It's a little awkward on the phone initially, it uses an on screen gamepad that's customizable but not great. Kinda blocks some of the screen at the default opacity. You can move it around though.

It doesn't make me happy if you call me cute, you bastard!
Is anyone else playing Cookie Run at all? I discovered this game a few weeks ago thanks to some friends and I honestly think it's fantastic. It's a fairly basic endless runner that has some light gacha elements that keep it interesting. Each cookie/pet has a unique ability and there are also treasures you can add on to change things up even further. There's an anniversary event going on too that added some new Affection system that I don't totally understand. There's all kinds of different modes and stuff and there's even a two-player mode! The gacha is extremely generous in my experience, you get showered with premium currency and cookies and you can even semi-target cookies that you want. Plus, if you care about this kind of thing, these weird little cookies are actually pretty diverse and it seems like quite a bit of care goes into their designs and "backstories." The latest cookie is pretty blatantly dressed in the colors of the bisexual flag. None of it's anywhere close to in your face (you kind of have to be looking for it) but it's nice for those of us that care.

Basically please give this game a look if you haven't. I'm going to shamelessly leave a referral link, it will give both of us some nice stuff, but obviously feel free to just look in your store of choice for it. The way it works is a little strange, you can complete the mission normally, but you need to click the button in the referral while the game is closed. I don't know why. Feel free to add me too if you download it!! My ID is FJYXZ9408. I can try to answer questions I guess but I'm not that good at the game. I could gush about this game all day, it's been a minor obsession for the past few weeks. The characters are my favorite part!

EDIT: And if it has been posted I apologize, I searched the forums and could not find anything.

The game is all over the place. It just seems like a bunch of Gacha/IAP tacked on to what is essentially an endless runner.

I mean, yeah, that's exactly what I described it as. It is an endless runner that's got some gacha elements/different runners that keep it interesting. That's going to immediately appeal to some people and viscerally repel others. I have never felt compelled to make a single IAP and frankly they're usually quite bad value anyway. I play the game for like 15 minutes every day and finish all the daily quests very easily. You can play for longer though.

Ok this PixelPuzzle Picross game is getting really hard once you get past 65% and into the 5 star puzzles. I am not really sure what tactics to use to even solve these as there just isn't much info. It really turns into total guessing at that point and you cant even really make an educated guess.

This is as far as I can get without making wild guesses on this one.

Well, it's not much, but that 1/5/1/1 column on the right can get a single dot filled in for the 5. And that 1/4/1/1/1 column on the left can, too. Then you surround that one, at least, with X's (since it's deffo a 1), and, uh, that's a start.

Huh, in addition to me not actually having any ads in the app, I don't have the MORE APPS button in the top right either.

Edit: Also that 1/2/2/4 column in the left, where you have the two dots filled in? Those 2 dots are definitely one of the 2's, it can be surrounded with X's. Then the spaces below it can mostly be filled in for the 4.

Are you talking about the column next to it? Or the same row to the left. I don't see how either can be filled in with the data known at that point and I have even gone a little farther than what he posted.

Shallow? I mean, it's picross. In fact Pixel Puzzles is one of the best in terms of just feeding you puzzles.

If you're worried about it being too simple, things get more complex later on. If you're looking for a game that has, like, collectibles and other kinds of mechanics, I don't know if there's anything like that. Maybe Hungry Cat Picross - it's got slightly different mechanics to picross, dealing with colors you fill in instead of ordered numbers.

Is Sirlam 3 has this super annoying early game minion call thrasher fiend who has extremely high attack and speed with a trait "deal 80% of your attack damage twice". It likes to go first and kill three of minions. I haven't unlocked breeding yet and the game doesn't have any good defense minions in play.

The level 12 boss always starts with a thrasher fiend who kill 3 out of 5 of my team first action. So now I'm massively grinding hoping to not die to this one random mob. I'm not a big fan of this game design.

I think you should have enchanting unlocked at that point? Throw some speed on your dudes, going first is huge. I have a Raven Acolyte who has crazy high speed and a spell called Spectral Blades that calculates off speed instead of Int (and hits 2 targets and gives him a free melee attack 60% of the time). Really helps take out problem enemies before they can... be problematic... i guess.

Also try hitting Craft instead of Forge on artifacts, it gives them a pile of random properties and you may luck into reduced damage from chaos, which will mitigate the thrasher. Or find a Chaos Shield which has an inherent 60% DR vs. chaos.

It also may help to go back and get a couple gods up to a higher rep, it's 5/10/20 perk points for the first three tiers, which doesn't take long to get on a couple gods and grab one of the very strong 50 point perks your class offers. I'm playing Chaos and I invested in the free random buffs ASAP, if you're nature you'd want Hybridization or Purebred, depending on which one works. Life you could mix Perseverance and Guardian Angel until you just survive those big hits. Sorcery could run Wild Magic and hope for super strong gems. Death takes more points but you could run Horrow Show + Blood Splatter and just run 5 summons that explode when they die?

Obviously straight grinding will also work! I found a couple of the boss fights just took a couple extra levels and some investment into my artifacts to push past. One monster to keep an eye out for is the Djinn Evoker (the green one), when he provokes he spends up to 50 mana to deal 3% int damage per mana to all enemies, i.e. a fuckton.

Pixel Puzzle starts feeding you some pretty complex 15x15s once you reach a certain threshold of finished puzzles. It's worth it if you don't mind mowing through the easy stuff.

I finally beat the boss. I had to keep restarting until the boss didn't have the fiend. Even my raven with +speed couldn't go before a fiend. It seems like boss mob get a stat boost.

I'm going sorcery since it was the strongest in the 2nd game. And yeah I went with wild magic because 3 free spells every battle sounded fun.

They kept them but now the p2w skins give you some currency too while the non-p2w skins cost less. They're also doing a merge with the JP servers where the JP players get turbofucked. The JP players lose all of their collab units, unit skillups, rune levelups and lunas with ssr tickets and other stuff as compensation.
