Does anyone else constantly lose their session in Hunger Quest? If my screen turns off because I am away for 15 seconds, that session is done. But it doesn't tell me until I finish the level....

I fell in the shaft on top of a Dark Mage that was one block below my vision. He hit me for 2/3s of my HP, I couldn't escape or kill him, and took another hit. Oh well, no real penalty for dying at least.

at higher level play you pretty much stop with super big chains. Wait will you encounter the falling spike ceilings. Having to juggle monsters, item management and a time limit is insane.

What's a good, thinking man's game without any IAP or DLC or whatever that is playable on a phone screen, with a nice UI?

Hey how good is 80 Days? It'll be a while before I have enough survey bucks to buy it, but it might be next on my list. Remember when I posted about my wife getting caught answering the trap question incorrectly? Yeah, she's also been getting a ton of surveys and I haven't gotten any.

My wife and I were getting caught up on RuPaul's Drag Race and I got a survey asking if I was transgendered

I hope the question I got asking if I was of African descent wasn't another trap question. I answered "no" before remembering that technically we all are.

EvilElmo posted:I'm going to need a lot more questionnaires to buy either of them. Desktop Dungeons is on the short list of "best game on Android, period". I was an early adopter into the PC version, and it has become so much more and better than it started out as that it's quite crazy. I just wish the Android version were free to people who own it on Steam, or at least to people like me who "pre-ordered" it when it was being developed.

Also, Sproggiwood is fantastic but sometimes brutally hard. What am I missing with the floating goldfish with the blue beam between them? They obliterate me because instead of dying they just teleport a little ways away and come back at full health.

It's not as obtuse or as many layered but it's far more polished. There's 6(?) classes with 4 abilities each, and you really have to think about how to handle each mob as they're all slightly different. There's less just auto attacking without thinking and then oops out of depth monster/i should have been paying attention. You're pretty much always paying attention. There's less gear and you start over level wise each map, but you can unlock gear permanently which also effects your tactics. It's just a really great focused experience with fantastic art.

Some Zero posted:Jesus desktop dungeons is hard... Or I'm bad at video games XP is everything. You should always fight enemies at least a level above you for the XP boost. The game is designed around this mechanic. Also, check spells to see if they award extra XP and figure out how to exploit them to help farm XP. You'll never get your characters to level 10 just trading blows with enemies at your level.

Has anyone tried Heroes: A Grail Quest? On the face of it it looks like a fun little HoMM/King's Bounty clone, which is exactly something that I've been looking for on mobile, and since it's only a buck I'll probably give it a go regardless, but it'd be nice to hear if anyone has had any experiences with it.

Picked it up just now, played a few minutes. It plays like a very simple one-dollar knockoff of King's Bounty (the original). There's a lot of room for improvement QoL and UI-wise, the combat seems a bit too simple for my tastes, and the reviews are saying that it's too easy even on hard difficulty. But hey, it's a king's bounty clone on mobile, and I don't see anything majorly wrong with it gameplay wise. I'd consider that a dollar well spent. Edit: For those unfamiliar with the original King's Bounty (sometimes called Heroes of Might and Magic Zero), you should read the Let's Play done a few years back. Aside from being entertaining (he breaks the game pretty thoroughly) it's a look at the sort of exploration-focused tactical gameplay you'd find here and in the modern KB series. wall monitor fucked around with this message at 13:54 on Jun 1, 2015 |

Also, once you learn the game's tricks, you will usually finish off the boss as low as level 5/6 with a lot of unkilled enemies on the screen. It's a strategy game, not an RPG; XP doesn't carry over between dungeons after all, so your goal is to get in and get out, with sub-goals like "find rooms/solve puzzles in them to unlock gods/races/classes/items". One simple tip that should be obvious but some people overlook it: when you level up, you heal to full. Monsters don't heal at all when you level up. This should make finishing bosses off a lot easier.

So I posit that there is a category of games that a whole lot of people play, but no one admits to. Shameful Games, where you should know better, but it's just fun to poop and watch coins move, like in Coin Dozer, etc. My new Shameful Game is Topps Bunt, https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Topps&hl=en It's just logging in every day to get coins to buy baseball cards, but then, but THEN... you can trade them to people, for OTHER CARDS. Also there is a fantasy baseball aspect to it, you make a lineup and if your dudes do good that day you get more coins, for more cards, forever, until you uninstall shamefully. There's also a Star Wars version I guess, which is just collecting and trading without a game really attached to it. So who is going to be Shameful and collect baseball cards with me?

Just got a Google rewards survey about what I believe to be 6 fake businesses. Seems similar to the water park question, but you choose which businesses you have experience with from a list instead of just yes/no.

I hate this, it's like it (the machine) thinks I'm lying about my big salary, 6 digits or even more than that. Update: Just pressed yes or no on a survey and now I have 18 cents.

This may be shocking but the designers have may difficulty believing that someone making six figures is really sitting through a bunch of pain in the rear end obtrusive surveys for 18 cents. Of course, in real life, income often has little to do with the amount of spare time one's job affords them, but still. All this survey stuff is a pretty good example of the weird way gamers often perceive value. Do this many of you really want this much hassle so you can save what, $5 a year? That's assuming you only spend it on games you definitely would have bought out of pocket if you weren't getting surveys, which is kind of iffy in most cases. Do you also answer those phone surveys where they promise you a $5 Starbucks gift card? I mean, I'm not super blaming anyone, I do something like it in WoW where I pay my subscription in ingame gold that I earn by logging in daily for 10 minutes, even when I have no other reason to, which maths out to a bit under minimum wage.
