Your brokebrain sin is absolved...go and shitpost no more!

Euclidea is a game made up entirely of Euclidean geometry puzzles. This is the kind of stuff that my high school math teacher would assign in his class so I feel really stupid about how bad I am at the game :mad:

edit: The app seems alright, I haven't seen any ads and you can skip levels if you get stumped. The Play store description says that you can play the whole game for free if you get enough stars in each level, so I assume this means there will be a wall at some point where I can't skip levels unless I go back and get full stars, but I haven't hit that wall yet.


vvvv edit2 vvvv Yeah, I was able to unlock the second level set without perfecting the first one, but after that it's a requirement.

Literally every level set. You need all the previous stars to unlock the next set of levels. That said, it's not too bad, just finding all the ways of beating each level and if you're utterly stumped and still don't want to pay you can just Google it.

You get to reincarnate at 1 Oc gold. Other things to do start opening up around R3 if I recall correctly; you get bloodlines and later mercenaries and challenges and research etc etc etc. If new and exciting ways to fool around with making gold/gems faster isn't the 'something else to do' you're looking for (i.e. you prefer games like A Dark Room/Candy Box over Sandcastle Builder) you can pretty safely give it a miss.

I don't mind too much, they're generally short ads and if I stopped speeding up scratch-ticket deliveries that would cut most of my ad watching down. What bugs me is when you get a blimp and you get a WATCH THE AD reward and your only choice is to watch the ad or get nothing, not even a lesser reward for not watching one option.

Naw it appeals to me i'm just idiot and thought I was hitting a wall. I didn't know reincarnation was really even i a thing, i thought that's what the blue gems did, but that's something else i guess. Some more stuff grayed out on the UI could be helpful, to give you something on the horizon.

Can anyone recommend a decent clicker/idle game? I've only played one mobile idle game (something involving oil rigs). It doesn't need to be flashy or anything--the more minimalist the better--but I haven't been following the trends, so I don't know what's good out there.

It's something I'd be poking at in small lulls of quiet time at work, as opposed to chipping away at Gems of War bouts.

You totally can. I'm not sure if there IS a game over condition besides "take too long to win" (which is a long time). It's fun just seeing all the different outcomes to events.

Ok I think I already know the answer to this, they are poo poo games, but thought I would ask just in case.

Has anyone played DomiNations or Forge of Empires? I see ads for them all the time that make them look like something I would enjoy but I know most of those games tend to be crap. Are they worth playing or is there something better in that build up from nothing into a civilization type of game?

The only IAP is if you want to unlock additional civs to play as. It comes with 5 or 6 by default, and there are another half dozen you can purchase. None of them are required, but the swords one is great for doing an early 1v1 rush and winning in turn 5 or so.

Yeah. In the first game I think you could probably end up broke enough that you can't rez your party, but it's not terribly terribly hard, just don't spread your skills out too much until your guys have a lot of energy.

KODP 2 is way easier, I beat it in a couple long afternoons and bus rides.

Day R is pretty chill, if you like just wandering around exploring and scavenging for loot and food. I've never noticed my hunger/thirst/etc continuing to any kind of notable level when I go offline either, the other day I badly injured my character and was running out of food and got frustrated, and two or three days later I've checked in a couple times and my guy is still chillaxin'.

You can also play offline, and save multiple profiles so you can be playing on Easy and Hard, and also have an online game going as well if you want. The people online seem to enjoy going out of their way to help anyone who can survive 14 days online, there're pretty decent sized clusters of players around the early and late late areas and I've just been walking along and had someone sneak up and send me a package containing 45 toxic water lights (irradiated shrroms in badly toxic water, they last for a long-rear end time and items stack.. So I basically have light forever, if I don't lose track of where I stored two thirds of them.)

There are ads in Day R but you can mute them and whatever media app you're playing music/etc will restart without you needing to back out and do it manually which is nice, and most ads can be skipped in 5 seconds. Ads mainly only popup when you hit the Search button FYI.

I've also been playing Solar Raid, which is a nice-looking space station "tower defense" game where you build a space station to hold off bad guys. The later levels begin to get more expensive to unlock but it's fun and most missions last less than 10 minutes so I can finish them on the bus, etc.

I also saw an ad for a nice-looking citybuilder/realms style game which had a lot of really nice looking units in huge armies, a la Total War or Age of Mythology.. Big squares of swordsmen and archers and cavalry backed up by big-rear end monsters.. I forgot the name of it and I'm afraid it looks like one of those "you really need to get in a clan and invade players all day" games which I'm not a huge fan of however, it was really good-looking. It seemed like it had a bit of card/gacha going too where you play cards to place units on the field in battle. Anybody recognize what I'm talking about?


Edit: oh there's a Metro 2033 android game that has 50k reviews and looks pretty clean, if anybody enjoys apocalyptic russian settings and grammar to match. I'll probably check it out after finals week.
