Hey, so I never bothered with it either during my days as a Sega Genesis owner, emulator, or even playing all of those games via Steam, but is Kid Chameleon supposed to be good? Jesus :psyduck:

I mean, Altered Beast is pretty lackluster, but I at least remember that enough that nostalgia helps it along a bit, but goddamn, Kid Chameleon.
Kid Chameleon is one of those unsung gems like StarTropics. Games that were way ahead of their time and nobody had a copy of.

It was basically Kirby before kirby was a thing.

Well, it certainly doesn't seem like that. I'll give it some more time but it seems very rote, in a world with Mario and Sonic. Platformers like Ristar I love, they did something incredible with that one.

Edit: I'd love officially released NES games on Android, but that'll never happen; SEGA really does what Nintendon't.

Goons have started figuring out how to dual-box and we're starting to do well in Lineage 2 Revolution (download link to apk https://apkpure.com/lineage-2-revolution/com.netmarble.revolutionthm ), it's a good time to hop on if you want to play it but were on the fence, we've got 2 goon guilds going right now and space for a dozen or so more people to join.. Message me (ceejay) or clan leader zotics in-game if you want to join up, we will lower the level requirement to like level 10, which takes about 20 minutes to reach. I don't think we particularly need any classes however, archers and dual-wield warriors are basically the rouge class of this game, although dual-wield warriors are really good at training a big pile of elite monsters onto someone who's AFK and left their character autofight-grinding, and getting them quickly killed :laugh: .

Mages are really fun because their basic attack is a chain lightning ability, and you can also find a vampiric staff (staff of flames) pretty easily which saves a ton of money on potions (but you will need to do a little bit of kiting as a mage, on some tougher boss and miniboss fights, just to buy time until your heal potion timer refills.) Each race has a unique pair of specializations for each class, so make sure you do a little quick googling on what you want to play as, not all the specs are what you might expect, there are melee-range mages and HoT or DoT mages, slow-firing and fast-firing sniper archers, etc.. Melee warriors and rogues tend to blow through soul-shot ammo fastest, if you're not into buying refills of special ammo you might not focus on those.

There's also a couple of The Infinite Black goons playing already, if you had a good time steamrolling pubs you might check this game out - you can pretty much just leave it to play itself all night with Bluestacks, which is nice since you have a ton of money and items laying around when you come on to play.

IIRC, the devs kept changing poo poo we figured out how to abuse, then pubby whales started using our tactics as well, and most goons got sick of trying to re-invent the wheel and moved on after it got out of hand trying to keep up with changes while being under siege by a ton of other clans (also the UI was loving atrocious in huge battles, which was what we specialized in). It was fun while it lasted though!

Kid chameleon has hundreds of levels, different warp whistle paths, secret areas and blocks. The powers after the 3rd level get pretty cool, you can use diamond powers from the start menu.

On the first lava level you can get a tornado man and fly through the next several levels until you get hit 3 times, every power up besides rhino and climber is better than Mario ones :colbert:

I never did beat it though. You can warp to the last boss from the second stage somehow, but you won't have enough lives.

One of the few games I try and speedrun even though I'm terrible at platformers, I wish they added shinobi iii

Kid Chameleon is one of those platformers of the era that is janky as gently caress and doesn't feel half as good as any of the more popular platformers of the era, but it also has an absurd amount of content and a ton of cool fun ideas. It's basically a game that has a high amount of jank you have to get through to enjoy, but if you can manage, you'll find a ton there.

You can sideload the APK file, which is what I have to do since I live in Europe. You have to do it every time they do major updates, but it's not terribly inconvenient. I usually use https://apkpure.com/puzzle-dragons/jp.gungho.padEN for downloading it.

If you don't mind that you have to move it freely in the same row/column, 100000000 and the sequel You Have To Build a Boat are really good.

I have Memu installed to run TMR macros for FFBE so I installed this and gave it a go. It's pretty and very easy to play, so much so it's more like a slightly interactive idler. Reaching L10 took over an hour but I was hardly in a rush, reading the text and fiddling with things. Is there a thread for this or aren't that many people playing it? And has someone made macros for it? I leave FFBE running over night so leaving a second memu with this going wouldn't be any trouble.

I've had this game for quite a while now and it is a lot of fun. It's basically a sci-fi roguelike in the sense that you are piloting your ship through a series of randomly generated maps fighting randomly generated enemies. Each map has an enemy race, and while some of them are harder than others, they are all unique.

Bugbyte is also coming out with a new game sometime soon, I haven't really been following it too closely but it looks like it could be pretty fun.

Battlevoid Harbringer? It's completely fine on a phone sized touch screen. There's very little 'controlling' you need to do. weapons/fighters/bombers are automated and will target enemies within range, so the only thing you really you need to worry about in battles is positioning.
