You do have to grind a bit, but the levels are fun enough that I don't mind. I've been playing it before I got to bed and find myself staying up way to late.

I love everything about this post. Temple Run 2 is really fun but runs awful on an iPhone 4  I feel like most of my deaths come from the game hiccuping or getting a text during.

omg chael crash posted:Kepa, help! I thought we made it so you can destroy those if you got stuck... maybe not? Lammy! posted:Looks like the Punch Quest update is out. Downloaded and threw $15 their way. Any good-guy developer who makes their IAP's as unobtrusive as possible and is rewarded for it by poor profits, and STILL puts out updates deserves the support It's doing pretty good now actually. After we increased the early prices, it righted itself out. That turned out to be the main problem by far. We plan on doing a small update soon to fix a couple of bugs (Spartan Mode is COVERED IN SPIKES now). Then we'd like to do small content updates every month or two.

Anyone have any idea why Hunters 2 just crashes every time I start it up? It hangs on the first Rodeo Games screen for a few seconds and then just crashes. Form what I can tell from the iTunes store it SHOULD be compatible with my 4.

Memory fragmentation or duff downloads are the cause of 99% of the unusual crashes on iOS devices (ie when there aren't lots of other players talking about it crashing). Power cycling the device with a complete power off and on again generally sorts the memory fragmentation and if that doesn't work, deleting and re-installing (or even re-downloading) can fix the latter. Crashing on the initial splash screen of an app could be either. It would be before anything in the game is running, so it's usually a sign of something being corrupted in the binary.

So I've run into this weird problem where I'm using the iPhone instead of my 3DS on the bus because honestly I like being able to listen to poo poo while playing games. I've really been enjoying Fairway Solitaire, and Punch Quest (and I've like, 100%'ed Jetpack Joyride and Middle Manager of Justice.). I like games that move at that pace, like I can pick it up and make some progress and fill some bars and do some things, but the action feels a bit more involved than say, a Tiny Tower where I'm just clicking buttons and watching the game play itself. However, it's an iPhone, so a game like Hundreds is probably too complicated for the smaller screen. I'm not sure what other games to look into though.

Game Dev Story, Racing Story or whatever it's called, Pocket League Story, Astro Story, Dungeon Village, and Restaurant Story sound right up your alley. The first two are generally considered the best though

The Penny Arcade game is really fun. Great deckbuilder game that I like at least as much as Ascension after playing it all weekend. Best $1 I've spent in a while.

The controls for moving and attacking with your hero are a little wonky but it still works and the rest of the build/defend mechanics are sound. Theres a decent amount of depth in upgrading as well. It's also actually pretty challenging without feeling cheap.

Yeah it made a couple long bus rides a lot more enjoyable today. It could really use an expansion pack or two to add a little more variety, but well worth a buck.

That's what I was just thinking. The only thing I like more about Ascension is the larger variety, but it's still really fun and a nice change after putting a lot of hours into Ascension.

Trucker's Delight. Made by Mobigame, makers of Edge and Edge Extended. Trailer:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egcXvqiho4w and incredibly awesome. I have no idea if the game is as good as the trailer.

I've been playing this one on Linux and Android for a couple years now. It's fun and the community is interesting. Devs are trying to raise money so they can fund a port to iOS. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/guild/vendetta-online http://vendetta-online.com/

Is it still possible to swap iTunes accounts on an iPad, download apps off that account, and then swap back? My girlfriend received an iPad for Christmas and I'd like to share some games with her.

Yep, certainly is. And it's easier now as you can download updates without having to re-enter passwords.

My girlfriend received an iPad for Christmas and I'd like to share some games with her. The only tricky part is if she's using iTunes Match - signing into another account will disable it, and re-enabling it wipes any downloaded music from the iPad.

When I installed apps on an iPad that's since been logged in to a different iCloud account, trying to update the apps that came from my iCloud account always prompts a re-log-in.

Dumb question i'm sure. Can I buy in-app purchases with appstore credit or are they solely credit card? I have a few giftcards from the holidays, but i pretty much got most apps i'm interested in already. Just wondering if its possible.

Yeah, it'll default to gift card balance first, then any outstanding balance would go to a credit card.

Going overseas, so far i've grabbed these games for the ~24 hours of flight: the walking dead, PvZ HD, blockheads, the room, infinity blade 2.. any other suggestions for long-ish games that could help pass the time quickly for ~24 hours of flying?
