iPhone games (also Ipod Tooch/iPad games too)

Never knew that. Sounds horrible!

i have that app installed but haven’t played it yet. that feature better be opt-in

yeah it is, it's totally unobtrusive if you don't click on it

I was actually praising the feature to be honest *hides* not that I'll ever use it myself

Given the popularity of LPs and YouTube vloggers and whatever seems to be the way of the future now

Crossy Road is the best

Love this! It's basically Jet Set Willy for iPad but it really, really works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqsxHlCITEk

i'm playing cross road but don't think i'm gamecenter friends with anyone except for jimdoo!

i'm at 150 or so as a top score.

i started playing crossy road this week after my kids finally nudged me to try it and I like it! best toilet game of the year? high praise!

definitely the best toilet game of the year

KM how do I become yr game center friendo

The thing I love about it is that it's constantly changing. You're basically a different character every day. Recently they introduced a bunch of australia-themed characters. If you use the kangaroo it can actually jump a little farther on the log sections. If you use a wizard he's constantly setting things on fire. I dunno, it's the best.

I think last night I jumped from the 150 range to the 220 range.

Frogger is one of the classic arcade games I've always gravitated to, so CR feels sorta perfect for me.

xpost i think i just invited you! i sent a request using the email address that you used for the 30 second stories stuff.

i think you can also add by nickname. if anyone wants to add me i am zs25 on gamecenter.

idgi. this game has kind of fallen into my pile of 2 games i play when i am on the metro (no reception) and like... it doesn't even beat the other game out most of the time. the other game is solitaire.

the "new character every day" doesn't feel like much. sure there's a little bit of fun discovery there (first time i unlocked a character that had a different world skin) and a little bit of annoying discovery (seriously wtf when i unlocked the 2nd koala) but i never felt like a game was so nakedly abotu not fucknig up (and also: the number of impossible traffic situations really turn me off)

Sometimes you get stuck on the edge and cornered and there's nothing you can do, but if you give yourself some space there's usually a way out, especially if you backtrack a bit.

i mean more moments where the traffic gets so dense that there's always a vehicle in the at least 1 of the 2 lanes in front of you

You just have to stop for a second and let them pass, or move to the right a bit. Obviously you have to do it pretty quick before the bird swoops you up.

everything i learned about frogger strategy comes from that one part in that one seinfeld episode where george moves the arcade machine

I only played this long enough to beat cozen, then I quit and played I Am Level instead, which is 10x better.

Not worth $5, but it was free yesterday, so put it on your wishlist: Framed. Scott McCloud would LOVE this game, clever stuff, especially the later puzzles where you have to manipulate the panels in real-time.

201 on crossy road friendz. retiring unless someone beats me.

downloading i am level now!

I have more than 201. :)

just tell me. lay it on me. here we go. just say it.

gotta look at my ipad when i get home. it's not much higher than that though

3328.

Kinda hooked on Trivia Crack right now

Just played Device 6, loved it. Short, but the puzzles were just the right level of challenging and the presentation was pretty much perfect.

Zynga released an update to all-time ILX favourite Drop 7 the other day.
Don't install the update - it pretty much ruins the game.
I was lucky and saw warnings before I applied the update.
I thought folks here would appreciate a similar heads up.

Man I still play the pre-Zynga Drop7 almost daily on my commute home

Yup, this ruined the game.

whoops, i broke drop7
device 6 is amazing; one of the standouts of the gen

omfg Device 6 was mind-blowing

commandeered an ipad for a while, just got device 6 and it looks amazing. what are the other very very best ipad games? big fan of the room series and samorost type stuff, and smart platform games like thomas was alone

try monument valley

Sword and Sorcery, Monument Valley, Device6, Blek, Chaos Rings if you like Square/Enix RPGs

Look up Eliss and Osmos too.

what's wrong with the new drop 7? yep adverts and slightly diff animations but otherwise the same, no?

thanks guys, will check those. have played monument valley on samsung s5, loved the puzzle aspect but found the tone a bit cloying

Rando iTunes sale right now on indies - Desert Golfing for $0.99, Battleheart Legacy for $1.99 (which I noticed on the C&P). I guess I should bite, huh?

Anyone else currently addicted to Letterpress at the expense of almost every other aspect of their life?

Ah didn't realise this was I Love Games, probably more of a ILE thing.

I was into it for a bit last year, but feel like there was this metagame strategy that people figured out quickly...

i played letterpress a lot when it was new, but only every once in awhile now.

OMG mr jump is so challenging and SO FUN!! seriously it's like aging a brand new nes game, the ones where you die 40 times before you beat the level

1010 was fun, but then got old. Unless I'm missing something besides "this is like tetris except you can't rotate anything."

My kids are getting good at Geometry Dash and it makes me feel old. That game is ridiculous.

my son really likes Geometry Dash too. It's ridiculous how patient kids can be with games like this.

Watching him play is like watching one of those tool-assisted speedruns.

RED ALERT: if you have even a passing interest in the civ games, especially civ rev, you should check out the new sid meier Starships game. i'm playing the iPad version and it is has been addicting. it's $15 for the iOS version so i'm guessing most people will wait. it's also on Steam.

vietnam '65 looks amazing - $10 iOS tho so i'm gonna wait till it's discounted
