As the heading says. Just looking for some games that I can keep on both my ipad and iphone and have my progress synced across the two.

Well, our game does assuming you sign in with the same account on both devices. :-)
I played Rad Soldiers and really liked it, but the IAP killed it.
I hope we have improved upon that since and the new update just added tons of new free content for everybody :)
Which part of the IAP was the blocker for you if you don't mind me asking? The coin prices for the grind currency or the general pricepoint for things if you unlock them with money?
Honestly i can't remember, I installed it awhile ago, played the tutorial then lost interest when I saw the grind. I'll reinstall and give it another try
Most gamers don't like IAP of any kind. We aren't stupid; we understand why it's done, but most of us would rather a game tuck that away deep in settings so we don't see it unless we want it. We don't want a temptation when we open our game; we want to have fun.
There are few exceptions for me one exception is super Stickman golf 2 The game doesn't require u purchase anything. It doesn't feel like they are trying to stick u for money every time u open the game. U don't need the purchase to win against anyone. U have to search to find that screen that mentions prices and I don't recall any allusions to get me to think about buying in the application.
A game application is a place to play or what not. An AppStore application is a place to buy apps in most circumstances. Confuse the two not!
As a player I understand that a lot. The complexity for us is that it's a game with a large multiplayer focus so we need a large player base for people to have an enjoyable experience there. That pretty much rules out a up-front paid game.
U don't need the purchase to win against anyone.
Same with RAD soldiers. Each unit/weapon combination has an associated squad point number. When you make a game you can define for how many squad points you want to play. You can't bring more units or stronger units in than that. As such you should never end up in the situation where someone paid to win. Also each multiplayer match gives you coins which can be used to purchase anything besides skins.
I'm willing to give it a shot :P looks interesting
Jet pack Joyride? Not sure what universal means, though
Can be played on both iPad and iPhone (or iPod et cetera).
Ah, as in it's been designed with both iPhone and iPad screen sizes in mind. Non-universal apps still run on iPad, but show up with the lil (x2) button in the corner to increase the screen size. But usually ends up with bulky UI or looking pixelated.
In the app store, these are the apps with a lil [+] sign next to their names. If you're on iPad, games designed for iPhone have [SD] next to the name. Games designed for iPad have [HD].
Might & Magic Clash of Heroes. No IAPs either (except an expansion and early unlocks that are very reasonable).
Looks purdy... will try this one out.
It looks like a stupid "bejewelled" type game at first. But then the strategy and RPG elements show up and you feel like you're commanding an army. My favorite iOS game by far.
omg... so addictive. Didn't even see the IAP. Had to go digging around to find them. Took my attention for most of the weekend.
Haha glad you like it! We should play a match sometime.
Galaxy on Fire 2 has an icloud save slot, and if i remember right, Lunar: Silver Star Story does this too
Grabbing both to try out. Thanks.
Infinity Blade 2 has iCloud sync. It seems to only sync when the game is starting fresh.
Words with Friends
I have no friends :( jk jk. Been hitting this one like crazy already.
That's not universal, and the sync is technically server-side rather than iCloud. There are two different apps for iPhone and iPad.
Bastion. It's a visually outstanding game and it can also sync your progress seamlessly between iOS devices.
The best part is that it still downloads new saves when the game was backgrounded.
I agree
