There's one here but in my experience the game is broken and doesn't show most of the people that you have added, I couldn't ever get five people to shoe up to do the competition despite having a bunch added on G+.

Any goons still playing Marvel Contest of Champions? I picked it back up the other day. I had only gotten to level 8 before, but I got Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 when it re-released the other day and I've been in a Marvel mood.

I've been lately having a blast with Tracky Train.

It's one of those games you control ala Snake a track layer and have to provide a route for your train to go around picking passengers and leaving them in stations. The graphics are cute, the sound design is fun and aside from the occasional lag, it honestly works well. There's currency in game and that's to buy more carriages and trains as the game follows. Adverts are for in case you don't wanna spend currency on two other tries (100 and 200 respectively on a run), and at some point you're getting so much currency that you're fine either way paying 300 coins per trip and just want to see what else comes by. You can get it here.

Also, they recently updated that aquarium game so it no longer locks up on the opening at times, so in case you wanna give a shot at one of the better incremental based games, give it a shot now!

This is fun. It's currently scratching the crossy road / pacman 256 itch.

I'm thinking that the list was that of everyone who had added their phone with the 'add another device' button. I picked the one that matched mine the closest, which was LG G4 - P1. I have no idea what the gently caress the P1 is for, but I picked it.

Anyone playing Score! Hero? It's basically a soccer puzzle game where you have to pass and shoot your way to victory. It's pretty fun, though there are some odd difficulty walls that I get stuck at after breezing through 10 levels before. Currently stuck on 155. Also gives me an appreciation for soccer players.

I've had a great time with this game so far. I don't find the difficulty to be THAT bad so far, but admittedly, I'm not very far into things. At least they give you the option of watching a quick ad for more stamina, which I don't mind...

I don't know if anyone else is playing this, but it's pretty interesting so far. It's kind of a weird hybrid of KHUX and Record Keeper, but set in a post-apocalyptic (?) setting.

I can probably write more up later, still digging into it.

e: It also has a zodiac board system ala FF12, with multiple different job options, which could be interesting for multiplayer play.

I saw it was a thing and downloaded it and downloaded the data pack but then it said it unlocks at 8:00 PST or something despite it being after 8:00 PST and then I had to go to work

Is it gatchapon-based advancement? I might play the poo poo out of this if gatchapon grinding isn't the primary powerup mechanic.

There is gachapon, but I'm not entirely convinced that its be-all end-all to being successful at the game. I haven't pulled yet, however, so I don't know.

e: They do have a 3000 Magicite (IAP currency) thing for 18.99 USD which gets you double skillseed (zodiac board points) for a month on top of a bunch of tickets, elixirs, and other goodies.

I've had pretty good luck with iPega controllers. I think I used a 9017 and a 9025. I only got the 9025 because I broke the clip on the other one. It was my fault, not the controllers.

Yeah, I'm really impressed with it. It's a really nice, professional looking game and there's a good breadth of match types and content to unlock. I also like how the "boss opponents" (for lack of a better term) have their own tells that you have to learn in order to beat them.

I wish there wasn't a stamina system though, but it hasn't become too annoying yet.

I think you need to beat the first (tutorial) boss to get access to the main menu and the sound options.

i just installed that new ff game it also has dumb tutorials! so many games do the exact same hand-holding "you can only press this one button" crap, it's gotten to the point where sometimes my brain goes into autopilot and i just mash whatever thing they put in a shiny silhouette until it's done. of course this means that i miss the one or two little quirks of the game's barely-unique gacha system and i have to go look stuff up anyway. i almost don't even download games with that progression system anymore :sigh:

Sentinels of the Multiverse, a cool board/card game where you play as a team of superheroes fighting a supervillian, updated their app version today to support phones (previously, it only supported tablets). I haven't played the phone version yet, but they claim to have put a lot of work in optimizing it for smaller screens with new features rather than just scaling it down. In celebration of the release of the phone app, it is on sale today for 70% off! ($2.99 instead of $9.99)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.handelabra.Sentinels&hl=en

The physical version is a ton of fun too if you have some people to play with. Each hero is it's own deck of cards so they all play very differently and no game is quite the same.

I want to click 'buy' but I also don't want it to just charge me, in case it's a 'not free in Canada' sort of deal, or they just haven't updated the actual button to say 'free' yet. It's in the 'Top Free Apps' section, though... with the price right next to it.

It was free for me yesterday (in Canada), but it might've rolled back to the original price at midnight.

I think those Mobage jerks handled the Android port and it went to bit hell along with the original version of Tiny Tower.

Nimblebit devs have posted in this thread saying they're keeping an eye on how well the Tiny Tower Anniversary Edition goes to decide to bring back Planes and the other games that fell into the Mobage Bit Bucket.

Apart from trying to learn the opponent's tells, you could try mixing up your repertoire. Some of the moves you unlock seem to be more effective against different fencing styles, and you end up getting some really useful ones like a block/parry that's immediately followed by a counterattack. Too bad you can't mix and match individual moves though.

I picked up Sentinels of the Multiverse the other day when it was posted. It's actually pretty fun although it took a hot minute for me to really figure out how my team worked together. Some of them I just haven't figured out how to use effectively either but I really liked it. Kind of tempted to pick up the real version now but I have so many deck building style games as is.
