Been playing a neat idle/ city builder game.

Idle town.

I wanted to like this but upgrading each building individually and the constant "WATCH AN ADVERT FOR FREE GEMS" popups that stop you interacting with anything till you close the box are frustrating.

This is annoying but a minor inconvenience.
Especially since you don't NEED the gems to play.

There's a new Walking Dead game coming out just in time for Halloween called The Walking Dead: No Man's Land, a turn-based tactics game based on the TV show universe. It officially comes out this Thursday but the Play Store let me download it anyway so I guess its already (unintentionally) out early in some regions.

Neat, this looks like at least maybe 20% the game i wanted to play while watching the show lately.

It's a really simplified XCOM with zombies but the game seems pretty cool so far.

in pretty much every respect, Fallout Shelter is "almost good"

And I can see this, because overall, the amount of polish and brand usage is great. I mean, if there was some sort of actual game here, it'd be awesome.

I just really want to go out to the wasteland, myself, and bring poo poo back for my people. THAT's the game I want to play. Bethesda, I would pay for this!

The worst part is it is built like an idle game.. but you have to leave it run.. so it's slow and boring as hellm

I've been playing Idle Town for a while and the gems are definitely necessary to make progress long term. The thing is, though, that the game pays out in free gems every time you do a city reset. As far as I can tell this mechanic is integral to playing the game. I usually make 10,000 to 30,000 gems per reset at this point, and the game still offers to show me a video ad for like 60 gems all the time.

To clarify you don't Need to buy/use the ad gems for the game.

I would recommend all the other Kairosoft games as a start, they are all same-y and if you enjoy one you will probably enjoy them all

FYI in Fallout Shelter if you run into an invincible enemy, just leave the room, it usually fixes them when they move to another room.

Also if you don't have any rooms touching horizontally or vertically there is no way for monsters that dig, to go between rooms and they'll just vanish on their own.

In my sordid tale, I did say I tried to get my guys to leave the room, go other places, but they wouldn't leave if I was CAPABLE of drag-reallocating them, or, the game was just ignoring my long presses, and I wouldn't be able to highlight a guy.

Snuffles was my slave name.
You shall now call me Snowball; because my fur is pretty and white.
I found this pretty novel take on a match 3 game - Wedding Escape.

Rather than physically moving tiles to make matches you select them and they swap colour which creates the match. You have a limited number of moves each level to match a certain number of tiles but the difference is that in each move you can select multiple adjacent tiles to swap their colours so the way to win and earn big points is to swipe multiple tiles and create big chain reactions. It took me a few plays to get my head around the idea but now that I've got the hang of it it's really fun and a good game to play for a few minutes when I'm on the train or whatever.

"Something witty."
Nintendo's first non-Pokemon smartphone game with DeNA will be called Miitomo. It involves Miis communicating with each other "without your knowledge", and a lot of people are being reminded of Tomodachi Life on the 3DS.







Contrary to earlier reports it won't be out this year but rather March 2016. The Miitomo game will be F2P but apparently the other unannounced Nintendo/DeNA games coming out will be paid games.

Android ports of late 90s games Sanitarium and Tomb Raider II are out on the Play Store. Also out is Koi, a pretty, serene game where you play as a goldfish.
