I installed Hearthstone. Doesn't run super well on my Nexus 4, but hopefully there will be some performance tweaks. It gave me a free pack for playing a game on an Android phone. I opened it and found :supaburn: Ragnaros :supaburn:

For those who don't play, it's a really good, really rare card. Not something I was expecting at all :D

Lots of people in the Hearthstone thread have been pulling Legendaries out of their free iPhone/Android packs, I got Al'Akir myself :tinfoil:

Use it on upgrades, that is what it is for. You'll almost certainly have plenty to spare by the time you have upgraded everything, and still not finished the first runthrough.

I finished the first run through with plenty of upgrades still to get, and I was always starving for dust... Second time through might be different.

Are there any other word games that are similar to it? I'm not too crazy about crossword puzzles but I dig stuff like scrabble.

Like Xtanstic said, Spelltower. It's generally harder, and there aren't any cartoon characters, but I've had it on my phone/s for years. It was in a Humble Bundle a while ago, but it's worth the money anyway.

I've been enjoying Alphabear lately (from the people who made Triple Town) but are there any similar Boggle-like games that don't require an internet connection to play? I don't mind paying a few dollars for the right game.

Try Spelltower.

Alphabear is great for teaching kids how to read and write, except when you have 5 letters left on a perfect game and they are UNCTY. I swear that the devs made it so that the letters that will help you spell terrible words are more likely to drop.

I can't get past the animal chapter boss in Alphabear. I've tried something like ten times and I've once managed to get within 1000 points of the golden egg limit. So many goddamn Ys and you need to clear all of them or your bear won't be big enough.

How big are the bonuses on the bears you're using? I think I had 3 bears giving over 300% final bonuses each and I got it on my second try (just yesterday). I have been stuck on the Animal Chapter for a long time though.

Well, this is loving fantastic. Hitman Sniper evidently doesn't use Google Play Games's cloud sync, even after you sign in to the service. I don't feel like redoing those hours of playing.

Lara Croft Go is pretty fun, but the puzzling is pretty simple until the final set of stages with the crystal monsters. Not as braindead as Monument Valley, but still rather easy. The last set of stages also sort of play around with expected puzzling logic too, which was fun. (as in like, looking at the elements and figuring out the order to do things based on placement/adding stuff in that isn't necessarily used in the solution) I also like that when replying stages to get any missed treasures you can just exit out after tapping the pots instead of needing to complete the stage again.

Yeah I'm in the second stage at the moment, and its definitely not as challenging as Hitman Go but I think it's more fun to play, its really well put together.

Man, the expansion of Lara Croft GO is much harder than the first section. It's fun though, I like hard puzzles.

Anyone here beaten Spellspire? I've beaten level 100 (top of the tower), but there are also now 'Underground' levels which each have 5 stages, of which I'm down to level 8. Anyone know how far down it goes? It doesn't appear to be randomly generated.

Did you ever play that word game with the blocky bears? Seriouspost, I just can't remember the name. You make words out of the letterzavailable on the grid, Boggle-style, thus consuming them, and the space you clear turns into bears. At the end, they use one of the words you made, offensive or not, as a madlib. It's great fun!

Yes I remember that one, I played the heck out of it I think about a year ago? I liked it a lot, just wondering what the latest puzzle games people are playing are.

I was able to do it with just regular non-winter clothes. But the word of warning from me is that you don't have to circumnavigate by going around the North and South Poles. It's enough to go to the North Pole and then you can head back to London right away. I suppose the idea is that the wager doesn't specify the latitude at which you need to circumnavigate.

Oh that's the only way I've done it, I didn't even know you could get to the South Pole. Must be time for a replay...

I remember a rumour that it was possible to get to the Moon, did anyone ever manage it?

Thank goodness. It got to the point where I mindlessly deleted them and always realised too late when one came up I could actually help with, my fingers were faster than my brain.


The crafted gear I get seems dodgy. I'm crafting at level 30 now but haven't had any gloves since the blacksmith was level 6. Yet I've had the same crowbar pick 5 times with better stats, the same worm crate boots several times and the same chest detection hat multiple times. Those three things over and over, never anything else. What's everyone else's crafting like?

My crafting level is 15 but seems mostly varied, I do get the same Nitramine Kicker boots a lot though.

Does this wrestling game have any kind of fairness to the mumtiplayer match making? Almost all of my guys are 2-star and I get constantly wrecked by 4-star opponents. I've only just barely won one game against someone who didn't seem to know how to play, and even their wrestlers were all 3-stars.

A few that are a little different:
Blendoku / Blendoku 2 (colour pattern game, kind of zen, bad in sunlight though)
Euclidea / Pythagorea (geometry puzzle games)
Flappy Golf 2 (not exactly a puzzle game but puzzley in nature)

I've played those first ones and they didn't hold my attention long. Flappy Golf seems like a winner for now though!

I also found Jump Drive which is kind of like that Color Switch game that was big a couple of years ago, but it's a bit easier and has more actual progression.

Recruit the witch, reign for 60 years, and pass the sainthood test. Stats wise, it looks like I'm in the same boat. Half the objectives fulfilled, and half the deaths. About 10 more characters to meet. It seems like some of it, I should just look up astrology and tarot.

Spoilers, maybe: have you used the spell book on the cat? Also, is the only point of the maze to change your sign? I guess signs really affect how you should play that particular life.

Yeah I think I'm a bit further ahead than you. About the cat: You're right, and it opens up another storyline. About the maze: There are more significant things that happen in the maze, but you should find out about those naturally. You pass the sainthood test by using a certain item when you max out your religion influence. I haven't done the 60 years one but you have to use another item when you hit the 41 year cap to even be able to do it.
