iPhone games (also Ipod Tooch/iPad games too)

nm got it

fireball island is where i am stuck! i did finish trainyard express though (except the bonus levels).

think small

yeah i worked it out just after posting - magic of ilx iirc

fruit ninja or whatever is fun

sounds...fruity

I've just got 3 or 4 levels left on Trainyard. Really enjoyed the game although the last couple of Cities have been more about trial & error rather than logical reasoning.

i'm kinda feeling like i'm almost obliged to get an ipod touch just so i can get on board with the other major platform i'm ignorant of.
What are the key games for iphone/touch?

according to ilx:

drop7
9 innings

drop7

haha

gotta say that trainyards lack of randomness (v drop6's capricious distribution of unwanted 4s) has been a nice change of pace. solving a puzzle makes me feel smart, getting a high d7 score makes me feel lucky

can anyone seriously recommend getting a touch as a gaming platform? is it worth the cash in the same way as a ds?

i would get an ipad instead tbh

shits is expensive yo

srsl tho, either way, if u really need to be up on whatever's going on in gaming, touch gaming really feels like a new thing, even with the DS' stylus going on.

i feel like the fact that most iphone games are like $1-5, you can't really lose over the long run

really hopeful for the prospects of amazing puzzle games on touch platforms tbh. esp ones that involve building constructs to solve problems.

anyone played eliss on iPad? I love it, conceptually, but I think you must need the real estate of an ipad to make full use of the multitouch (which is central to the gameplay after a certain point)

it looks like it's a game about impregnating an ovum

which makes sense because "eliss" sounds like the brand name for a contraceptive pill

i kinda liked the demo but haven't 'splashed out' on the full thing.

re. portability the touch is a great platform esp. compared to the clunky DS but as a "thing" in gaming...actually from what I know of you forks this is right up your alley since it's like indie gaming city for super cheap, & I get the impression there are lots of gems being missed.

Hey if any of u sons of bitches are playing words with friends and want to remind me how dumb I am, I'm on there.

User jjjusten iirc, also I play the free version so if it takes me a while to respond I am probably learning about the fantastic features of some new scion automobile.

whoa, I'll play you! I got it a few month ago, but I have no iFriends to play it with that I know of.

I'll find you later tonight, or maybe early tomorrow. I'm something stupid like Z25SZ5S2, I think.

I play constantly and I'm from North Carolina so plz rest assured that me no word make good. my name is trdn89.

grbchv!

is me

are those your game center IDs?

i'm SLOCKI

so the bonus levels on trainyard are way more challenging than the regular ones (this is a good thing).

I've got some mates who are game developers and one who's a journalist (edits Kill Screen magazine) and nearly all of them rave about the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad as a boundary pushing gaming platform.

There also definitely seems to be more & more larger games arriving on the platform too. Galaxy of Fire 2 for instance provides at least 10 hours of gameplay and much much more if you're happy to just explore the universe in between doing the main story missions

Do posts about iPad games go here or is there a separate thread for them?

hm. maybe the kind of thing i invest in when my ipod dies.

Jenny I would like to hear about yr iPad games

OK! I have been playing Puzzle Quest in the iPad and that is pretty much the perfect platform for that game. Spider is better on the iPad, too, although I find it to be kind of boring. I could be missing something.

And Galaxy of Fire 2 looks like it will be awesome for the iPad. As soon as they release an HD version, I'm all over it.

I refuse to play a game on my iPad unless it's in HD =\

Definitely. Trying to play non-optimized games on the iPad is depressing. Puzzle Quest looks better on the iPad than it did on the DS. Easier to play, too, but I always has trouble w/ the stylus bc I type all day for a living and am always on the verge of a tendinitis aggravation.

Chopper 2 is HD on iPad and pretty well put together. You can use a touch or iPhone as a Bluetooth/wifi controller and hook the iPad up to a tv. Osmos is also HD and very relaxing. Though, paraphrasing someone upthread, it plays like you're fertilizing an egg. DoDonPachiR isn't HD but plays better on iPad. Mind, it's full-on Japanese style, seizure inducing awesomeness.

puzzle quest on iphone is ass

^^^ massive ultra uber-ass. it really is awesome on iPad though.

I keep trying to decide if it is worth it for me to get a Touch (or an iPad?) so I can play iPhone games. I really don't want the phone part of the iPhone, but I'm jealous of all the games I know I would love to be playing.

Puzzle Quest/IPhone gets insanely boring somewhere around the halfway mark.

Yo guys, Assassin's Creed for iPhone is 99c right now and seems pretty fun so far!!

anyone played Rage HD yet?

u kno what's pretty fun playing yr entire rack on the first move of a words w/friends game

see gbx, whenever god closes a door, he opens a window

oh no, you have fallen to words with friends as well

it is like crack

oh yes, yes it is.

there are points where k and i end up angrily playing each other while sitting on the same couch. it is a sickness.

J and I have done the same thing
