Anything The Sims-like on Android? It doesn't have to be 'customize their nose hairs' or anything, just kind of a step back from the non-existent SimCity stuff and more of a focus on individual houses and people. Also, can someone explain the thread title?

I wanted to give the game a go, but my phone's screen is too small; I keep mistapping. A pity. Has anyone tried Survive! Mola mola! yet? I saw it mentioned in a webcomic, and I'm curious.

So once I've collected all the dumb ways to die for my mola mola, is there any reason not to go to Hard Mode? Or should I be buying all the upgrades or getting the death percentages as high as possible or something first?

Make sure that you have them all, though (all 9 adventures/all 8 food/all 6 secret deaths), as you can't go back to get the weight increases if you missed them on normal. Six secret deaths? Are you including natural causes, or is there something I missed? Sudden Death says 100% complete, 345% weight bonus...

Anyone have a link to a guide for 80 Days that is less 'be sure to choose to rotate the Buddha's left nipple counter-clockwise to unlock the secret time machine' and more 'this is what it means when something's price is listed as '£5/80d'? Other questions I have include 'is there a way to zoom out when using a stylus' and 'is there a shortcut for 'return to your current location from the world map'.

I got bit by the same trap. I guess that idea is that 150 rads may well kill you at some point in the future, but freezing will kill you right now. Incidentally, every time I go into the app, the text is all the way at the top. Is there a way to get to the bottom quickly that isn't 'flick the screen like you're spinning the Price is Right wheel'?

I have to say, after playing Lifeline a bit, I'm rather disappointed. Aside from a few ways to get killed off by doing really stupid things, it's extremely linear, with a lot of cosmetic choices and only a choice near the end determining which of two good endings you get. Or is there some fascinating path I've missed?

There are only two Lifeline endings that don't involve gruesome death. You decide between the two when the rescue ship lands. If you tell Taylor to run to meet them, they can get rescued. If you tell Taylor to stay in the computer room, they sacrifice themselves to destroy the aliens. Souffle posted:Lifeline: In the ending I got, Taylor and Captain Aya were both rescued. Wait, are you sure? Isn't Captain Aya one of the pod people? How did you avoid that?

Frush posted:Is it just me or do all the armor glyphs seem to have a negative effect? I'm not sure why I'd really want most of them. It's not just you, but it'd be better to say the effects are a mixed bag. And it depends on what version of Pixel Dungeon you're playing; there are about a dozen of them on the Google Play store, and I've only tried a few. My suggestion would be to apply a glyph when you have a spare set of armor; depending on the results, you may toss it, keep it, or swap between the two depending on the situation. (Anti-entropy armor, for instance, is a lot more useful on a water level.)

I use manual controls when I'm trying to advance to the next area (as opposed to hitting autobattle to scare up some cash and items). I'm currently running two healers (one with lots of +MP stuff and a Hero's Blood, and another who's got more attack-oriented stats and the MP-restoring item), a knight (specced for attack, but not to the point of sacrificing defense), a thief (with all the stabbing, and a gold shield because why not), and a dark mage (using the magic wands to buff both HP and MP). Items for the last three vary; I haven't settled on a loadout, though right now I'm going with Hero's Blood + Magic Lamp for the dark mage, Hero's Blood + MP restorer on the thief, and some sort of attack and/or defense booster on the knight. A few tips I've discovered along the way:

YggiDee posted:An average of 37.5 damage with no other bonuses is okay for early levels but it gets outstripped pretty quickly. Here's some math on the various weapons. (I'm probably missing some.) There are two situations to consider: the situation where you have noob stats and most, if not all, of your attack power comes from your weapon, and the situation where you have an awesome attack score even without a weapon. For the former, the formula I mentioned earlier for expected damage, (1+cd)a, uses the attack stat of the weapon as a. For the latter, a is so large that any contribution from the weapon is minimal, so we only really need to compare cd. At early levels, the preferred weapon order (considered solely for DPS) is:

SilverMike posted:Dhronen is 45 attack, 30% crit chance, 150% crit damage and can inflict burn or sleep. It's replaced the Forks for me whenever I can get them. At early levels, (1+cd)a = 65.25, better even than the Fork. At later levels, cd = .45, which isn't top tier but respectable. (And of course this only considers pure DPS; a weapon that can sleep is pretty useful!)

Demon shields are good for someone who's going to be using a lot of magic but not so much the punching. I throw one on my main healer, generally. I suppose you could put one on a conjurer or dark mage, but you'd need to micromanage them so they're not feebly poking at things.

So, it turns out Ragezerkers are really good. Yes, you can't control them, but their skill lets them bestow a +2 Attack bonus on a random party member. Big deal, until you realize it's permanent. I went with a party of Ragezerker/Healer/Healer/Thief/Knight and autobattled my way through 400 levels. I haven't tried an all-Ragezerker party yet, so I don't know if the AI is smart enough to actually hit things or whether it'll spend its entire first round buffing - which would give the mobs a free shot. I dropped a Google buck on permanently unlocking them, though I didn't realize that I couldn't get them to join right after dimension-hopping because of the reputation requirement. Still, that's 500k I don't have to spend each world, and it was a Google buck, so nothing of value was lost. Oh, and a note on my earlier numbers for weapons: it occurs to me that, sooner or later, your crit chances will be ridiculously high due to other bonuses. And your attack will be up there too. At which point the only stat that matters is the critical damage boost, so for pure DPS the Fork once again wins out. e: also, the game seems to have a bad habit of crashing, at least on my tablet. Whenever you have the chance, quit to the title screen, as that saves your progress. I do it once as soon as I get back and once as soon as I'm geared to go out again.

Yeah, level 500 is a big ol' stop sign for the AI. Even if there are healers in your party, they'll never use their heal offensively. That said, once you reach it once on auto-battle, you can whip up a party to manually beat the boss, then skip it via wizard thereafter. I've been experimenting with my party some more. Currently I'm liking three Healers, a Thief, and a Knight. If someone doesn't get one-shot, you can pull things back from the brink very quickly, and the Thief and Knight can put their special abilities to good use even on autopilot. And the Healers may not have much attack power on their own, but you can easily fix that with gear. I'm currently favoring having one Healer loaded for maximum MP, the other Healers loaded for attack power (at least one using the sleep-inducing weapon I forget the name of, then Forks when I run out of those), the Thief with the gold-generating equipment, and the Knight focused on HP and damage reduction. I give everybody but my second healer Hero's Blood, give that Hero a Magic Potion, and give the Thief a Gold Magnet for her second slot. Mind you, that's the party I actively control when I'm ready to make the push past a boss. For autorunning early levels, I replace one Healer with a Ragezerker in the first slot (for maximum attack boosting). Once I get past the level 500 bump with the active-control party, if I want to grind the upper levels I replace the Magic Potion (which the AI won't use) with another Hero's Blood. So far it's working well! e: Locke Dunnegan posted:Clearing floors 498 and 499 with four healers and something else is a chore. My active party above can get the job done without too much difficulty. Yes, you won't be doing damage to the boss terribly quickly, given the need to heal, but if you gear everyone but one Healer offensively, you'll cut through those nine floors before swiftly. Then it's just a matter of continuing to burn down her adds; I tried leaving one alive so she wouldn't summon more, but she hits harder than they do, so best to force her to keep summoning. You could also gear the healers for more magic damage (incidentally, does that also buff their healing amount?), and you can probably skip the Hero's Blood on all but your first Healer, letting you equip things that'll improve your damage output.

Snowmankilla posted:Where is the Ragezerker unlock? I was hoping for the 100k unlock but no cigar. Also do merchants do anything? Merchants have a passive that earns you more money and a special ability called 50/50 that will, half of the time, cut a mob's HP in half. Unlike other special abilities, it's fueled by gold, 500 a shot. I haven't earned their relic yet, so I don't know what that brings to the table. I haven't used them at all, actually. I guess their ability would be useful against later bosses?

I've hit a brick wall in the form of the level 700 boss. His first action is to eliminate all non-Fighters from the group, and while I can get four Fighters through the previous floors with Healer backup, they can't out-damage him. I'm guessing the solution is to stack evade until he can't actually touch them, so where do I grind that kind of gear?
