Yep, the app was stuck in a publisher black hole, which is why it's been unavailable for so long. The options on the table were to leave it in the void forever, or republish it ourselves as a new app. We didn't want to make it freemium and fill the game with ads or IAP, so we took what we saw as the best option.
Cool. Didnt know the whole story behind it. Hope it sees new life!

Good to know that you didnt make it freemium! Thanks Flashbulb! You are the best! Both Tentacles are superb (still playing the last one daily), KALIMBA is genious and this Max and the Magic Marker is a classic reborn that i will finish once again. Great job!! Big fan of yours <3

They play very well on phone. Their controls are one-handed.

Is it true that iOS 11 is getting rid of the wish list?
Just checked the App Store on 11 and, sure enough, it doesnt seem to be there.
wtf. that's ridiculous
Wish list people, use this app, it allows you to set price drop notifications as well.

Crazy. There are still new price tracking apps I do not know of. I recently read about "CheapCarts" which was taken off the App Store as well but I did not know it before. I am still using the German AppTicker because I have a library of nearly 1000 tracked games there...
I will take a look at this nonetheless. Looks fine.

Thank you very much, was just looking for something similar.
EDIT: At last I don't have any non iOS 11 compatible app on my devices, but The Nightmare Cooperative.
Matt Frost

The wishlist can still be done... on iTunes on PC or Mac... and speaking of that... i forgot about Pang Adventures... anyones plays it? How is it?
This is an unfathomable choice. Actively discouraging purchases...
I have a bunch of games on my WL I just haven't gotten around to buying. Really don't want to have to use a seperate app for something that simple and useful.
What speaks against an external app to keep you wish list? You even have the additional comfort that you get notifications when an app gets a price drop. There is even a Workflow applet for AppZapp which lets you watch apps from within the Appstore without having to leave it.
Officially, 2K says it will be updated, but TA is questioning their trustworthiness after they promised to fix Bioshock. Hopefully theyll keep their word this time around.

I'm still bitter they they published a new XCOM (enemy within) instead of just adding a DLC to XCOM:enemy unknown.
Not for the price, but the principle.
Enemy unknown is long forgotten.
Bought it, it's honestly great and I'm surprised it works as well as it does. The online also works well, I'm just super glad I have Street Fighter on my phone!
It's kind of depressing that it's basically the only good traditional fighter on the platform, though. This game shows that we COULD have simplified but stll authentic versions of other fighting games on mobile.

iOS Gaming Sept 2017 | 32 bit is dead, long live 64 bit!
I seriously can't wait for Iron Marines coming in September, I've been waiting for that game for over a year. I love the Kingdom Rush games so much and I'm really excited to see how well they do with real time strategy.
Also curious if Nintendo will be showing anything new at Apples event.

I have over 30 games/apps on my phone that aren't updated for 64bits. The ones I still play every so often include:
Dungeon Raid
Peggle (classic, not that F2P POS)
Joe Danger and Infinity
Spectromancer
Fluxx (well, I know my mom loves this game
I plan to submit a refund request to Apple for any not updated when iOS 11 hits... or maybe just not update. Ever.

Lords of Waterdeep got 64 bit support today!
Man, Ticket To Earth is such a great game. Really loving Chapter 2 and I had forgotten just how fun it was. I do wish it was a little harder, though. Hopefully when they finish all the Chapters we can get a new difficulty mode or a new game plus. Currently trying to rush through it, though, cuz the app is 1.5gb...
Every single day I curse myself for having gotten the 64gb Air 2 over the 128gb.
Every. Day.
I mean, it was the same for consoles and PC.
I hope we get XCOM 2, I don't care how downgraded the graphics are.
I'm going to wait to upgrade for awhile and see how things play out.
There's a few games I still haven't gotten around to playing on my backlog.

We have one more 64 bit update to squeeze out of our back catalog before the axe falls but alas it won't be that one.
We've had some internal discussion about reclaiming and republishing the Monsters IP but it's hard to justify because it was never a big money maker. It does have huge sentimental value in the team though. So it might happen as a "goodwill" exercise one day.
I searched for "SimCity" in this thread and 0 hits. In old threads there are hits here or there but not much on this game.
I am a SimCity BuildIt addict and I play a lot. I play on a Moto G5 plus and Kindle HD 8. On the G5 the game runs fine but the HD 8 is too slow. I am looking for a tablet to run this (and other games) on and I'm looking at the 2017 iPad or maybe Galaxy Tab S2 but some reviews say it is laggy already.
Do any of you have this game and if so can you please answer the following:
1) Which iPad do you own
2) how many seconds does it take for the game to load
3) How long in seconds does it take to load a town with a population of around 1,000,000
Thanks!

Rollercoaster post of the month. Starts awesome then goes south quickly but suddelty hopes return. It will be a goodwill exercise indeed and a nice gift for the fans. Hope it happens the Super Crate Box way

Here here! If anyone can make a great strategy game it's the kingdom rush devs.
I know it is a pain but when picking random towns in the store you should see some with 1M. On a Pro what would you say the average time to load a town when clicking on it from the depot is no matter what the size? I just did 5 on my phone and of random sizes I have an average number. The Pro or 2017 iPad should blow away my phone but I am curious what the numbers are. My Kindle Fire HD 8 (2017 model) is 15-20 seconds lol. It is so painful to play on it I don't. I want a higher res tablet and speed to play on.
I do have to say the Pros on sale right now are tempting. $499 open box (like new) at Best Buy. I bought an iPad 2 shortly after release for $499. My daughter still uses it even though it is a laggy mess.
If you need a good Mayors Club I am in one where we freely trade land/beach/mountain/storage.
Thanks!
Any suggestions for RPG/tower-building/defence style games?
iPhone SE here
Sad that Square Enix has pulled Crystal Defenders: Vanguard Storm from the store. It hasn't been updated since 2009 so I guess they weren't prepared to update it for iOS 11.
I miss the original Crystal Defenders

These are the ones I think are the best:
Kingdom Rush series
Dungeon Warfare
Crystal Siege
Dungeon of the Endless
Anomaly 2
Anomaly Defenders
Block Fortress
Bad Hotel
Sentinal 4 Dark Star
That's a pretty good mix of TD games with different takes on the genre.
Dungeon Warfare is so good, overlooked. The graphics are ugly as sin but it's an excellent game.

Does Darkest Dungeon on iPad include the DLC that was available for the PC version?
Edit: Thanks awp.

No, but it will be coming.
I still can't get over the $5 price tag. Easiest double dip ever.
Thanks! I'll check them out

I think after iOS 11, it's not that accurate to say iOS is a better gaming platform than Android. On Android you'd still have access to many of the best mobile games out there (some being the keyword - Peggle Classic is not on Android, lol). Of course eventually iOS will build a nice catalogue again, I guess.They removed it a couple of weeks ago but it still shows in my purchased list.
