So apparently Galaxy of Pen and paper doesn't support 18:9 resolutions and clips off important buttons and UI elements.
Next time I'll remember to leave a review before I refund the game, didn't realise you didn't get a chance to leave feedback when you hit the refund button.

I have no idea why I thought it would be a good idea to spend the last $5 of a Play gift card on a Pokemon Quest upgrade. That game has sat unopened on my phone for multiple weeks now and I have zero ambition to start playing again.

This is kinda neat, but very poorly translated. Art is nice, but the gameplay is really simplistic. There's a prerelease event starting today, so I'll probably stick with it though that and see how it ends up.

e: also, it's registering my taps like a half inch below my actual tap on my pixel 2 xl :argh:

Does pixel2 have a non-16:9 screen? If so does it have app compatibility options?

It's buried pretty deep in the settings on my oneplus, but there's a setting to force particular apps to 16:9 that fixes that issue.

Years ago, I remember playing a word puzzle game on my phone that was basically hangman, but every time you guessed a word, it would unlock more nodes on a tree graph. The connected nodes would be words that were related to each other somehow. It's been so long that I can't remember the name of the game.

Does anyone remember what the heck it was called or if it's even available for download anymore? I'm pretty sure it was Android.

I vaguely remember something like that, can't remember what it was called.

I just wish I could get the screen to work properly.. It's really annoying right now. I wonder if it's because I'm on an LG G7. The screen is really tall and narrow for some reason, it might be trying to do the full height resolution but that doesn't jive with the width. Can anyone think of a fix?



I refunded a game before I found it, but my OnePlus has an option under "display" to turn on compatibility mode for specific apps.
I'm pretty sure it's a standard android thing, it just forces the app to run in 16:9

They're not similar games at all, despite them both being card games about cultists. Cultist simulator is open; you can do whatever you want with your cards at pretty much any time, no turns, but various actions have cooldowns and such, or take up a slot for a given amount of time.

I meant is it the same developers/designers

I read the translation is bad. How bad is it? I had to drop Buriedbornes because having untranslated text annoys the hell out of me.

There's a few spelling mistakes, one or two cards have descriptions that are a bit ambiguous (and disappointing when you work out what they actually meant) and a couple of cards and abilities that overflow their text boxes.

Generally the translation is good though

Also what's the generally most efficient strategy? I've mastered Squire Swords after the first "free" upgrade to them and have only spent one research scroll on Aiming Swords.

There isn't really anything you can do that doesn't progress you
You'll eventually complete all the low level recipies, but the important thing is to maximise shop throughput. Discount cheap items, enchant and surcharge expensive ones (enchants don't count towards surcharge) to maximise enchantment values.

Spend gems on early shop expansions or craft slots to accelerate you, they are the key limitations. Probably not particularly efficient to spend gems on things you can already buy - you can convert gems to about $400k each later using the market (although the upcoming patch is gonna mess with the market meta)

Early on you can also probably still make way more money selling on the market than to customers so if you have an upgrade to buy you should forgo the shop xo for a bit and sell things there

Importantly you can also game the king visits with "king bait" - lock anything green+ except the expensive item and he will always take it (5x value). You can also generally buy up to blue enchants on market to increase the value of your prospective kingbait item

Card Quest is a great tactical card game. I've spent many many hours with this one and never seen a single ad. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.winterspring.cardquest&hl=en_US&gl=US


Night of the full moon is anothrer great deck builder I keep coming back to.
It seems like there's a lot to buy (each new class is a buck) but clearing the base story and then each class will take you quite a few hours each. Each class is a full new card pool and have a unique mechanic/theme. It takes 7 runs at an hour or so each (if done in one sitting) to clear a class.

No ads is like $3 and definitely makes the game faster but all the ads are actually optional like doubling boss cash rewards or rerolling chests (although not watching them does make the game a bit harder)
