iPhone games (also Ipod Tooch/iPad games too)

What do the hats do?

My high is like 2.1 billion. It's weird I'll play a game and think I'm doing good and only end up scoring like 200 million. Then out of no where I'll hit a billion even though I think I'm not playing particularly well.

year walk is indeed amazing

Passed 6bn just now and not even sure how it happened, I was absent mindedly flicking around while thinking about something else entirely then hey presto.

ok i think this is starting to click - 2.456 billion, rank 10029

This would be much more enjoyable and less stressful on an iPad I imagine

Puzzle Craft got updated recently, they added new buildings and such. I forgot how much of a battery drain that game was...

The hats boost your starting multiplier, I suggest grabbing them.

I only ever do the Orient Express if I've stockpiled gold (20K+) and I feel like concentrating on an extended game; I then do peace + slow chain + double boost and pump upgraded condos into blue at the beginning as quickly as possible, hoping to get my multiplier over 200 right away. After that, it's just a balancing act of activating blue to extend time and boost multipliers, switching to green to get to megazone faster and trying to activate yellow before actually entering megazone (with a good multiplier, say 300+, you can get 3 billion points right there). Orient Express is a good way to game for a high score with this strategy because the multipliers increase faster.

I suck at extending time with blue. It never seems to amount to anything.

The thing that seems to do nothing for me is the match time extension boost, but iirc it is a key aspect of djp strategy and he has like 1000 billion more points than me so I am obv doing it wrong.

I'm worried I'm burning out on this game, because up until now my scores have been improving as my understanding improves, and that's fun and interesting. But now I feel like my understanding is maxed out and it's just my clumsy fat fucking fingers that are limiting my scoring.

(although I'm still not entirely clear on how I activate a power for megazone, whenever I get in there it seems like everything pauses for a second or two, during which I can't feed anything to anyone, and by the time that's passed the monsters have vanished).

Right, having the yellow bro out there and the timing of feeding him a condo before mega is tricky.

Do other powers work during megazone though, or just yellow? Because I'm SURE I've gone in with green active without it having any effect...

just yellow AFAICT, although you might be able to have your first match with blue count as well (but it wouldn't matter unless you have clocks/pigs/multipliers in your match)

btw my go-to boosts are peace, slow chain and double pink; I only used match extension early on

the easy grindy way to stockpile money is to just play a bunch of games using peace only

polymer is free right now. i've been meaning to get it. only a few games in its nice feeling how i was totally helpless the first few and am gradually developing the ability to actually plan ahead and execute strategies, etc.

want to stress again how much fun i'm having with sword and poker. It's a match 3 game with a twist: instead of jewels it's cards and you're matching for pairs, three of a kind, flush, straights, full house, etc. add a persistent RPG dungeoncrawl shell with level up weapon, health, shield and magic and this shit is golden. highly recommended; I need to get the sequel.

Also just picked up "heavy mach: defense" which looks interesting

Year walk is frustrating. Memorising sequences and revisiting old areas of the map to see if anything's changed are the dudliest of dud game mechanics.

Candy Crush all day (until I run out of lives, anyway)

Loving Polymer!

oh forks I went through a MASSIVE Sword and Poker phase, that game is a TIME SINK

it is man, it is
i'm at b20, can i assume this goes on forever?
you know there's a sequel right?

Oh yes I know there's a sequel

Fuck why did I download Infinity Blade

Fuck why did I download Infinity Blade

Get out while you can

lol, u thought sword and poker was a timesink

IB is totally a grind, but it's a fun grind with a good narrative gimmick. IB 2 is even better

i finished ib in like 2 hrs

no autographs please

he's talking about his irritable bowel

downloading this now, temple run clone be damned

it's okay for two bucks

i killed the last guy and if there was more to do i don't want to hear about it

You're supposed to kill him over and over and over

IB is so boring and yet I find myself playing it when I have two or three minutes. That's why Polymer is so great, quick load and makes me think of Katamari.

i know this demolishes any GAMER CRED i have but the game for me that is my timesuck is pvzombies YES AGAIN i wish i knew why

cuz they just put it out for free

i know cuz it happened to me :(

hopefully this means new one soon?

that'd be cool

looks like it, though this article is pretty old.

i have hit the level cap on the simpsons game o_O

raising a kid should be no prob, then

7268th, 3.8 billion in mamc

I up to 3.1 b I believe. Feel lke it's just a matter of time before I luck in to a huge score.

11.88bn and yeah, it felt like pure luck really, not even sure how it happened.

grabbed knights of pen and paper while it was free. its a nice throwback rpg.

^let me know how that is, i was looking at it on the store the other day

There is no life, only Candy Crush Saga.

that game is such bullshit man

^this
pen and paper is worth your time until it becomes a horrible grind. you should be able to get at least two or three hours of fun from it. Maybe more. Worth two bucks easy.
