Games created with Cocos2D

I'm sure you are wondering if there are any great games created with Cocos2D. The answer is that there are plenty! Let's have look at some of them right now.

Note

This is only the tip of the iceberg. We physically cannot list all the great games made using Cocos2D, as it will take up a significant part of the book.

BADLAND

BADLAND is a very atmospheric side-scroller action game with great gameplay and graphics. BADLAND received a lot of awards (including an award from Apple) and reached the number one place in more than 80 countries.

The game makes good use of physics and has an amazing design. BADLAND was developed by a two-man game studio called Frogmind. A screenshot of the game is as follows:

Feed Me Oil 2

Feed Me Oil 2 is a great mind-bending puzzle game, where you need to deliver oil to the target zone using many different devices. The game reached the top of the AppStore and was featured in many countries. Its predecessor, Feed Me Oil, was also a great success!

The game was developed by an independent game developer, Alexander Ilin. A screenshot of the game is as follows:

Lep's World 2

Lep's World 2 is a really cool and fun platformer game with more than 60 million downloads. The game reached the number one place in several countries and still is very popular. I think you won't be surprised to know that it was created using Cocos2D. A screenshot of the game is as follows:

Other games

The listed games here are just a small set of all the games created using Cocos2D. The games listed earlier were picked because of their quality, high ratings, and to be honest, because I like them. There are thousands of games created with Cocos2D.

If you don't believe me and want to see a huge list of Cocos2D games, please visit http://www.cocos2d-iphone.org/games. However, note that this is also not a full list of games, as it contains only the manually submitted games.
