Just in time for this thread, I was notified by Apple that our big Bungle! v1.2 Music & Science content update is live! Click that link to see the changes but we've added eight new jobs, a new jobs tracker menu, and fixed a few small bugs.



If you like fun games and want to help support goon devs (ie: me) please check it out!

Also the floor moves up with you or...something. It's really strange.

Also I don't understand why he implemented Game Center but then didn't use it for achievements or leaderboards. Leaderboards especially take like five minutes to set up.

Whoah yeah I loved Raptor back in the day. The reviews claim the controls suck and the game has never been updated since original release so I'm wary though, is it playable?

I can't imagine it controls well. And landscape? Ugh.

It's called Rocket Rover and you play a dog with a jetpack. It's like Flappy Bird with guns, and a dog instead of a bird, and a jetpack instead of flapping. And there are robot cannons that try to shoot you down.

Three Rings, the guys behind Puzzle Pirates, was acquired by SEGA and their first game for them is Peggle Jungle Blast Super Monkey Ball Bounce! http://bit.ly/SMBBytAen

If the idea of Peggle with Super Monkey Ball characters appeals to you you'll probably dig it. It's pretty drat solid from what I can tell after a couple of levels.

I wonder how to get that 30 point average achievement. Is it even possible?

Yeah you have to get something like 25 longshots in a row and then probably die immediately. I got 20 in a row and did something stupid and ended with a 29 average.

What's it take for the achievement for getting the moon really, really mad? Just shooting it a fuckload? Not going for score I had 5 of those angry red things out and it looked pretty pissed but I still didn't get it.

No clue either. I'll have to do some experiments. Does shooting it fast make it angrier than waiting it out? More points angrier than less points, or the otherway around? Or completely irrelevant? :iiam:

Time for moon science!

I did it! So in order to unlock that achievement you have to hit the moon about 45 or 50 times and play kinda the opposite of how you would to get a good score. You'll know when you've done it because the moon gets so angry that it loving explodes and you actually get to a "YOU WIN!" state.

Poor moon. :saddowns:

There actually is a version of Retro City Rampage that will run on an NES. Brian Provinciano was sort of insane about it being as authentic as possible.

Fotonica & Kapsula = GET
Hyper Trip = Could be good maybe in the future if a patch zooms it out and fixes some really dodgy controls.

Edit for clarity.

Kapsula is pretty neat but man I wish they'd tone down the constant up and down motion of the tracks or save them for later to make it harder. Since the colors are mostly on the tops of the vehicles it makes hill climbs nearly impossible to judge what the hell is going on.

Kapsula: Vaguely soviet stock car racing with a twist. If you run your car against another, they stick together, and you have to swerve for two slots, not one. The cars you can stick to have colors. If you hit one of the same color, they vanish and you're back to just you. You can have multiple colors together at once (so you're taking up four of the seven lanes with a red,blue,grey(you),yellow block and have to match each, or one at a time. If you're connected to a yellow, and you hit a yellow with that yellow, everything connected to that yellow will fall away with it. This is very cool mechanic and I can't wait to get good at it. Time taken to recommend: 30 seconds.

Pulling it without a heads up is pretty lovely. If anything it's indicative of how Disney will probably treat the Star Wars IP and maybe the company's gaming assets for the future ie poorly.

See also: Pirates of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned from Propaganda Games and Split/Second and Pure from Black Rock. Disney has a history of abruptly canceling games and closing studios even if things seemed to be fairly well received or successful. That's just what they do (sadly).

And how do you expect users to use controllers if no software supports them? It's a stupid chicken and egg problem and it's definitely not the fault of end users. No one buys controllers because no games make them usable, no games implement controllers because no one owns them. Even the ones that do implement controllers tend to do a lovely job of of it (iCade support was always kind of crappy).

Basically if developers aren't going to address it on their own, Apple is going to have to enforce it or iOS controllers will never go anywhere.

I'd love to support it as soon as I make a game where it makes sense. Bungle! certainly can't use it and Drive to Hell theoretically could but it's a vertical scrolling game instead of horizontal so that's out.

I can't imagine supporting the controllers is any harder than doing controller support on the PC...which is honestly a giant pain in the rear end but once you do it the first time it gets easier.

Either find the restore purchases button or buy the thing again. A message will pop up saying you've already paid for it and then it'll be unlocked.

Note that this only works for non-consumable items. If you bought currency or something in a game it's toast but one-off permanent purchases are restorable.

If my experience is anything to go by almost nobody buys out of ads. I know devs with users that have payed literally thousands of rounds of their game over 3+ years (it's a dominoes app) and not bought out of ads for a few dollars. It's absolutely astounding.

Are these popup ads or those video ads, though? Like I could probably see myself bearing with popup ads if the game was just an arcadey dumb thing but the Golfinity ads are videos (15 seconds, 5 if you skip, then a popup) which honestly just made me delete the app after 3 holes. Like seriously I get that devs want to make money and I want them to be able to but gently caress you* if you think the way to do that is to frustrate your customer with no out.

Definitely my current favorite time waster. Just got a ghost, who makes the level dark, turns trees into gravestones, and there are dudes with lanterns wandering around who shake when you get near.



Edit: next one was Frankenstein, his level is in black and white with an old "film" effect (scratches and noise). There are lightning flashes, too. Even though it's basically just endless Frogger, I'm impressed with how well presented this game is.

You should hope to unlock Dark Lord. You get a rad fire effect and burnt trees spout lava.

And yeah for those who haven't experienced Terraria, the game is obtuse as hell and doesn't play all that great. The draw is the huge procedural worlds to explore and doing so with buddies. If you approach it expecting a good Metroidvania you're going to be massively disappointed.
