I'm having more fun with CSR racing than I did with Puzzlecraft.

Damn, The World Ends With You just released outta nowhere.I have this on DS but was unable to get into it. Tempted to see if iPad is a better play but it's twenty bucks.

damn, i guess square can still get away with those prices eh? well, it's a really great game, but it's one of the few DS games that really had you using both the stylus AND the buttons all at once in a crazy ass frenzy - not to mention actually having to pay attention to both screens! - i'm a little skeptical about how this port's gonna work

Cafe Nipponica is inessential compared to some of the other Kairosofts, but hey, it's another one.

Beat Puzzle Craft, need more.
― Jeff, Monday, 27 August 2012 11:23 (eleven years ago) link
I already have game dev story. What would you say are the "essential" kairosofts beyond that?
― s.clover, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 15:40 (eleven years ago) link
i liked that racing one
― Mordy, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 16:03 (eleven years ago) link
Actually Nipponica is probably as essential as the others. They're all the same game.
The racing one was a bit of an outlier in that you aren't interacting with customers. It has that in common with Game Dev.

having never played a game of Magic, I am now very much hooked on the iPad version

I couldn't get over the learning curb. I'm a dummy with those card games.

Kairosofts I liked:
Venture TownsEpic RPG / Dungeonville (same game, pick your genre)Pocket League
The only one that seemed really inessential was the Mega Mall Story. But then again, I fly several hours every week so I always grab the latest one as it will provide enough entertainment for the flight(s).
― Fiendish Doctor Wu (kingfish), Thursday, 30 August 2012 07:46 (eleven years ago) link
I liked Mega Mall Story, but it was too easy. It was just non-stop upgrading and success.
― pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Thursday, 30 August 2012 17:16 (eleven years ago) link
I started Epic Astro Story, and for about 8 game years I thought it might be my favorite Kairosoft game, but it becomes a real slog after awhile.

how do i shot upgraded hit in 10000000?

I played this game for a long ass time before I even realized there was a way to upgrade the rooms.. had like 100k wood and stone to spend.

Middle Manager of Justice is such a wasted opportunity. Double Fine could do much better.

I just spent a short flight playing spell sword. Good recommendation! Lots of fun! Also, unlike some of the games, it's a small download and free. Def worth a download.

Spellsword was pretty cool, I can vouch

been playing lots of Plague Inc. & it's super fun & I highly recommend it. plus then I read headlines like this & think, oh shit, I know this one ends, in the complete extinction of the human species
― Euler, Friday, 7 September 2012 02:43 (eleven years ago) link
little things forever is a low stress "find the hidden object" game.at two bucks i have gotten my money's worth and then some.TBRR i have been hooked on Magic Planeswalker the Nerdening. It's the first time I've spent ten bucks on an ipad game and it's sadly worth it.

they are good. note that both are probably better experiences on iPad, unless you have small fingertips
― Nhex, Friday, 7 September 2012 16:34 (eleven years ago) link
people also rep for WELDER, I'm lukewarm.Scrabble is worth the investment, you can play speed games against the computer and it's fun.oh and DEFINITELY try Quarrel; it's great right up to the point where it gets basically impossible on the harder settings.Scribblenauts is, at heart, a word game too.
― This cad needs a cordial introduction to Eugene of Oxbow. (forksclovetofu), Friday, 7 September 2012 16:45 (eleven years ago) link
WELDER was great until they fucked it up by adding stupid new features.
― Jeff, Friday, 7 September 2012 16:53 (eleven years ago) link
skip WELDER, the design around the in-game app purchase stuff is garbage
― Nhex, Friday, 7 September 2012 17:59 (eleven years ago) link
Super Hexagon might be the ultimate bite sized game. It's the new one by Terry Cavanagh, the guy who made VVVVVV. So far my longest game was 15.05 seconds! It just came out this week and is on sale for 99 cents for a couple more days, I think. Recommended if you like super simple, but extremely tough arcade syle gaming with a retro soundtrack. There's a free version you can play online, but it seems much better on iOS.
― JCL, Saturday, 8 September 2012 18:11 (eleven years ago) link
Improved to 18.02
― JCL, Saturday, 8 September 2012 18:21 (eleven years ago) link
i remember playing the flash version and being reaaaally frustrated, but i could see how it might work better on a phone
― Nhex, Saturday, 8 September 2012 18:53 (eleven years ago) link
It's definitely not a game to play if you have anger issues! I've improved my score to 29.39.
― JCL, Saturday, 8 September 2012 19:23 (eleven years ago) link
Haven't played in awhile. I wish the look and feel wasn't so shitty but I like the core gameplay.

7 Little Words isn't very deep if you don't pay money, but I liked the free part of it:

Another endorsement here for Super Hexagon. I'm up to 55 seconds!
