I’ve tried a few other skeeball games for the iphone but this one finally got it right.  It has the right amount of difficulty, nostalgic game play and updated features to make 10 balls 7 cups an instant classic.

There are other games similar to this so why should anybody care?  Here’s what sets this game apart from the competition:
- Realistic simulation of the Skee-Ball style arcade game.
- In-game store for users to redeem tickets for nostalgic, fun, and sometimes zany in-game prizes.
- Global high scores to compete for the largest ticket stash.
- Launch the ball by either swiping your finger, or making a bowling motion with your arm.
- High quality real-time 3D graphics.  No pre-rendered mock 3D.
- The NVIDIA PhysX engine is used to deliver console-quality physics.
- The accelerometer can be utilized to launch and add “spin” to the ball.
- High quality production values.
- Currently only $0.99.

This is by far my favorite skeeball game for the iphone and right now in my top 5 of all iphone games.  The game play itself takes a little practice to master.  You need to use a fluid swipe up the screen to get the ball to roll fast enough to make it to a the appropriate hole but not to hard or you’ll end up missing the cup.

Each game you play you accumulate tickets, arcade style, that you can trade in for prizes.  Right now i’m saving my tickets for a “clock radio”, man that’s going to be sweet.
