Quality Index: The week's best iPhone games – Rocket Bunnies, Bumpy Road, Joining Hands
Welcome to the weekly iPhone Quality Index (Qi) games round-up, giving you the LOWdown on the HIGH scorers every Friday on these illustrious pages.

As you may already know, Qi trawls the web for iPhone game reviews from the world’s most respected online and print sources.
Qi then applies its own magic formula to each site (such as 148Apps, Macworld, and Application iPhone) to establish a single definitive Qi score for each iPhone app and game.

Belated Easter present

Soaring through Qi, the universe, and everything this week to steal the the #1 spot on our dynamic listings comes Rocket Bunnies, Chillingo’s one-touch wonder starring a wescue wabbit.

If you aren’t suitably impressed by the intrepid bunny’s extraordinary 9.4 Qi rating, how’s about the 60 levels of intricately designed, intergalactic, booby-trapped pick-up-and-play action?
Rocket Bunnies’s difficulty is pitched just about perfectly for its casual gaming audience, as 148Apps observes: “The learning curve is gradual – there is a tutorial world to teach the tricks to safe bunny space flight. The instructions are clear…and the animated scenes cracked me up.”

Bumpy ride

On the subject of long-distance travel – albeit at a more leisurely pace – Simogo’s Bumpy Road has cruised wistfully into Rocket Bunnies’s and Chaos Rings Omega’s slipstream this morning.

A pair of senior citizens have decided to relive their youth by hopping into their motor for a Sunday drive, only to discover the local council has neglected its duty and left the municipal highways in a terrible state.

It’s your job to guide the reminiscing pensioners across the asphalt by ‘bumping’ their motor with your digits over major potholes, including in the newly introduced Sunday Trip Sprint and Marathon modes.

Peablins all over the world, join hands…

Who are we to look a pun gift horse in the mouth, especially when it arrives courtesy of talented publisher 10tons?! Joining Hands, in the studio’s own words, is a “handtastic puzzle game” that features a coterie of creatures called Peablins.

In their own sweetly naïve way, the yellow Brufflins and emo Poeglins believe that Rupert Murdoch – sorry, the Bogeyman – can be staved off by linking their unevenly numbered palms.

If only that were true…
