iPhone games (also Ipod Tooch/iPad games too)

a new SNES emulator appears:

supports the Classic Controller! well fuck.

i hate myself for this fact, but ever since the Tiny Wings update came out that included the "Reach Island 9" goal, I've been attempting it every day for fucking months, GOD DAMMIT fuuuuu

3 times, I have been cruising up the final hill of Island 8, just as night falls. i feel like kevin costner in that part of tin cup where he's trying to reach the green from an absurd distance but keeps landing in the water, over and over, as his chances of winning the championship disintegrate. Fuck, now i hate myself for making a tin cup reference AND for not being consistent with my capitalization, fuck!

Civ Rev for iPad on sale today for $7.

Wht does it do to yr battery life?

It's ok for it! I'm at 78% after nearly a full game last night, a couple of hours. I'm gonna finish it now...

hahaha tin cup c/d

anybody playing pirates?

bought it! haven't played it yet b/c of Civ Rev & stupid oh how I think I kinda love Puzzler World

I bought Pirates but am sort of unsure of how to play it so far.

what is Pirates? i am interested in the name but know nothing about it

oh, THAT pirates. i did not realize it is not on the iphone???

it is now*

i'm still not seeing it, at least not by searching "sid meiers pirates"

ipad

At 31 floors in Tiny Tower - need to transition this into a once a day game vs. three times an hour as it is currently. Saving up for new floors is getting to be a real grind, but I really want to see the other types of shops and crap. This game is evil.

Glitch trumped tiny towers for me ultimately

It is amazing how many people fall prey to the freemium model when they could just pay an extra few dollars at the outset and get a good game with no additional costs.

it's amazing to me that microtransactions are a successful model. i've never bought something in a game for real money and i can't imagine ever feeling compelled to do so.

"YOUR TOWER HAS THE BEST ELEVATOR!"

yeah u fucking a right

this game sucks but i cant stop

How much does the best elevator cost

175 credits, i think

125 iirc?

and hey they arent credits they are tower bux for gods sake have some respect

i feel like once i get that elevator i will quit playing this game

31 floors btw

yeah, 125 is the last best elevator

at this point i'm saving up the bucks for the bank transaction to get coins, though the sick part is even for 100 tower bucks, that's like enough to buy a single floor at this point

(at this point)

xp I've bought things in 100 Rogues and Solomon's Keep, but there you're buying new character roles and spells, not some new hat or something with very little effect on the game.

grand theft auto chinatown wars for ipad is 2.99 now

really stupid question:

i just bought a a game (Hard Lines) on iTunes store (normally i just do it using the app store using my phone, but Hard Lines was too large, and i'm not in an area with good wireless reception.

so now it's in iTunes, but not in my phone. to put it on my phone, it appears that i have to Sync my apps. but when i do that, it erases dozens of apps that i've bought previously using the App Store - the just disappear. to get them back, i can revert to the way things were before I Synced, but then the game is still on my computer and not on my phone.

am i doing something wrong?

Groove coaster is an awesome iPad rhythm game.

ah, finally figured it out: i had to right click on the device on the left side panel of iTunes and choose "transfer purchases".

guys, get Dice Soccer now. it's free and fun.

Groove Coaster is awesome.

Match Box is fun.

Dark Nebula seems pretty good so far.

If you like Trainyard you may like Aqueduct 101.

50th floor of Tiny Tower is when the construction time hits 1 full day -_-

okay, the touchscreen controls for the iPad version of Pirates can officially suck it. ditto for the relentless loading times.

Magnetic Billiards: Blueprint is great:

Surviving High School was also fun.

Have only played the first level of Gesundheit but it looks like a winner so far.

Things I have gotten lately for ipad that rule:

gesundheit - 1.99
zen bound 2 - 1.99
dice soccer - free
mahjong towers - free
ASP - free
groove coaster - 99 cents
puzzle agent - 99 cents
amazing breaker - 99 cents
wooords - 99 cents
total price - 8 bucks

i am about to erase tiny towers as it is now annoying

amazing breaker is fucking addictive and awesome btw

haha re. Pirates as I've been playing it a lot the couple of days & enjoying it tons but I'd never played it before now on any platform so it's all new to me. The touchscreen controls aren't great in the boat combat. I haven't noticed the loading times being a problem. I was pissed at my crew for mutinying after 14 months at sea.

IIRC the way to keep your crew from mutinying is (a) make sure you have enough food on hand and (b) go after Legendary Pirates and/or buried treasure on the reg. otherwise you've got to divide the plunder fairly regularly and giving up 6 months of gametime plus however long it takes to regain your stature is a stupid move when your character suddenly starts sucking at fencing once he hits 30.

come on people, help me out. i have loved:

- 9 innings
- drop7
- orbital

oh Tiny Tower 1.3 update
new elevator (499 bux)
ability to increase stock limits in your stores for 3 tower bux, and you can keep upgrading the store level
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

^ exactly the type of game i am not looking for

You Tiny Tower guys need rehab.

- I played through NBA Jam's whole career mode; it's really easy but the controls are shockingly good
- Sword of Fargoal is a really good casual roguelike
- PathPix is Pic Pic's Drawing game flying solo and it's pretty damn great

can't get into Tiny Tower for some reason. it's weird since I like Nimblebit games a lot; they're usually so polished. but this just doesn't interest me.
