iPhone games (also Ipod Tooch/iPad games too)

but yeah, in typical kairosoft fashion, it's really addicting anyway.

at year 20 and i can't make five stars for the life of me.

i figure a second playthrough i'll understand how to do that.

s.clover, here's a decent set of tips for making more income: http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/57496/what-are-effective-strategies-to-raise-my-income

(ignore the top tip, which is sorta cheating imo)

you may already know that stuff, but that revealed a few basic things that i had no clue about. i didn't know, for example, that adventurers buy items in the shop that they already have equipped. so it makes sense to give them expensive weapons/armor because then they'll go and purchase that item repeatedly at the store after that!

I guess I just got lucky, because I didn't really have a clue what I was doing, but I hit five stars on my first play through at around 11 years I think? Then from there up until the deadline I wasn't sure what to work on beyond turning everyone into robots. Anyway, final clear ponts score was 169,120 with 1,142,010 monies. Not sure whether that's good or not, these games need leaderboards.

No games needs leaderboards. The top tens are always full of scores literally 100 times higher than your best and you just sit there looking at them thinking how? are you cheating? how? i don't get it, i just don't get it ;_;

1st sentence: delete plurals where appropriate

Yes it is possible to send bogus scores to Game Center.

finally finished dungeon village. 168,815 points

will never play again. but, as always with kairosoft games, well worth 99 cents!

How come none y'all fuckers told me there was Ticket to Ride: European Edition??? For a fuckin $1.99?!

I dunno but I have it and it's pretty fun

I have pretty much played the orig version to death and gotten most all of the achievements except for the absurdly challenging ones, but I haven't gotten nearly enough out of this, so it's rad as fuck to know there's a whole 'nother map out there.

I paid full square enix price for ff4 and I dont regret it.. ff2 on the snes was the first game I ever bought for this console and the update is great.

Temple Run 2.

Is it good? I am sorta over Temple Run and was p disappointed w/ Temple Run: Brave

Graphics are hugely upgraded. Scenery isn't as monotonous.

it'll be free so i'll get it, but i was also disappointed in TR: Brave. Punch Quest proved to me that you can still do new stuff with this genre, so i'll give this a chance

dammit what are some good iphone games for when you're on the run, have 2 minutes here & there, & you just want something to distract yourself from feel awkward just standing there waiting or w/e

really what I want is a good match 3 with leveling like dungeon raid, maybe I should just play it again?

have you tried puzzle craft?

you betcha!

wargames!

rocked that one too

just bought "dungeon story" & "puzzle saga", which look like cheapie knockoffs of aforementioned games + "Clash of Heroes" (which I loved) so here's hoping they'll hit the spot

puzzle saga's all right, but not as good as Clash of Heroes

monsters ate my condo

I'll take "all right" at this point

fairly recent iphone user & haven't found it a great gaming device yet (ipad a different story)

wordament is rad actually

monsters ate my condo takes like half an hour a game though

drop 7 is p good for picking up and putting down

drop7 and hexagon are the all-time classic quick-play iphone games for me

I'll give Wordament a shot. Fairway Solitaire has been grabbing a lot of my idle time lately. Punch Quest and Jetpack Joyride obv picks as well

Miss 1000 Heroz, but they never fixed it for the most recent iOS - a real shame

hexagon is a perfect game

played the hell out of fairway solitaire on my mac a few years back, "won" it, lovely game

give the iphone version a try! i played the original version on Mac too, and was surprised at how well the little improvements to the phone version worked

wordament is just boggle but you can size yerself up against others in real time & each game is 2 minutes long so it's pretty perfect for me

huh I will!

don't think it's been mentioned itt, but the walking dead is the best ipad game I've played. I'm not a fan of the show or comic but it's really really well done. not for the squeamish, and I don't just mean the gore (tho there's plenty). you will do things to survive in this game that will make yr toes curl in yr boots.

walking dead game is amazing. i'd post about it on the walking dead thread but i'm only up to chapter 4 and i don't want to be spoilered

ditto

Joe Danger is some twitchy goodness. Kinds of like Rayman Jungle Run, which is also good.

And my friend made that Walking Dead game! :)

plz thank your friend for me

tell him thank you for making me exhausted every day at work

I'm on part 4, about to enter crawford. I brought clementine with me, wondering if that was such a good idea...

I deleted then later redownloaded punchquest, and it turns out they changed all kinds of stuff and mostly made it worse in their effort to earn more money on the thing. Oh well. I probably wouldn't have minded if I hadn't played the first version.

new temple run

the gameplay of punchquest is slighly improved if anything. They just screwed up the prices of upgrades to encourage people to spend money. the one thing it took me some time to get used to is the slowdown when hit.

thanks nhex Fairway Solitaire ON IPHONE is terrific, just the kind of crowded-bus-ride-pastime I was looking for

*hi-five*

ok Candy Crush Saga is actually pretty...fun? I think? it's really really difficult!

but I write because it's the first game I've played where the "freemium" elements have felt...crafted to the difficulty, like the game is just too hard for you to fly through it without buying a 99 cent booster of some sort. & it's good because it elicits reflection on what "progressing" through a game is worth to me. like, I can keep flailing at the same board again & again FOR FREE. & if I spend 99 cents I can beat it! oooh oooh I'm so frustrated I just want to beat it beat it beat. BUT WAIT: the next board will be the same: match threes of pretty colors, clear the jelly in a just-a-little-unreasonable number of moves, or score XYZ points in just-too-few seconds, etc. & I will flail at it too. so why bother paying 99 cents? if I "beat it" & thus "progress", my game-playing experience is nearly identical. the only difference is that I won't have "progressed" from level 33 to level 34...& really, what's that worth to me?

yeah fuck pay for play imo
charge me five bucks after ten levels to play the rest of the game, don't chisel cash out of me as we go
