Pixel Puzzle Collection is a picross game with Konami stuff that's apparently completely free except for ads.

Holy poo poo. I've bought Stardew Valley 3 times now and my only regret is that I couldn't give the money directly to the dev instead of Chucklefuck studios.

Haven't seen any yet but with hundreds of puzzles it would definitely be an odd thing to leave out. One thing that's cool is that there's no set order to the puzzles, it just gives you a random one of the difficulty you're on.

it does have an entire Parodius section. also, each puzzle has a little description, and they are pretty well-written

Anyone else playing this C&C Rivals? I feel so dirty playing it because I grew up on C&C and this game is a Clash Royale clone for the most part but it's actually kinda fun. I saw there's a bunch of clans with the word goon in it, do we have an alliance for this?

Seriously there are a lot of alliances with the word "goon" in the title and AFAIK they haven't posted here

explosivo they are gradually rolling out the beta to wider and wider groups, it's not open beta and it's not on iPhone yet. So although about ~5 goons (including me) have posted about it in this thread I think any alliance would have to allow pubbies for now.

I do wish they would just clone the original C&C and Red Alert games onto Mobile/Touchscreen with an updated UI and nothing else. Those games were fantastic.


I still have yet to actually beat that Ant campaign yet. :argh: The original C&C games were much harder (from what I remember) than Red Alert 2 and games since. Man I miss Westwood.


Also I am excited for Stardew Valley too. I got into it on PC, then put it down due to life and feel like I need to restart it to know what I was doing again. Being on mobile might make that a hell of a lot easier.

I was already playing it "mobile" a bit though with my Shield Portable at times.

I don't care for the big ad that pops up after a game on the main screen because I keep hitting it trying to start a new puzzle. Other than that, which isn't that big of a deal, I really like the game. Already played my first "BOSS" puzzle too and beat it.

Picross Survival is not a good picross game. By that I mean if you make a mistake, it lets you know immediately. Pixel Puzzle (and Hungry Cat) you can go for trial and error to get a level complete. Of course with Hungry Cat Picross if you make a mistake on a sparkling spot you don't get the gold.

There is an ad at the bottom of the screen which isn't very bad as it is out of the way but after a lot of the puzzles when it goes back to the main screen to pick a new one it will pop up a huge add in the center right where you need to tap to get a new puzzle.

The current ads I am seeing are for PES Pro Evolution Soccer.

I am not running any ad blocker or anything tho so maybe that is why you don't see them.

I'm making an alliance for C&C Rivals. There's no USSR flag and the Russian Federation one just doesn't have the same chutzpah. Look up "We shall have RESPECT" and I'll add you.

For folks that haven't played it: progression is Clash Royale, gameplay is hex based movement fighting over control points. Controls feel intuitive, looks good, no Frank Klepacki music.

I'm not running an ad blocker and I haven't seen any ads. I've done like a dozen puzzles. The one thing I dislike is that most of the puzzles are quite small, and a lot of the time they don't look like much until you solve it and the colors are applied.

Even with an adblocker the ad will still pop up.

If you tap the screen immediately after finishing a puzzle it will cancel the loading of that ad. At least on my phone.

Yeah I'm a little concerned.. I can't imagine some of the deeper levels of the mines on a touchscreen. Farming would probably be okay until you fat-finger and ruin a crop or something.

You have to double tap when zoomed in to paint a block. Bit of a pain.

I'm wondering, people who are getting ads, are you all in the US? I'm in Canada, and don't see any, popup or banner or otherwise.

What are the thoughts on the game Merchant? Ironically, I was browsing Facebook on my phone and I saw an ad for it being on Steam. Never heard of it before today but it seems well received.

What do you guys think of it, as a mobile game?
