iPhone games (also Ipod Tooch/iPad games too)

I broke just 400k on temple run; this game rulz

My high is 990,000, 2627 coins.

the only prob with temple run is it should show you how much you've run as a running tally. (no pun intended).

also, the fact that there are three score variables (distance, points and coins) seems... inelegant.

my highest score on Temple Run is like 200k. last week I introduced a couple of buddies at work to it; yesterday one of them announced that they'd had a 660k run and had already unlocked all of the alternate costumes. damn kids and their vidya gaming prowess.

I don't have any games on my ipad yet. What's the most fun and, err, easiest.

also I went on a bit of a spree last night; quick rundown on what I got:

- King Cashing: unfuckingbelievable. as mentioned above, it's basically Slingo + RPG character development. I can see myself sinking a LOT of time into this one.
- Disc Drivin': aka Shuffleboard With Friends. love it to death so far although it's kind of irritating how it takes longer to send your moves than it does to actually make them.
- King of Dragon Pass: apparently a combination of choose your own adventure stories and Civilization's political mechanics. I need to dive into this deeper (especially since it cost ten fkn bux COME ON) but what I've played so far is pretty cool.
- Poker Pals: refuses to open :( apparently I need to update to iOS 5, but seeing as how I can't function without jailbreaking functionality (primarily SBSettings, BrowserChanger, and BiteSMS) I'll just have to pass for now.
- WELDER: haven't really gotten a chance to try this out yet. Bejeweled + Boggle sounds like a pretty deadly combination, though.
- Jetpack Joyride: the actual game mechanic of using the jetpack is kind of meh, but I loooooooove the micro-rewards structure (especially the last-chance roulette wheel).

really curious to hear your thoughts on king of dragon pass; I've been very sorely tempted
jetpack is great for two minute jags.

like I said I'm still very early on in the experience, but it's VERY text-heavy so far - almost like an interactive storybook w/ tons of affectable outcomes - but despite my unyielding antipathy for game stories it's pretty neat. the diplomacy parts are pretty cool, though - very Civ Lite, and since I've always had a soft spot for Civ's diplomatic stuff it's a big win IMO. of course I really probably need to play through it a couple of times since I would imagine that the big hook is seeing how things play out through multiple gameplay iterations; thankfully I ride the bus in Los Angeles so time is something I'm hardly short on.

sux that there's no iPad version, though. they're supposedly going to release one later this month; I *really* hope that it's a universal upgrade rather than a

I played a bit of greed corp. It looks like a Risk-like game with some cool twists.

yeah, def waiting for ipad version of dragon pass.

ENBB -- search + enjoy Super Soviet Missile Mastar.

this looks REAL interesting

Bumpy Road is fun, but I haven't played a single iOS game worth even a buck. I honestly don't know how this is a gaming platform. There are a lot of predatory developers making crap. It's all crap.

I don't have any games on my ipad yet. What's the most fun and, err, easiest.

A couple of simple, fun games I would highly recommend are Doodle Jump and Tiny Wings - both perfect games. Some others I've enjoyed a lot are Super Stickman Golf, Bit Pilot, FlickKick Football, Minotaur Rescue and Minotron.

ENBB, definitely check out Peggle. I've had it for over a year and I still play it.

XP several iOS games toootally worth a buck, at least:

Osmos
Eliss
Dead Space
Game Dev Story
Chaos Rings
Infinity Blade
Mirror's Edge, maybe

Also if you dig point and click adventures, the first two Monkey Islands and Broken Sword

Oh sweet - gonna check these out tonight. I've played some before just not on iPad. Awesome though - thanks!

DEFINITELY DEFINITELY get pathpix. That game ate my life for a few weeks.

As mentioned in the other thread, I'm loving Oh! Edo Towns right now.

ooh zonr is nice

enjoying samurai bloodshow and TTR iphone too

DEFINITELY DEFINITELY get pathpix. That game ate my life for a few weeks.

Got this because of yr post. Life, destroyed

(kinda easy so far tho)

I beat every level of pathpix and then got the much harder PATHPIX PRO which is, well, much harder. Burnt out about thirty levels in.

+1 for hating forks thanks to sudden pathpix addiction

I played a similar game, pizxlcross?.??

hee hee i am fucking up your lives

yeah mine too.

(Although I think I played this on DS before, maybe as part of a multi-puzzle game? Can't quite remember. But it was definitely trickier then, I think maybe because it didn't have different lines in different colours).

so.... jetpack joyride...

ugh

heh, i played it a bunch a few weeks ago, and luckily it was beatable within a day or two so i could move on with my life

I didn't think it was as fun as Super Quick Hook or a bunch of other runners, so I deleted it.

i beat it three times so i guess i liked it?

You can beat it? It's nowhere near Temple Run.

i dig it

Jesus I was at level 8 or 9 and then the game crashed and deleted all my progress!!

you can beat it multiple times, yes.

Beating jetpack joyride means getting all the achievement things and starting again though, right? Not "going more than x metres". I kind of hated it but played it loads anyway, and now I kind of hate temple run but am playing that loads anyway.

Tried I Dig It too, it feels kind of unlosable once you know how it works (and you can work that out pretty much instantly). The first proper story mission dragged out over 3 separate 30 minute play sessions until I just got bored and gave up.

I saw someone on the train playing Grand Theft Auto 3, which astounded me - I had bought it and fired it up, and it's an amazing technical achievement and obviously the original is top 10 of all time so there was a massive Proustian rush and all, but the actual iPhone controls seemed to make it completely unplayable.

Kairosoft finally released Pocket League Story, which I'm eager to try out.

baseball?

soccer

anyone playing ticket to ride async via game center?

So was pocket league any good?

The usual, more or less – it's the style I prefer – more like Game Dev and Grand Prix Stories than mall/academy. Fairly easy and so many carry-overs, though, that it becomes a walkover at some point, and the matches are unskippable – tedious to sit through one 11-0 victory after another. But I got 2.5 fixated playthroughs out of it, so no complaints.

Also has pushed me to the point of lunacy where I'm curious to know more about the lives and origins of King Akbar, Chimpan Z, Grizzly Bearington and Kairobot.

Housemate's been working excitedly on this title and not been able to talk about it til today:

Really looking forward to getting off work and playing the just released iOS port of Eufloria (iPad only), which is sort of a cross between the ambient gaming of Osmos and the RTS genre:

"Eufloria is a game of space, conquest, and exploration based on themes of plant life and flowers rather than space marines and spaceships."

Graphically, it's stunning:
