I botched a Google survey. I fumbled my phone and I hit the wrong thing by accident on question 1 of 8, and it immediately gave me $0.18 and ended. Does it give you future surveys based on the answers to previous surveys?

Paper Monsters, R-Type (the first one) and Enviro-Bear 2010 got added to the current Humble Bundle. Personally, I haven't been too excited about this current bundle unfortunately. Also two of games from it (The Room Two and The Cave) are currently more than 50% off in the Play Store.

I haven't played it much yet, but that Shattered Planet roguelike seems very polished and fun with lots of cute monsters to kill and befriend. I'm waiting for the IAP paywall or whatever because it seems too good to be true so far.

Mine gets a lot more surveys too. She's earned about $8 and I've only earned $3. Maybe more men are aware of this app than women? Let this be a lesson, gentlemen: say you're female when you download this app and roll around in your bed full of credits.

Not sure how deckbuilding is going to hold up. Puzzles go straight to the thorny, difficult problems without any easier ones to warm up with - or if there are easier ones, the list is not in order of difficulty. Seems pretty neat.

What are some good games where it doesn't demand your full attention? For example something like 2048, turn based games, puzzle games, etc. I tend to play on my phone while watching tv or I'll play on phone while waiting for the bus and then get back to it a few hours later.

You don't have to pixel hunt for items either since there's a button that just highlights everything you can see that can be clicked on. Am I misremembering, or did the tab button do the exact same thing on the pc version? I've been playing shattered planet, and it's possible that there's something I'm missing, but it seems like the only strategy to getting very far is to grind up those triangles and crystals. The rooms are tiny and often filled with unavoidable enemies, and the only items I seem to find with any frequency are those unidentified fluids, but not in a large enough quantity for me to actually use any after I test them out on a crab.

I think that's the point of the game, to grind away in the relative safety of the first world so you can afford to level up and get good enough equipment to take on the harder levels. I also think its a bit annoying that the game doesn't remember what each color fluid does, especially when you're several levels in and low on health and you hope that red vial doesn't set you on fire.

Yep, this is pretty standard for roguelikes. If you search for Nethack FAQs, you can find entire guides to narrowing down and identifying potions and scrolls based on their prices in the shop, their effects, their frequency, etc.

Sorry guys been browsing the thread kind of hard to understand with all the phone jab and stuff. I really like clash of clans and pixeldungeon the rougelike game.

Well that's a bummer. The question was "Do you watch television programs at home?" I'm assuming that I hit No when I was trying not to drop the drat thing since it closed immediately. Guess I don't get any more TV questions!

Personally I think I got my moneys worth (4 USD) with Bag It! and The Room Two, which tided me over a long boring bus ride. And I haven't even touched The Cave yet. But of course it depends on how much entertainment you need to get out of your Android Gaming Dollar to make it worthwhile

I like using something that'll blow up entire tiles on the starting space, just to stop the blight from spreading in the early stages. Something like the Big Red Button, if I have any spare. It's tough to explore when you have no weapons, a lovely army helmet on your head and only a limited time until the entire map is spawning blighted crabs that move stupid fast and deal way too much damage. Also, I just got the briefcase at the end of the first Hard stage and teleported away, after trying to fight the thing at the end three or four times to no effect. I wish this game loaded a little faster, it's such a great wait-for-a-metro/bathroom/timekiller little thing.

losonti tokash posted:You don't have to pixel hunt for items either since there's a button that just highlights everything you can see that can be clicked on. Hot drat, that's amazing. Honestly, pixel-hunting for "hidden" items on the large wilderness areas was the worst. I know they never put any quest items there, those were always clearly on a dead body or well-seen chest, but I remember there are some powerful magic items you can find*, but it was a slog if you didn't use a guide. Although this way is almost too easy...but I guess with a smaller screen you don't see as much area at once, so it's still a half-slog in that you have to aimlessly walk around until you explore that whole area. I might have to get this for my Nexus 7. I was debating getting the Steam version, but it's hard because I literally got Baldur's Gate 1 from GoG (and then downloaded and installed all the "right" mods for it) literally a month before Baldur's Gate: EE was announced. Though it still wasn't released for several months after that, there is that sting of buying the same game twice in, like, a year and a half. So I guess it makes sense to get the mobile version, since EE is, in some ways, the original version with all those mods IO installed. *Isn't there some powerful ring (for wizards?) you can get literally, like, two minutes after leaving the tutorial area (Candlekeep,) hidden on some tree?

DrBouvenstein posted:*Isn't there some powerful ring (for wizards?) you can get literally, like, two minutes after leaving the tutorial area (Candlekeep,) hidden on some tree? That (like the other bullshit pixel-hunt caches) was actually there for debugging. The developers put a bunch of random item caches around so that, when they needed to use an item for testing (for example, to see if the Ring of Wizardry works correctly with buffs and debuffs and the like), they could put it in one of those caches and easily get it from a fresh save. They forgot to clear them all out before shipping the game, so people found them containing whatever a developer last put in them during debugging. Some of those items are more useful than others.

I have BG I and II on PC and haven't played them for ages. I always end up quitting after 1h of trying to replay them. BG on a mobile device is whole different story though. I can't really explain why but it's so much more enjoyable because they did a great job porting it. I think it's because I can't immerse myself in long PC playing sessions anymore (unless for new games) and surprisingly BG is perfect for short mobile sessions too.

Does it take long to figure everything out past the tutorial? It froze on my first go around and didn't save anything, so I restarted and have only made it to the Cleric introduction in the tutorial, but it already seems like a lot of information to take in.

I guess it depends if you played the original? If not, considering the length of the game, spending a few minutes in the tutorial isn't a bad idea. But I completely skipped the tutorial, only took a few minutes to remember how the interface works, how to hide and steal with thiefs, how to select and cast spells, how to select AI scripts etc. I guess you could still figure these things on the go checking on the net.

I tried to play BG years ago and died over and over again to the enemy in the first town that you go to after the starting area, outside the inn. He was some kind of ridiculous wizard guy who would fireball the poo poo out of me. And then I quit. Is this still a thing?

Even more in the 2nd. A basic understanding of the combat rules is clearly not superfluous. Also being level 1 is hard since you have so few HP, it gets a bit easier when leveling up. edit: I think there's a difficulty slider though.

Also, my freeze came from starting the game, getting into the tutorial, then having to close the cover of my Nexus 7 and coming back. It was stuck on a black screen but I could bring up my Back and Home buttons and everything. I had to force-close it and restart from scratch. Do I have to save and quit every time I want to put it down?

They're still there in EE. People look on them more as easter eggs than bugs at this point - especially since they're completely ignorable if you'd rather play without them. Additionally, the license the EE guys got to the games doesn't let them change any of the existing content (just allows them to add new stuff), taking out those caches would still be a dubious proposition legally even if they called it a bugfix.
