I think there was an older post asking this (couldn't find it again sadly, my bad...) but is there a good app to track down and help alleviate battery drainage? Ever since I started mostly playing apps during the day like Gumball and Tap Titans etc, I notice my phone's battery doesn't last for more than 24 hours unless I don't forget to charge it every night... It's troubling when some days it just dies and my morning alarm doesn't ring. :(
I still use BetterBatteryStats from xda, although you'll need to use adb to give it the correct permission without root.

The eternal android version is quite good; it's a mildly different take on hearthstone but I found it more fun to get into. Only problem with it is editing decks kind of lags on my roughly a year old v10, but other then that mild annoyance game owns.

Here's an odd duck of a game that I'm not sure what to think of, but I keep loading it from time to time:

Qurius is a surprisingly charming little village-builder game (not in the vein of SimCity clones, mind you) with an interesting little gimmick: the currencies you use to do stuff are based on local weather patterns. If you have a bunch of Sun Flowers, they'll eventually bloom (and give you sun currency), the same with Snow/Cloud/Rain/etc flowers. Creatures have alignments to certain weather patterns too; a cloud-aligned creature searches the red-tinted areas (for plants, trees, some story bits) faster when it's cloudy, for example. You can also find trees that let you harvest currencies from other players and their local weather. All of these are gained from falling stars, either by watching ads or the aforementioned searching.

It's still in beta and it's not the kind of game for everyone. Having your creatures search for something is simultaneously too twitchy and too boring (drag a dude into the red plants and wait for a little light to show up to tap on it, pray it doesn't go away in the 3 seconds its there, repeat a few times in the hopes that you'll be given something more than a few points of currency), and the gameplay is fundamentally "do the next task the game tells you to do". But like I said, something keeps bringing me back to playing it.

Haha, are you serious? I don't think a game having its own thread kills said game, I'm pretty sure they die off as people lose interest. That said, I wish Gumballs & Dungeons had its own thread because it didn't click for me at all so it bums me out when I see a bunch of new posts and no new games, just more gumball chat

Wasn't my argument, just typically what happens with Android game threads though I agree with this sentiment. That and the game has no guilds functions.

Side note: Any new news on the snow man gumball?

I got a Play gift card for Xmas so I am probably going to blow it on one of these. And by "one of these" I of course mean "some dumb Square-Enix retro thing and/or Gumballs gems" :v:

P.S. This isn't game related, but the Play store just handed me a free 4-month subscription to Google Music (including Youtube Red). I'm surprised they gave it to me because I've gotten more than one trial of Google Music before. I got the banner as I looked at the main store page in my desktop browser, so I'm not sure if the offer shows up other ways, or if they're showing it to all people.

If you go to the play store on your phone, and then the music section, it should pop up as a banner toward the top. I just have to remember to cancel it before they bill me in April.

What does the Reindeer or Snowman do in Gumball and Dungeons?

I do it quickly for the easy 5 level with swordsman, spy, and gladiator.
I make sure to get knight as the first branch. I also grab the class after that gives HP when you beat an enemy. As long as I have over 90 HP when I fight the boss and have at least 3 snowballs I will win. Takes about 2 minutes. Almost no risk.

It's for the Airship. Your Airship later gets a point value based upon what you have in your team (which are other gumballs based on their bonuses) which is modified by other attributes. The one time purchase expensive one is kinda worth it.

Reindeer don't contribute to combo / special moves (which occur randomly) as the combos require specific Gumball class combinations to work. If you have a spare slot for that team and are out of gumballs to put in the line up, there is no downside. Otherwise, make sure it's not taking up the spot for a combination otherwise it will never go off.

however i was surprised that the controller feels comfy and super quality so I can easily see myself using it as a wireless controller for PC as well

Just diminishing returns. I'm approx. 9 days into Gumballs and the reindeer, while more powerful than some of my balls, is nothing extraordinary. What about the other prizes guys? Any goodies worth the grind?

A 4* gumball with a weapon and 16 food is 17,950 power and can combo. Reindeer is just always 6000 power and +speed.
Edit: Also not all combos are random. Some are just straight stat boost. For example adventure plus warrior gives +3 luck and +8 armor

My biggest issue right now in gumballs is that I don't really know what gumball/build I should be rolling with when I'm going for an endless run to get DP. I normally run with adventurer (legendary hunter) but it's pretty awful up against bosses. The only maze that I did well in was the Lost Temple where I was running as mage and using the crystals to clear mostly everything non boss related.

My set up for DP diving is the warrior built for swords and blade of ruin accompanied by zerg queen for magic access and the hatchlings and adventurer gumball for the bonus ep and venture skills. prioritize getting the swords you draw skill maxed and one point into the blade of ruin skill. Then I level up magic to cast everything and the first venture skill to find enemies quicker. Once I got those breakpoints I fill in the warrior skill tree and start on the mage tree.

You're not missing out on anything but ~10 gold pots. Reindeer gets outclassed eventually, and the none of the 4 gumballs are particularly useful.

Hold up, how does the Adventurer get bonus EP. Are you talking about the EP you get from it's base level (like +50, +100, etc.) because I thought his soul link skill was just running into more random gumballs in a dungeon?

Adventurer's villagers often gift you with EP among other things. Adventurer's ability, along with farplane ranger, is one of those things that sounds underwhelming but is actually somewhat overpowered in many dungeons. The villagers show up often and gift you so many things that he's one of the most useful and versatile gumballs in the game.

I might be in love with Swordsman. My first Endless Village of Heroes with no Soul Link since I put the Adventurer in for a 3-star upgrade. Silver Knight gives me hp on kill, which is basically defense (except it also increases max hp if you kill an enemy at full hp). Then I got to sit on Light Paladin until I faced the first boss so I had a free full heal available.
