Isn't JSR on iOS and android the only versions which run up to 60 fps? or something like that.
Will be really interesting when Apple decides TV isn't just a hobby anymore.
Machinarium codes:
It is one of my all time favorite games, so if anyone hasn't played it I'm happy to accommodate.
Thanks jetset, I got the last code from this post.

Dungelot 2 is out and has severe issues in relation to iAPs. Why am I not surprised.
Still waiting for a decent quality controller to come out, partially for this. JSR is unplayable on touchscreen for me.
Jailbreak+ps3 controller is fantastic.

Finally! My favorite SHMUP got an update!
Blazing Star!
I think it's a work of art, the sprite work. It's awsome.

Dang! All the Machinarium codes have been redeemed. If anyone gets anymore I'd love to have one. It'd be fantastic if you could PM a code to me or post more on here. I showed it to my girlfriend and she said it looked like a game she'd actually enjoy playing.
Until then, we're battling for high scores in Threes!

Depending on your taste, you might love puzzle quest or Dungeon Raid. (sorry if that isn't what Bejeweled is, I've never played it)
Dungeon Raid is quite different from Bejeweled, but it's an amazing game nonetheless! I just wish it was updated for the new resolution.
Also, in the vein of Dungeon Raid (and perhaps more akin to Bejeweled), I'd recommend 10000000.

Probably the only one in the world (even the dev pulled the game from the AppStore) I'm liking Dungelot 2 a lot.
The 'freemium' timer is completely broken so I could play two straight days without pausing even 1 sec, I love the finally tuned difficulty (original game was way too easy) and the general improvements.
If the dev really implements what he said (upgrades are permanent, more blue tokens drops and a coin doubler) it will be great.
Right now you are forced to do 1-2 dungeon passes to ammass gold before trying the boss (to pump up swords) and get the loot and key.
About to get the third key right now, after getting both the sword and the leather armour.
Special rooms are really nice.
I found that the 'cure' plus 'strength' spells is the best combo (level 20 is almost guaranteed with both).
Anyone unlocked the second dungeon?

I bought Adventure Time: Card Wars as well, and it's extremely fun.
I ran into a game freezing bug, however.
On the 1st Finn level, Star 3 is beating Finn with only corn cards. So, while in the middle of the match, I used Brain Storm, but then something weird happened;
I got that weird message up top, and no buttons would respond to my touch, only the fire creature card I had that I could tap to enlarge it, but I couldn't drag it anywhere.

No. All versions are capped 30FPS.

Finally got myself a 768 in Threes. Good for a 20K+ score.
I certainly don't consider myself an iOS connoisseur, but that said, I think this is the best game I've yet to play on an iDevice. There's a lot to like about it, but what I appreciate most is it's equally compelling to fiend on it game after game, as it is to make six moves while taking a piss. A true mobile game which can flex out and kill an hour too. Love it.
Not unlike Drop7, I'd imagine it will stay on my phone/iPad for years.

As someone who doesn't like the games where you place buildings (spa story mall story etc) but loves their more structured games (game Dev story grand Prix story) they haven't done much of the stuff I like lately.

Ew. Reminds me of shitty 1990 CGA graphics. Do not want.

Have you played it or are you dismissing it because of the visuals? The gameplay is fun, which is what matters

I have tried this and I am liking it quite a lot actually
I recommend everybody to give it a try !
All games. Lol. I was thinking of getting riptide gp2, and ridiculous fishing. Maybe that new Ksoft game Ninja Village. Ff6 seems cool too but it's like over half of that gift card.
Been having a good time with War of Eclipse. Game Stew's overall style and 8-bit art give their games an interesting and unique vibe that I really dig. I kept postponing a proper playthrough of the first Tower of Fortune but I'll definitely play it and the sequel after I'm done with WoE.

Rayman Fiesta Run is on sale for $1.49 on the Google Play Store. I wonder if the app store version will go on sale any time soon

Took that one thanks!
Update can't come soon enough. The + sign on the not-3 cards will definitely help in reducing the game of chance aspect.

Any whatsoever news about FTL new version and iPad port?
If I recall well they said 'early 2014'....but there was absolutely no news since the announcement back in last year.
Not really the same thing but somewhat similar, Out There should be in the AppStore this week or next one (submitted last week).
I tried the first part of the beta and was really nice with tons of potential.

No news yet but it should come soon. I'm pretty sure it will be out in march/early april.
Can't wait for Out There either, the beta is a blast to play.

March April????
That's not soon enough!!!!
Yeah I loved it too; now that the info is public I can safely say I LOVED in particular how well it was done the iPhone version...to the point I played almost there.
Very very easy to pick and play, only to discover you played 2 hours straight.
So, basically you can write down your first 12 draws, and then take into account bonus higher cards, and you'll able to infer a lot more about upcoming draws.
This game =/
Gonna try out the theory later
....goddamn. I can't be arsed to play a single game over 10-15 hours, but a 6144 tile is pretty damned impressive.
I do need to slow down somewhat though, at the moment I'm kinda planning my moves, but with a very basic 'don't stack one side of the board with too many reds or blues' strategy.
Bejeweled is still the king. I could play Butterfly mode forever. These are nice, though:
Dungeon Raid - it's match three, but with some basic RPG and rougelike elements added. Dungeon Story is a solid alt.
Scurvy Scalawags - similar to Dungeon Raid, but more fleshed out and pirate themed.
Chuzzle - PopCap's other match-3 game. it's simple, but cute.
Zookeeper Battle - pretty typical match three gameplay, but with addictive head-to-head multiplayer.
PuzzleCraft - it's F2P, but the crafting/farming angle is a fun twist.
1000000 - like Dungeon Raid re-imagined as an endless runner.
Super Monsters Ate My Condo - not a traditional match-3 at all, but it still counts AFAIC. this game is nuts.
RE: Threes, I love the game but it frustrates me. I feel like I'm getting better and better at playing the game, but it's not at all reflected by my scores. My top three runs were within the first hour of playing the game, when I only halfway understood what I was doing. Now I can barely break 2K. It's weird.
NVM, I misread it, you always have a stack of four 1s, four 2s, four 3s, which get reshuffeld after you use them up. Sometimes you also get extra bonus cards with higher values, at most 3 ranks below your highest card, these are additional cards and aren't counted as part of your stack, and you'll still need to use up your whole stack to get a reshuffle.
So, if you keep track of it, and you know that after a reshuffle you have drawn four 2s and four 3s and a 1, you know that you will draw three 1s in a row (not counting any bonus cards).
edit: Oh, and I think your 9 cards out on the board in the beginning are part of your stack, so after three draws the first reshuffle comes, then its 12 cards+bonus cards for a reshuffle.
So, this game is essentially a spreadsheet warrior game.
hope I didn't ruin anyone's enjoyment of the game!
