I had to scrub Merge Mayor from my phone last year because I was starting to spend money on it and that's something I cannot be trusted with

New Leaf posted:A big ol "I love/hate you" to whoever got me started on Merge Mayor. It is troublingly addictive. Plus it brainwashed me into downloading one of the ads that I've seen for years and years where you're a king with knights and consorts and I'm similarly hooked on that. What is wrong with me? Don't be shy, share the game. Is it Evony, m'lord? Mr Hootington posted:Yes. It is made by the gumball and Dungeons people and this game has a lot of moving parts. It is technically an idler, but lol Gumball and Dragons people? Sold. drat it I don't have time for another game.

Any recs for some offline games I can load up before traveling? I'm okay with dropping a few bucks for good games. I've enjoyed vampire survivors, stardew, canabalt, and layton on mobile for some examples.

Dungeon warfare 2 Ace attorney trilogy and Apolo justice if you hate money and missed them on NDS Iron marines

There's a few games in the Vampire Survivors vein I keep coming back to if you want more of those: Brotato (Premium) 20 Minutes Till Dawn Magic Survival Ultra Blade All offline and without any ad farm mtx nonsense. Soul Knight is fun, it's a bit like Enter the Gungeon/Nuclear Throne with a variety of characters/skills/weapons. (Has some online progression stuff/limited mtx but works just fine offline) Kairosoft games are always a good time for something in a simulation genre. Pick your favorite theme and go nuts. I like Dungeon Village 2 and Tropical Resort Story the most out of the ones I've tried so far. Siralim Ultimate has a pretty decent mobile port (onscreen joystick/buttons); if that sort of monster catching team building gameplay appeals to you at all it should keep you busy for... well, forever, probably.

I don't recall if it needs to connect to start, but the port of Dead Cells is remarkably playable on a phone screen for such a complex game. I'll also throw out 9th Dawn 3 (Haven't played 1/2, but they look to be similar) as a fairly sprawling action rpg.

Super Snail looks like a fun little thing but I do have to remind mobile game makers that the ideal startup time for your game is less than ten seconds. Going through layers of server pings and logins every time you pick up your phone isn't going to be good for retention.

I kinda hate that now that I see it, but the actual game loop is satisfying and there's a ton to do. You do have a wife and lovers and heirs and stuff but its not some porny harem game.

Oh yeah super snail has a long beginning. You can play it for about 24 hours straight in the beginning before it stops throwing poo poo at you. Don't forget to use the codes either. There are like 100 active right now lol

The tutorial for this snail game is like a fever dream Edit: Seriously though I really hate when tutorials just do the "Click this now click this now click this now click this" thing. Especially when the tutorial forces you to use the time skips that I'm sure are not infinite in the real game without watching ads or something. explosivo fucked around with this message at 20:30 on Aug 11, 2023 |

I have no earthly idea what any of these stat upgrades are or what they mean but I have yet to run out of red !'s to click on over the past hour or two so I guess I'ma keep doing that and choosing upgrades randomly  Edit: Lol there's no way to change servers without starting a new character. Also I had to clear data in the app after changing because it was going to make me do the tutorial again before the server selection opened up to switch back and fuuuuck that. explosivo fucked around with this message at 22:15 on Aug 11, 2023 |

Help, android thread! I'm looking for a game I used to have installed. It was a grid, and I want to say it was very grey. On the outside of the grid, on one side, was a power source and throughout the grid were many computers. Every square on the grid had a line in a different configuration, and you could rotate them. The ultimate goal was to get power to all of the computers.

It may not be the specific version you're looking for, but Simon Tatham's Puzzles has a game in it that's structurally similar. As for Super Snail, I found a dead body in an alleyway and it led me to a clue to Perfect Kimchi. Yeah, this is the Gumball & Dungeons team at work.

I have Simon Tantham's games, that's actually what reminded me about it a few days ago, and I just forgot to ask earlier. Thnaks, though. If anyone knows the standalone version of the game, I'd appreciate it.

I want to like the Snail game but the tutorial was super on rails and I learned nothing and right now I'm just pressing buttons because they're flashing and don't even really understand what this game is. I think I have to put it down.

I got through the tutorial for Super Snail and didn't feel a hint of fun. It was a shame because whoever put it together clearly had a lot of talent and put a mountain of work into it. All in all, it was about as engaging as going outside and picking pine cones off the ground.

I was similarly disappointed with Merge Mayor; I got the concept, and I liked merging stuff at first, but the very second the monetization came in, I uninstalled. I guess I don't care about merging poo poo enough to put up with any barrier to doing that right then and there. I'm kind of glad for it; I don't need another Egg Inc in my life.

I had a long bus ride so I installed Super Snail and started pressing buttons... i've never felt more old, confused, and out of touch. It feels like every single button I press causes more branching menus and options and confusing paths of behavior, all obviously in the interest of somehow driving me towards wanting to spend money on some poo poo. But it's so insane and labyrinthine that I couldn't even get to the part where I'd want something that required money

I'm laughing reading these complaints about super snails tutorial because that's how I feel about basically every mobile game of any sort of appreciable scale. I haven't played it but I know exactly what you're all talking about. I don't get why mobile devs put so little effort into tutorials. You'd be better off with none at all.

While looking for my "connect the computers together with rotating blocks" game, I found another version of a game found in Simon Tantham's collection; Flood! The difference with this one and ST's is that instead of specifically touching the blocks of the colour you want to change to, it's assumed you start in the upper left corner, and you select the next colour from the bottom. I don't know why I like this version better but I do. Maybe it's because of the progressive version where it gets tougher every level.

The snail game gets a little easier to parse after the first hour or two where you literally are just clicking on red !'s the entire time. I still mostly have no idea what any of these upgrades or stats do but the core gameplay is just sending your snail out on missions and making upgrades with the stuff he finds. They just really inundate you with complete nonsense with no context for that first hour or so.

Through the Ages has by far the best tutorial of any mobile game I've played. It was a bit lengthy but still felt engaging and didn't feel like you were being herded like cattle from screen to screen.
