I don't know if anyone else is playing EA Sports UFC Mobile but I wonder if anyone has managed to successfully execute a takedown in a fight? The QTE for it seems almost impossible to land, and I was wondering if there's some kind of trick I'm missing.

Otherwise I'm finding it to be a surprisingly decent game, though it probably could do with a create a fighter mode.

It looks like the original Kingdom Rush has gone from a premium app to free. The game has always had IAPs but it looks like nothing else has been added due to the price change (well, not from what I can gather anyway).

Just in time for the console version to be released three weeks ago, the mobile version of Mortal Kombat X is out of soft launch for Android.

Also, there's a new Humble Mobile Bundle out! The games this round are:

The Last Express
Spaceteam Premium
Tilt to Live 2
Monument Valley (beat the average)
Blek (beat the average)

Pretty good stealth shooter CounterSpy is on sale for 99 cents. Monument Valley is also on sale for 99 cents, and Icewind Dale for just over $4.

The devs behind Goat Simulator have also put out a spin-off of their game called GoatZ for anyone who wished Goat Simulator needed more zombies.

How is Seabeard's IAP?

Typical F2P dual currencies of coins/pearls. You can get a handful of each by logging in each day. There's also a starter bundle that also comes with an elf outfit for around $2.

There's also an interesting implementation of an energy system: when you travel between islands you can either choose to fast travel for free or play a minigame that takes up one energy but gets you some rewards.

How much like Animal Crossing is this? If my wife were to get this game, is there a lot of interactivity between other players?

From what little I can gather you can visit their island, post messages on their bulletin board and swap items. You have to connect through Facebook I believe though, and doesn't become available until a bit into the game.

I'm still very early in but compared to Animal Crossing there's very clear cut objectives to complete, and I've spent most of my time so far island hopping to recruit people and fix up a few things in my village. Aurally and visually its super derivative though.

What about the npcs? I take it there probably isn't a vast number of them who come and go and can be befriended?

That would sell the game even more to me, but hey, I've downloaded it, checking it out now. Is there any way to connect with people other that Facebook? I have no problem with using that, but it'd be nice to be able to add non-FB friends, too.

I just unlocked the friends feature and it looks like FB is the only option, sorry. All the NPCs I've come across so far are only there to give me quests.

Snake Rewind, an updated take on Snake from the programmer of the original Nokia game is out on the Play Store.

Knights of Pen and Paper 2 is also out. There's a different developer behind this installment, and apart from a graphical upgrade it seems it might be a bit more of the same.

I should point out though that unfortunately you'll rarely find any free giveaways on the Play Store itself because Google apparently doesn't allow publishers to temporarily set their apps to free, which is odd since Play does this all the time with movies and music.

Does anyone offhand know how to transfer saves between phones for Hungry Cat Picross? I tried signing up on the Tuesday Quest forums to ask but I have to wait for my account to be approved, so I'll ask here in the meantime. :(

I've used Helium for a long time to back up and transfer saves between devices, and I've had very few issues with it during that time. You don't need root but you do have to connect your phone(s) via USB to a PC program to enable it.

I had gotten a few back up failures when I first started using it but I haven't gotten any in a long time now. The app still has its quirks, like not being able to estimate the size of the back up, which for some games I found out can be well over a hundred MBs (most are less than 10MBs though).

I saw this game called Max Ammo on the trending charts and decided to check it out. It's a cover shooter with simplified tap and shoot controls and cartoony graphics, kind of a bit like Major Mayhem from a top down perspective. It seems pretty fun so far.

So way back when there was talk of having a 10000000 save giving you something in YMBAB, is that a thing still?

I just reinstalled 10000000 and restored a completed save and it looks like it doesn't do anything. I didn't poke around much though.
