So are there any good DATA-less match (match-3 or otherwise) games out there?

Most of these are in the OP, but the games that I play most on mobile are:

Ridiculous Fishing
Sproggiwood (recently)
Hoplite
Shadowrun Returns/Dragonfall
Kairosoft games -- most recently Ninja Village, Dungeon Village is my favorite with honorable mention to Game Dev Story
80 Days

The first two are casual games, the third = great rpgs, the 4th fun simple sims and the last is a really cool story based game.

If you want a v unique game experience for long commutes or what have you, go for King of Dragon Pass.

You Must Build A Boat is so good, holy poo poo. The new features are really good, and there's something really sweet about hitting a 5-in-a-row match with multiple multiplier blocks involved. :getin:

Perfect, just the kind of game I wanted (if it doesn't use data to connect)! I'm more hunting for turn-based ones, but I did really like 100000000, so this'll work just fine.

Lots of people basically said they would rather pay the dude (since it took, what, three years?), plus there's the issues with doing temporary/one-time freebies on Play Store, so it's an opt-in sort of thing.

He's been telling people that asked him about it to email a receipt/proof of purchase to luca.promo@eightyeightgames.com and you'll get sorted out.

Hopefully that carries onto steam, because I bought 100000000 on steam, and just bought You Must Build a Boat for the android. If he does give out free copies, I wouldn't mind a copy of a game I already bought on steam. :buddy:

Yeah, if you've got your Steam receipt for 10m, send it to that address and he'll get you hooked up with a steam copy of YMBAB.

It's a great game, but it also still hasn't been updated to work with Lollipop, which is garbage because I have a save over halfway through that I can't continue just sitting there taunting me.

e: GODDAMN the game works just fine I'm an idiot, just had to reinstall it. It crashed on startup exactly like games that didn't run on Lollipop until they were patched so I just automatically assumed it's the same thing.

e2: welp it ran once and then starts crashing again just like before. Clearing data makes it run and download the data again. After exiting it starts crashing again. gently caress you, data.

I never stopped to count the zeroes so I always just type a 1 and then a rough number of 0s. Out loud though I called it "a hundred million" too, has a better ring to it than "ten million".

I hope the guy is successful, it takes balls to name your best game "You Must Build a Boat"

I think the biggest change from 10m to YMBAB is the fact that you can move tiles during chains/cascades. That alone has made this a thousand times more fun and fast-paced.

Also upgrading is way more imperative in this than it was in 10m because goddamn do things hit hard and take a beating.

Can you "save up" at least attacks for future monsters in Boat Builder? Nothing annoyed me more in 10m than unlocking a door for instance, only to get a bunch of sword/wand tiles to drop and instantly get used up on nothing, leaving me with no way to fight the monster sitting right behind the door.

This is actually a really good way of doing it because I'm not going to bother bothering him for my free copy when I can just get it for 3.50 euros instantly and 10M was so good he deserves it anyway.

Nah, it's intentional. I think the dev mentioned somewhere that it was a coding limitation for 10m and he found a workaround in YMBAB?

Either way, goddamn, best $3 of survey money ever spent.

Yeah I figured it out. It was an Amazon Free App and that's how I got it. I constantly uninstall Amazon App Store so I completely forgot about it.

I seem to recall something about a 100000000 save file being ported over to YMBAB or something? Was that ever a thing or was that just speculation? I just need someone to assuage my 'completionist OCD' and to tell me to not bother reinstalling 1000000 and beating it before I play YMBAB.

I'm on like... the sixth stage? and haven't seen any indication of a bonus for having a completed 10m savefile.

picked up another one of those pocket knights/crusaders quest type games, Historia. It's got a bunch of mythical dudes in it like Don Quixote and the Green Knight. Paywall doesnt seem too bad as the give you random guaranteed S-grade heroes through the campaign. I've used a lot of gold though and only managed to get two A-class so maybe spend on something else or wait for an event thing

I started playing this too. It's alright, and I don't really feel any pressure to buy premium currency, though I may eventually if I keep playing it. My only complaint is that the story is terrible and man oh man this game makes me appreciate silent protagonists. The player's character speaks (as in has lines, not like they're voiced), and their personality is just awful. Luckily this game lets you just skip story segments, so it isn't a big issue.

I've played it for a while. I haven't gotten super far, but I do enjoy the puzzling in it. I find it takes a bit more focus than a lot of the match 3-ish games out there, which is a nice change of pace.
