Shaky tower
Rocket bunnies
Both free on the market, both get my vote

Shaky Tower is annoying, I can't now play unless I register and subscribe to email updates for something. ******* pointless and stupid.
Surprised there's not been a mention of a couple of RPGs I've encountered - Zenonia 3 and Destinia, both from Gamevil and both free. Pretty simple games with a lot of similarities - both have a basic crafting and pet system, quickslots, attribute & skill point allocation and D-pad movement with 1-button basic attack combos. They've got a very Korean feel to them, so expect a lot of "Fetch/Kill X of Y in Z area" format quests all bunched together in convenient hubs and a whole bunch of grinding on top, but they're nice little time sinks.
Keep in mind that they both feature an in-game shop, selling bonuses for real cash. Some of the bosses are a right pain to do without the all-important resurrection scrolls, which are only available for cash currency, but they're all possible with just the free stuff you can pick up on the way.
The other time-sink I've encountered recently is Zombie Farm - grow crops to earn cash, build a little farming field and, of course, plant and harvest a zombie army to raid your neighbour's farm and get brains. Pretty solid gaming from Mobage - connection required for every launch, another in-game shop with cash-for-win boosts but well worth it. It's much more of a long-term game though - plant your crops and forget about them for a few hours while you do other things, then harvest them later. You even get a ding in your notification area when your zombies are very hungry for brains

Inotia 3 is another one thats similar, very classic 16bit JRPG feel to it.
Im playing Guerrilla Bob at the moment. Nice little shoot 'em up game.

I enjoyed playing Air Control, https://market.android.com/details?...wxLDEsImRrLmxvZ2lzb2Z0LmFpcmNvbnRyb2xmdWxsIl0.
A very simple but well done air traffic control game, but found the fact there was only one difficulty level a bit of a drag, as in you spend 15 minutes playing and it goes easy-easy-easy-easy-easy-easy-easy-easy-medium-HARD!!! Then I crash
Is there a similar (and high quality/nice gameplay) equivalent that is slightly more level/challenge based? Either with planes or I saw an image somewhere of a 'car' based traffic light one that might be fun too!
I tried one traffic light game but the graphics and other elements made it feel so cheap and badly done

Will have to try that but I am loving Pool Rebel due to the online play against mates. It is so comfortable to play using the S-Pen on the Note, but my mate who has it on the Nexus finds the controls quite fiddly.
