It's pretty cool. Don't forget to go to the main menu after you've been playing for a bit because you will have unlocked a whole new branch of puzzles.

Invisble Manuel posted:Are there any of the Playdek games that are actually good/fun in single-player mode? I don't think I'd play multi-player very often, if at all, so I'm hesitant, even at 99 cents. Does any particular title stand out, from an AI point of view? Ascension is fun single-player. Summoner Wars and Penny Arcade less so.

Nice hat-tip to Nimblebit in Pixel People. It's cute, but it's not the equal of Pocket Planes. There's literally no fail state, it's just a treadmill. The TouchArcade reviewer comes close to some self-awareness about this in the first paragraph of her review, then disregards the epiphany and hands it five stars.

Clocks posted:If we're going to be comparing things to TT/Pocket Planes, then I am pretty sure both of those have no "fail state." That's kind of the nature of these games -- you keep building things up and unlocking new things. If you want things blowing up or dying you can go play some FPS instead or something. I completely see where you're coming from, and I'm not trying to be acrimonious in differing. You like what you like, I like what I like, &c. That said, by definition, a game has to have a fail state, or at least challenge. I didn't bring up Tiny Tower because that one wasn't a game and didn't hold my interest at all. Pocket Planes has a couple of fail states though: 1) you run your airline into the ground with unprofitable routes (admittedly difficult) and 2) your flight crew doesn't win that week's challenge. Pixel People has none of that - it's not a game. I'm not saying that to be some kind of game chauvinist, I just want to explain why it doesn't appeal to me, and why I think it's odd that a games review website would give it a perfect score.

Fazana posted:Well after another few races my car was looking fairly beat up in all of the categories so I put it in for servicing for each part. The car will be ready to use again in 6 hours 14 minutes. I can of course use IAP currency to fix it now. You get 20 to start off with and I got 5 more for reaching driver level 2. It wants 14 currency points to remove 6 hours of repair time. Holy christ, RR3 sounds terrible. Is there at least a token $5 IAP you can buy to skip most of that bullshit?

I know it's been hinted at in the future, and I know about Star Command (which will never be released), but I really love FTL and would kill to get my fix on the go. Try Shifts: http://appshopper.com/games/shifts People at Pocket Tactics and at BGG have compared it to FTL. I don't personally see that connection but its a pretty sweet game.

ZoDiAC_ posted:What's the best city building sim? Sim City Deluxe looks broken in several ways. I installed it a ways back and the one type of road annoyed me, plus the water needs never settling down. There's a few that look like basically portals to shill in game content. There is no good citybuilder on ios yet. Tragic because the genre would work perfectly on a touchscreen.

Shalinor, you should give it a couple of weeks before you make any drastic changes. You launched in a tough week, there was like five or six other infinite runners launching last week, in a market already saturated with infinite runners. You've got some good buzz, give it and the reviews a chance to work.

People really like Dungeon Plunder so much? What am I missing? The combat got really repetitive really quickly, especially once I realised that all of the enemies are basically the same.

Abrakadaver posted:The SC forums are fairly quiet but the devs do seem to be listening to the criticisms so hopefully there will be some bamf patches before too long. The reason the Star Command forums are quiet is that the game has no replay value at all. What the hell is there to talk about? I know Touch Arcade's score inflation is just kinda the way it is but them giving SC a 4.5 out of 5 has still got me scratching my head.

The post in question: http://pockettactics.com/2013/06/17/flip-your-chryssalid-xcom-for-ios-hits-this-week/ I definitely want to know how limited the maps are. That was the PC version's biggest weakness. Brilliant game, though.

Star Command was one game that a lot of the big review sites just got straight up wrong. It's really repetitive and unfunny.
