You're missing out on some nutty stuff if you don't play the alpaca game yourself. Like executioner alpacas appearing and you controlling them to knock out the normal alpacas and chop up your alpaca. That and firing lasers at alpaca God. Powered by angel alpacas, of course. Plus the music rules.

I missed the boat on this game, but you guys only refer to it as the "Alpaca game"

WTF is it called?

It seems they still spawn when the app is not in the foreground. Kill alpacas, read a page of forum posts, kill alpacas.

On the game's page in the Android Play Store (I now have the game on my phone and iPad), it says that it takes 60/90 seconds for the game to spawn the maximum amount of alpacas. So just fire up the game every 2 minutes and you'll evolve your monstrosity in no time.

Here's a tip for alpacalypse. Plant your finger in the screen and wipe it around the hers instead of tapping each alpaca.

Alpaca Evolution has got to be one of the toughest games I've played in quite some time! Upon download and install it crashed my phone and sent me into a reboot loop. Can I save my jailbreak and fix this insanity that has never happened before to such a ridiculous extent that I couldn't revert it?

Yes yes of course this could (likely) be due to a jailbreak tweak, or another app, or whatever-something-else already there. But had I kept on not installing it I don't think it's unreasonable to think I'd be better off now.

It's super creepy, and the fact you have to grind for the later foes helps build that up a bit. There's nothing to the game beyond clicking every minute or so that I've seen

I'd forgotten how much I hate XCom. My highest-ranked guy died because he missed a 91% shot, and then my second highest-ranked guy died after a rocket from another guy inexplicably blew him up instead of carrying on to where it was supposed to go.

Ugh. the rocket thing blows. I don't like cheating XCOM but if it fucks you due to it's messed up bugs I'd recommend just turning off the phone and save scumming it (unless you are taking about rockets missing occasionally which is just part of the game)

Also, I downloaded that Alpaca game because of this thread and I'm not sure what kind of crack you guys are smoking that you think that poo poo is fun. I guess it's kind of wacky but it might be the most boring game I have ever played.

Playing this or battle cats for the gameplay is like watching a Crank movie for the plot resolution. If the evolution descriptions don't amuse and intrigue you enough on their own, don't bother. I love this god damned alpaca game.

Since I don't speak Japanese, is there anyone that can tell me what the "gameplay" text is? Specifically for Stage 7? It seems to me that a unicycle-riding Tetsuo-alpaca-blob might have something interesting to say.

I don't know about later in the game but the first few times you see speech bubbles, it's not actual words, just vocalizations of the sounds Alpacas presumably make.

Actually I just installed it and this is the only instructional text it shows you in first launch. So there's that.

Isn't poo poo going wrong part of what makes Xcom so great?

What in a battle goes precisely to plan? Nothing. poo poo happens, you readjust. That's the secret sauce of this title.

Nope, if you have bought it before it should still be available on the purchases tab in iTunes.

There's a difference between "poo poo goes wrong so roll with it" and "the game fucks you over because of a glitch." Ironman is a very intriguing idea but it would work much better in a less bug-riddled game.

I'm sure no one cares anymore but Square's card game/cash grab, Guardian Cross, updated to version 2.0 with iPhone 5 widescreen support and some new features like quests with randomly generated 3D/Wizardry-type dungeons.

If you haven't been on since before May 24th, they're offering five of the cash money tickets and if you enter an invitation code like mine, AJ13748, we can both get good stuff.

There's a small contingent of goons on mobile messaging who would love to have more goons to chat with and trade and help out.

Did they ever get the duping and hacking under control? When I quit the Colosseum Ticket generating bugs, hacked cards with impossible to beat stats (the "God Slime" being a popular one) and mass duped 5* Aces had pretty much ruined the game.
