I enjoy the Simpsons and Family Guy city builder games. There's a lot of events with stuff that's buy only but they're not too bad about letting you actually do the events without paying a cent.

I gave up both of these games around the point where you had to wait a whole day for one minute of gameplay. That's fine for some people, but I just couldn't find the fun in it. I quit Clash of Clans and that Star Wars game for similar reasons though, so maybe it's just me.

Is anyone else having trouble with this? The website version tells me to install the Amazon app to buy the items, but the app version tells me to add the items to my wishlist, to buy and download them from my PC.

Are you using the website on your phone? Make sure you're using the desktop version of the site (menu -> request desktop site in Chrome).

Adventure Capitalist just pushed an update with two more 'levels', like making money on the moon and I don't know what the third is.

I was just about to uninstall it due to beating it tomorrow :(

I haven't opened that game in nearly two weeks. I bet I have a 900 quadrillion dollars waiting for me.

I've never had a location-based survey ask me to rate anything before. The standard template seems to be "When was the last time you visited [x location I was at an hour ago]?" followed by "How did you get there?" where the options are "walking," "driving," "biking," or "public transportation." Occasionally I'll also be asked to pick out where I've been recently from a list and then asked no followup questions.

Do you really get those the same day you visit the location? Mine always seem to be two days later.

Google Play has ratings now??

Nice. I don't see any way to filter out certain ones so it's not very useful. I wonder who is policing the ratings. I figured everyone would just mark their apps as Everybody or Teen, but Modern Combat 5 is indeed rated Mature.

I checked out the "New Family Fun" link on the front page of Google Play and apparently there is some kind of free app of the week in this new "family" section. I'm not sure if all of them are going to be apps by PBS Kids though, like the current one is.

This seems like a rather strange way to give away apps. It doesn't seem to tell you what the app is until you click the banner, which takes you straight to the install screen, and there doesn't seem to be any way to get to the app page from there, so if you want to know anything about the app, you then have to search for it.

A better comparison would be a TV show you don't actually watch.

A better comparison would be HGTV: you watch it when you're bored, or in the background while you do other stuff, but you don't go out of your way to watch it. It's interesting, but not fascinating.

So far, I'm pretty happy to stick with AdVenture Capitalist as my idle game.

I was really into this until I got to the moon. The moon was so disappointing that I gave up pretty quickly. Probably didn't help that I was busy playing The Witcher 3 in my spare time.

Interesting, but I gave up on the amazon free apps because I often found I couldn't play them without it connecting to the amazon store. Same reason I don't buy mp3s through them anymore either.

I thought Amazon's MP3s were DRM free. Why would you need to connect to anything in order to listen to music?

After playing through and almost getting 100% on Lara Croft GO (Just two achievements, which I don't really care about. All outfits unlocked though.), I guess I should pick up Hitman GO, huh?

I've played through Monument Valley almost exclusively on flights. However, the total of the game and its expansions may not be much more than 11 hours of content if you have excellent spacial relationship skills.

I don't recall Monument Valley and the expansion being much more than 3 hours worth of game.

What are people's current favourite poop-break games? Preferably something without a lot of IAP or grinding, just a game I can play for a few minutes at a time.

I have been enjoying Alto, especially watching the llamas slide down steep hills on their butts :3:

Someone recently mentioned Battle Cats so I started playing it again and it's still great. Also, this might be a temporary bonus thing, but I pretty quickly got two golden tickets in the game which led me to two rare cats which I was able to trade in for about 100,000 XP. Now I have super powerful cats.
