Rope Raider

Rope Raider (99 cents)

Rope Raider is the latest in a long series of rope swinging games for the iPod/iPhone. The game, which was just approved by Apple last week, has players shooting out a grappling hook to latch onto buildings while trying to grab coins and time bonuses.

This game can actually run at full detail even on older devices, but can sometimes get choppy if there's too much happening on screen at once. As a result, it has three different graphics settings that users can switch between. These simply add extra goodies like a more detailed parallax background which you can ignore while you're busy swooping between sky scrapers.
