorgeous to look at and laugh out loud funny. The writing is consistently sharp which makes sense since its the guys behind "Scarlett". I cannot get past the final level "Shiruken Alley" though. Free pro-tip: when confronted by a ninja never jump out of the water, you always end up as sushi. HTH!

   previous go-to games:

   Black Tower 2: Another one-tap game.

   Super Turbo Action Pig: A one-tap helicopter style game. But with a pig. A pig with turbos and action.

   Snake Race: A one-tap snake game. (are you starting to notice a pattern?)

   Squid Drop: Spent a lot of time with that squid trying to get him(her?) to the bottom.

   Wheelie Joe: You are in hell on a unicycle (actually you *are* a unicycle - made out of bones) and have to run over zombies and eat tacos and avoid demon birds crapping on you. How did this not reach #1?!

   Splat: geoFighter: Abstract War/Forze Field: Oh "Robotron 2084" I miss you so. When will someone make a "Smash TV" inspired game I wonder?

   Doodle Find: Find stuff. Easy, until it isnt.

   Prison Breaker: Platform puzzler where you can change the direction of gravity by rotating your device.

   Various Robert Szeleney "Stick/Line" games: Gets a lot of mileage out of those stick figures he does.

   TrainYard: Everybody already owns this puzzlegame so no need for a description here.

   Teragati: Pilot your ship through an asteroid field.

   HeadSpin: 3d spacial puzzle game.

   I read this thread and intended to reply, there are so many best/good games powered by cocos2d, but I don't know what the thread owner wanted to know, how he define the "best games", does he mean top games in Appstore, or games with excelent gameplay/graphic (but not listed in top list) or both, etc. , hard to answer this question.

   I mainly meant top games in the app store
   but you can put in ones that look awesome if you want :)

   I of course think that Minute Math for Kids, Spell Blocks with Sight Words and Spell Blocks with Animals are great Cocos2D games. :-D

    Where did you read that Tiny Wings was cocos2d-based?

    @lws Doh! my mistake. Mixed up 71Squared tutorials (credited in the options screen) and cocos2d.

    The new Boulder-Dash like game "Gem Thief" is really good and made with cocos2d. It reminds me that "Cave Dweller" from MurderDev is another cocos2d game that I spent a lot of time playing. If you liked Boulder-Dash either of those two are good purchases. In fact in looking that up I see that "Cave Dweller" has some extra levels as IAP that I may have to buy.
