Little Inferno did my super cynical idea before I could. That is, making a game that denounces a genre, while making money off that genre at the same time. Ending spoilers: "THIS ENTIRE GAME WAS A POINTLESS GRIND AND STUPID WASTE OF TIME, THERE'S MORE TO LIFE THAN THIS (shouted through bullhorn at you)", while selling it for $5 a copy. Seems like a great scheme for having it both ways. Mine was going to be an indie artsy puzzle platformer, where the ending was a looping .gif of a dog pooping. I agree that Nimblebit way overuses pixel art. They should change to something not as overused, such as vector art. You know, like in a flash game or something.

As a programmer with the artistic skills of a table lamp, pixel art is pretty cool because there's almost a logical process behind it which makes doing it easier for me. Like how a "proper" diagonal line is supposed to be X pixels up, Y pixels across, etc. I can make things that look halfway decent and if I draw the same thing by hand it would look like dog poo poo. It just takes forever.

Little Inferno is great. You get these hints from early on that it's got a dark sub-layer, and it just bubbles up slowly but surely. I really dig it. Feenix fucked around with this message at 23:21 on Feb 5, 2013 |

psylent posted:Get New Star Soccer, it's free with limited play but you can unlock the full game for 99c. Buy the season mode right away don't stop don't think buy it play go. And maybe the extra weather/pitch dlc if you want some variety, but you may want to wait to buy that until you're a certain distance into the game so it feels like you're getting new stuff.

Patiently waiting for Rollercoaster Tycoon still Edit: Also, I just updated my game with a bit more content and gameplay improvements (bigger touch areas for movement etc.) New stuff includes researching and crafting traps for endless mode and capes for your character to boost stats. You also automatically use a bandage now if you are below 10 hp, so no more worrying about finding the small icon during the heat of battle Plus, it's still free!https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/take-my-machete/id582902140?mt=8 RhysD fucked around with this message at 01:36 on Feb 6, 2013 |

Supermagical just went free, along with an update that adds "cooperative online multiplayer," though I'm not sure how that could work exactly. It's a very nice little Puzzle-Bobble style game, and while there is a freemium currency it's easy to avoid paying AS LONG AS YOU KNOW TO SAVE SOME CHOCOCOINS TO BUY THE TIGER AND THE DRAGON. So, yeah, definitely give it a try but remember that you'll need a number of chococoins once you get to the "end" of each...map? Continent? Screen? I'm not sure what to call them.

Right, Supermagical. Second area, there's a level called Iron Towers. Brilliant for getting coins. Use the wizard that can blow up a line of the baddies, get the furthest back one you can, make sure to pick up all the soda. You can get like 600 coins in 3 minutes. Everywhere else blows.

Evil Fluffy posted:So for anyone that's played Beastie bay, got any tips? It seems like I get food incredibly slowly and going through a dungeon kills my food stores. early in the game, leaving me with a lot of "sit on your rear end and do nothing" time. To max out your food pretty quick, the Work stat of your critters is important. Headbands (and their upgraded things) help a lot. Make sure things that make food++ instead of wood++ are adjacent to your best beasts. IMO it's worth spending the coins (whatever the limited currency is) on upgrading your headbands so you can max out the benefit of them at all 3 levels. And of course, more critters. Max out as fast as possible. You should seriously be capturing every single monster you find until you max out and then replace the ones with the lowest amount of Work. You're not gonna really deviate from your starting 3-6 beasts, especially once you get schools. Oh and there's kinda gently caress all difference in the work stat on beasts of different star levels for some reason. Their battle stats change, but work is pretty consistent so just get rid of crappy beasts that have low Work numbers and get better ones and they'll harvest stuff faster than you can even spend it.

Tiger's 8000 and at the end of the first map area. I'm assuming the dragon's the same or that stupid epic one you can mix up with a bunch of items. Edit: If you don't save money for the tiger, you can't move on to the second area and you'll have to somehow grind out the 8000. SilverMike fucked around with this message at 07:16 on Feb 6, 2013 |

It's not cheap by App Store standards ($9.99), but Avadon: The Black Fortress is all the way RPG and it doesn't require internet and I think it'd be perfect for a plane ride. There's a demo available for PC/Mac, if you want to try it first.

Yeah I missed this part of the original post and am now 5000 short to buy the tiger after 2hrs of play. I'll probably move on to something else rather than grind that out, it's fun, but not THAT fun.

I'll probably move on to something else rather than grind that out, it's fun, but not THAT fun. I got lucky on my play through, so I didn't have to grind at all. But it's pretty easy to do what Trane did and I don't blame him for quitting. It's just sad, because it's a great game otherwise.

What are some of the best point and click style adventure games for the iPhone? I have a nice 13 hour flight and some layovers Friday, so I need some stuff in my arsenal. On the original flight I had the first Broken Sword and that was fun, but I kept getting stuck. That's pretty much the only adventure game I've really played on my phone though, so any other thoughts?

Definitely recommending The Walking Dead, although it's pretty different from a traditional adventure game. There's barely any inventory puzzle-solving to speak of and it's overall a very linear, dialogue-driven game-- most of your time is spent picking conversation options, and there are basically no wrong answers (or, in some cases ONLY wrong answers, if you prefer). The atmosphere and sense of tension are awesome, though, it's got the most morbid and dismal setting I've ever seen achieved in a game. Also, this is coming from someone who doesn't enjoy or really follow the TV show or the comics.

Is the upgrade in Pixel People that reduces the number of hearts required for a 'surprise discovery' a one-shot deal? I just noticed there are still 11 hearts up top. If so, that sucks. The game should do a better job of communicating whether or not upgrades are permanent or just one-time only.

Also seconding Walking Dead, the price of admission is a little steep for a mobile game but it's amazing. I'm playing through it on PS3 and I was literally shaking at the end of Episode 2.

TWD was IOS game of the year last year in my book, I couldn't put it down, and anyone that I put the game in front of was hooked. I also love Sam and Max so TellTale games will deliver if that's what you are looking for. Where do you even get these upgrades in Pixel People to lower the hearts?
