iPhone games (also Ipod Tooch/iPad games too)

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

Be my friend 0117-2589-6041

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.

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.

also I live in Paris and the métro map here is weirder than any one I've concocted in the game yet

xp I've actually ridden abt half of the systems in this game and yeah it is p fun and novel at first. I didn't realize stuff spawned at diff rates and distances on diff levels, it all seems the same so far.

Isn't the game more of a bus line simulator than trains? I think the Waypoint guys were talking to some urban planners about this a coupla months ago

My problem is I get distracted by ghost me.

haha that shit is annoying!! just a really poor design decision or is it intended as part of the difficulty. what does leveling up the castle do anyways

Helped when I started playing with Yoshi more. Unless it is against another yoshi.

oh my god soda dungeon is so dumb, you guys

it sort of pushes my "logistical decisions are the only ones that really matter" button but it also, let's be frank, doesn't really contain any decisions that matter. it's a clicker

yep. i played through it obsessively twice and have erased it twice.

Got all those damn coins in Mario finally. Good game.

Love/hating Really Bad Chess Now. Like it but I reach a level and I get impatient thinking about potential moves and just lose.

Still stuck on the black coins in the later levels. Moved on to Rally mode, which is fun...

picked up steamworld heist on discount, have been really enjoying it

I got all the coins and characters in Mario Run. I can't beat the black pipe stage. I might try for the cake decoration.

Really Bad Chess is easy when you can just trade down to victory. When the non-pawns become equal it gets harder.

Puzzle House: Mystery Rising is a good knockoff of The Room series.

I bought the big question mark block in SMR, and then accidentally built something on top of it, and it disappeared. Will I ever be able to buy it again?

You still have it. Click Build, then Place (I think), and you get a list of all your stuff.
