FingerGaming

Every Thursday (except, again, when illness-related forgetfulness strikes), FingerGaming rounds up the most popular free iPhone and iPod Touch applications, as current that day on the iTunes App Store. This week’s top titles are:

1. Crazy Penguin Catapult Lite
2. Topple
3. Tap Tap Revenge
4. Touch Hockey: FS5
5. Pac-Man Lite
6. Done Drinking
7. Labyrinth Lite Edition
8. Checkers Free
9. MazeFinger
10. Sudoku (Free)

The winter-themed Crazy Penguin Catapult Lite has remained a consistently popular download throughout the holiday season, but it remains to be seen whether the title will keep its top ranking for much longer, now that the new year is upon us. ngmoco’s Topple finishes at second place in this week’s results, meanwhile — the previously 99 cent title has surged up the charts after recently becoming free to play.

Also making waves in this week’s top ten is Tap Tap Revenge, which maintains lasting chart popularity thanks to weekly downloadable content. Demos of Pac-Man and Labyrinth continue to place high as well, while recent releases like Done Drinking and Checkers Free make an impressive showing against tough competition.
