I've been addicted to Super Auto Pets, and now I want something else that is similar in some ways for under the $8.40 I have in Google Play Bucks. Something strategic, turn-based where I can look up or put it away at literally any time without losing anything, low to mid on battery hog (I'm on a Pixel 3a XL), and very replayable. It doesn't need to be an auto-battler or multiplayer like SAP, I just gave it as an example mostly for the ability to put it down and continue whenever I want.

Slay the Spire if you havent gotten it already.

Honestly authentic remakes to all the old popcap stuff would be gold.

Id love a new PvZ and Peggle.

Pawnbarian is out on Android.

A neat rogue like using chess pieces as your movement.

Its a free demo with iap to unlock the entire thing.

Anyone have reccs for games to play that are very pause friendly and don't require too much thinking? Aka, to play while laid out/semi-conscious with covid.

I was thinking I'd go through the kairosoft catalog - haven't played one since dungeon village - but wasn't sure which to try out.

Troll Patrol or Pawnbarian. Both are vertical, one handed turnbased games with enough thinking to keep you conscious but dumb enough that you can be out of it.

Kairo's stuff is great tho.

I have no idea if it's any good yet because I just started but Paragon Pioneers seems like a cool mix between Anno and an idler. It looks like a match 3 thing from the images but it's just tapping on tiles to manually collect resources for supply chains.

Ive been playing it and thats my impression of it too. Its quite slow, or maybe im just incredibly inefficient.

Is the Xcom2 port good?

I've been playing it. The gameplay is decent and the games are fast, but the card acquisition system is just loving idiotic and probably going to kill the game before it even actually releases.

I saw Stacklands show up in the new top charts for games on Android and got excited but it looks like this is literally an unrelated dev porting the game to android shittily and then charging money for it on top of serving tons of ads once you get in the game? This "nova.pig" developer also has "Peglin 2" available for purchase for $4. At least "Crazy ArrowLegend" is not just called "Archero". Uh, how can they get away with this?

Thanks for this, I almost picked it up thinking it was official.

God I need a port of stacklands

I think he's referring to the level 11 elite that does 4 swipes, all the same direction, centred around the player.

Hes definetly ended a few runs for me, I've had success either outrunning the swipes, or having so much armor and health along with some sort of regen that I don't care.

Legends of Runeterra showers you in free cards. I have a nearly complete collection with zero spent. It really shows up the money grubbing bullshit in other tcgs.

On a different note, Dawncaster is one of the better mobile deckbuilders I've played. It can't touch the best like StS or Vault of the Void, but it's fun and playable in portrait.

Looking forward to the VotV mobile port, along with Gordian Quest.

I think someone on here mentioned the existence of a Stacklands clone that wasn't just a rip off? If that rings any bells, please let me know the name of the game.

If you want to clear a level in LBAL then mining really seems the way to go, since the Amethyst + Dame combo is unbeatable, but once you unlock essences the game really does open up. I beat my last level with just omlettes by thousands of gold.

I just unlocked essences and they're great. Somehow ended up with Watermelons worth "x4" and just cruised to victory in a fruit cup.

Is there a way to get any significant amount of watermelons other than getting fertilizer and a shitload of seeds? Slotting them into Very Rare makes synergy with them pretty tricky, especially when their perk wants you to get multiples.

There was another essence that gave +2 Watermelons.

It was a pretty God run, so I'll be chasing that dragon for a while.

Got lucky in a game just now where I managed to get a Pirate, 3 king midas, 3 hex of midas, 3 wildcards and basically every turn the pirate is getting buffed. He's up to +300 now, and the wildcards are usually nearby too giving the same amount. It's very fun when you land on a powerful combo and are able to whittle your set down to exactly what is needed to make it flat out broken.

Edit: the item that lets you swap two symbols after every spin is really friggin good.





I tried to copy you, but never got a pirate... Thank God for the 2x Triple Coin essence otherwise I would have drowned in coins.

I liked LBAL but it feels like the game ends just as it gets interesting, and it takes a hair too long to get there.

I really thought I did well with my Flower/Sun's bullshit where I had the flowers 5x value by themselves and the "Sun always adjecent" essence but it's nothing compared to you maniacs.

Anyone have recc's for pass-and-play games that are pretty light/simple but still fun? My partner and I want to play something on plane rides together, but she doesn't like playing Scrabble with me because I have all the cheap words memorized. Ideally no strategy games or card games. Most of what I'm finding out there are tactical.

My wife and I enjoy Ticket to Ride, as I will go for the game winning strategies while she just tries to interfere as much as possible and then win.

I meant to say "extravagant and unnecessary strategies" but I hadn't had my morning coffee yet so brain no work good.

But yes, you would be correct.

It requires some android file knowhow, but you might try one of the many modded campaigns people have put together for pvz2. Other than that, I'm not sure there's anything among the 800 billion tower defense games on the play store that quite nails the same pacing and positional focus that it does.

Thanks for this, I had no idea it existed.

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.

I've just tried buriedbornes for the first time. My fighter guy was one shotting dudes, then I fought a guy who wouldn't die, then he did die. Then I fought a minotaur, died a bunch but didn't die? Then I killed the minotaur. Then I had to butcher a body, of which I can have 3. Now some weird guy is giggling at me.

I'm more confused than when I started.
