Favorite Astraware games?

After the Rocket Mania thread, I just wondered what other Astraware games would rank tops with the Aximsite people. I'm sure many of you have checked them out, and just because this forum has been fairly void of threads that a large number of readers can contribute to (in my opinion anyway), I thought this would fit the bill.

Bejeweled: Still tops in my book.

Seven Seas: Highly under-rated in my opinion. A sleeper.

Rocket Mania: #1 on my current most-played list. Can't get enough.

Insaniquarium: Just picked it up and loving it. Wondering about the replay value though...

Cubis: Don't find this game very well-suited to a ppc, but still fun.

Bounce Out: I play this solely for the sound effects. I swear. It's a riot.

Link Letters: My fave of the "word" type games. Chain challenge is great.

Maybe one day I'll sync my e-mail and use the calendar on my Axim instead of my 3 year-old dayrunner...

Incidentally, for those interested, I just read that Bookworm is coming to GBA.

Sooooo, what are your favorites? :p

Bookworm is probably my favorite for pure challenge and
playability, with Bejeweled a close second. I haven't looked back
at Bejeweled since going with Gems though.

I'll admit that Astraware makes great quality games, but I've
found some of them pricey compared to alternatives, and have
had a hard time taking the plunge. Consider Bejeweled - great
game. But I feel that PDAMill's Gems has more games, more
polish and a cheaper price.

Right now my TWO favorite Astraware games are:

Rocket Mania and Bookworm.

The other ones that I keep on my device and play when I need a change of pace are:

Fruit Frolic
Tip Top
Cubis
Candy Train
Dynomite!
Insaniquarium
Noah's Ark

:D

I have had nothing but great experiences with Astraware's customer support, too!

I honestly don't think I can choose a favorite. I like most of their games.

I gauge the quality of games based on how long my wife deprives me of the Axim while she plays them (and how long it takes her to insist we buy the game instead of playing the demo version).

Bejewelled and Insaniquarium are top of the list at the moment.

(off topic, but her all time favourite game at the moment is ZooPip from Xi-Art, I quite like it too)

Ha Scratch, apparently the countdown screen on the demo versions works on me. When the Bejeweled counter hit a minute on my demo, my fiance insisted I buy it that very moment. Now if I'm enjoying the game, I don't play the demo long before just buying it.

Seven Seas!! This game is very addictive. I've been playing with it over a month and I never get tired of trying to beat those pirates!

Diamond Mine. I can't stop. It's so addictive.

I'm wanting to try some of their other games. Which is the best one for a pocket pc.

It kinda depends. I like Insaniquarium, Cubis, TipTop, BookWorm, and TextTwist. I don't really like Fruit Frolic. Rocket Mania is also fun.

TIP TOP is currently my fave, with Candy Train second, but I've just bought Pop Cap Pack 2 that includes Mars Needs Cows, Dynomite, Noahs Ark, Big Money and one of the ir Word Games so I'm spoilt for choice, especially as I already have PopCap Pack 1 (Bejeweled, Seven Seas, Mummy Maze, etc.) and Insaniquam ... guess I'm an Astraware junkie!

Same here. I love Astraware games. They are great for the killing time type of game, or a game that is not too involving. I like the fact that you can exit all of their games and it will just "pause" until you open it again.
