I don't understand the strategy of skipping a tile choice in LBAL; when should I skip choosing a tile? It feels like you want to have as many as possible

Early on I take whatever I feel will work best short term or take advantage of any early synergies. Soap is an early favorite. I will never skip until I got 25 tiles. Once I get towards the 3rd rent payment I should have an idea of what way the run is going and will start to skip anything that isn't amazing (I always take Watermelons) or related to my synergy.

Yeah, eventually you fill the board regardless so something that just clogs up the board you should skip. Think if you're doing ores or something and you get offered Flower, Cherry, and Gold Coin. All of those are one gold tiles which, ideally, you should be earning more than such after a few payments.

It feels like you want to have as many as possible Generally speaking you should be keeping as close to 20 as possible. You want consistency in your combos, and the more symbols over 20 you have, the less likely you'll get your stronger combos. This gets more complicated as you climb floors and get fewer removal tokens or start taking on duds, but the same principle of trying to minimize variance still applies.

Your priority should be: Whatever you're working on; ore, fruit, whatever Symbols that destroy themselves Symbols that can be destroyed by something common. Like get candy/presents/piñatas cause toddlers are common. Also don't get more than 1 toddler, dwarf, miner, etc. Unless you get an item that makes having more than 1 do something. One thing to keep in mind too. You're gonna lose. A lot. Losing and learning the game is part of it. And luck is a huge part of it. Sometimes you have everything you want/need for your set up and then you don't get something you need and you lose.

Oooohhhhh k, holy poo poo, now I understand the skipping. This changes everything. I don't know why that didn't click for me before. Maybe I will truly enjoy LBAL after all. And it's not like "numbers go up" is too basic for me; I was terribly addicted to Egg Inc, ffs.

I've been playing a bunch of Dicey Elementalist, but I finished off the characters I have and rather than buy the next one, I went back to Dicey Dungeons. Now I'm remembering why I fell off this game. I'm on the Witch elimination round.

I remember being like totally engrossed in Dicey Dungeons when it dropped riiiight up until I had to start going through the witch stuff. Kinda felt like the games were just a scootch too long to have a character where you WILL just randomly punt a run at any point.

Farquar posted:Have you tried Card Quest? You make a deck based on what equipment you wear at the beginning of the mission, but then your deck stays the same until the end boss. It's very much a puzzle solving kind of card game and it's pretty great. Thanks for this request from last page, I've been playing this a lot and it's close to what I was looking for. The only real sticking point for me is that you have flat upgrades for your starting gear that can be hard to find, but with all the gear and items being reusable from go it gives a good feeling of solid movement without a ton of deckbuilding. Those WinterSpring Games lads, they get me

I managed to beat Witch 4 by getting the counter spell/glass cauldron infinite. Tedious, but impossible to lose with once you have it.

I had a lot of fun playing through almost the entire Dragon Quest series on mobile. It's not a gatcha game. I also loved Monument Valley and its sequel. I am hungering for good Android games that are explicitly not gatcha. I hate gatcha and hate that mobile gaming seems to revolve around what is basically gambling. Having in app purchases is fine. There was a Mario infinite runner that had one in app purchase to buy all the content past the first few levels. That is fine. I'm just not sure how to search for non-gatcha, buy it up front games. There's so so much shovelware.

The play store sucks there's probably better places to search for apps, but if you go to the top charts tab and filter by top paid, you'll get a list of the 200 best not lovely android games. There's some interesting stuff like XCOM 2 and Medieval Total War in there

I found Tinyfolks this way recently, I've been enjoying it a lot! It's like an 8 bit Darkest Dungeon. Not an iap to be seen.

It's something like half golf // half pool but has like the absolute perfect run length. Hard to put down, which I don't often feel about phone games. Seems like it has a TON of stuff to unlock, but has a Slice & Dice-style "unlock options" button in the settings.

Wasn't there a similar golf game, where you sometimes have toilets for balls, there are explosive barrels, etc. I was waiting for it to come out on mobile, but it never did, I think.

I love The Room games. The puzzles are good, but more than anything I like how, despite any haptic feedback, they have a tactile quality to them. Particularly slotting things into place, unscrewing stuff, operating cogs and so on. There are only so many times I can replay them, however, so I'm looking for similar things. I've played all the House of Da Vinci games and whilst they're okay, I didn't find they replicated that tactile quality. All the other recommendations I see seem to focus on the puzzle aspect rather than that method of interaction - so I commonly see things like the Rusty Lake series, or Machinarium suggested (I've tried both of these, they're fine in their own way, but not what I'm after). Does anyone know of other games that capture the tactile essence found in The Room series?

Subpar Pool is quite cool. How does one pocket a Splitter without splitting it? I've done it on occasion, but I can't repeat it. EDIT: Hit it with a ball that's not the cue ball. delfin fucked around with this message at 03:54 on Oct 27, 2023 |

Lowness 72 posted:How far is a long shot?
