If you have ever played tower defence, this is a familiar game, but on a phone it seemed to be doubly exciting. After Trap, this is another game that I was completely addicted to for a while.
Worth a try...

Music Lite

This is not a multi-touch application, but does its job well for a single touch app. Its a nice musical keyboard with an option for a piano and a keyboard (with the full extended version avaiable for a payment).
Clearly worth it, if you are into this sort of thing!

It does not seem so great when you start, but as you play, like any good game, it is supremely addictive.
