iPhone games (also Ipod Tooch/iPad games too)

pixel defenders puzzle is like triple town meets an rpg, and while its partially random, there's no time constraints and different levels have different overall mixes of units and enemies. dream of pixels also has a really good puzzle mode.

Hey you didn't say it had to be one you hadn't already played. xp

I'm only partway through Color Zen (it was free from within the apple store app last week, not sure whether that's still the case) but it might fit at least some of those criteria, starts out very simplistic but by the third set of puzzles it starts to feel pretty chewy.

aye that looks pretty good. also got the crystal maze on a whim, as it's free (haven't tried it yet or even got a vague idea of the gameplay). and hashi, which is a sudoku-ish puzzle but not half as infuriating. and mind wall which is pretty shallow and has a time element, but it's fun as far as it goes and surprisingly tricky.

PvZ2 is actually really good? there's not a paywall that i can find! and i've got hours in already...

plants vs zombies 2??

yeah, it came out last night.

OMG

lol yeah

still running after i started it this morning. not surprising as i think it will take nearly two weeks.

yeah, i'm having the same problem. i still haven't beaten it yet, but i've gotten close and i assume others (mordy!) will annihilate it. during my last runthrough, i ran into strange issues with the AI. in some cases the crew was choosing to grab resources from the opposite side of the base even though there were available resources steps away. that obviously wasted a lot of time, especially when it came to replacing dead crew members. i didn't really notice that issue the first time through - hopefully it's not something that commonly occurs.

This is very frustrating. Prioritising rooms helped. Have accomplished first two goals. No interest in going for 45 minute research as stress would be too much. I love the snappy start up time. If only more of them did that!

yeah, same here!

Guys, get Knightmare Tower. It's great.

― blinded by aggro (forksclovetofu)

just about to finish this one as well, but i'm a little annoyed at myself for not remembering that i played through this about a year ago as a flash game, for free, on kongregate or one of those kinds of websites.

You like it? I thought it was pretty perfect.

it's pretty good! i didn't mind playing through it again even though i had been through it once before, so that's a definite plus. also, the music in the menu screens reminds me a lot of final fantasy tactics, so there are subliminal good vibes there as well.

I missed it by 1:21. Blasted minions!

you need an option to build a fucking school where they learn *how to read a fucking map*. there was one in particular in my last abortive attempt who seemed to treat the alien invasion klaxon as an invitation to have a stroll round, maybe explore a couple of interesting hitherto undiscovered banlieus, pop to its old manor for a cup of tea, loiter uncertainly on corners etc.

I suppose they are made of sludge tho.

in fact I have some sympathy with the aliens, trying to nip this colony of congenital idiots in the bud before they infest the universe with their long-winded and purblind meanderings.

"Hey, 3 of us to research? You, you're absolutely miles away, you should totes do it rather than me sitting in the bunker next to it!"

hell yeah 3D World Runner!

"Hey, 3 of us to research? You, you're absolutely miles away, you should totes do it rather than me sitting in the bunker next to it!"

Done. 1:09 to spare. Wave 11. Crap animation at the end but now can relax when replaying.

Madden 25 for iOS launches today!

and it's apparently very bad!
http://toucharcade.com/2013/08/27/madden-25-review/

yet another console/PC game that doesn't translate well to an iPad

That really isn't the issue here though.

Madden 25 for the console is also supposed to be pretty bad, and also the games are completely different.

not right thread but: is there a good Madden for console right now? I have 07, was thinking maybe something newer would be good, don't care about being up to date really, but maybe 07 is as good as I need then?

Hmm, I may be wrong about the new one. Gamespot didn't like it but the other reviews are fairly good:

Pro tip for those waiting for lives in Candy Crush, move your phones clock ahead by a few hours. (Not sure how they let that one slip by, and even less sure why despite being so obvious it's only just occurred to me.)

i have now beat "hard" and "harder" in super hexagon, but can only manage 12 seconds on "hardest".

candy crush level 65 makes me want to throw my phone in the fucking river

i can't believe you're letting that fake game scam you

i would judge but i'm shoulder-deep into Puzzle & Dragons

the epilogue for The Room is hella fun

fully functional dropbox viewer that also coincidentally runs SNES roms when you load them through the program via ftp, only 99 cents and available now on iOS
get it before they close the door

(works great btw)

that just looks really uncomfortable tbh (as do all iPhone emulators)

i'm playing on ipad btw

Don't understand it but bought it anyway.

Jon, do you have snes romz handy? i can explain

read about this kinda sketch way to install a bunch of emulators to ios without jailbreak: http://emu4ios.weebly.com/

haven't tried yet tho

Xpost tonight will be when
I try to figger it out. I may gchat you!

I'm at a fantasy draft, but try me. Should be self-evident. Playing Earthbound!

I'm playing EarthBound too!! Though I'm halfway through the game on my laptop and cannot figure out how to load a save state I've got on my computer :(

giant boulder death guys! adultswim so you know its good
