We're glad you could play SQIV. As usual, you've been a real pantload.
One of my favorite types of Defense games are the ones that go through a winding preset path on different "levels." One of my favorite games of this genre is GRave Defense HD - It's got a lot of humor and if you love zombies and defense games it's a no brrrrrrrraaaaaaaaiiiinnnnnnnn-er (sorry)

Also the same developers got the Night of the Living Dead license and used their GRave Defense engine to make it NOTLD themed. It's got sweet sound clips from the movie such as "They're coming to get you Baaaaarbara"

Edit: Also really nice job, OP

Night of the Living Dead is public domain actually, not sure if that applies to video games as well, but the movie itself is not copyrighted.

I'm pretty sure Sentinel 3: Homeworld is a goon made game, or at least a goon works for the team. It's also a really great tower defense game.

What's with the lack of game categories in the game store? I mean, Racing has it's own category but basically everything else is lumped into Action or Casual. How hard could possibly be to add new categories.

Don't see it listed in the OP, but for $1 Gurk 2 is pretty darn fun. It's definitely got the "oldschool PCRPG feel" down.

(Don't let the fact that Gurk 1 is pretty boring discourage you.)

Ok just finished categorizing the other half of the list I put together. At some point I'll try and organize them a little better but I think this'll help alleviate the 'hey I just got a phone what are some good games' posts.

Now I think I'm going to reinstall JA2 from GOG and see about porting it to my phone. I wonder if 1.13 will work?

Apparatus is an excellent game for those of you who like to build machines out of components. Most puzzles can have multiple solutions, depending how creative (lucky) you get.

I want to like this game, but I'm so unbelievably bad at it. I got it during the 10 cent sale at the end of last year, and I hit a brick wall after like 10 or so levels.

First, I didn't know Refraction was made by a goon and I got it through the AOTD from Amazon. I must say, that game is a nice brain burner on the later levels.

Another suggestion for FPse. I used PSX4Droid 3.0.7 Beta when it was free and FPse worked much better than PSX4Droid. I believe the P4D that is on Play is the same one that I got for free.

Here are the video settings options of FPse Software, FPse OpenGL Render and PSX4Droid.


Sentinel 3: Homeworld($2.99) - Requires a LOT of time on your hands to play the Endless levels. To get about to wave 100 requires about 2 to 3 hours when playing at fast speed for me. After getting to wave 250+ on hard mode, I only gained about 40% of a level and I was already in the low teens. There are in-game incentives that you can buy to save time essentially. Unlock all the weapons, weapon slots, turrets, turret slots and drones($0.99). Unlock all abilities and level to max for ONE of the two commanders($0.99 x 2). Unlock all levels for the campaigns you have unlocked($1.10). Finally, you have to purchase the second campaign as it is not included($1.99). If you buy nothing but the game it's only $3. If you want to save as much time as possible and just play the game however you want to it costs $9.05. Whatever you do though, it's a fun game.

Edit: Question about emulators. I know emulators aren't illegal, but how come someone can sell the PS1 bios on the market(It's not being sold by Sony)?

Throwing out a kudos for Lil' Kingdom. Basically a Tiny Tower clone style game, but it's reversed (you build a dungeon rather than a tower). The graphics and animations are fantastic and it runs very well on my GN, and it's cute as hell.


VVVV I actually am enjoying this one more than TT, just because of the incredibly entertaining graphics and style.

poo poo, right after this thread gets me started on Tiny Tower last night? :argh:

e: ugh, nevermind, it's put out by Glu, and they're usually real assholes about making their games unplayable after a little while unless you buy some of their currency. I actually came in originally to post about how pleasing it was that Tiny Tower's not pushy about being a freemium game. Not being lovely about it makes me honestly a lot more likely to end up buying some scrip down the road. With Glu games it's usually very clear that you're going to have to pay just to get by when the honeymoon ends.

The game runs really really fluid and smooth on the Galaxy Nexus. The controls are intuitive and work well. I see myself spending some time on this one.

The trick to me actually understanding what I was doing is knowing that all your buildables exist in 2 planes - the rear one is generally the one that the balls and goals exist in, and moving things into the "near" plane allows you to pin items, rather than just nail them together.

If you're already down with that concept, then I guess the game just isn't for you.

Unfortunately it's a little short, but it's otherwise a really great game. It keeps introducing new gameplay mechanics at the right pace, a pivotal part of game design that a ton of mobile developers miss. Gunman Clive and Bean's Quest are definitely the best original games for Android side-scroller fans.

can anyone recommend me a good management style game (Tiny Tower, Farming, etc..) game that has more interaction with you friends? Me and my roommates are looking for something that we can actually kind of play together, be it raiding each others towns or whatever. I'm open to any style or genre actually as long as it's competitive and has a lot of social options.

People usually just sprinkle 'RPG' all over their description, so at least you can find it by searching.

I'm surprised there's not at least an 'Adventure' category. Where is an RPG supposed to go now, Brain? Action? Puzzle?

edit: Just checked and Delver is sitting at #77 in the 'Top Paid Arcade & Action' list, sandwiched between a football game and a racing game. An RPG, a sports game, and a racing game all in the same genre list. That makes sense.

I finally bit the bullet and downloaded the Amazon App Store. Sadly the game section is considerably better than Google's. It has tons of categories including RPG. I just find the game on amazon and then d/l it on the play store.

I didn't see Nemo Picross in the list. It's a logic puzzle game, aka pixel puzzle. It's free, heaps of playtime & I've been addicted to it since the day I got it and at least several other goons love it too. After I finished all the puzzles, I reset it and am doing the whole thing again, in a different mode. Not sure what I'll do with my life after I've finished again:ohdear:

I've also suggested Bizzle in the past, it's a cute Korean block dropping style game. Free. I think goons would enjoy it, but not sure if anyone listened to my past recommendation.

You'll play nonomatic, probably the best picross on the entire platform, especially if you've got giant sausage fingers. It comes with a decent number of puzzles, and the puzzle packs are all rather large and worth the money.

Lil Kingdom seems to be exactly what I wanted out of Tiny Tower (tiny tower without the mobage or developers downright hostile towards the android platform).

Terraria is getting ported to Android

quote:

Now Terraria is being ported by a developer named Brad Gearon who is planning to bring the hit indie game over to Android. This Android version could end up being an official port of the game since Brad seems to have gotten permission to release it publicly on the market without fear of violating copyrights or anything of that nature. We are assuming he got this permission from the original Terraria developers.
...
So far the game looks like it is coming along quite nicely. The controls are all onscreen and so far the visuals look spot on when comparing them to the PC version. One interesting feature we found through reading the blog posts on Brad's site is that the game will be synced with Dropbox for world and player saved game storage.
...
As of right now we do not know when Terraria for Android, as we are calling it, will be released onto the Google Play store or for how much. We have contacted the developer and when we hear back with additional details then we will post an update.
