Recommendation: Try the original Topple; if you enjoy the mechanics, Topple 2 will blow you away.
Replay Value: High

The sequel to ngmoco's Topple--apply named Topple 2--has officially hit the App Store. The basics of Topple are simple: stack the Tetris-like pieces that fall from the sky as high as you can without toppling them over. Topple 2, however, adds several new twists to this already addicting concept, including upside-down stacking, platform balance, "power tower" (i.e. electric current), and rescue missions. These new modes are unlocked by playing through and conquering levels on the overworld map. After completing a zone (such as the upside-down stacking zone), it unlocks free play for that mode.

Other fun new additions include Versus and Challenge mode. Versus mode lets you race head to head against a live opponent on the same Wi-Fi network. Challenge mode lets you save & send your "ghost" to friends to battle against. Combine this with a slew of achievements to unlock and ngmoco has added another fun and addicting game to their ever-growing repertoire.

If you're unsure about purchasing Topple 2 at its current $2.99 asking price, try downloading the original free Topple which could essentially function as "Topple 2 Lite."
