MAXIMUM CAR is a new pixelated 3D racer that plays a lot like Burnout. Its pretty fun, though it gets a bit silly at times (the game doesn't take itself very seriously).

edit: Protip: turn off the announcer in the settings

I'm having a good time with this! I haven't liked driving stuff in the past but the controls are good in this. I often run out of race tokens so I have to watch an ad to get more but that seems like you could do it endlessly. Also you can just pay to get unlimited races so that's cool too.

This War of Mine is on sale again for $4 (down from $15). In addition, the game has been updated to add The Little Ones DLC (which costs $3 I think) which makes the already depressing game even more depressing by adding kids into the mix.

In other news, for anyone who listens to the No Such Thing As a Fish podcast, the Qiktionary word game they keep shilling on it is now out for Android.

It plays just fine on a phone but IMO the dedicated phone interface can get a bit cluttered. It works better on a tablet, which uses the PC interface (smaller icons etc).

Hey, anyone with an LG G4 (or a lesser phone) that has played Spacechem? How does it handle on phones? I realize it's more of a tablet-type game, but I don't have one.

I'm familiar with the game, and while I haven't played a lot of it on Steam, it's like the perfect game that I'd play here and there, on the go.

I remember way back when it first came out on mobile that people were saying its not worth it to get it on a phone. It's very much a tablet game.

The UI doesn't really scale well to a phone, I wouldn't recommend it. Also, to be honest, I found it extremely tedious without all the keyboard shortcuts to change tool and such.

Ok, thanks, both you and Nalin, for the thoughts on that. Guess I'll skip it.

I've got about $6 CAD in my google play wallet and am looking for something good. Is the Beta for Don't Starve any good? I've played the Steam version, so I know the game, but haven't gotten really far in it. Same situation as Spacechem, really.

Dungeon warfare is really good. It's $3.99 USD. Not sure what that is in geese and whisky. No IAP.

Ignore the stupid meme description. It's really good. It's a 2D Orcs Must Die. There are a ton of traps and items, and almost too many levels. You earn XP from killing things, which turns into gems to upgrade traps etc. Beating some levels gets you runes, which you can activate to make a level more difficult that also acts as an XP modifier when you replay a level.

Traps range from the usual slow/AoE/shooting tower defense types to physics, minions, and more.

Only caveat is I don't know how it is on a phone. It's great on tablet though.

Buy this! It's really, really good.

Each map is like a puzzle where you find out the best layout to beat it. I typically struggle with the maps until I crack the code and figure out the strategy that works for the traps i have unlocked.

I wish it had an ultra slow mode so I could leave it on my desk all day and just watch it go

I'm playing on an S6 edge and it controls just fine
