Oh man, Space Agency sounds like the perfect game for a airplane trip coming up.

So how do I reliably "spread out the circle" my orbits in this game?

Somehow I always seem to go back and replay Space Miner every time I upgrade a device. A couple weeks ago I bought a new iPad and true to form I ended up playing through Space Miner again. I've gone through that game more times than I can count but I never seem to get tired of it. Just...one...more...level!

Yeah, at first I was just speeding up my orbit to try to get farther out.

Reciprocator posted:I don't play world of Warcraft anymore, but this game simulates healing with grid perfectly. It's a lot of fun, is very polished, and the difficulty scales nicely. I'm surprised there isn't any mention of it on TouchArcade yet. I've actually never played as a healer in WoW or any raid for that matter but have played healer classes here and there in a few games. Man is this game nerve-racking for me.. I have a mixed feeling of wanting to smash my iPad and 1 more round.

Thanks to the person who recommended that shark game. It's like Carmageddon with a shark! It's also the first tilt control game I've used on my iPhone that didn't annoy me.

Space Agency has iCloud syncing, too. I started playing it on my phone while commuting yesterday and this morning I decided to start redoing all the missions on my iPad. Opened up the app and after a moment saw that everything I had done on my phone was synced, all the way up to the objects currently in space! Pretty awesome, definitely gonna drop for the Unlock All thing just to support the dev. (I then proceeded to waste two hours in bed playing the drat game on my iPad.)

Just...one...more...level! This is so true. Partly because it's a good mission based asteroids/Sinistar game, but mainly because the characters are adorable and hilarious. So well written. Did the dev do any other stuff that's worth looking at?

Kaboobi posted:I remember reading some developer blog about how it wasn't profitable, and neither was the multiplayer spinoff they released later. This makes me sad. I had always assumed since Space Miner was such a cherished title that some day we would see a sequel to it. It's even sadder that the developer seems to have pretty much disappeared after that post. And that his last mention of game development was a somewhat bitter statement, which said in essence "I guess I'll make a freemium game now since even freemium garbage does better than great paid apps." I'm imagining that he suffered some sort of fugue and now wanders the streets trying to stick Chuck E. Cheese tokens into crevices to unlock IAP  VVV That's good to hear, even if the game wasn't my cup of tea. Dude deserves all the success he can get.VVV Pitnicker fucked around with this message at 04:14 on May 8, 2013 |

Sure modeling basic physics is easy, but docking objects in orbit would be ridiculously difficult with realistic physics. The entire fuel mechanic would have to be completely reworked. Some of the later missions already take 10+ minutes to complete at a minimum, which is pushing the boundary already for what an average cellphone gamer would tolerate. Basically, give it up wannabe astronauts. It's a simple, but entertaining and free video game.

I really like Space Agency, and thanks for recommending it. I would just love it more if on reentry I was maintaining a 45 degree angle rather than coming straight down. But eh, not really a dealbreaker I guess. Definitely a fun little timewaster.

One of the ways that Angry Birds worked so well as a physics game is because all of the mechanics felt real. It took practically no experimenting to get a feel for how stuff would react. Simplifying the way that orbiting rockets work in a cell phone game is understandable, but changing it to something that is almost the opposite of realistic is terrible. edit: I"m not saying it isn't a fun game, just that they made a pretty silly design decision. withak fucked around with this message at 05:05 on May 8, 2013 |

You can fly a rocket to space and crash into the moon, guy. Give it a rest. Do you complain about Kerbal being unrealistic because you are kerbals and not humans?

In Space Agency, I cannot get the parts to dock in mission 9. They don't even appear to have to docking bumps unless the payloads are deployed. What am I missing?

Just looked at the App Store Top 200. SurvivalCraft is #1, topping Minecraft, and for some reason Bastion moved up 197 places to reach #4?! That is crazy.

Bastion's had a price drop to 99c, which would explain it.

Annexed posted:It's a really great port. I loved the controls and wish more games used them. I wish I could say the same about the controls, I just can't get them. It may be because I am using my 5 lb iPad 3 to play the game but it is just not comfortable at all. Once I upgrade to either a retina iPad mini if it gets releases or a lighter full sized iPad I plan to play it. I am even holding off on playing the Steam version I bought because, drat it, I want to play Bastion on the go.

Dungeon Crawlers, Tactical Solider (not warrior), Undercroft, The Quest. Sword and Poker, Robokill 1 and 2. 1 and 2 are top down / isometric turn based strategy RPGs, 3 and 4 are like Eye of the Beholder and Daggerfall respectively, 5 owns hard and 6 is a top down twin stick dungeony? shooter.

Apocron posted:Are any of the gamevil Baseball Superstars games significantly better than the rest or are they all pretty much the same? 2009, 2010, and maybe 2011 are loving great and not heavy on IAP, but 2012 and BS2 are fulla that poo poo. Unlike the rest of the app store's new IAP trend, those games were made for the Asian markets where they eat that poo poo up and beg for more ways to throw money at video games. You can play them without spending extra money but you're gonna have a bad time because everything will be working against you as they're designed to make you consume paid items very frequently. It's a weird gaming culture they have and these hella grindy Asian games really do not translate well to Western markets. Bummey fucked around with this message at 07:24 on May 8, 2013 |

Space Agency was sort of neat but there's simplified physics and then there's this stuff which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. As Bummey might say it's hella dumb.

I played them religiously until they went IAP. The soccer game was great too.
