iPhone games (also Ipod Tooch/iPad games too)

give it a few more shots! i know a few friends who still like it, so it could be just me. one thing that might mitigate the randomness is the parts where you communicate with aliens. i think what you're supposed to do is keep track of the alien words you learn, because they stay the same from game to game (at least i THINK they do - i may have had a really boring dream where i made that fact up, sorry). so in theory you could gradually learn the alien words and then every encounter you have with them would end up being a positive one.

i started to write down the alien/english translation for words i learned and had about 6 of them before i quit. if you want me to share them here i'd be happy to do it

tiny dice dungeon 4 real. it is freeee and scratches that game of chance meets rpg itch sorta like those slot rpgs.

yep yep yep
it's very good

Out There is pure masochism. It's a real time drain.

I need to sell my first gen Ipad cause it fucks up more than any computer I've ever had.

But it has so much crap/porn on it. Decisions..

guys, spellpix: http://toucharcade.com/2014/05/05/spellpix-review/

metal slug defense

yup, another sucker for Tiny Dice Dungeon here

any idea what that "+" icon on the top left of the battle screen means? the one next to your number of Phoenix Downs

man, when you win in multiplayer, some opponents might have 100,000+ dice. and you can't stop the animation, it's painful, and goes on FOREVER

tales of the adventure company. another rpg/puzzle blend!

VVVVVV any good?

yes

great game on PCs, assume iOS port is similarly great

at zachlyon's rec I tried out Quadropus Rampage, not too shabby. endless smasher, vaguely Bastion-like in action mechanics
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/quadropus-rampage/id635874036?mt=8

highly recommend towelfight by those same devs too.

damn, missed that being free by a couple weeks

rpg/upgrade elements in quadropus are great, just a really well-constructed game

and as opposed to MPQ and its constant real-time based life-wasting mechanics quadropus actually makes me take breaks to wait for the next day's doubloon/coin spinner if i have a good run going and want to collect enough doubloons for a res

of course i just beat pete so i don't know how long i'll stay interested but still

i played that game for ages and still only barely made a dent in pete.

ok, Soccer Stars, anyone?

tips to get higher than my 52% success?

this flick kick football legends game is pretty lol and fun

esp. the little player quotes on the backs of their player cards eg. "football is like a pint. it's delicious and cold and then you drink it."

RFI any of the panzer tactics/general/blitz series of games/DOS clones?

rfi has anyone beat ziggurat

afaik nobody has beaten ziggurat, think i heard the creator say that a couple weeks ago

monument valley on sale.

world of tanks blitz is really fun

my google search bar rn: "kim kardashian game tips"

i just want to know why i can show up to an event in a hoodie and a peasant skirt and have the paparazzi all over my dick, and then other times i show up in an expensive gown and they give me shade.

yeah but what do you want to know about the kim kardashian game

ha

okay lol xp

right now the kim k game server is down, and people on twitter are angrily tweeting kim kardashian to ask her when it will be fixed. it's like c'mon guys, digging a hole in the ground and whispering "the kim k game server is down" into it is more likely to produce a fixed game server than asking kim kardashian.

somebody's paying up that $85M to her, might as well complain

Any recommendations here?

def card wars

is it any good on an iphone or does it need an ipad?

It's not on the list, but Hoplite! Fans of 868-HACK will love it

i wouldn't play card wars on an iphone but i think it's doable

ok, i'll floop the pig

Fiz is so slow and dull. Geared against you from the outset.

I think I'm doing it wrong (as the actress said to the bishop).

max_read, do you play hoplite, and if so, do you rank 50th out of 2,074 players with a top score of 151?

wwe supercard

i came here to say that

yeah for real

IAP's :((( I know where this will lead.

I only downloaded it to get a $5 GameStop coupon, but Tyrant Unleashed isn't a bad card game

i played it a little - the theme is cool but the mechanics were too boring to keep my attention (lol bc i'm still playing wwe supercard)

Just got my 6+, upgrade from my 4S. The new screen makes games look totally amazing, even stuff like Puzzle and Dragons and Marvel Puzzle Quest have upscaled assets with great color and resolution. The aforementioned Tyrant Unleashed looks pretty awesome too
