Mew Mew Tower
Happy cats, grumpy cats, fancy cats, and fat cats: Mew Mew Tower has them all. Stack cuddly felines on top of each other to build the tallest tower of kitties the world has ever seen. You can tilt your iPhone to the side to help prevent your carefully constructed tower from collapsing into a mound of fur balls. But tilt too much, and you’ll send all your precariously placed cats to their doom.

Vay
Originally released for the Sega CD in 1994, Vay is a typical fantasy RPG. Like titles from the Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest series, Vay has you battling monsters, earning XP, and leveling up your party as you quest on to save the world. JRPGs fans looking for a bit of old school adventuring won’t be disappointed with the iPhone remake of this game. $4.99 is definitely a fair price to pay for this classic RPG.
