They did an amazing job with the port. Lots of extra content, a nearly perfect mobile UI, and the drat thing loads in half a breath. Neko Assume literally takes longer.

I'm still playing through it; the only downside I can think of is that it's still a bloody long game, the actual gameplay is still very nineties and it's easy to lose interest as the next shiny thing comes along

Yes I played BG1 EE on PC and it worked nicely. I'm prepared for the 90's gameplay, I was mostly worried about the port to tablets and how playable that was. Looks like it's no worse than any 90's game. I'll give it a shot then, thanks!

Mechanically, it works great. better interface then a mouse, I think. Game is still a 90's save before/after everything because you might get crited against by a spider and die.

I wish they would give fallout 1/2 this treatment.

Downwell is now available on Android:

Seems like it would be a nightmare to play on a phone, but I'll probably still give it a try.

The controls seem fine but if you have a tiny phone and/or huge hands I imagine it might feel quite cramped.

Avengers Academy is going to add dating in the near future. The problem is the current cast is Iron Man, Loki, Falcon, Thor, Cap, Hulk, Hawkeye Vision, and War Machine for dudges, and just Wasp, Black Widow and Spider-Woman for girls.

They're going to need to add some some more girl characters before dating can be effective.

It's basically Simpsons Tapped out or Family Guy Quest for Stuff but with Marvel characters. They're the closest I can get to a town building game.

This is mostly for the collecting and the writing. It's got a lot of neat stuff, but then I'm also a Marvel fanboy to the max so it appeals to me more than it would to others.

Some screenshot from the game




The writing is pretty amusing, and its one of those games you play for a few minutes, then come back an hour later. As i said, it's more about the collecting than any action.

It's still in beta so your level capped at 17, but there's content listed up to 50. And according to tinyCo they have plans for nearly 100 characters to be added. The nice thing is I haven't hit any serious paywall poo poo. Oh yea, if you want Vision or War Machine you have to pay, but you don't have to get them if you don't want. It has the normal skip this 8 hour task by spending currency, but I don't think anyone is so sprat to play the game so much that would be a reasonable thing to do.

I really don't understand people who do that. So what if you can only do 10 battles or 5 matches every 2 hours, take a break.

Punch Club is really addictive, like Kairosoft addictive. It's a bit slow going though, since your fighter's stats deteriorate each day so it often feels like you're making very little progress trying to level him up. The pop culture references are also really on the nose (the first two named NPCs you meet are a grizzled old trainer named Mickey and a convenience store clerk named Apu).

I've been playing it exclusively on my phone, and I haven't had any problems--well, except for the occasional issue using the 'hot key' items--the buttons are a little small and hard to hit in the heat of battle. Other than that, it's been great.

Okay yeah, Crashlands is strangely addictive. I feel cramped on my phone even though it's pretty big (Moto X Pure), but the game is more fun than I was expecting.

There is a crashlands thread. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3761793&pagenumber=4&perpage=40

But yeah the start of the bawg is the lowest point of fun in the game. The start of the third area is way more fun. The developer said they will look into it in the QOL patch.

And I'm not sure what you are referring to with the hoover thing. I think the game means your suit will collect all items automatically but that is always in effect.

The bawg had a quest to hoover up an outpost that requires you to go into build mode and remove the outpost. You mean this?

The update before the latest update glitched the fights menu on my LG G4. It's fixed now on my device but I can't help but think something else got broken, which is a little frustrating since I had no issues with the initial release.

Since the most recent patch its connecting me with google play so maybe now? Also bunch of new characters were added, but are still locked because we cannot progress past level 17. They're Taskmaster, Maria Hill and Ant-Man ( I assume Scott Lang because Hank Pym is a teacher).

The games has been pretty good on fremium bullshit, but it did go "hey recruit the hulk early! Only 1500 gems!" and to get 1500 gems you'd need to spend 100bux.

They tried to do subscription no-ads on a paid game, and I did not make that up.

The relative paucity of releases after that should give you a hint as to how they took the lessons from that experiment (hint: probably mostly the wrong way).

Sleep, rest, do your best.
I was lucky enough to unlock the USS Voyager in star trek timelines, because the monthly premium currency for five dollars gives you quite a few rolls worth. I can now win space battles on elite at three star efficiency through episode four. This game isn't really free to play, though. I can't see getting past episode three without dropping five bucks for the monthly crystals. At least the price of premium currency is low compared to a lot of other gacha type games, for ten bucks you have more than enough for a ten roll.

In that bleach game that's like rune story, you'd need to spend twenty for a ten roll, which is crazy.
