iPhone games (also Ipod Tooch/iPad games too)

Orbital is eating my life

current high score in supernova: 358

Ooh, 355. Got a 15-in-one though, an uber combo, or in the delightful pronunciation of the robot, a 'yoober cumBO'.

I play a lot of doodle jump.

I shouldn't have decided to give Orbital 'a quick try' at midnight last night... Current high score on Gravity: 18! :(

Orbital Play Time: 06:07:44.

Since last Friday. I need help.

anyone else played Sword & Poker? it's like Puzzle Quest crossed with (wait for it) poker. it's really really really really really great, too.

Yeah that's pretty fun. Never played puzzle quest so can't compare, but certainly worth 59p.

Gravity high score 57! Woo. This makes the train a little more bearable.

Dark Nebula is free this weekend and worth a look. Labyrinth-style game but with guns, good fun but pretty short (I dl'd on Fri and finished today, but then I do have multiple assignments due so it's obviously the perfect time to be playing iphone games...)

how do you find out what's on sale?

I set up alerts with an app called BarginBin.

barginbin sounds like a good idea. i found out about dark nebula from www.gizmodo.com.

okay tell me about g1 games
becuz all i am playing now is dope wars and desktop defense.

How about now?

Nobody excited about Chinatown Wars? I gave up after about an hour of the DS version, and can't see it being any better ON IPHONE.

i loved it on DS, but this is the third platform it's hitting. also it sounds like it'll be prone to the ridiculous touch screen control cramming, like so many other games

How about now?

still no

I put on my robe and wizard hat

:o

The price they ask, I will pay

O_O

What stet said.

I r retard. High score in gravity mode is 23 (2:14:01 play time)

I can't get past 34. And most of my games end at like 4.

okay the FF games on iPhone would be fucking grand

btw anyone else discover Unblock Me? also mad addictive

gravity's too easy - i can only get like 10 on pure though

supernova is like pure, pure crack rock

still can't break 60 tho :(

broke 200 YES!!!!!!!!!!

it was my first taste of the "mega combo" - i will be back for more

do you guys have any kind of "stragegy"? i start each game by lofting them up into opposing corners, trying to get them as close to the edge as possible. then i fuck up, or the corners get to full. then i scramble to recover.

TOO full

i start off the same but i dunno if it helps, it always descends into anarchy and scrambling.

I try to engineer a little barrier that I can then pop them behind, sort of like this:

_______
| |
| |
|000 |
| |
| |

But it rarely works out.

oh piss.

jim what is that, you try to make a little barrier of them somehow??

honest to god this is the greatest video game ever created by man or beast. if it took quarters i would be fucking destitute.

My picture was meant to look like this

_________

Er no, that's not it either.

If you start at the right point, you can just keep the fire button held down and it will automatically build a wall of the things, you can get them angling out from the corner at 30 or 60 degrees depending where you start. But I'm not convinced it's a great strategy, you end up with a whole bunch of orbs which you can't get at and the screen just fills up.

(er that's in pure or gravity, not supernova)

I try and create big bubbles with large gravity fields. Then I can get rid of them by shooting around the periphery and it skirts along until it pops. This never gets me a high score though. However, it is very satisfying.

yeah the paradox of the big bubble - dangerous, irritating, but will take out everything else once you pop it

My supernova strategy: start with a bubble in the top center, put bubbles on the sides, pop the center one, then start winnowing down the sides until there are at least 3 in the 1 range and a few more in the 2 range clumped together, then pop one of the 1 bubbles for a chain reaction. Clear up stragglers as I can and repeat. If possible, I try to create little ricochet alcoves and fire into those to clear out things that might be in the way.

When this works, I can reliably score well into the 200s with this strategy, but mishits are BRUTAL.

which supernova game are you talking about, the bejeweled-styel one?

Supernova mode in Orbital

I tried the free version of Orbital and didn't get the appeal. The only games that I've played for more than a few days are Peggle, Bookworm, Scrabble and Canabalt.

i still play drop7 every day

what the hell is wrong with me

oh god i just DLd this

you will all be receiving a letter from my dean

getting REALLY into Mr.Aah! these days; it's like a deliberate version of Canabalt. also I picked up Puzzle Quest ON IPHONE and oh lord I had forgotten how addictive this shit is.

"ricochet alcoves" for the win

i still play drop7 every day

ditto. still can't get over 400,000 like hardly ever.

I've never played Broken Sword before, tempted by this iPhone port. Anyone playing that?

Where the hell is Plants vs Zombies on the iTunes store. I only can find Plants vs Zombies Cheats and Zombie Parade when I search.

didn't think u cd get PvsZ ON IPHONE yet?
