IAP power-ups are the worst thing that has ever happened to gaming

weird things happening with game centre. Polyphonic I seem to be in a game with you where I apparently played "GHOSTING" ... but I didn't!

I never do IAP stuff so it hasn't ruined the game for me; the main thing you can buy are extra coins so that you can always have three boosts going in a game (and some boosts are deceptively beneficial; the "double pig/clock/multiplier one is amazing, plus they made the blue monster's power super useful by having him double the effect of pigs/clocks/multipliers)

i have played this game a lot, but im kind of hungry and hungover, and i must say, that sentence is just nonsense to me haha

Ok, my problems with letterpress are a) buggy as shit, half my moves fail to register b) wouldn't let me play the word 'doldrum' c) the fundamental game theory underpinning this seems a bit broke? Basically it plays out similarly to a game of nim most of the time: if you can make sure you take the last square you're pretty much guaranteed a win, because it's hard to build up a very big lead at any stage. For that reason there's an incentive to avoid covering uncoloured letters at all, the best strategy is to try to maintain a stalemate position by only using letters that have been used before while waiting for your opponent to spread out enough for you to put in the killing move. And if you're both playing with that strategy then ok, stalemates are finite because the possible wordset is finite, but they can still last a LONG time. Long enough to suck all the fun out of playing.

HE-MAN
― Jeff, Saturday, 27 October 2012 13:04 (eleven years ago) link
JimD OTM. But there is a third way: if you can protect all the vowels, you can leave the last square to the other player and they still won't have enough to win. Harder to pull off, though.

trying to get onto the top 25 all time list for hyper hexagonest. currently i'm #34, ~3-4 seconds away from getting onto the list.

If you would try a little harder, it might help

oh yeah i remember this game. pretty dope
Pixld is by the portal team and is cheap and has potential. Also I am currently NUMBER ONE ON IN THE WORLD at the "must match" game mode.

no wifi just 3G so I can't post pix but during sandy I crashed the top 25 :)
― Mordy, Tuesday, 30 October 2012 21:26 (eleven years ago) link
Respect to Jim for reclaiming the top spot. Disrespect for keeping me off it.
― itt: 'splaining men (ledge), Tuesday, 30 October 2012 22:21 (eleven years ago) link
Something's well squiffy with these leaderboards though, every time I restart the game it seems to remove me altogether.
― JimD, Tuesday, 30 October 2012 22:37 (eleven years ago) link
i'm late on this game but i got hexagon just before a plane ride and oh god do i suck, i'm like at 25s on the easiest mode :( also the line mode that comes in after 10s kills me most of the time, for some reason, it fucks up my brain and i can't really see which are the hexagon sides i need to avoid
― Jibe, Wednesday, 31 October 2012 00:40 (eleven years ago) link
Game over. Begin.
― Plasmon, Wednesday, 31 October 2012 03:10 (eleven years ago) link
Often make it into 30-40 second range on the easy level tonight but can't beat Square and make it to 45.
Took me awhile to recognize how the patterns repeat. My favorite pattern is the one that sometimes shows up around 18 seconds where you can make a constant left around a spiral, ~2 turns non stop. Whee.
Checkpoints would make this so much easier, it's the lack of practice on the later patterns that makes them so hard to beat. Same problem with the Impossible Game (have you beaten that too Mordy?).
― Plasmon, Wednesday, 31 October 2012 03:26 (eleven years ago) link
Begin.
It's that fucking pattern where each alternate conical segment has a wall in, which is then alternated immediately for the next wave. And the one where you have several long hooks very close together. Got hexagon on the first two, but the final one can barely get triangle regularly.
― Fizzles, Wednesday, 31 October 2012 07:04 (eleven years ago) link
Got to hexagon on the first level after a maddening best time of 59.43 yesterday. The unlocked hyper level is ridiculous.
This is probably the worst game to play after midnight when you have work in the morning.
― Plasmon, Friday, 2 November 2012 03:40 (eleven years ago) link
ha i tried playing it the other night coming back from an evening out and let me tell you, drinking def impairs you at this game

I hadn't even played it until you posted this however:

God damn!
Next try for the Donkey Kong record.
Or become a fighter pilot / F1 driver.

Hey Mordy could you do us all a quick favor and beat Battletoads by COB today? thanks!

your terrible idea: put together a social event at work called Corn on the COB

Finally got hexagon on the 2nd stage, can barely get to triangle on the 3rd.
The moment around 12 seconds of the 3rd stage when the spinning board suddenly spins even faster for half a second and then jerks to a near stop is such a beautiful fuck you.

I've been playing this. Pretty good! Nintendo-style side-scrolling brawler with good play action and a surprisingly good sense of humor. Changes enough to keep it interesting (the boards/levels are never exactly the same twice)although as I've gotten further along the "quests" have taken me longer to achieve, especially the ones where you have to do x y's in a single game. I've been trying to knock down 15 torches in a game for days, best I've done is 11.
― Knut Horowitz, Able-Bodied Investment Banker and Ladies Man (Hurting 2), Monday, 5 November 2012 16:01 (eleven years ago) link
15 torches was a tough one. I'm stuck getting a 100 hit combo and 200 kills in one game.
― Jeff, Monday, 5 November 2012 16:17 (eleven years ago) link
anyone here play the board game PUERTO RICO? (mordy, i feel like you might?)
got the official ipad version, which is pretty faithful, but it's hard to find other players. anyone up for it?
― Author ~ Coach ~ Goddess (s1ocki), Monday, 5 November 2012 17:41 (eleven years ago) link
don't forget you can bypass the quests for 1000PP if you want to, i think i did that for the 200-hit combo onefor the torch one, i recommend Power Slam, you can uppercut/slam (2 hits) torches with the right spacing
― Nhex, Monday, 5 November 2012 17:49 (eleven years ago) link
you don't even need the power-up, but it gives a wider AOE
what's the deal with the hats? are they really just for show?
― Knut Horowitz, Able-Bodied Investment Banker and Ladies Man (Hurting 2), Monday, 5 November 2012 17:56 (eleven years ago) link
yup.
― Nhex, Monday, 5 November 2012 18:56 (eleven years ago) link
you buy them so that if the person next to you on the bus happens to be familiar with the game, he'll see your hat and think "wow, that guy got a new hat". other than that, totally pointless.

Bypassing quests isn't my style.

s1ocki, how much is ipad version? if it's not too much i'll grab it.
