As part of my last day tidy-up, I was deleting stuff, and I noticed just how big some iPhone games were:
Game
Size (MB)
Free Play Time (m)
Size/Minute
Assassins Creed Lite
99
10
9.900
Hero Of Sparta Lite
42
25
1.680
Hungry Dragon
25.7

2.570
Undercroft Lite
11.4

0.095
Hungry Dragon each game only last ~10 minutes, but you can play as many games as you want and the graphics are the same for the whole time.
My point is, that not all games are equal, yes the the first two are very flashy, but for the amount of game play you get they are quite big. Hungry Dragon, really is a simple game, there’s not much to it, but it’s a fat little application, where as Undercroft Lite is a very polished and complete game, giving ~2 hours of game play. The full version is only 16.2 MB (42% bigger) and I’ve played for over 13 hours so far.
Not sure if I have some moral insight, just pointing at the fatties, and call a spade a spade.
