The Flying Milton posted:I've been playing a JRPG/Puzzle hybrid that just came out a few days ago. Oh hey, it finally came out. There's a Boatmurdered reference in the game. That's novel. It's pretty fun. It's no Union Attack, but still pretty fun. A little annoying that it costs star blocks to start with items equipped.

I don't know if any of you guys playing Out There bought it on the humble store in beta like i did, but if so the soundtrack is a worthy download. I always play with my phone muted so i never even noticed it was good.

that depends on whether you mean interactive fiction or Interactive Fiction. The capitalized genre of computer games (that started with commercial adventures like zork but is largely an experimental hobbyist scene now) encompasses text-based CYOA but also many other things that could not be considered CYOA by any reasonable standard.

Discount Dracula posted:Similarly can anyone suggest a good offline (no IAP) Texas Hold'em game and/or a good casino variety game? I have seen a number of requests in this thread, but no responses. It's a surprisingly difficult genre to find games for. It's because you really cannot play poker without 1: human opponents to outwit and 2: money on the line. The cards aren't even half the game; the real game is learning to read and outplay other people, which is impossible when you're playing cpu opponents who will bet or fold pretty much randomly. Even if you're playing online, without money involved its not really poker, but a game I like to call "gently caress it, I'll call." Without people worried about losing something of value, there's no way to get away with bluffing, and no punishment for making bad calls.

Okay, having played more of Adventure Time Card Wars. I'd highly reccomend not buying it. Not only is it a paid game with IAP, the IAP is really really awful. Unlike almost every other IAP game out there, you don't get premium gems for just advancing, but for completing challenge matches. However, a lot of the challenge matches are for challenges like "Complete a match using only creatures of 1 color" which quickly becomes impossible with the default card limit of 50 because you just can't hold that many. You can buy more space of course, but with how rare gems are, you quickly run out and have to sacrifice any chance at a rare creature pull, which is all but necessary about a couple hours into the game. The core gameplay is solid, but really the IAP in this game is probably one of the more blatant and ugly attempts to get you pay more money for a game you already bought, and really ruins it. Edit: Also the deck editor is super lovely. Even the sorting function doesn't work. Thundercracker fucked around with this message at 16:25 on Mar 12, 2014 |

Sorting works on my game. And yeah, I find that if you don't spend RL money on buying gems you need to put 90% of the ones you earn into extending inventory. I'm at 120 cards now, with maybe 2/3 of the game completed. Even though it has these issues I think its the best card game on android.

My biggest complaint is when you're not in combat, it's timed, and when you are in combat it goes by turn, so as soon as you get out of combat you're frantically tapping things trying to get XP and end up burning your first combat turn since it comes in unannounced.

Izno posted:Does anyone have a good Tower Defense game to recommend? I've been playing Bloons TD 5 which I love but I'm looking to maybe check out something new Radiant Defense is great, if nearly impossible without spending a buck on premium tower (buy the flamethrower). Beautiful graphics, los of decisions/options. I'm playing through it now without the premium towers and it's very very hard. The towers & mobs do not work the same on any given play of the level, resulting in sometimes replaying a level with no changes repeatedly in order to get the best pattern. Jelly defense is fun. It requires you collect coins during levels, so it's less passive than some. It's easier than many, but getting 10/10 on every level is tough. I think I got it as the Amazon free app of the day, it's probably worth the $3. My biggest complaint about it is the loading time. Kingdom Rush & Castle TD are basically the same game. Both are fun. - castle has an arena that has a nice variety. Both are beatable without spending $.

Oh God. I like to download an app and play it for a bit to see if I'd like to keep it around using the 15-min refund window. ...I've been playing Threes! for the past hour and didn't even realize it was that long. I think I'm hooked. Is there an actual end to this game?

Okay, since the thread is hyped about threes, I thought I'd give a quick break down of some clones/games with similar mechanics. Fives - Was mentioned a lot in this thread. Threes with fives. Eights - Pretty much another straight up clone of Threes but with two additional game modes. 1024 - This one plays a little bit differently and really is a nice game on its own. Honourable mention 2048 - it's not a mobile game, and it's a clone of 1024, but that's what got me interested in 'threeslikes' in the first place.

Anyone know what the "conserve battery" toggle in Three's option menu do? I'm just curious. Also I see a lot of people in the store reviews complaining about ART support again. This is going to be a trend.

I didn't realize how annoying my own game was until he placed them and I just can't beat any of them. I'll be e-mailing axe maniac to set up a goon only high score contest for a nice sized amazon gift card once apple approves the iOS version.

I think stat effects are bugged in Block Legend. I had a +7 vit armor and it didn't do anything. Likewise when I used the +100 atk item that gave you -10 to all stats, the stat downs didn't do anything either.

Does anyone else feel that Block Legend can get a little mindless at times? I really like the game but it just seems there isn't much challenge except for the bosses.
