yep grabbed it, shoulda posted here earlier

anyone else here playing Anno? I've never played it on pc but I'd been wanting a city builder & this one is fun. & when it gets a little bogged down, the freemium part is a boon; you have to set it aside for a day or so to regen cash & let exploration happen, & then you come back reinvigorated. it looks very pretty too.

Two Dots

thanks for the info about, jsut got it and having a great time with it

about hoplite i meant

motorsport manager is $2.99 and is really addicting. it's kind of a mix between kairosoft-style progressive improvement and a surprisingly fun in-race management mode. you can choose between soft, hard, and wet tires, and tell your two drivers when to pit, when to drive conservatively to save fuel, and when to push. i realize that sounds boring but as you get up to higher tiers of competition it quickly becomes very important and engaging. it's possible to win races with a middling car by making good decisions on when to conserve fuel, when to pit, anticipating weather changes, etc. conversely if you're not paying attention you can lose races by failing to respond to things happening on the track (crashes, yellow flags, weather). it's well worth $3 and i've found myself sinking a lot of time into it over the last week.

two dots is terrible. starts great then becomes unwinnable without paying for bonus stuff in my experience.

grabbed pixel boat rush on a sale and have been enjoying the heck out of it. thanks for that hoplite notice tho! grabbing it now

I'm up to level 119 on two dots. Not yet unwinnable, but getting there.

No IAP yet either.

I'm cool with Two Dots - it's like a non-ugly Candy Crush

Up to 130.

just came out so it's $2.99, but i think a lot of people here would enjoy Sneaky Sneaky. it's a stealth based action/lite-rpg. you hide in bushes, wait until you get a good moment to attack enemies from behind, shoot from afar with a bow. if the enemy notices you it shifts into a mini-turn-based strategy game until the enemy is defeated. you can use accumulated gold and experience to buy items and level up your abilities. it's nothing earthshattering, but it's well executed.

I gave a buck to P&D for the RED promotion, but good godm those cute Chibi Christmas characters, I think I may finally break for real...

Flappy Golf has been a solid time waster.

i bought a bunch of year end games to see what was what and oh boy desert golfing has eaten up a lot of time instantly
very atari 2600

i like desert golfing but if it had an 18 or 9 hole mode with leaderboards i would play it more often. i know that's counter to its ethos or whatev

i paid a dollar to bitcoin billionaire so i could have a pet.

I'm up to hole 150/shot 435 on desert golf. I'd be doing a lot better but I had a catastrophic 40-50 shot hole on one drunken evening.

I'm up to hole 600 in 1972 shots. I'd be doing better but I had a 120 shot hole early on.

Sometimes the randomly generated levels really screw you

welp, tap titans

Is that just a cookie clicker? Just say no.

it's... a little more.

ugh, the agony of desert golfing

http://i.imgur.com/n69pkCp.png

are the levels randomly generated (as i assumed upthread), or does everyone encounter this level? i'm assuming it will add at least 30 shots to my score.

I've gotten that one and somehow one shot it.

But this game is not doing a good job of holding my attention. I need some badges to earn or something.

yeah, increasingly as the game goes on the most compelling thing is trying to mentally divide # of shots by the hole # to figure out what my shots/hole score is.

also there's the there thrill of wondering what would happen if you got to hole #100,000,000 or whatever, and the flag was so long that it began to come into contact with the surrounding landscape. what THEN??

I don't remember when I got that hole but I do remember it. Then again I'm past hole 1000 now and they're all kind of merging together in my head now.
A hole in one is certainly possible but you'd need to get it just right with the bounce off the hill.
The other option is to chip it to the bottom of the hill and take a couple of shots to roll it up to the hole.
Anything with a high parabola is doomed to a disaster though.

i'm on hole 601 with 1964 shots, so right around 3.3 par

chip it all the way up the hill with horizontal strokes; the ball will lie at an angle and not roll back if you hit it right

What makes it such a dreadful appeal to want to download and play desert golfing now? I mean, I've been forewarned by you guys... Thinking of getting to 600+ levels and the time it must consume makes me reject the notion and feel bad already without having even hit one ball. And yet, and yet... Do I hate life?

it's fun! and effortless! i have no guilt.

Oh I'm gonna play! Wasn't meant to cause you to feel guilty, that was specially reserved for me :)

One level has a rock

There all sorts of little things that crop up. There's a rock, a cactus, a water feature, a face carved into the side of a hill etc.

I know that's not true, but I'm going to push forward anyway to make sure.

there's definitely a cactus

the colour scheme changes too, but so slowly you don't notice it

1311/409

i guess if you play it long enough, the most noticeable thing that changes is yourself. makes you think.

Game make Hulk smash. Hulk delete game.

Hulk otm

omg i thought you were all joking about the cactus. that was amazing! totally worth the wait

he wasn't kidding about any of that stuff! there are little changes.

KAIROSOFT GAMES/SIM GAMES IN GEN: plz s/d!!

Game Dev Story is my jam right now and I wanna get some more sims. I don't like how freemium Tiny Tower is and I was kinda unimpressed w/ Hot Springs Story.

I hear Mega Mall is good, which looks SimTowery which I love. What are the best Kairo games to get? Is there anything vaugely reminiscent of RollerCoaster Tycoon (i.e. you have some land and you have to make cool stuff happen and paths and people and all of that)?

game dev is about as good as kairosoft gets sorrty to say.
