It being an ICS thing is pretty likely, major changes and all that. precision posted:It seems random as poo poo, too. My phone can run Minecraft but not Dungeon Raid? Given that it runs so so badly on both my tablet and my phone even though it's available for both, I'm going to go with "The dev for the Android version of Minecraft sucks". It probably shouldn't be available for my phone at all since it seems like RAM is a large part of the problem. Thermopyle, can you specify things like proc speed, number of cores or RAM?

Holy poo poo you guys aren't kidding about how good Where's My Water is. I thought "oh, cute casual puzzle game? Like Angry Birds then?" but wow it is so much better than that. Seriously, it should be mandatory for anyone with a smartphone.

Play it on a tablet, it's even better (finer control to scratch that perfectionist itch).

Have any of you heard of this game called Dangerous? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYytg9xp3DM quote:Dangerous is a 3D living world space sandbox combat RPG with an epic story. I just played through the tutorial in the lite version and could not throw $5 at them fast enough. It's basically X3 on your phone. Combat seemed easiest using autopilot/target functions, which makes it play a lot like EVE, but there's also support for tilt control and on-screen d-pad so you can dogfight too. Taking a look at what's available in the game I was just flat out astounded, for instance they stole the 'hire NPC pilots to go work for you trading things so you make money without doing anything' from the X series. The plot doesn't seem fantastic but honestly I barely care. Space dogfights in my spaceship with space pirates in space on my space phone!

That game looks pretty neat, but parts of its sales pitch just lose me. I might still try out the demo, but being a space dood wooing women isnt the sort of adventures I'm looking for.

quote:"This game is basically an Eve Online clone ... Galaxy on Fire 2 while a fun game is child's play compared to [Dangerous]" - va2k0r on TouchArcade forums Well if va2k0r gives it thumbs up then it MUST be a great game. My first thought was how similar it looks to Galaxy on Fire 2 which I enjoyed immensely, so I'll definitely be trying this one out. I hope it's longer than GoF2.

When I was looking at that the other day, I glazed after "Along the way" ("gently caress this poker poo poo, just look at all my cards!") and they lost me completely at the romance bit. Glad to hear that someone made it past the stupid write-up and it turns out to be good, I'll give it a shot.

Anyone else playing Rage of Bahamut? It's a pretty neat card game with weekly challenges and battles where you can team up (or go alone) with your crew to defeat dragons and bunnies (??). I find the interesting thing about the game is that.. if you have doubles.. you can use them to evolve each other into more powerful cards for your deck. If you don't fancy that, you can sacrifice your doubles to "enhance" cards in your deck to increase the attack power even more. The art style is really awesome, and I think I've heard the game originated in Japan. It's free to downloading with IAP card packs which aren't totally necessary to enjoy the game. The game gives you enough chances to get free card packs and rare cards through logging in daily, making posts on Twitter, and advancing in team or solo events such as hunting down treasure or murdering Dragons. Here are some sample cards:  You can't get more metal than a loving KNIGHT riding a ARMORED RAPTOR into battle. My referral code is BOC24649 which gives you a special rare card and free rupies for inputting it (it obviously gives me a free rare too) so if anyone decides to give it a shot.. right after the tutorial just throw my code in. I'd really appreciate it.

Splizwarf posted:Thermopyle, can you specify things like proc speed, number of cores or RAM? Nope. You can kind of do it in a roundabout way by blacklisting every device known to Google and then only allowing devices that you know meet your requirement. The problem with that is that you have to keep up with the thousands of devices out there and all the new devices that get released. Of course, given the problems people have with games not being compatible with their device, I wouldn't be surprised if thats what some devs do...

Incompatibility chat: If you root and change the dpi of your display you may find yourself erroneously flagged as incompatible - we've had a couple of those with Sentinel 3. We've also had a couple of odd cases where it seemed "every device known to Google" wasn't comprehensive - we hadn't blacklisted them but the Market didn't know what the gently caress.

In the old thread someone was asking how to complete level 6 in Radiant Defense. Here's how I did it: I have purchased the money boosting tower (I don't think it's possible without it). You need to get one of those down in your kill zone ASAP in order to have a chance. It's possible to do this by the first level of pink blobs (level 2 or 3). The path should be : code:If you ever finish a level and saw that a bunch of enemies got killed outside your kill zone, replay it and either add a money booster or more towers. I finished with over $3k.

Good thing I tried Dangerous Lite before buying it because the thing auto-crashes on start up for me (Galaxy Nexus). I sent the report in to them, so I'll try it again in a month or two I guess.

Jet Ready Go posted:Whats the deal with Mobage? Well, just speaking from recent experience with the Tiny Tower conversion they did, I can already tell I hate them. For one, it's their useless social media functions they force on you. For two, stripping out all useful social media functions. For three, useless notifications that there is no way to stop ("One of your residents updated their Bitbook!"). For four, stripping out all useful notifications ("Your floor can be restocked."). For five, no offline functionality like the original and a slow network that damages micro-gaming. For six, the port is just plain broken, laggy, and generally awful. That's just the one game, though, so there may be other reasons.

I uninstalled and reinstalled it and had the same problem, however since it's a small download and I'm on wifi anyway I tried one last thing - I uninstalled and reinstalled, but this time I refused to let the phone screen turn off while it was downloading and now it works. So their installer blows chunks and doesn't auto-resume/thinks the download is done when your screen turns off it seems. Or at least it does on this phone. I've been playing it for about 15 minutes now and it's not bad but there's just something about the controls and combat that's kind of bothering me. I can't put my finger on it but it just seems unresponsive or something without actually lagging. Gonna keep playing though, maybe it's just the nature of the beast.

I emailed the machinarium dev, they apologized, I shouldn't have been able to buy it with a 800x480 device. Apparently they're changed the permissions & promised to try & rectify it in the next update. This is fine by me as I'd prefer to play it than get a refund.
