iPhone games (also Ipod Tooch/iPad games too)

Well now I'm determined to get to 100% on the stupid thing just so I can say I seen it all and it all sucked

Also I opened up Pixel People again for the first time in probably a year or more and oh no, it's all still there

Teeny Titans was on sale for $0.99, so I picked it up. Solid Pokemon clone/satire game on the mini-fig industry. Same dev who did Attack the Light, and just like in that game, I appreciated the staggering amount of fan service and show referencing.

Picked up imbroglio based on chatter above. Looks fun.

trying "the quest". it's big and complex.

Imbroglio is awesome. Thank you!

Still can't bat 64 tho

Anyone try out Ember yet? Looks like some old-school Baldur's Gate-style action!

iOS, Windows, no Mac boooooooo

One More Bounce is pretty fun so far...

SUPER MARIO fn RUN, y'all!!!!!

I'm enjoying it. Can't believe all of the 1-star reviews from cheapskates who aren't willing to spend 10 bucks on a genuine Mario game. Stuck on level 5-3, though. I've managed to black star the whole first world, but haven't tried rally mode yet. You?

remember how 1990s gamepro used to break down the ratings by graphics, sound, control, and the elusive fun factor? i feel like the modern day version of that also includes the Poop rating for iphone games

and i give it a poop rating of 4.0 (out of 5.0). the length of each level is perfect, it's definitely engaging, but it requires so much concentration that you're not really going to be able to poop until the 10-15 second gap between levels, unless you're one of those people that can rub their stomach counter-clockwise and tap their head clockwise while chewing gum and doing a kickflip.

everything else gets a 5.0, it's great. rally mode is great because it rewards you for playing with style which is very much part of the super mario experience imo. yeah, most people can get through the old school games eventually, but the true super mario pros are the ones that effortlessly glide through levels floating through the air from koopa shell to bullet bill to goomba. it's great how Super Mario Run has created an incentive to play like that.

i am not enjoying the ghosthouse levels, though. :-/
is there any way to figure out which doors are the correct ones other than trial and error?

Ho do you kill the ghosts (I mean "boos")? I've only been able to do it by accident...

Backflip over them I think?

Seems to work! Thank you.

I have all 120 pink coins, all 120 purple coins, and 115/120 black coins, plus like 3200 toads :-/ I play this too much

Dag. Working my way through purples now. It's just a very satisfying experience when you hit a perfect run.

pro-tip -- unlock Yoshi and getting the coins will be SO much easier (maybe other characters too but I haven't like Toad and I haven't used any of the others, really)

How do I switch characters?

well to unlock Yoshi you need 30 ea red and yellow toads, and then you need to buy the Yoshi house, and then there's an option to change characters in the lower right corner of the level select screen

i bought it and suck at it. heres to not spiking my iphone in the new year

is a landscape mode 2 much 2 ask

O_O

you know it's true

I played it on iPad, it looked great. Not sure how that would translate to a little mobile phone. And yeah, it's awesome - $9.99 isn't unreasonable at all, but I do think it's kinda lame how it just springs it on you with no advance warning, it's presented as "free but you have to pay to unlock some stuff", not "the whole game". Oh well, whatever. Anyone know how you kill the plant dudes that come out of the pipes?

stars, baby, stars

I now have all 120 pink, purple, and black coins, about 78,000 coins in the bank, and almost 4000 toads. I'm bored.

That was fast.

I'm terrible at toad rally.

You have to do as many special moves and get as many coins as possible. Basically, the amount of coins you get largely determines whether you win or lose, and the amount of special moves you do (combined w/ special moves yr opponent does) determines how many toads you'll get for winning:

what are the "special moves" - like comboing off goomba's heads? with only one "button" there isn't a whole lot you can do but I do feel like I'm missing a few things

My problem is I get distracted by ghost me.

yes that is v distracting and annoying esp when yr neck and neck.

Reigns and Alto's Adventure both $1 right now. Worth my "valuable" time?
Still haven't splurged on Mario Run yet. Skeptical.

alto's is great.

Reigns sucks

alto is a generic runner that looks pretty. i got bored after an hour.

but but but but ACHIEVEMENTS

I got Broken Age. $1 seemed like a good deal for that
Still want a refund on Reigns

u guyz

Rly disappointed with Mini Metro. It's so well designed that it seems like it would have a lot of depth, but it's p superficial. There are too many weird variables and too few constants to make it legit urban planny, which is fine, but then why make it ostensibly a transit-building game?

Like to win you have to build strange patterns that would be wildly impractical for an actual subway system and my brain is just like "NO YOU CANNOT POSSIBLY BUILD TRAINS LIKE THAT!!!!!"

It's just a puzzle game! Are you expecting railroad tycoon?

I mean vaguely? Like maybe something a little more transity and a little less totally-arbitrary-shapes-mover?

Also why are there like 20 levels when they are all virtually identical? Like if everything is generated as randomly as it is, it doesn't make much diff where the rivers. You can take identical approaches to every damn level.

aw man if you know the cities it's cool to play their different maps, at least it is for me. plus the rates of growth of new nodes and of distances between nodes varies with the cities. and some cities have different types of trains too.
