I wanted to until I found out it was a scrolling shooter.

Playing Rolando now. Not sure how long i'll stick with it, but it's a step forward in terms of design, music & presentation. LocoRoco with cartoon Florida oranges or not, it's still fun.

rolando is ok but im finding it a bit frustrating control-wise.
FRENZIC on the other hand is pure awesome (and cheap as hell right now)

anyone bought fieldrunners?
― cozwn, Sunday, 28 December 2008 01:59 (fifteen years ago) link
fieldrunners is so-so... found it way too easy for a tower defense game, not enough towers and shit either...
― s1ocki, Sunday, 28 December 2008 03:23 (fifteen years ago) link
Been having a blast with Dropship. It's a total insane shooter a la Geometry Wars - the controls take some getting used to but I got the hang of it pretty quickly. The best part of it is that the humans you rescue have names pulled from your contact database.
So far I've rescued Admiral Raggett, Wing Command Rosen, Sgt. Chaki.

is there a hack/pirate network of iphone stuff floating around yet? I don't even have the machine, just curious.
― This is a serious inquiry and there may be reprecussions (forksclovetofu), Monday, 9 February 2009 01:56 (fifteen years ago) link
iphone games pretty much suck except for frenzic. i think it's a shitty platform for games. for one, tilt games are terrible. for two, my fingers get in the way of the screen or aren't accurate enough (as opposed to the DS's stylus).
― s1ocki, Monday, 9 February 2009 02:34 (fifteen years ago) link
I think you can pirate pretty much any game with a certain application you load on a jailbroken phone; there's also lots of homebrew games, though I gather the market for them is lessening (except emulation) since the apps store opened.
― antexit, Monday, 9 February 2009 15:38 (fifteen years ago) link
Trism is pretty good but the free Solitaire app trumps pretty much everything (although I did impulse-buy Frenzic as a result of this thread so I may be modifying that stance soon)

So. Flight Control, anyone? I seem to have hit a wall round about the 64pts mark; annoyingly, Mrs Fiendish has whupped me with 74. But I hear of people getting 200+. How?
― a tiny, faltering megaphone (grimly fiendish), Thursday, 30 April 2009 10:49 (fourteen years ago) link
Bought that after being recommended it by MANY people, but find it really tedious. Drop7 is much much much better.
― JimD, Thursday, 30 April 2009 11:52 (fourteen years ago) link
New update to Flight Control has autosaving, so I get past the first fifteen, save, then return later to actually play it.
Wonder too about some of these high scores: according to the new online ranking thing, I have the best score in the area and I still can't get past 90.
― stet, Thursday, 30 April 2009 11:55 (fourteen years ago) link
New update to Flight Control has autosaving
OH, DOES IT? How does that work, then? The only thing I spotted was the daft score-sharing shit, which I can't be arsed registering for (also: Mrs Fiendish's score, grumble, mutter, grah).
― a tiny, faltering megaphone (grimly fiendish), Thursday, 30 April 2009 12:28 (fourteen years ago) link
I second the Drop7 recommendation.

59p on the UK store too. Buying, thanks!

Christ. About an hour ago, I downloaded Peggle, just to see what all the fuss was about.
I'm only off it now because Mrs Fiendish has wrested it from my grip.
That's ace, that.

I'd like plants vs zombies for iphone pls

Yeah, promised myself I wouldn't buy iphone peggle (having bought it on three different formats already) but couldn't resist 59p.

There's a game called EndWar that claims to be Advance Wars-ish but though I d/l'ed for cheap when it came out, I've yet to play it (still too consumed by Puzzle Quest holy shit is that a great game and yes I am three years behind the curve but w/e)

not feeling the Peggle love yet - too much downtime for an iphone game
― baaderonixx, Tuesday, 16 June 2009 16:08 (fourteen years ago) link
that's what i like about it. i can play it standing on the metro! also, games with a lot of controlling/touching just get my fingers in the way of hte screen.
― s1ocki, Tuesday, 16 June 2009 16:39 (fourteen years ago) link
Was totally addicted to Peggle for the six or seven hours it took me to finish all the levels, then instantly got bored. The challenges are OK for the first part, but then just get too hard to be interesting.
― stet, Tuesday, 16 June 2009 17:58 (fourteen years ago) link
i'm almost finished all the challenges :D
― s1ocki, Tuesday, 16 June 2009 18:16 (fourteen years ago) link
the fancier/more expensive they get, the more bauble-y
the upgrades are really just to make the feedback loop going, where you get more cards. but at the certain point (probably around lvl 250?) you start being resource-constrained. thankfully the game is still very playable by that point, you should have a ton of cards and possible decks
― Nhex, Sunday, 6 November 2022 17:45 (one year ago) link
still playing Snap. i played constantly the past week to go from rank 60 to 65 and back to 59, worse than i started for the season
filled for hatred for myself and life in general, why do i do this to myself
