Thanks to whoever suggested Pharaoh's Run. I hate slots in casinos, but the lack of actual money at stake here and the obviously more favorable pay outs make this nice to have around. And the progression mechanic works well.

I just finished The Room because it was on sale, and that was really great. The ending was really really anti-climactic though. The game does a great job of creating a spooky atmosphere in a game whe very little moves without your input. Certainly worth a buck. Is The Room for iPhone different?

Butt Soup Barnes posted:So I've never played pinball but I saw that Star Wars one linked a few pages back and decided to give Zen Pinball a try. Poke around in the options. I don't have zen installed right now, but I know they have table specific instructions. If you have specific questions you can try your luck over in the Pinball thread (although most of the discussion there centers around physical pinball and The Pinball Arcade.) If anyone stopped playing it because they ran out of things to do, Fairway Solitaire changed their daily course offerings - there is now free two daily courses per day (each with an associated challenge) and you can play old ones up to a week back free too. There is still one paid daily course per day, too.

I really like Paranormal, and Wolverine is solid. Goons also like Blade and Excalibur. I'm not a huge fan of the former, and I've never played the latter, but there you are. Feel free to ask in the Pinball thread for more questions. We mostly talk The Pinball Arcade (which is awesome and you should get it right now because its all pretty much better than Zen's offerings) and physical pinball, but people play Zen still.

Apocron posted:I'm currently trying to decide between the iPad and iPad mini. Is there a significant in terms of gaming besides screen size? Say I wanted to play Avadon would the mini suffer in terms of gameplay? It's the same resolution(so you're not missing anything UI wise), and Apple's guidelines tell developers to make app buttons on the iPad the size such that they would be iPhone sized buttons on the mini. So if you can tap on an iPhone, you can tap on an iPad mini.

MooCowlian posted:Are there any decent JRPGs that won't take up as much space on my ipod as chaos rings and aren't too expensive? I'm kind of bored of endless runners, and want something a little more in depth when I need to waste time. I don't know what you consider "not too much space" or "too expensive", but Lunar: Silver Star Story Touch is a great port of SSSC for $7. Also, if you haven't played it for some dumb reason, The World Ends With You is certainly more expensive than you were hoping at $18, but its literally the best thing Square-Enix has done in, like, a decade, so it really deserves the money.

Corridor posted:Oh hey, you're right. When I was filling the gauge with only MPP, the red fraction was tiny, but as soon as I started getting BPP, the red bar shot up to fill like half the bar. I guess the bar only shows the PP in relation to one another. I think - and it's been a while since I've played - that the amount the bar is colored in is a cue for how much more experience is needed for evolution, and the color is a cue for what PP is dominant. Mingle counts 20 times for dominance, but mingle PP doesn't make a pin evolve 20 times faster.

Palpek posted:The real question is whether you like waiting for your car to be repaired (or pay $ to do it instantly) and bare with all the microtransactions: I can't speak to actually getting all the cars (I quit playing long before car prices seemed unattainable), but I can say that the repair wait times aren't a big deal. They screwed up balancing that mechanic in a way that's good for players, actually - as soon as you get 2-3 cars (a couple hours of play), you never have to stop playing while something repairs. You just switch to another car. This is really weird, because it means the most bullshit wait times are right at the start, which is when most free/IAP games are generous.

Coldrice posted:What separates the desktop experience from the mobile experience right now? I know its a port, but aquaria felt much stronger to me on iPad than on PC. Also, like I hinted above, I just picked up Papa Sangre again and that game is pretty platform specific - you can safely assume that people have headphones with them with iOS, since they're also iPods. Papa Sangre also freaks the poo poo out of me. I'm still curious what a visually impaired person thinks of it. EDIT: Also, I didn't see it mentioned that Zombies, Run! got its second season update. A handful of free episodes from Season 2, a UI overhaul, and now base management resembles a game just a little more. I love the game to death, just for the concept if nothing else. Also falls into the category of "good use of platform". If you don't run, there's also a companion app that takes you through a 5k training program. I think both apps are 50% off at the moment.

I don't understand the love. Every endless game (except for Super Hexagon, which is not coincidentally amazing) has the same problem - an incredibly boring intro while you play the easy part. RUA2 makes the problem worse by not even randomizing the course. And by making you play 3 times (with the boring start each time!) before you can clear out any missions. The game is pretty and fun to listen to, though.

Didn't the SWCCG collapse at least in part because they released some sort of bizarre cycle of cards that broke the game in half? Infiltrators? I remember the "art" was just shadows. Also Super Hexagon is incredible. I get why more endless games don't do it, but I wish more games started off at "firm punch to the genitals" difficulty.

Something that is turn based or played in short bursts? I really liked all the Kairosoft games before that turned stale. Puzzle and Dragon? Also, if you want the RPG experience without having to think to hard, the port of Lunar that's on the App Store is very well done. It's a console RPG, but its from, like, 12 years ago, so it's relatively simple. The magic system is "when you level sometimes you get a spell."

Feenix posted:I'm a Huyuuuge lover of awesome sound. I never played the first one but I'm kinda wanting Papa Sangre II. I'm about 5 stages into both the Nightjar and Papa 1. The only real jump scares are when you screw up and the death sound plays - its usually loud, and a bit grusome. But at the same time, you know if you're very close to something dangerous happening, so it never made me jump. That being said, the games can get sorta intense, if you're the sort who doesn't like that. Also, papa sangre - remember that a full turn of the dial is 90 degrees. This is important for backing up. I don't love playing the games, but I'm so in love with the concept that I keep buying them, just because I want to see them do well.

Buy Papa Sangre 2. It requires no knowledge of the first game, and they finally did the most intuitive thing possible by making the game controllable with the gyroscope. So instead of spinning a wheel on screen you have the option of physically turning. I'm not sure if its improvements they've made to their engine or that extra bit of immersiveness, but PS2 feels much better than the first one or The Nightjar. I'm rarely feeling frustrated about my deaths this time around.
