Not actually that important
How come I can't find Flashback on the appstore anymore?!

It went quite a while ago, worst thing is that if you still have the app as I do, you can not get it to download the files needed to play the game, it's completely null.
Mister, where do you see that? All I see is that it's "surfacing soon" and "coming soon".
You must have some insider source. For what it's worth, game looks fun, reminds me of Burrito Bison in a way.
My source is hope.
Mage Gauntlet is one of the best iOS games. This is great news.

Need for Speed Most Wanted dropped to $0.99. Looks like an EA sale

Plants Vs Zombies 2 announced for Summer 2013 release http://t.co/tVZ0NuOMq2
Fantastic. Now lets hope EA doesn't fuck this up too. If this is some freemium IAP laden crap I will be pissed.

at least the art... looks good?
I can see that, I think it's fun but pretty disappointing compared to how much I normally get into the Nimblebit games, I got an early code last Saturday and haven't played too much of it.
They had to somehow jam IAPs into the game. It's Nimblebit afterall.
Nimblebit are usually championed as ones who do IAP right in that it's not a real necessity. The UI in the game seems kinda awful
Anything going for free that's worth picking up?

I'm totally cool with the current iPad mini screen in terms if resolution (especially if going retina meant a sacrifice on battery life and thickness/weight). However there are some things that Apple can do to improve the screen in terms of color reproduction, laminating the screen to the glass to reduce glare and reflections, etc.
Sorry. I don't have any control over the YT playlists. Videos have to be playlisted by hand, and it's a process. Upload the clip. Publish the clip on IGN. Syndicate the clip to Youtube. Publish the clip on Youtube. Playlist the clip on Youtube. Sometimes the video people miss clips.
I've asked them to keep the ASU playlist up to date since some folks use it.

so nimblebit another miss? 2 strikes then (well I had my fun with pocket plane but it's flawed in design).
They're doing pocket trains next btw.

lotta black folks here
I enjoyed Pocket Planes for a while, but how the ranking system worked and the fact that you really had to build specific direct routes to have any sort of efficiency, rather than just being able to build what you want really put me off pretty quickly. Still, I'm willing to give Nimble Quest a chance even if if does just look like a fancied up Snake, consideing how much I've played Tiny Tower(196 floors and counting...).
Any opinions yet about Magicka or Dungeon Hearts? Seems like one of the best weeks in a while if those turn out to be good.
The swipe controls doesnt even seem accurate. Don't see what the big deal is with this game. Sorry Nimble
I've been tied to my iPhone for a little while so I haven't looked up new released/OP updates. If there are any out there in the last few days that you think deserves a spot please let me know. Same goes if there are any games in the OP that you think shouldn't be there for so and so reasons.

I was about to post the same!!!
And thanks for setting up the NeoGAF arena, I'll get in as soon as possibile.
I always liked snake or tron games, and I must say that Nimblequest is, so far, really awesome (and for me, the best Nimblebit so far, never really liked the other ones).
I'm having sooooo much fun with it.
As soon as you arrive at the castle and start to seriously upgrade your characters, it's damn fun and the 'just one more try' factor is totally there.
To me at last.
Just unlocked the Arcane mage character
I wish there were some bosses too, they could be cool.
The token thing is sometimes a bummer...(you really want to continue your last stage with those perfect placed 7 characters in the queque)...I even resorted to watch some videos to get free tokens and be able to continue.
So far I'm really enjoying it, can't wait to try the arena thing.
BTW....which is the preferred leader for you?
I'm using the warrior or the archer (both leveled up).
Tried the mage or the chavalier but I had hard time in early stages.
EDIT:just tried the arena...whoa, it's really frantic!!!

our new game Hell Quest: Tears of God is out now. worldwide. it's a F2P dice rolling/RPG hybrid (based on Farkle, but heavily modified). if you're into dice rolling, check our baby out.
Awesome. And it has Game Center? I guess MS eased up on that restriction.

I picked up SimCity Deluxe during the current EA iOS sale. I hope it's not hot garbage. The reviews on TouchArcade were okay.
Danmaku Unlimited 2 dropped to 1,79.

How does it run on iOS?

Yeah, it definitely does not have the longevity of their other games. At least for me. I played for about a half an hour and deleted it.
No problems for me on iPad 3. Just a quick flick. You barely have to touch the screen.
I'm using the bald bomber guy with one star (25% upgraded bomb radius, I think?). I like that he rarely misses and can hit a whole group with one shot at an angle + from a decent distance.
Managed to do a 245 kill + 1,148 gem run last night before I called it quits. Fun stuff!

Also not feeling Nimble Quest. On top of it being just a pretty dull game, it seems kinda janky. Collision detection is all over the place, and about 90% of my deaths have come from being near contact rather than any actual contact itself.
It's pretty horribly slow all round, the gameplay, earning coins/gems, the levelling, everything, and it doesn't really have the gameplay to make me want to suffer through it because what are you even actually doing? In Snake the game gets more difficult because you're getting longer, so success requires you to constantly alter your strategy. In this you can just circle around the arena forever and do pretty well with no effort whatsoever.
Kinda worried we'll never get another good Nimblebit game at this point.
