iPhone games (also Ipod Tooch/iPad games too)

Super Soviet Missiel Mastar was a free hidden game in Alien Hominid if I recall correctly.

Capcom, Sega, Namco, and EA (US only) are having a $0.99/59p iOS game sale

oh yeh, link http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/09/sega-capcom-and-namco-go-iphone-sale-crazy/
any recommendations ie which will not control like ass?

If you don't like virtual controllers then there's not much to like there. Puzzle Quest and Noby Noby are both built for the touch screen I think.

wait isnt phoenix wright supposed to be awesome?

the iPhone NBA Jam is surprisingly excellent! the controls are really smartly laid-out (buttons for shoot, pass, & turbo [which you activate by dragging over to the icon you want to do a turbo version of], and shake the device to spin/juke) and adding portability to NBA Jam's compulsive playability makes up for the lack of multiplayer.

also if you're jailbroken and have an iPad, I strenusouly urge you to drop the $2.50 for RetinaPad since it actually works on games, unlike FullForce.

I'm loving Tiny Wings

Up to 26x multiplier

me too -- working on the 175,000 points objective (did the other two). my high score atm is 158,126

You guys are good! I'm not even close to that.

Island 7 gets me every time. I usually screw up on 6 and that dooms me.

Really, it's crack.

I get so pissed off if I can't hold fever through the first 3 islands.

you arseholes.

i haven't sworn this much at a game since wipeout 3. COME ON! OH YOU CUNTBIRD!

tiny wings annoying the hell out of me. never again.

man, i just picked it up and totally addicted. jeezus

uh, stupid question, but how do you DEactivate the "touch teacher"? i accidentally turned it on in the help screen, and now i don't see an option to turn it off!

"the touch teacher" sounds like a pedo game

and you can't turn it off! WEIRD

(actually it turned off for no reason after about 5 minutes *shrugs*)

tiny wings annoying the hell out of me. never again.

I've played at least 8 hours today.

Swore at it for five minutes this morning, threw it across room aggressively turned it off in fit of rage.

_tiny wings annoying the hell out of me. never again._

This. Lasted all of two minutes with this game, boring.

this is what I thought about game dev story. then I lost three days of my life to it

179,214 points!! x28 multiplier w00t w00t!

Congratulations! You are a master of tiny wings! Now beat the highscore!

I can't get to island 8 :/ hi score 162 k. I think I've reached my potential.

I kept playing until I beat it. You can do it!

Kairosoft's follow-up to Game Dev Story has just been released in western app stores:

$3.99 currently, will review when finished downloading

juuuuuuuust made it to island 6

it's weirdly perfect, this game. each time i play, i get better, but one round is kinda enough to last me a while

I've been enjoying Flick Kick Field Goal for the iPad (/iPhone?), which is essentially a jazzed up version of that game where you throw paper into the wastebasket, but with some fun modes. Good way to waste like one minute when you're waiting for someone or etc.

yeah i've got flick kick soccer and it's hella addictive/great for the bus

so Infinity Blade is fiiiinally on sale, 50% off! Just dl'd last night, will try this out later.

one round is kinda enough to last me a while

i am in awe of your self-control

Infinity Blade sucks.

Really? After trying most of the big names (Assassin's Creed, Mirror's Edge, Chaos Rings, etc) I'd have to say Inf Blade is, IMO, the most well-developed and maybe even best "video game" for iOS

What about the other one? Aralon?

I hate the controls, I hate the setup, and the technology is only impressive since it's on my phone. fuck a Infinity Blade IMO.

(my pick for best proper iOS video game is probably the iOS NBA Jam, which is shockingly well-done)

TOO MUCH TINY WINGS

getting to island 5 with no fever was annoying enough, getting to island 4 with no perfects is going to make me cry

when I decide to do it

tomorrow

how the hell do you get on island 5 with no fever

What about the other one? Aralon?

Too bugged to be playable, even now. I got about 8 hours in then something happened which meant every chest was empty...including the ones that contained quest items. So that was a complete game breaker, and I couldn't face a restart.

how the hell do you get on island 5 with no fever

easy, you fuck up on purpose.

i got to island 8 and suddenly had no desire to play this game again ever.

how the hell do you get on island 5 with no fever

No, the easiest way is to just hug the ground all the way through. Let up on the gravity a bit in the valleys to build up momentum, but then hug the ground as you crest so you get no air.

You can go surprisingly fast this way!

that's actually how i started playing it at the beginning, when i didn't know what fever was or perfect slides etc.

Still cant get to island 8. This is because of a moral failing.

I just keep playing for the pretty colors.

Actually could anyone explain fever mode to me? Just two perfect slides in a row?

three.

Finally. 8th island. Still need 175k though.
