99 Best Free Games of 2009

woot, Downhill Bowling made Gamasutra’s ‘99 Best Free Games of 2009’ list!

Also, we are in good company as Flashbang’s Minotaur China Shop is listed, too. Any other Unity games I might have missed?

Congrats! I also just saw a MacLife listing of 100 top iPhone apps for the year, and HyperBowl is on it.

I was sure there must be other Unity apps on the list, but I didn’t spot any. It’s not entirely a games list, though.

Good year for Unity-based bowling games!

Unity games on this list that I can spot:

Minotaur China Shop
Boxgame
Downhill Bowling
Puzzle Bloom

Another 2009 Top 50 list is in progress at http://theappera.com/ - Zombieville is there and maybe some other Unity iPhone games (Zen Bound?)

2009, like the years before, breed some very nice free games (This is the only Level, Canabalt, Today i die, Aubergine Sky, Don’t look back, Square Dance, Death Spank (wait, that was something different!), Continuity, Spelunky, …

Another top 100 from AppAdvice.com, for all games released from the beginning through 2009…Realmaze3D squeaked in there at 98. (Also showed up in Fall 2009 top 10 puzzle games in iPhone Life magazine.)

I saw that RealMaze3D mention in an iPhone Life issue I picked up in the grocery store. Nice!
