Gladiabots is a new strategy game where you program robots with AI routines to take down other robots. Its still in alpha but the devs have put it up on the Play Store anyway for folks to check out.

Thanks! I like finding games that look interesting or cool and you guys might get a kick out of.

Anyway, a port of critically acclaimed adventure game Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is also out now. Weirdly, it doesn't seem to have controller support considering how the game is played.

I know i'm probably going to get punched for this, but are there any games that are basically clones of Gwent from Witcher 3? Googling seems to reveal a ton of interest but only one browser based attempt that was shut down by CDPR.

A new Independence Day movie means a new Independence Day mobile game tie in, from the developers of Zen Pinball of all people. It's in open beta right now, so you can sign up if you want to check it out before its release in a few weeks. Anyone familiar with games like Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes should have a good idea what to expect.

Also out, a port of the 1993 Square JRPG Romancing SaGa 2, which apparently has never received a Western release until now.

It cost $18 on my store screen. And I'm a big enough chump I'll probably buy it. That is because Romancing Saga 3 was probably my favorite game as a child but 1 and 2 had garbage fan translations. Romancing Saga 2 is supposedly the best saga game to ever come out.

And yes I did have all the game boy saga games and saga frontier while growing up.

Yeah they do, Dragon Quest games are 30-40% off right now because of the 30th anniversary, and they've had games for at least 50% off during Christmas sales in the past. I have a bunch of Square-Enix Android games and I haven't bought any of them at full price.

It was a fun game, until they vomited ads all over it. And there's not really been anything like it since. Maybe if they hadn't choked it with lovely ads they wouldn't have lost their playerbase. :sigh:

I'm not sure that is possible. I've been working with stuff like having an "if enemy exists" or "if shield depleted", and then another branch with the "if not" version. Use the little check/X to the left of the bottom-most variable.

That said, my last attempt at the neighbors stage had me wishing for a debugger. Stupid robots just stopped advancing and I couldn't find the logic problem.

There is one, though it's not super easy to follow on the fly (maybe I'm just bad). Touch a robot and a small representation of the AI will appear on the right side of the screen. Touch that representation, and it will blow up to fullscreen.

Oh my god, that link is golden.

My big takeaway: logic is processed left to right. So you can run your pile of if statements in a priority order, which changed everything for me.

The debug tool is also obvious now. Not sure how I missed it.

I realized that there's a slow-speed button :downs:, which made it much easier for me to follow the debugger. Having lots of fun with this now!




Some of the stuff is redundant, as I was still figuring out some of the filters and such. Part of the fun is to replay a stage, chopping as many instructions out as possible and still winning.

I was stuck for an hour on the Back To Back stage, then saw on the Glaiabots forum that there's an issue with the stage's layout that makes it impossible to complete :cripes:. It'll be fixed in the next alpha.
