zenbound 2 is pretty damn neat and only a buckalso SFIV Volt which is just SFIV with online play is also just a buck and they're increasing the price by a buck every day until it's 8, so get it now if you want it
― Don't start the chain you know? (forksclovetofu), Friday, 1 July 2011 16:13 (twelve years ago) link
Wait so if I already have SF IV and I don't give two shits abt online play, there's no perks?

There aren't very many variables to think about but there is a fair bit of strategy to consider. You get points by controlling a road, city, cloister, or farming area, which you achieve by placing a game piece on the board. Your opponent may try to connect her controlled assets to yours. You can't place a game piece if someone has already done so on a contiguous road, city, etc.

stevie i dunno for sure but that SEEMS right? I think that's why it's hella cheap and then gonna get more expensive: it's like an expansion for the hardcore and then they'll phase out sf iv entirely.

i think they added new characters too, and i'm guessing that volt will get all of those upcoming updates now. Also, Volt requires iOS 4 and up, so the game probably takes advantage of the hardware better.

I'm playing that new keyboard replacement and a new task killer

Had a go of coin drop this morning. Really enjoyed the space level. Then the jungle level kicked off and... Rescue the girl coins? Piss off, seriously, piss all the way off. Agh.

Sword sorcery ep is pretty great! Like others said, it's not so much of a "game" but it's lovely to walk around the world. The music when you awaken the dark lord of evil (or whatever the tall devil dude is called) is fucking awesome.

New Kairosoft games are out!
― Crazed Mister Handy (kingfish), Monday, 4 July 2011 06:03 (twelve years ago) link
bought starfront, dead space, dungeon hunter ii, scrabble hd, risk hd, clue secrets and spies and nba jam for a buck apiece.
― ain't nuthin but a chicken waaaang (forksclovetofu), Monday, 4 July 2011 20:23 (twelve years ago) link
and pocket god. i gotta say the 99cent model makes impulse buying difficult to stop.
― ain't nuthin but a chicken waaaang (forksclovetofu), Monday, 4 July 2011 20:26 (twelve years ago) link
It's wonderful. Compared to how much these games would cost on a console. And I get just as much enjoyment out of them.

what are the best kairosoft games? i don't anything about them. and forks, once you're done with those i'd be happy to get some recommendations! i'll probably be finishing up swords and sorcery ep soon and i'm looking for a follow-up game.
― Z S, Monday, 4 July 2011 20:44 (twelve years ago) link
Get Game Dev Story first.
― polyphonic, Monday, 4 July 2011 21:18 (twelve years ago) link
oh shit, kairosoft made game dev story? i've definitely already played that (voted it #1 in coint and plick, i think, or a close second)
Pocket Academy, high school simulator!
― Z S, Monday, 4 July 2011 21:22 (twelve years ago) link
i played through game dev story obsessively like twice and then had this moment of clarity and deleted it immediately with zero remorse
― g++ (gbx), Monday, 4 July 2011 21:25 (twelve years ago) link
I couldn't figure out how to get started on Pocket Academy. Hot Springs Story was easier for me to get a hang of.
― polyphonic, Monday, 4 July 2011 21:25 (twelve years ago) link
I don't really think it's meant to be played more than twice, to be honest. Once to figure it out and once to get it right.
yep. i played it through one 20 year cycle, then deleted it. no regrets, i got way more than 99 cents of enjoyment out of it!
― Z S, Monday, 4 July 2011 23:21 (twelve years ago) link
GDS is awesome(see our thread) due to the ability to be rewarded for ultimate levels of profanity and screenshots

tiny tower. that's all i'll say. (free.)
― Mordy, Monday, 11 July 2011 19:21 (twelve years ago) link
28th floor right now. about to buy the 75 buck elevator.
― brooklyn's complicated relationship with bacon (forksclovetofu), Monday, 11 July 2011 19:27 (twelve years ago) link
just started an hour ago, so only at 5th floor. any tips for newbs?
― Mordy, Monday, 11 July 2011 19:27 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, don't spend your bucks on ANYTHING but elevators and paying people to live in your apartments unless you plan on actually paying money for the game. Those are the two necessities.it's a clever game: the only thing you need to pay for is for the game to move fasterplay it in two minute stints six to eight times a day and you'll be happy. Don't get trapped staring at it or you're gonna end up buying BUX
― brooklyn's complicated relationship with bacon (forksclovetofu), Monday, 11 July 2011 19:30 (twelve years ago) link
this game would be way cooler if you could rename businesses + ppl
― Mordy, Monday, 11 July 2011 19:32 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, they missed the boat on that. But you can dress your people in a zillion different ways
― brooklyn's complicated relationship with bacon (forksclovetofu), Monday, 11 July 2011 20:38 (twelve years ago) link
I got up to 20 floors and then deleted the game. I disagree about paying people to live in your apartments. I save up my bux to buy money in the largest increment.
― polyphonic, Monday, 11 July 2011 20:53 (twelve years ago) link
so is it preferable to put someone to work in their dream job even if they have less points in that field than another person?
― Mordy, Monday, 11 July 2011 21:02 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, cuz then you get three bux

It doesn't seem like having good employees really makes a huge difference.
― polyphonic, Monday, 11 July 2011 21:03 (twelve years ago) link
Nothing makes a huge difference because it's dull. Solitaire is better. This is just.... annoying. Deleted it after about fifteen floors or so. Could not see the point in continuing at all.
― fields of salmon, Tuesday, 12 July 2011 02:16 (twelve years ago) link
fifteen floors tho! that's a lot of gameplay.
― Mordy, Tuesday, 12 July 2011 02:18 (twelve years ago) link
You could say my life is full of excitement and promise, like Tiny Tower it was over at fifteen.
― fields of salmon, Tuesday, 12 July 2011 02:26 (twelve years ago) link
do not like these farmville type games
― bnw, Tuesday, 12 July 2011 02:32 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, I played Tiny Tower for like 5 minutes before it drove me crazy.
Flick Golf Extreme is pretty awesome. Great graphics.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 12 July 2011 02:51 (twelve years ago) link
Just got the third elevatorU guyz r playing tinytower wrongIts not a gameIts a tamagotchi

forks otm. 4 floors in I like it but I don't know long I'll stay interested.
― Confused Turtle (Zora), Tuesday, 12 July 2011 10:25 (twelve years ago) link
forks otm, and this game makes me hate myself for being such a mindless automaton
― Nhex, Saturday, 16 July 2011 18:29 (twelve years ago) link
I finally deleted it the other day after my irl self-esteem stock was totally depleted and there was no easy way to refill it.
― Z S, Saturday, 16 July 2011 19:15 (twelve years ago) link
u should buy selfesteem bux.
― generous doler out of lollies (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 16 July 2011 19:36 (twelve years ago) link
tinytower is great for people who don't have enough mindless responsibilities and find some sick pleasure in continuing to build LITERALLY meaningless monuments to their own self absorption and OCD, i.e. me
― generous doler out of lollies (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 16 July 2011 19:39 (twelve years ago) link
31 floors now
it gets slower as you play longer, maybe because i'm checking it less obsessively.
― generous doler out of lollies (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 16 July 2011 19:40 (twelve years ago) link
(he said as he took the VIP up to the 24th floor)
― generous doler out of lollies (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 16 July 2011 19:42 (twelve years ago) link
currently saving up for that first elevator upgrade. it seems like new floors are getting exponentially more expensive, which is causing the slowdown
