Don't think it's a sequel, it's just another developer aping the original. It's unpolished enough I dropped it in favor of other games.

Pocket Mine is surprisingly enjoyable and the grind to make new cards is decently interesting, though it's mostly about crafting chests together. I find it doubtful that a rainbow chest is worth 5 legendary ones, but I'll go for it anyway.

I've also only ever seen the Mummy, Santa, and Digitron 3000. Is there a prerequisite that I have to meet before seeing Greedy Goblin or any of the other ones?

Ah I thought it was the same guy. I played to about level 20 and it's alright but it's absolutely nowhere near as good as Dungeon Raid.

My high score in Flappy Bird is 7. I can't decide if the game is terrible or brilliant.

The pinball arcade is a great game if not a little cumbersome on the iphone. The table list is huge now and while each table is individual iap there's a free table of the month every month. My one bitch is that using the touch controls on the iphone sometimes blocks my view of the table and that tilting for me is less precise than on the other platforms. I'm basically just mad I have tpa poo poo purchased on xbox though.

So I threw some money at osu! because I've always thought an ouendan style game was perfect for ios but I'm interested in comparing, what other music games do people recommend?

Cytus is another amazing ouendan-type game with a ton of free songs. Deemo, by the same developers, is also pretty rad.

Anti is generally a prefix meaning not. No one at the party enjoys football. Backbreaker perhaps though. Does it realistically model spinal injuries ruining someone's ability to generate a living?

QBasic Gorillas also paved the way for Scorched Earth. The best game to play with your friends and ensure some fighting breaks out when you :airquote:accidentally:airquote: fire off a Death's Head at some teammates.

Newest version has cross-platform multiplayer for Android & iOS as long as you play over wifi and not bluetooth-- it's touted as being in beta, though, so not sure how well it woks.

Between the puzzle-matching runs, you’ll be exploring a strange land in a choose-your-own-adventure style, collecting resources to build the titular vessel, and capturing monsters and recruiting allies to crew it. You’ll be able to import your save game from 10000000, which will unlock “special benefits”.

drat now I have to replay 10000000...but I'll love every second.

I guess it's about perspective. I looked at it and thought "Oh hey, this is a pretty good iteration on Clash of Clans" rather than getting hung up on "This is a really crummy version of Dungeon Keeper". People are ripping it to shreds because they are comparing it to some theoretical iOS version of Dungeon Keeper which doesn't exist that they would TOTALLY pay $10 for no REALLY. But looking at it in the marketplace on it's own merits.. it's not awful. EA have brought it on themselves for using the licence though because it begs the comparison.

Yes I thought that too, both are really bad games. Obviously this is a perspective thing, but I am tired of games like that, it's been done and now it's a mad cash grab to saturate the market. We had a legitimately good IP to explore on the mobile market and instead they made a thing that already exists.

I mean that's why I'm mad at videogames anyway.

We could look at the game on its own merits, but by choosing to use the Dungeon Keeper brand, EA hoped to benefit on at least some level from what people associate with that brand in addition to the merits of the game itself. As such it kind of follows that people familiar with the brand will complain if the brand is used deceptively. It's not really a fault of the consumer if they're presented with something that uses a name they trust, but delivers on nothing they associate with that name.
