7 Minigore

Minigore is a dual-stick shooter starring a troubled man named John Gore. John has somehow gotten himself trapped in a forest arena, and he's being pummeled by a constant barrage of strange creatures called furries (not the kind of furries you're thinking of). John is voiced by self-made internet star Egoraptor, and as such regularly shouts out humorous observations. The game is noteworthy for it's dark sense of humor and epic soundtrack.

If there was ever a game that received post-launch attention and content addition via updates, it's Minigore. Weapon pickups, faster, flaming furries, and changes to the game's difficulty have been changed over time. Shotguns and grenade launchers were added in an update, and they can be upgraded by simply surviving for longer and finding more weapons. Character crossovers with the stars of other iPhone games was started with the inclusion of Enviro-Bear from Enviro-Bear 3000, and other characters like Lizzy from Sway and the Hook Champ have eventually found their way into Minigore's desolate forest. Minigore is not the most in-depth dual-stick shooter on any platform, but there's something about it that keeps us coming back for more.
