would anyone possibly know an answer to my post upthread? I am very unfamiliar with mobile games so I don't know good replacements for these sorts of games for her.

Captain Invictus posted:

hey all, my mom plays a lot of puzzle-ey games on her phone and just asked me to help her cheat in this puzzle bobble-esque game she plays that has premium currency and does the typical "once you reach a certain point it starts to gradually screw you over more and more to get you to pay cash" thing. She was going to download some random thing she googled because she has no awareness(or self-preservation it seems) of how devious and conniving these sorts of systems can be, so I explained how games do that sort of thing to goad you into paying for stuff. I asked her for a list of the games she plays a lot so I could possibly ask if anyone here knows of not-sketchy alternatives that don't pull that poo poo on players.

these are the games she listed to me:

Tanglemaster 3D
Bubble Cloud
Mahjong (not sure of the specific one she has, but a good one without in-app purchases would be preferable to replace it)
Cloud Games (I don't know what this is specifically either)

thanks for any help you may be able to provide!

Alright, here we go. You may have seen me in other gaming threads but now I'm here because I can actually link to a thing!

My solo-developed idle/incremental marble slide game IncrediMarble can now be pre-registered on the android store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.funfirst.letsroll&hl=en_US&gl=US

It looks like this:


Being an idle/incremental game, you start off with one piece, get marbles to go through it to earn money, spend the money on more pieces and piece upgrades in order to earn more money, repeat over and over building giant marble slides. It's more of a toy with an idle game mechanic than an idle game based on a toy. One of the IAPs just straight up removes the money mechanic so you can use it as a digital toy.

The biggest draws are 1: It's that fun marble slide toy you had as a kid and/or have given your kids. 2: It's free to play and ads aren't mandatory. 3: There's no micro-transactions, just a couple IAPs.

Hopefully I'll release it this month (I'm also releasing it on Steam, but that isn't free-to-play) and I'll discover just how shite discoverability and eCPM is on the Android market!

A few of us were in game discussing characters and such, and here is the guide on characters that was referenced. This isn't a tier list really, but describes how different characters fit into the game currently. https://forums.pizzaclubgames.com/t/character-rating-for-the-end-game/134


Each class will go in order of most powerful to least

Starting with tanks!

Staniscool.
He’s the best tank for the extreme raid due to his Leader ability once it’s at level 6 it gives you the ability to dodge the damage from coal explosion, which means you can just focus the boss and attack them for the full 10 minute counter instead of dying by the 3 minute mark.

Blackswordsman.
I think for overall content he’s the second best tank
His 5* skill has a mini taunt in it which is great when your dps is too high for your tanks to normally hold aggro
He also does the best DPs out of all the tanks and self heals

Healers adjust.
Currently the best for DD once you max him out he has at least 3 different stuns plus great damage reduction but he doesn’t hit his stride until 4 and 5* with his extra skills

Uther.
Great to use for most of the game. Comes with a stun and good defense + some auras
Once you max him out he is a alot stronger as well getting better damage and an aoe to his stun

Lily.
Lily’s great for the beginning of the game with her self heal and shields. Has a handy defense aura. But near the end game she doesn’t keep up well compared to the other tanks. She’s a must have to beat the t5 tank challenge early though

Guest.
Hands down everyone’s least favorite tank. Just not as useful at anything the other tanks can do

Healers.

Windsummers.
Hands down the best healer for the end game. Strongest healing power with her mad HoTs. But her best skill is her healing aura which at LVL 6 becomes a cdr aura at LVL 6 boosting everyone’s damage.

Roe3.
His 5* skill is a res which makes him one of the most useful healers for all content in the game at fully upgraded he has 2 healing assistants and provides shields on top of that so he’s no joke.

Foxymoxy.
Has some very good aoe heals. But her best feature is the atk boost to her squad which is no joke once maxed out.

Tsubasa.
Her leaderskill is an aoe res so it’s very helpful to make sure you 3* every stage until you get roe3 to 5*.
She also comes with an auto res skill at 5*

Pink lady.
Pink lady has some very helpful aoe heals and shields. But she just doesn’t keep up quite as well with the other healers I found.

Druid Jenkins.
He has cleanse and some good healing. But the totems can result in aggroing the wrong enemies or the totems stealing potential heals that your chars need. He also just can’t quite keep up with the the top healers in utility

Rangers

Willow.
Willows up there in the highest DPs chars her leaderskill is massive damage on boss’ since each bullet hits with increased damage. She also has a self atk boost and a execute at the highest levels

Sterlingsteel.
Definitely one of the most useful rangers with a pet leaderskill and a couple bleed skills. He gets insane crits and even more bleed at the max levels. Bleed scales massively as well in the game so his DPs only gets higher the further into the game you go.

Spicy meatball.
Spicy meatballs abilities a little different from the other rangers he hits with burns and some slows. His leaderskill applies all sorts of debuffs on the target and increases the damage they take. His DPs is good but not as good as willow or sterling.

Lonewolf.
Lonewolfs really good for the early and middle game so he’s good to use. His 5th skill hurricane shot hits hard though so it’s not a waste to keep him powered up with your team.

Garbage deeps.
Has really good aoe for clearing mobs making her good for the early and mid game. Her final skill hits hard but it doesn’t fire off if an enemy is in melee range of her so it makes it a wasted cast that does nothing.

Longinuslongname
The only other ranger with summons. Once he’s maxed out his pets hit hard and he’s got good utility. But hes better for dungeon runs and not raid boss’ where his DPs doesn’t scale as well.

Mages.

Zappy.
Highest DPs of the mages his leaderskill melts boss’ hitting the same target with each bolt this skill scales massively at high levels. His other skills also hit hard and almost all are aoe skills

Toolshed.
Second highest for sure maxed out her Leaderskill hits massively. But also leaves burning circles on the ground which also deal DoT making it hit again after the cast. Also applys burn and def down with her other skills. But her best skill is her 5* aura which increases damage and cast speed at the highest levels this a huge increase in your dps.

Jaina.
Jainas DPs Is no joke but her her shining qualities are all the freeze skills to help cc dungeons and the DD but also at max level her skills also give vulnerability which increases the damage a boss takes from all attacks.

King of Games
More of a summoner mage. His dragons and bulls hit hard he also has a trap that increases the damage taken by enemies. Hes great for early and mid game but he doesn’t quite keep up the with monsters above.

Friendly dude5
Honestly the best thing about friendly dude is his aura at 5* it’s similar to toolsheds but his usefulness is that you can plug him in as a support role in a big boss fight and just let him boost the damage around him. Otherwise his summons just don’t scale with him for DPs so he’s become more of a side support mage at the end game

Sailorgoon
Feels like sailorgoon is more suitable for PvP content rather than dungeons and bosses her damage doesn’t scale as well but her abilities include a aoe cleanse and self healing.

Medium DPS

PikaPika
Her spot in the top to me is almost exclusively because she has the only melee attack increase aura the amount of DPs her aura can bring your team is worth investing in her. On top of the fact that her DPs isn’t terrible

MistaDarcy
Another char that maxed out has the ability to freeze enemies but he also comes with a healing aura and his DPs is nothing to be ignored making him the most useful medium DPs char.

Gedran.
He has the ability to stagger and paralyze enemies but his real benefit is his damaging aura at 5* it gives a good DPs boost on boss’ he can stand next to and makes clearing dungeon runs with lots of little mobs a breeze

Kirito.
His leaderskill hits hard. But can be tedious to use because of squad movement ai. But his other skills make him useful with a cdr and maxed out he has a silence attack and a stun attack that always Crits.

Xero.
One of the few chars with execute skills and bleed his DPs can be pretty big once you invest in him since both of those scale based on the enemy your fighting which is great on boss’

Alexa
She’s good for dungeon runs with her knockback skill and roots but she doesn’t scale well for the endgame content

Red dragon.
Compared to the other mediums he just doesn’t keep up in DPs or utility so he’s at the bottom for my ratings

Light DPS.

Nippleman.
His axe throw at LVL 6 has a bleed effect which is also on a short cd. With the right supports he has the highest DPs in the game so well worth the investment.

Bigboned.
He’s great for the entire game early to end. Maxed out he also has an execute 2 stuns and hits hard so hes definitely a worthwhile investment.

Akatsuki.
Once maxed akatsuki can vanish an entire squad increasing their Crit damage and it mitigates damage making her useful. She also has an execute skill which is massive for finishing boss’

Muscle wizard.
He can provide an atk boost to an entire squad and has a self heal so he has some utility. His leaderskill is also useful for grouping up enemies to make them easier to kill

Mysterion
He’s ok for dungeon runs with a stun and pull move and self heal but his DPs can’t keep up with the others

Darkshadow
With all his ninja like skills he often jumps into an aoe attack or pulls entire rooms to come attack your squad making him one of the most frustrating chars to use. His kit can hit for some good Crits but I find he just isn’t as useful and other chars are better off being invested him before him.

I wish I could play this raid boss thing, but it just crashes after about 10 seconds of being open on my pixel 2.

Any point to joining a guild in Dicast? Pub guilds are always inactive and terrible. I'd suggest a goon guild but I don't know that there's much of a population yet.

It's a simple 1v1 board game with lots of variety and randomness. If RNG is the kind of thing that can ruin your day, stay away from this one.

Another thanks for this, there have definitely been a few games where RNG just completely hosed me over, but for the most part I'm really enjoying that I can encourage it not to.

Yeah, gems are more for energy and crafting mats. The gacha comes from upgrading your character's star level, which unlocks new skills; a lot of the meat of team building for harder content comes from higher star characters.

That said, for now I would say to refresh your energy and keys with gems, and maybe pick up a critical material from the shop here and there. Once you get Daily Dungeons, you'll be able to get an almost guaranteed income of 400+ gems a day to spend, plus feats.

Join the alliance asap, there is a 24 hour probation period before you start being able to contribute to raid tokens.

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

I just did a raid on my pubbie guild, some things to know going in:
Basically the raid is a series of increasing difficulty fights. Get enough stars on the low ones (I think it's always 6) and the next one up unlocks. Mid and final bosses it's depleting a health bar instead of stars, you know how these things go. There are some character-specific side areas that give more rewards but make the final boss harder. Rewards are based on how much you complete.

Main thing to note: Each character can only do one dungeon and one midboss. I don't know if the final boss is separate, we didn't get there. If you just autofill your top level characters will roll over the bottom-level dungeon and then be unavailable. Though the raid lasts two days, there is no midpoint reset. So ideally you're using your weakest guys who can still get 3 stars.

It gets you an extra 100 gold per day when you check in, and at the end of the season, the higher ranked guilds get a bigger reward chest.

There's absolutely no social interaction in the pubbie guild I joined. You can play monster jack together, but I've never seen that actually happen. There is however something in the "Coming soon" section of the guild page that says 4v4. Not sure what that is or when that's happening.

This is a really fun game, but I can't seem to figure out how to score over a wall.. It seems I either kick it over the goal, or don't put enough strength on it and it goes directly to the goalie.. Which means in training I am stuck on lvl like 28 and can't move forward, and in a game, if there is a wall in all my attempts I auto lose.. Any idea?

Watch your shot replays, you're probably soaring them over the goal (too hard) OR the goalie easily gets it (too soft). What you need to do is hit it on either the bottom left or bottom right corner of the ball, like 730 on a clock and 430, and usually pretty close to full power unless you're inside the box. Aim further away then youd think and start bending it in. I also trained between games every time, that might make a big difference. Its basically hitting masse shots in pool if that makes more sense to you. Also aim to the short corner if you're off center. Dont make the shots longer than they need to be. Crosses were harder for me than free kicks in the end

No prob. Once you start curving them more often you can start aiming for closer to the center of the ball (but still on the 430/730 clock lines) for more power which is what you seem to have to do later, big curves start not being enough
