hmmm, i might give that a shot! i'd like to play a kairosoft-esque game done by someone else that will do it in a new (hopefully better) way

...and even though it's not kairosoft, there's still an 8 character limit on the name you can give your brewery.

*facepalm* how am i supposed to fit juvenile penis jokes into 8 characters? bonerbrew won't FIT

wait...bonerFiz

ok, i'll carry on

i can confirm that Fiz is a lot of fun! for those of you who enjoyed a kairosoft game or five (game dev story, dungeon village, grand prix story) but wish that they would do something new, this is the game for you. here are a few elements from the game, just to give a feel for it.

once you get going, the game has a nice flow to it. while your team (all of whom you've give names that would make your mother disown you, of course) are making your brew, you're looking at the available markets for a future brew. every market has different preferences. there are dive bars where you can send your cheapass lager, there supermarkets with lots of customer (and lots of competition), and there are fancy places where the customers expect high-end expensive shit. there are also seasonal places where you can reliably unload a ton of brew during certain months. in addition to looking into what the customers like, and their affluence, you can also research your competitors offerings at the same market.

once you've sold beer at a certain market, you have good data to plan your next brew that you'll send there. you can take a look at the history of your sales there, particularly at the quality of the batch that was sold, the price that you sold it at, and how quickly it sold. each batch of beer has an expiration date (usually around 2 months, to start with). you want to set your price at the magic spot where it just barely sells out just before the expiration date. if the price is too high, you won't sell out and some of the beer will expire. if the price is too low, then you'll sell out but your profits won't be as high as they could have been. the magic price point is different every time you make a shipment, because a) the quality of your beer will be different than the last time, and b) the competition may have changed up their offerings at the same market.

there's also all the stuff you'd expect, like being able to upgrade equipment, events (i.e., make at least 85 units of a 700 quality beer by October in order to unlock a new character that you can hire; beer tasting competitions), unlockable recipes, etc etc.

bottom line: kairosoft just got out kairosofted by a mile.

sounds cool. I am so wrapped up in fucking marvel puzzle quest that i don't know about doing anything but.

i.e. i instabought the room 2 and am only intermittently playing.

I'm on the compulsive P&D/MPQ train right now with Tiny Death Star in tow, but you've definitely inspired me to give it a shot when the inevitable crash comes

it == Fiz

anyone play rymskapsel or whatever its called?

great game but sort of frustrating how quickly it ends. like they set up this super system and then it feels like they just gave you a demo of how to play it. couldnt they have made new maps, new challenges, etc etc etc? it really feels like you're just getting started when the game ends.

yep - i was really into it...for that day. :( i assumed that the three challenges that were displayed at the beginning of the game were the first three, not the ONLY three!

totally. it's like inventing the entire mario universe, the physics, the graphics assets, etc and only making one level.

i guess the intent is that replay value comes from trying to beat your high score and progress to the higher levels. that often works for me as a motivation, but usually only with games with relatively short playthroughs.

the game doesnt really seem to encourage that tho

and there are no higher levels!

there aren't? i got up to wave 33 (one of the three goals is to reach wave 28), the last time i played, and i just assumed that the waves would keep coming, faster and faster, until you died

oh ya. but those are just waves. the layout and everything is always the same.

feel like it would be cool if there were different monolith powers and they more randomized. or different levels with less resources, or resources in a more difficult to get to place, etc

so much potential and like i said it basically feels like just a tutorial.

yep, definitely. although maybe that's because they wanted to disappoint us so that when rymdkapsel TWO comes out in mid-2014 with new levels and monolith powers for only $3.99 we'll jump on it!

so much potential and like i said it basically feels like just a tutorial.

hah i came here to make this exact complaint

was all im not going to load and search the entire thread theyre just gonna have to deal

anyway what other games are kinda minimal simcities

they cld at least let you build forever but the waves come too fast

you know what else would have been groundbreaking? more than one kind of enemy.

(the creator of rymdkapsel is reading this thread right now with a single lonely tear streaming down the cheek)

Totally - entropy sets in quickly

Deus Ex: The Fall currently $0.99. I liked Human Revolution, so what the hell.

Major iOs sales. Here's what I'm getting:
King of Dragon Pass - $6
Type:Rider - $1
Spellgrid+ - $1
Frozen Synapse - $1
Infinity Blade III - $3
Contra - Free
Angry Birds Star Wars II - Free... but i think i may have paid too much

That's a whole lotta gaming for under $20.

Star Wars KOTOR is $5, very tempted.

i'll get type:rider, what the hell. probably IB3, too. frozen synapse looks like it'd be great on iPad.

not that I'll play any of these. what the hell.

lol yes, marvel puzzle quest 4 LIF dogg

also anomaly 2 for a buck and all the final fantasy ports are on sale.
i'm basically loaded with games for the next three months.

hm!
http://pkpkt.com/guide

all the final fantasy ports are on sale.

including tactics. hmmmm

Walking Dead sequel is out. Kinda neat it carries on from your decisions in the first, however maybe they could work out a way to save your outcome in the cloud or something, because I sure didn't keep a 2.5 GB game on my device for the last 6 months.

I think that's part of the reason why they now mandate a Telltale account to play it, I think, regardless of your platform

I can't stop playing this dumb backflip game.

Can't stop playing QuizUp

i am unbeatable at world countries
