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.

easy, you fuck up on purpose.

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

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.

Darkness was right on my ass.

been playing this:

Which is an interesting spin on a tower defense game, to have all the Three Kingdoms/Dynasty Warriors guys as cute little cartoons beating the shit out of each other

Dungeon Raid is the best.

just hit 250k/island 9 on tiny wings, will probably never play again as I probably won't be able to come anywhere close to that.

Nice! I will never even get to island 8, I think.

Ok I started playing Qrank and Words with Friends during my lunch breaks, hit me up

Lot of games on sale today if you have an iPad:

http://toucharcade.com/2011/03/11/ipad-game-sales/

Dungeon Hunter 2 99c today only.

Any good?

Pretty much ready to give up on Tiny Wings bcz trying to get 34sec in fever mode is impossible and pointlessly frustrating.

Sword & Sworcery is really nice. Not challenging at all, but a ton of atmosphere. Very short though.

xp i'm glad i'm not the only one for whom this post

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

is a complete mystery. (i did eventually crack the 34sec barrier though.)

I finally beat it last week and would like a new $1 addiction, please

I still haven't gotten 175k. Totally given up.

This game lasted all of two hours on my iphone, precisely the sort of time-wasting nonsense I dont need around atm. btw I am posting this from my kindle for lolz.

Er, Angry Birds Rio is out.

Angry birds has lost me. I just gave up halfway through one of the seasons ones. Not sure why. It was just time.

It could be that you're just not into the genre of flying bird gravity games as much as you used to be

I wish it'd fucking lose me. xp

That's one of Erikson's Stages of Psychosocial Development iirc

thanks, might just do that

Seconded (xp).

I've grabbed Secret of Mana. What's Song Summoner?

Question on all of these RPGs: how easy is it to "quicksave" or "quickload"? In other words, how quickly can I hop in and out of gameplay?

IIRC all of the ones I've played have been "save whenever the fuck you want" and not that horrible "keep playing, you'll probably find a save point in the next 45 minutes!!!!" types

amidst the RPG madness to which I am subscribing fully I wanna put in another word for Trainyard, which has become the perfect "bathroom" game for me (if you don't know, now you know): on the bonus boards now & they're tricky! but each has been ultimately doable so far after a few tries.

have there been any other good iOS puzzlers recently?

Yeah, I have hopes of maybe one day finding a game as fucking awesome as Trainyard. I've sort of given up on it though bcz a recent iOS update wiped out some of my progress and I refuse to re-do the levels.

huh, you know what, that free one on the above sale list, 'sliding hero'?..... actually kinda good

it's kind of an rts but then you also slide around your entire group of fighters and healers etc. by tilting the phone

and you're on these interesting looking isometric chessboard levels with monsters and dungeon-esque rooms

worth checking out if any of that intrigues you, i suppose

im thinkin about grabbing ff3 and secret of mana but do the controls etc work well on ipad?

Tiny birds update. New nest, island 6 is easier, game center support.

just when I thought I was out...

i know. DAMMIT

anyone played sword and sorcery?

I really want to but am waiting for it to go on sale

(speaking of which, Eternal Legacy for $0.99!!!)

playing FF I & loving it of course but wtf my totally charged battery died after 1.5 hrs, is this normal?

Of playing it straight? That doesn't surprise me.

yeah this was playing it straight---when I was mainlining Civ Rev I was getting 4 hrs & thinking uggh this is ridiculous but I guess that was good? alas; I'm the type who gets antsy about the # of charges my batteries will sustain over their lifetime so I hate big drainers but I should just get over it.
