Yeah, would've been great to know that Uplink was tablet only. Oh well, money to a good cause, at least.

Bit Trip is up, and apparently the resolution is jacked up on some devices: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gaijingames.bittripbeat Ah, Android. Will you ever not make it not insanely difficult for developers to see if their games and apps will work on all devices?

Cruseydr posted:They need a port of Elements the Game for mobile. That game was the first digital CCG I've ever seen where they embraced the abilities of the virtual deck (cards that spawn other cards, cards that can duplicate, etc). It's only downside is that it gets super grindy for the endgame. To be fair I haven't played it in like 2 years. Fortunes of War is a good scratcher for that itch, the mechanics are Dominion with virtual deck stuff, plus 2- to 4-player ranked/unranked public online multiplayer and private online multi via friend codes. There's also a (limited) free version and a decent single-player campaign. Splizwarf fucked around with this message at 21:47 on Aug 15, 2012 |

Don't buy Bit.Trip or Uplink from the market when you can buy them from the latest Humble Bundle for way cheaper.

Without the ease of auto updating from the Market and such, since the Bundle versions are sideloaded. Cheaper sure, but there's a downside to that as well.

Not too happy with up link, the time for tracing has not been adjusted so its pretty hard with a touch screen vs a mouse as the interface isn't very forgiving

I already read the op, are there any other decent rpgs or FFT style games for this thing that doesn't require a tablet? I do not like action games without a controller, and I haven't bothered with that sixaxis thing yet.

So hackers have checked out the backend of the Google Play update, and it looks like they finally added some code to support gift cards and wishlists. It's only a matter of time now. http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/08/15/exclusive-google-is-gearing-up-to-finally-introduce-play-store-gift-cards/

The only good thing about wishlists would be for people to see if their wishlisted apps go on sale, and for developers to put things that are highly wishlisted on sale.

Still seems like something useful to only have those two uses, even if you can't publish your wishlist to friends via social networks or what have you.

I want to buy it pretty badly but there's no demo and that kills me. Pretty much the only thing I've thrown money down on in the last year without a demo was Wasted Land, which was unplayable (yeah yeah I know it worked for other people/hardware but it doesn't on mine) and Draw Race 2 (also pretty unplayable on my hardware, plus had intrusive ads in the paid version). Couldn't get my money back on either. On the other hand I've blown a shitload of money on games with demos. Lately I was a little frustrated to have bought Little Stars For Little Wars 2 (after getting addicted to the demo) and a day later found Planetary Wars (which is the same thing and doesn't look as cool but is much more satisfying to play). Played the demo for that for about 2 days and couldn't resist buying it. Tell me this won't be another Wasted Land fiasco, because it looks hell of great.

Ugh, Bit.Trip Beat's cut off at the top on my GNex. They put out a resolution fix yesterday for some tablets, so I hope they put up a fix for phones soon. If not, I wasted $0.99

^^^^ I have Spectral Souls and it is, frankly, just too unwieldly to play on phones, and stupidly expensive. Get GLWG, instead, it has a usable interface.

It's expensive, no doubt, though it is in-line cost wise with other DS/PSP ports, but how is it unwieldy, let alone too unwieldy to play on a phone? I finished it on my MT4G and was almost never fighting the interface to get anything done, if anything it's just got too much Stuff. But that's kind of a thing with SRPGs and RPGs in general, so eh. Lots of crafting recipes that you want to go back to a FAQ for since if you screw up you get a poo poo item instead of a failure. Missing out on recruiting a good character because you didn't go the sea path. Things like that are annoying, but the interface never really was.

Sorry, are you talking about Planet Wars or Planetary Wars? Regardless, Galcon is one of the best mobile strategy games I've ever played, along with Strategery (which sadly doesn't have an Android port). Probably the first game I ever had on a cell phone that was actually addicting, original, and fun.

Derp. Planet Wars, sorry. Planetary Wars does indeed look closer in DNA to Galcon than the other two do. I still think Galcon and (Planetary Wars) are visually horrible, though.  So... Geometry Wars-ish. Garish.

As for Galcon spinoffs, I'm a big fan of Modern Conflict, although it does take some effort to get to the point where you can "grind" non-campaign maps rather than buying gold for upgrades.

Generations of Chaos is absolutely terrible in my opinion. It's incredibly obtuse, and even once you get going, there's no real storyline. It's just a battle game. Upgrading your lands is really barebones from what I saw. It's one of the few Android related purchases I really regret. The complete lack of a storyline was a huge killer for me, I was expecting something RPG like and it's just got nothing. That said I only played it for a couple hours, tops, so maybe it gets better somehow.

Syrinxx posted:I guess I don't get this game because I found it to be pretty lame. I know it's supposed to be a comical take on Oregon Trail but the graphics are terrible (again, an intended effect) and the gameplay is pretty boring. Maybe I'm just not nostalgic enough for Oregon Trail. I've never played Oregon trail, just read the goon love for it but I have paid for kairosoft games and there are similarities. It's a process bar game with minigames (scavenging & suchlike) with cutesy 8-bit graphics, a zombie theme & some humour thrown in. There's no save game mechanism as such, close the program, open it again later & you can continue where you stopped. If you're picking it up & putting it down often you'll have to get in the habit of checking all your stats to see whether you just stopped, or are ready to set off again - gotta keep on top of those repairs buddy  It costs less that a Starbucks & has entertained me for hours, what else can I say?
