More than playing a Choose Your Own Adventure game, these are like playing a themed version of Alter Ego, and if you haven't played that, you should really click that link. I'm looking forward to grabbing either the Star Captain one or Eerie Real Estate Agent after I go through these a few times.

I played an early build of Divekick last year and it's actually really fun, I'd LOVE to have that on iOS if the multiplayer worked and didn't lag badly.

Evil Fluffy posted:After playing some endless runners I realized there's one that simply has to be made. An endless runner of the Battletoads jet bike track. You know, as a kid I played the poo poo out of Battletoads and the jetbike stage (stage 3 best stage) was the only one I remembered when I played it again a couple years back. As in, I still had the muscle memory to do the drat patterns and complete it successfully. so yeah, bring it on. The one endless runner I'll know how to play from the start! now if you'd said that unicycle stage or something

Anyone have any good word games (wordplay, anagrams, scrabble-style word construction from random letters) for ipad? The more challenging, the better (that said, I hate time limits but that's a whole other animal).

Quarrel was pretty fun, basically an anagram game crossed with Risk.

It's only a matter of time before we start discussing how best to monetize your frustration with skillbased gameplay.

One Epic Knight is a fun endless runner and actually has pretty reasonable iap. The only problem is that the environment and obstacles get stale after a while.

^^^ get out of my head I like some endless runners with upgrades and optional IAP. Am I a monster? I played the poo poo out of Temple Run and am currently addicted to One Epic Knight, I've spent hours playing it and am close to getting all the achievements. I spent $3 on the coin doubler and after a week of playing it spent another $2 on a bunch of potions.

So I remember someone in the past recommended the Hunters games for people who like tactics, but I was wondering if it's worth playing the original first or if I should just jump straight to the second one?

DaveKap posted:I want to point you at Versu and I'm curious what you think of it compared to Alter Ego and Choice of. OK, this looks pretty cool, will definitely try it out. I also have a few of the Gamebook Adventures games/books, but haven't really gone through them yet; the Choice of stuff, like Alter Ego, just seems much easier to get into by way of being simple and uncluttered.

Actually a somewhat linear choose your own adventure I enjoyed was "cause of death." It's a police procedural and fun if you enjoy those kind of TV shows and wanted to dabble in playing the detective. Some minor puzzle solving and sometimes the choices are more of a test of if you can choose the right path rather than there being real branching. The first episode is free if I remember correctly so it's worth a try! I haven't played all that is available.

It's both a website and an iOS app. It's just an ios review/news site. They are pretty honest about apps and whether they suck or not. If a really fun apps happens to go free they pop out an alert. http://toucharcade.com - it's also partially run by goons.

Ghostlight posted:My go-to is SpellTower. It has a couple of modes, only one of which is timed. I find it pretty challenging in Puzzle mode since it'll ramp you up into having to give it words of a minimum length in order to get rid of letters, so you slowly drown in a sea of 5 & 6 requirement Js and Xs. Just started with this and already loving it. Simple and well presented. The dictionary function is a really nice touch too. Perfect. I also gave Qatqi a shot and, while beautiful, I found the design and music a little on the distracting side.

Sad lions posted:Anyone have any good word games (wordplay, anagrams, scrabble-style word construction from random letters) for ipad? It's not universal, iPhone only, but Wordjong is worth checking out. It's the tile matching Mahjong variant, but this time you need to clear the pattern by using the letter tiles to make words. Gets pretty challenging as obviously the better you make this word, the fewer good letters that may be left to clear the next one. http://appshopper.com/games/wordjong Also I was away from the forums for a couple of months. Was everyone talking about WarGames while I was gone? If not, you should all get WarGames. It's Dungeon Raid, but with a retro '80s feel, Matthew Broderick, and global thermonuclear war. You should buy WarGames.

I haven't really done much iOS gaming but me and the girlfriend had a lot of fun playing spaceteam on our iPads last night. Its fun but I can see the novelty wearing off pretty quick. Are there any other good co-op games for the iPad/phone? I guess even a good 2 player competitive game would be cool too.
