iPhone games (also Ipod Tooch/iPad games too)

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.

entire world seems to agree that iphone katamari is a sin against god and capitalism

i liked how one wired blog yesterday had a post that was all "THIS IS BROKEN GARBAGE" (the games one) and the gadget one was like "THIS IS SIMPLY WONDERFUL!"

12 hours and sobering up later, Rolando still fun

he sounds like a great guy!

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?

fieldrunners is so-so... found it way too easy for a tower defense game, not enough towers and shit either...

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.

thats funny

Anybody bought the full version of Touch Physics? I likes this game.

is there a hack/pirate network of iphone stuff floating around yet? I don't even have the machine, just curious.

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).

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.

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?

Bought that after being recommended it by MANY people, but find it really tedious. Drop7 is much much much better.

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.

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).

I second the Drop7 recommendation.

just press the home button, it'll save. xp

Is anyone else playing the stupid-yet-addictive iMafia game?

no!!

geo-defense is a pretty good one. like tower defense x geometry wars

all i play is The Office mini golf game. i need to find a real one because work cut out pretty much all internet except snopes.com

dan i started the mafia game but had noone to join my gang o thugs

peggle is up for $.99 right now

deal of the year imo

seriously, i bought it two weeks ago and have played it for like 283928392 hours so far

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.

yup, it's great :)

I'd like plants vs zombies for iphone pls

Fucking hell, that looks topp. Yes, so would I.

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

yup, it's great :)

was just thinking that - wouldn't pay $20 for computer version but $5 for iphone i'd hit it

would advance wars work well? OMG

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)

:O

just saw this

ah shit yeah it's UniWar that I have, not EndWar; it comes up in the comments to that kotaku post.

not feeling the Peggle love yet - too much downtime for an iphone game

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.

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.

i'm almost finished all the challenges :D

Yeh, Mrs Fiendish is almost finished it (I'm not, but I've not played it nearly as much) so I guess it might be lacking in longevity somewhat. Was that true of the desktop versions as well? Only there's a big fucking difference between 59p (or even £2.99) for a lovely wee game that doesn't last long, and £14.95 for the same kind of thing.

(Actually: Mrs Fiendish is almost finished the main game, not the challenges. So fuck it, we've got a tonne of life left to squeeze out of it.)

i dig on peggle majorly but i only play it for my 20 minute subway commute

Most of the challenges in Peggle are pretty doable but that I've never been able to nail that 750K challenge.

picked up let's golf ON IPHONE on sale for £0.59

is it just me or doesn't it have a framerate? it's so juddery

have to say tho for 59p it's a great little game, and still playable through the stutters

maybe it's a 2G vs 3G iphone problem. the 3G has more processing power right?

Nevermind. This is the wrong thread. Right thread is over here of course: Zing: A (beta) ILX client for Macs

I remembered the key word "beta."
