Got "Detergents" on Spelltower and scored a ridiculous amount of points.

It is by far my favorite word game on the appstore.

[GeekyDad]

Anyone experience any song stutter while playing Cytus? It's expected that when Game Center loads up in the background for there to be some burps, but I was noticing it throughout an entire tune. Great game, but I'm hoping that's not a constant issue.

[Nelo Ice]

You guys are passing me only because I don't have all the updates and new levels... Yet :D Congrats! :)

I still can't decide on Bike Baron since I read in the other thread the controls just aren't very good once u reach the hardest levels. That and they need to have a quick full restart option like Trials HD.

Spelltower or WELDER? Which is the better word game?

Spelltower or WELDER? Which is the better word game?

I haven't been able to get into WELDER though many enjoy it. I love Spelltower, it's a must-buy.

[Cromulent_Word]

Spelltower or WELDER? Which is the better word game?

I'm a huge Spell Tower fan, and there's a new one coming on thursday called Puzzlejuice which is pretty darn rad too (it's tetris meets spell tower).

[Gaspode_T]

Welder is more like Bejeweled, Spelltower is more like Dungeon Raid...if that makes any sense.

Welder might be easier if you have a hard time searching for words in diagonals/weird directions. I like them both. I also like Jambalaya which focuses on speed of finding words, and has a thing that shows you what words you missed at the end. I haven't gotten the word game from the Canabalt devs but it seems to have high reviews.

[Jayayess1190]

Push Panic! re-release, free for a short time. Get it.

[Milla]

Still think you guys would make a good golf game.

We revisit ideas like this one now and then, so the fact that we haven't doesn't mean we won't.

Simple concept but I enjoy it.

[Jack Scofield]

Just dropping in to say that Drop7 is probably the best game released on the iPad/iPhone. I bought it when it was first released and I still play it to this day. So addictive and fun.

I know I'm probably preaching to the choir, but dear god this game is amazing. I've played it more than most recent console releases. Anyway, if you don't have this game, buy it now, yadda yadda.

[Dash Kappei]

Yeah, I'm up for changing it. Also, if I put together a list of all iCade compatible titles would you add it somewhere? I'm sure people are tired of searching out what works on it, plus the list on Touch Arcade isn't completely accurate.

Absolutely, I will link to your post in the OP so that you can keep updating it. Send me a pm when it's done

Never understood it. Tried to get into it based on all the hype. But it never caught on for me.

Oh definitely. Can't wait to give that one a shot. iPad has turned me into a puzzle lover for sure.

Makes the two of us. I have no idea what I'm doing, but it's fun!

[Dash Kappei]

Also guys, feel free to bring to my attention other specific iOS threads I (props to Flunkie for the idea) haven't put in that section of the OP.

[Sotha Sil]

Indeed! I'm already hooked.

I agree. I think it,s the game with the truest gameplay perfection.

[Jharp]

Fantasy Defense HD and Area 51 Defense are both free.

Too bad both are bad. Why do I keep trying other Tower Defense games, when TowerDefenseHD is already god of the gods-tier.

[KenOD]

Realistic Summer Sports Simulator is free now and nothing has entertained me more than watching others trying to figure out what to do with it.

What is the iCade?

Original style:

Current style:

Description from its Wikipedia article:

The iCade's input devices include an 8-way ball-top joystick and eight digital buttons. When placed inside the iCade, the iPad is positioned vertically, while a groove behind the inputs accommodates landscape-mode play. On the front of the device is a "coin slot", which lights up to show that the iCade is powered on, and flashes when its batteries are running low. Power can be sourced from either two AA batteries or an AC adapter. It is also possible to run an iPad docking cable through the underside of the iCade, in order to charge the iPad during play. Internally, the iCade is essentially a Bluetooth keyboard—the joystick and buttons are simply mapped to 24 different standard keys. Since the iPad natively supports Bluetooth keyboards, it is able to receive inputs from the iCade without any requirement for special software beyond games designed to respond to the inputs that the iCade sends. This system also allows other Bluetooth input devices, such as the iControlPad, to use the same protocol in order to control applications designed for iCade.

Buy it from ION Audio, the manufacturer. Also for sale on Amazon and ThinkGeek.

iCade compatible games. If I need to add a game or I have something wrong please send me a PM or post in the thread about it and I'll fix it.

If you managed to get iMAME from the Appstore while it was there, that is also compatible with iCade. And if your device is jailbroken there is a MAME app that will work with iCade as well.

[Dynamite Shikoku]

has the price of soul calibur been revealed yet?

[hyp]

500-700 purchases a day seems like, had their budget not been so high, a pretty successful ongoing run.

for what whale trail is, they really shouldn't have spent so much money.

[Gaaraz]

Invalid player name...

Thanks for the heads up on this, very odd. Are there UK and US servers?

[BocoDragon]

I'm loving Cytus.. It really is a Bemani-level game on iOS.

[Ranger X]

It's been a while I tried some new platformers, I feel like I played them all (well, the worthy ones)..


Any platformer games suggestions?


Preferably tight experiences like League of Evil...

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Someone recommended Cheeseman (supermeatboy kind of game) in iOS thread 3 and I enjoyed it. I think its still free right now too.

Controls are tight, but I haven't played League of Evil so I can't compare.

[Dog Problems]

Virtual On clone Overturn is on iOS devices now. It was originally released on WiiWare. No idea if it's good or not. Anyone want to risk it?

Lost a 1000 crate scoring game on Super Crate Box due to multitasking killing the app. Weee

Did you try Wind-up knight? It's mainly a runner-platformer and my favorite game on iOS. I just got all the achievements and enjoyed every bit!

Looks interesting, but will wait for impressions

[smuttlegiaco]

tomorrow, 19th january, Time of Heroes - our 3D turn-based strategy game will become available worldwide. For the first three days only 0.99$, after that 2.99$.

Here's the link to our Trailer.

And a few screenshots:













Have fun!!

[Fusebox]

Looks hot, I'll be grabbing that for sure.

[Jedeye Sniv]

Cue Alextended...

Looks pretty neat though, is that an iPad game? Never played an RTS on iOS before, can't really argue with that price though.

[Dash Kappei]

Awesome work LastWindow, gonna update the OP tonight.

Edit: so only Pac-Man is compatible, not Ms. Pac-Man as well? :/

[Dynamite Shikoku]

Soul Calibur is out in NZ. Price is $15.99 NZ dollars. Don't know what that translates to, but it sure aint 99 cents

edit: oh, and that price is 20% off release sale price lol

[Reese-015]

Yup. Pretty much my biggest gripe with the game. Though the stutter and performance issues are minor, they are very disruptive to the experience in a rhythm game. Needs to be fixed.

Infinity Field is the best iOS game. Hands down. I can't stop playing it

Yes. YES. I don't think there's anything I've enjoyed as much as IF's Insane mode on the platform. So so good... And it's prettier not just than other GW clones on iOS, it's prettier than most GW-ish games on ANY platform. Insane mode is total twin-stick psychedelic bliss.

[squall23]

You are aware that Jubeat and Reflec Beat exist on iOS right? Because you sound kind of surprise that there are "bemani-level" games for it.

Woah!! I know I said day one, but damn, I might have to go back on my word, that's crazy exy.

[Mario]

At £30k to develop, that's still over 60,000 copies at 69p/99c which need to be sold just to break even.

That's a lot less than the ~500k copies for Whale Trail to break even, and they will be out of pocket a lot less if they never hit it.

I'm a huge Spell Tower fan, and there's a new one coming on thursday called Puzzlejuice which is pretty darn rad too (it's tetris meets spell tower).

All these word games (many great ones too), but can't anyone make a Wordtris clone? I always liked that game even more than tetris, due to the random nature of it when you start shifting all the letters down as the board fills up and you get closer to losing, but then one column shifts and it creates a long chains of words by accident.

[Cromat]

What's the point in having a fighting game without multiplayer?
I didn't get the people who bought Tekken for PSP either. These games are only fun when playing against human opponents.

No online multiplayer = no point

It is on sale :\

You can play Tekken multiplayer on PSP... Just not online. But you at least only need 1 copy of the game. So if you have friends with PSPs that you can occasionally meet, it's a good purchase as it's a good port. Reminded some younger days for me, when we used to gather a bunch at someone's house and play Tekken 3 to death. Of course we didn't play the PSP game as often together but spent a lot of time practicing for when we could meet too, or trying to beat each other's survival score without cheese characters, so definitely got loads of play time out of it. Saying online is a must is like saying fighting games are only worthwhile this gen... Local is still best and has no issues which online introduces anyway, online is just a welcome convenience for when you can't have the better experience. Which if you can't ever have I guess makes it a must. But I personally wouldn't get a fighting game I can't play with friends offline at all anyway, hence why I was speaking of 5 there, things changed since so I never got 6.

I was just thinking of grabbing a new iTunes card, to snag Soul Calibur, but I'm not spending more than $5 on it.

Namco needs to come down to earth a bit with their pricing.
