In many respects, it seems to have understood the crashing issue and dealt with it appropriately. People giving it one-star reviews for crashing don't address the fact that in combat, you are back at the beginning of your turn and the text-based cutscenes are speedy and are mostly can be skipped. From an iPhone 4s, it controls fairly well as well.

Well, dealing with it appropriately would involve figuring out why the crashes occur and fixing them, but credit is due for implementing a frustration-minimizing workaround.

How does Blockhead compared to Deepworld? I like that Deepworld has you sharing the world with tons of other players in a persistent world.

Also I need help remembering a game.

It's in a FPS perspective. Sci fi genre. The art style has been described as being like an acid trip.

You work your way through lots of levels. Its considered to be difficult. The game has a ton of items that are upgradeable and customizable.

I've never seen something like that in the US (but I don't really hang out in casinos much). It looks sort of like a slot machine with a few random gimmicks on top, is that what it is?

It's too bad Critter Crunch was removed from the App Store. It's the game Capybara made before Clash of Heroes, and its gameplay is nearly identical to Clash of Heroes' battles, but it was made specifically for the platform instead of sloppily ported and it didn't have all the extraneous fluff that gets in the way of the battles.

Oh interesting, I thought it was just a generic JRPG with a slightly-different-than-usual-pokemon take. Is it any good as a roguelike, or is it all pretty low key?

I haven't played it in a while but I remember liking it a lot. It's aimed at kids so it's obviously less complex and punishing than your average roguelike, but it's pretty fun. It's very similar to Shiren the Wanderer.

Deadly Bullet is a game where you control a bullet that flies around in a dystopian future city and slays bad dudes! Wreck crates and barrels to collect some extra XP, chain kills for combo multipliers and snatch powerups that someone has left just laying around on the streets. The soundtrack is great and the graphics remind me of the first GTA games, combined with some Hotline Miami.

I have to admit, the first thing in this post that caught my interest was the blue and pink buttons in the video thumbnail. Anything with that color scheme is worth a look for me.

What are the currently recommended free games, especially RPGs? I just got an iphone.

If you're into racing games, I've been playing the absolute poo poo out of Real Racing 3. I balked at it for a while because I heard the freemium stuff was extremely onerous, but once I actually tried it out it wasn't nearly as bad as I was led to believe. There are some timers for delivering/repairing/upgrading cars that require premium currency to bypass, but as long as you're not bent on playing it for an hour or more at a stretch you'll never need to spend money. I've put about 20 hours into it so far without spending a cent, and I'm having a blast.

God damnit, having two separate versions for iPad and iPhone is bullshit. If I pay for one, I ought to have access to the other. I can't believe that Apple allows them to do that because it's really turning me off. For a while they really tricked me into thinking they had an actual uniform cross-device platform going on. :argh:

Fortunately this kind of thing seems to have mostly fallen out of favor; it's been a while since I saw a new cross-platform game release that wasn't universal.

Anyone else getting these? I thought I'd be immune from the worst issues with an ipad 4 but apparently not.

I didn't have a problem with "Sweet's Girl" but I have experienced a lot of glitchy audio in cutscenes on my 5C. Hopefully they'll patch it soon; I just wish Apple would implement delta updates for apps because I don't want to download the entire 2 GB or whatever again.
