I'm not sure how many of you are huge nerds like me, but I'm super into Tiny Death Star. They released a new patch today with 36 new levels. I was able to buy a few with coins but then I stumbled into the store screen (NOT the build new level screen) and found each level could be bought for 1 buck a piece. On the store screen they're 45 bucks per level. I assume they'll patch this out eventually but for the meantime why not exploit it?

porktree posted:I hate editing my deck - I wish there was a clear deck button, and I wish the app was more touch sensitive. But it is a pretty fun game. Speaking of which, Quarriors is fun, but I am kinda glad I picked it up for free; the base game doesn't seem to have enough content to make playing against the AI too much fun, and the online multiplayer doesn't seem very good either. It's probably more of a multiple-person game, for sure.

Which was a shame because from an animation and presentation standpoint it was one of my favorites. I know some good rogue likes are out there but I personally cannot stand games where a static image kinda slides around without animation...(such as walking or attacking..)

So in pocket mine, where do I get the cards for the factory ingredients? I have tons of common cards in my general deck, but the number is zero. Redeeming a artefact set just gives me another card and doesn't change this number and there's no recipe for a common card. What gives?

You have to use the factory to make a blank card.

TACD posted:This is neat but why would they use that hatched shading for the German flag necessitating a footnote explaining it when they could have just used the same yellow found elsewhere in the same infographic? OCD rant over, as you were. Because they are color-highlighting China and not any other country.  The comments about that graphic were also about China. That and there are more countries with that kind of flag structure so making it monochrome needed a footnote.

My one gripe with Hoplite, and I know I'm a month late here, is that there isn't a "currently being aimed at" tile indicator. I figure it out every turn anyway. I know how simple it is but it would still improve the speed of play to make it more action-y. Even make it an early Prayer, I don't care. It is a great game though.

Well if you do pay attention to it then you're either clicking on each enemy every turn to get the same info or you're imagining it, so where's the difference?

It's too bad the game doesn't highlight all the safe squares you can move to huh? Seriously though, every monster has a consistent attack range - if you get familiar enough with them you don't need tap to check.

Thirst Mutilator posted:It's too bad the game doesn't highlight all the safe squares you can move to huh? The game's difficulty doesn't rely on accidentally getting shot. There would still be good moves and bad moves if it did highlight safe squares. Even then that's not what I said. The game already gives you this information. It would just be nice if you could get it all at once.

bobfather posted:The classic case for this is the infamous 100 Rogues. A game that went through incarnations that ranged from "completely broken" to "workable" to "fixed, but with crazy levels of IAP". Whoa wait they fixed 100 Rogues? I need to check that again. Last version I checked was the dinoman one, which was super broken at the time. Both in game balance terms (bugs made him invincible) and the game crashing constantly for me. Still looking forward to Auro. Though kind of funny that between it being announced and now, there's a growing selection of decent "super-efficient roguelikes" on the store out already. Could always use another one in that genre.

tuyop posted:I have to five star my most worthless cards. Loads of the Commons are actually really really good at 5*. Crate Radar and Bullet Time I would always Hold at the start. All the "More" cards for Ore types can be amazing when combined with others (Diamond Galore plus More Diamonds plus Rigged Diamonds? The screen is now diamonds). I actually find I Hold a lot more Commons than Blue or Greens. I mean obviously Gold are the best, but stuff like Dark Pact is way worse than most Commons.

MissMarple posted:More Treasure is the most value card. Combined with Artefacts and anything depth increasing (Drills, Arrow Explosives, Healing) it's just the most amazing run you can do. Are the tickets a one-time deal or do they unlock the new area forever? Is it just me or are the acid caves super lovely?

You have to go super explosive to make progress (Bombs, Grenades, Arrows) and really it's just a way to get more exp/money out of a shorter run, so it's good if you don't have time to use all your stamina I guess?

999's out for $4.99. Haven't played it but the guys in the 3ds thread seem to recommend it. From the previews it seems the difference between this and the 3ds version is the puzzles were removed and it's now pretty much a straight up visual novel. Iphone Ipad Also it's not universal for some reason.

First Strike is addictive, but the globe interface is annoying. A flat map option would be nice. And there is a special place in hell for people who make tutorial text "type" itself out slowly and unskippably.

A lot of the more recent Kemco RPGs are on sale for $1.99 each in case anyone was looking to pick up one of those. They're essentially just RPG Maker games, but they're not too bad if you're itching for some JPRG grinding on the go. http://appshopper.com/search/?searchdev=314755636&sort=name&dir=asc JazzFlight fucked around with this message at 12:25 on Mar 17, 2014 |

My recommendation, if you're going to read this, is play through each section, and then after you pass a part that had a puzzle that was bypassed, read the corresponding 999 Let's Play over here to see what you missed. http://lparchive.org/title/999

Darklings is a nice, free little game. You draw monster symbols to kill adorable dark monsters in a forest. It's got a beautiful style and it's perfect for the ipad mini.

I really have no idea why they decided to do this for 999. I mean, the iPhone/iPad is the perfect format, since the DS also had a touch interface. If they were worried that the puzzles wouldn't appeal to the iOS audience, just provide the option to skip them. I read a few impressions on the TA forums, and apparently it's very obvious and awkward when you're skipping a puzzle sequence. The puzzles were so good, too

They probably couldn't get it to work right. I mean, didn't they release a psp port of Zero Escapes where the 3ds version had a save corrupting bug at a certain area and their solution to it for the psp port was to just not let you save at that area.

I was under the impression that the bug was exclusive to the DS version, and it worked fine on the PSP. It was advised to never save during puzzle sequences, but that was a player recommendation thing, not enforced by the game itself. I just want a port of 999 with VLR's ability to skip around instead of fast-forwarding though previously-viewed content, is that so wrong?
