Hi, I have the impression that most of the iOS games are similar. It looks like iOS games are mostly divided into a few categories. Developers use the same engine? available in each categories and just change the appearance to make their games different. Am I right?
Got a tip for us?

Developers use what engine works best for their project. You can find a game from pretty much any category that's just done in Unity and they don't all look the same.

Some of them do cut and paste jobs, but they still have to put the work into the base of the first game.

Not really. You've got a wide variety of puzzle, find the object, RTS, First/third person shooters, driving, flying, classic arcade, scrollers, etc. Controls can seem similiar, with either touch screen, virtual buttons, or screen tilt (I believe). I would categorize most of them due to iOS limits as being casual games.
