Sorry if it's already been mentioned but a co-worker told me about 7x7 today at lunch and uh...It's horribly addictive. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.kiip.skeemo Worth a download, I think.

Pocket Knight stuff, so skip if you don't care. 1. What techs in Magic House should I prioritize? 2. I just hit the wall in elite dungeons; Dessert elite boss owned my face even with a powerful friend helping me. I have Rhee, Master Wu, Grendia, and Agrila. Who should I be looking to replace first? 3. Fortifying gear question: do you try to max out one piece at a time or do you spread the love? 4. Going back to max out tower levels, I must be doing it wrong 'cause the level just keeps going unless I quit out of it. What am I doing wrong?

But replace grendia with nexara when you can. 3) with pearls I split the love. First get everything to level 20 then 40. With the blacksmith a focus on a single weapon for my strongest character. 4) beating level 5 is the highest a tower floor goes. After that you can grind for stuff, but you no longer get a Star chest for getting to the end.

Is there a Match-3 type or even just a simple puzzler I can play for a few minutes while having a smoke break at work or having a smoke break while making GBS threads that doesn't have any kind of eventual bullshit like, say, Candy Crush? I recently tried out Bag It and it's more fun than I expected and 7x7 as mentioned above seems promising, but I'd really like something like 1000000 or Puzzle Quest where I feel like I'm building towards something and not just mindlessly playing Bejeweled. PAD is horribly draining on my battery and seems to involve a lot more metagaming than I'd like. Puzzle Quest would actually be perfect if it didn't take so long to actually get into a game.

The original puzzle quest was an incredibly fun game. Lots of fun combination of skill and lots of different puzzles but it wasn't too overbearing. The beginning is a little tougher than most of the game though. You will being yelling "loving cheating spider!" A few times before your character finally starts picking up. Puzzle quest 2 is a little annoying with its puzzle. Do you want to search a room for treasure and enemies? Puzzle. Want to fight? Puzzle. What prizes are you getting from that fight? Puzzle. Oh no a trap! Do another puzzle. After 3-6 puzzles per room and dozen of rooms per floor and dozens of floors, I got so loving sick of bejeweled.

Try Puzzle Craft. It has IAP but you won't need it. It's pretty tough to ever make the timer run down.

^^^ I have that too! Yeah it's a great game for spurts.Trastion posted:Why not play 1000000 since you mention that? I got kind of bored with it after a while. Like Shwqa said below Puzzle Quest 2 could get a little tedious too, but I liked that there was at least some strategy while I was playing. PAD is almost exactly what I want if only it didn't kill my battery and I didn't have to worry about dragon builds and what days to make sure to play to get bonuses and all that poo poo.

Tiny Death Star just updated, and it's kind of terrible. Not sure if anyone is still playing it, but I found the Star Wars theme amusing enough to look past the game continually trying its hardest to shove me down the IAP route. Anyway, this update changed the imperial levels from something you tossed spare VIPs to every once in a while to end up with a big payout, into completely pointless wastes of time. Used to be you could use the free randomly appearing VIPs or spend 1000 credits a pop to build items and turn them in for a big reward (that was worth more than you'd spent to get it). But now you have to spend credits every time, and the VIPs have turned into fast forward buttons that make one item build instantly. But someone is an idiot at basic math. My current mission is to build 14 of an item that costs 1,585 credits per. The reward is 18,500 credits. Making that a final earning of negative 3,690 credits. Great job!

Doctor rear end in a top hat posted:Isn't that the point of the game? Doing puzzles? The non-puzzle parts of the game are total poo poo that were tacked on as an afterthought. Yeah but it gets to be too much. Puzzle quest 1 made really entertaining battles and the other puzzles where few and far between to shake things up. The 2nd game is just room after room of: First check the room, which starts a boring few minutes long bejewel puzzle. Then disarm traps which is another few boring minutes long bejewel puzzle. Then you finally get to a fight which is nice, but then you can't just enjoy your victory. You have to do another boring bejewel puzzle to see what your treasure is and how much gold you got. Repeat that forever unless you want to upgrade your stuff which was another boring puzzle. I beat puzzle quest 1 twice. I played 3 hours of puzzle quest 2, before never picking it up again.

Considering the s3 is probably the android phone with the most units out there right now, the developer is either dumb, there's a legitimate issue with the phone, or its just not available in your region.

It usually says it's not available in your region if you look on the internet version of the play store at least. Which this doesn't for US/T-mobile with S3 and N7-2013. So yeah, it's pretty dumb.

You'd think so, but seriously Puzzle Quest 2 was pretty goddamn terrible compared to the first one. I got PQ2 for DS for like $5 used at Gamestop and actually bothered to return it, that's how boring it was. And for some reason I can't understand only 2 is on the Play Store, which is especially stupid since I had the original PQ on a dumb flip-phone 4 years ago. Anyway, Steve Jackson games needs to step the gently caress up and start releasing the Sorcery! gamebooks on Android. The first one has been on iOS for almost a year, and was supposed to be on Android by the end of last year. How hard can it be to port gamebooks? I mean, I know these gamebooks are of a much higher quality than stuff like the Lone Wolf android ports, but still.

Although I never played the original Puzzle Quest, I did play a lot of PQ2 (mainly for work, but also for fun) and I rather liked the crafting elements, a few of the minigames, the variety of the enemies, and how differently the classes played. There was certainly a lot that could have been streamlined, such as how technically and mechanically clunky the quest system was, but it's a pretty solid game.

We were talking about final fantasy 3 for the android. I decided to quote the guy that just finished the lets play of it. Here is his/her final summary Cool Ghost posted:Honestly, though, the game does have a basic level of competence to it. It never completely poo poo the bed and stopped working while I played it, and while a lot of the environments are kind of bland, I think the visual design is pretty nice overall. There are even some nice little touches, like the different designs and characteristic outfit elements for each kid and the fact that your overworld model changes when you change jobs. The early part of the game is even pretty fun to play, I think, and it's not until around Saronia that things really start to slow down and turn into a slog.

No matter how many new games I try to get into, Dungeon Raid always sucks me back in. I ignored it for a while because the OP was so old, I figured there were new games better than it, but I finally picked it up a few months ago and there's nothing else like it. Puzzle Craft was fun too, but Dungeon Raid has that leveling and upgrading feel that I can't pull away from.

The game that pulled me away from Dungeon Raid is Dungelot: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rws.dungelotFull&hl=en It seems simple as you start out, but gets really hairy as you try to get further and further each time. The mechanics look kind of like Minesweeper at first, but it's kind of more about knowing when to attack what, and whether to press your luck for better rewards or just exit the level.

I like that it eventually "ends" - everyone thinks well of 10000000, and that game has an actual literal ending. Sometimes I'd rather I finish a game than burn out on it.

I've caught the Winter Olympics bug so I've been compelled to check out the Play Store for an SSX-style arcade snowboarding game. There's actually a couple of them out there but most of them suffer from lovely presentation and/or terrible controls. I feel the best of the lot is is probably SummitX Snowboarding. It's got some nice graphics and a control scheme that I think actually works reasonably well, but it still feels kind of slapped together. Honorable mentions go to Crazy Snowboard and APO Snow, which are both decent but feel off in their own ways. Also none of them appear to have a race mode What's annoying is that there actually is an official SSX game out for Android, based on the last game. Alas, in EA's great wisdom its an exclusive for two new Xperia phones. Lame. mrkillboy fucked around with this message at 17:46 on Feb 8, 2014 |

There are accusations flying around that he basically stole the game. Since the "game" is poo poo and barely even a game, it's hard to say whether you could count it as stolen, copied, or whatever.
