Blockheads is pretty cool. I'm bad at these games but its cool.

I just want to say thank you to whomever decided to make it portrait or landscape. That is such an awesome feature because depending where I am I can still control the game even if I'm holding it one handed.

Make IAP that allows the progress bars for crafting to go up while home'd out

Done.

Same feelings although I want to love the game. Please add IAP to queue up actions while you know, working in real life :)

It's more of an actual game but still not that great to be honest. I deleted the beta after a few plays as it was more tedious than anything.

There's a jailbreak app that shows PSX buttons on your screen. You drag/resize them over the shity dual joystick or whatever config the game has and you can then use your Ps3 controller via Bluetooth to play it. Don't know the tweak but it's cool.

So there's a new app that let's you join and create servers with the Minecraft Pocket app. It even has built in voice chat. It's retarded. I'm going to pair my PS3 controller and see how it runs.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that's getting really annoyed and bothered by IAP games. There's something to say about paying once and then never having to pay again, and also having it be more like a complete game.

Just finished Mission 16 in Space Agency which is a full-on recreation of the Apollo Moon Landing and Jesus Christ. It took me well over a dozen, perhaps 2 dozen attempts and it's a 10-15 minute mission. I can see it being the ragequit point for a lot of players. It doesn't really help that the Moon has a landing zone which is about 4 lander widths long, and that matching lunar rotation requires your velocity to dip well into the orange "rapidly plummet into the moon" zone. It did bring back memories of the old Windows Lander game although not quite as fussy as that legendarily was. The Lander (both ascent/descent modules, but particularly ascent) seems a bit more fidgety than every other vehicle in the game up to that point. At least the ascent module's auto-launch is pretty cool to see in action.

If anything, this game has given me a new appreciation for just how loving insane it was that we managed to put a man on the moon with 60's technology/experience without killing dozens upon dozens of astronauts in the process. Like I have.

EDIT: As a tip, I've found it much easier when docking in orbit not to line up and dock horizontally but to roughly match speed and dock on the vertical (from above or below) with a well-applied thruster boost. Not exactly kosher I'm sure but it's less risky and time-consuming.

In free mode I want to go to the moon, land on it, then take off. It seems like that would be impossible due to the sheer weight of it all. How do I do this? 2 ships? How does that work?

What do you have unlocked? You'll need the Lunar Lander unlocked to land on the moon without self-destructing.

I bought everything. I'm just wondering how to make a rocket that will bring everything I need with me. Basically, what parts did you need to bring up to do a moon landing/takeoff?

With Apple's new policy about non-widescreen apps not being allowed to be updated, I hope this doesn't screw up DJMax Ray because it's not widescreen but it includes new song packs with each update.

Maybe it'll just force them to make it widescreen, I hope?

Where can I find this new policy?

Easiest way would be to build a Saturn V.

I think it's:

S5 1st stage + Large-Large connector + S5 2nd stage + S5 3rd stage + Lower LAM + Upper LAM + S5 Fairing + Apollo Service Module + Dockable Crew Module + Escape Tower

Otherwise, you'd need to build 2 Large/Medium rockets - one to lift the LAM into orbit around Earth and one to lift the Service+Crew module into Earth orbit. Then assemble them in orbit and blast off to the Moon.

What's a LAM?
E: and Apollo service module?

The art actually looks pretty awesome. Too bad the game itself looks kinda bad even from the tiny screencaps.

This has got me thinking how hard I'd play an iOS U7. You'd need to do a fair bit of typing though so I guess it wouldn't work.

You can be a fighter, or a Mage! What choices!
