http://flapmmo.com/

^^ this feels profoundly moving

what browser are people using for flapmmo? i get the background and the nick textbox and nothing else

there are a lot of connection issues with it, sometimes its just overloaded

yeah i cant play it

http://threes.meteor.com/#

huh. that didn't really convince me to want to play the real thing

me neither quite frankly!

it doesn't have the cute sounds and animations for one thing

Arrow keys not as satisfying as swiping.

two weeks after announcing i disliked 868 hack i am still playing it every day

:)

just went over 100 streak!! ok I am going to bed so I can die in awkwardly bathos filled manner in the morning instead

Alternating Threes, Star Trek Trexels, and Spell Quest on all my flights this week

spell quest has not much in the way of endgame, eventually.

true, but until that point it's a good time. i appreciate that it's finite and sweet.

i am now 21 points away from hitting the streak high scores on 868-hack /:

afraid to hit start

it's the classic 868-HACK dilemma - do you just start going for points and try to beat your record, or do you play cautiously, get fewer points, but have a chance to increase your streak? *bites your nails*

253 in 7 games. my proudest moment

Daaaaaaaaaang

It seems to me like you're the expert, thomp!

Devious Dungeon. it's a dollar. it's worth it!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-XlFRqAKuw

it's similar to rogue legacy and has procedurally generated levels, but it's not really a rogue (no permadeath, and not very hard). there are about 60 levels and 5 different bosses, and the entire game takes maybe 5-6 hours to play through. but they're enjoyable hours! the main reason is that the controls are very tight. normally i can't stand games with on-screen controls (and were a handful of times where i accidentally pressed jump instead of attack, or left instead of right), but for some reason they work very well in Devious Dungeon. the jumping in particular is very tight. it's mario-style jumping - holding the button down longer lets you jump higher, ability to adjust your direction in midair, the general confidence that you can land EXACTLY on the very edge of a platform if you need to do it.

after every 3rd level, there's a merchant that lets you use your coins to upgrade items and refill your health, and 12 levels or so there's a boss. if you die you get sent back to the castle (where the merchant is as well) but you can always skip ahead to the last section of the game you were in. when you level up you can choose to improve your health, strength, or dexterity (which increases the chance that you'll inflict critical damage). the game does this stuff at a serviceable level. it's not outstanding or complex, but at the same time i don't think that's what they were going for anyway. it's really streamlined so that you don't need to spend any time thinking about which weapon to buy or what skill tree to unlock. you spend your time just playing the game, 99% of the time, and that's perfect for taking a dump a $1 iphone platformer.

the gameplay itself rewards patience as the enemies have very predictable attack patterns. one knock on this game (for some) would be that it's too easy. if you want to add some difficulty, i recommend challenging yourself to run through the game without dying. with enough patience, it would totally be possible. if i made the game, i would have added a Rankings mode where there's permadeath and it displays who got the farthest (or defeated it most quickly, or something). that would add a totally different element to the game and would make it more nerveracking, for those who are into such things (freaks!).

symbol link is a v. good free puzzle game, and i finally bought wave trip, and the game fails to explain itself at all, but once you go into the level creator you sort of get it + you can just play with the level creator as a synthesizer and make fun tunes.

i am embarrassed to admit this but I am a little annoyed that the graphics are not PERFECT on my retina iPad. i mean, they're close. maybe i need to hold it at arm's length.

weird. too pixelated?

i wonder if it's a bug

some jaggies on animated creatures and certain curves, yeah. i'll probably keep playing though.

Yeah, it's great. Lots of loading screens and crashes on my og mini though
