the biggest crime about this thread is that I see less and less pics in here... when you even mention a game barely I'd like to see a pic at least... not a wall of text
on that note, look this free one up... havent played ityet

Wasn't anything we planned or specifically asked for. As far as we know the AppStore Twitter is just as much of a black box as any promotion on iTunes.
I can see the ranks for the game have jumped a little, so it has had an impact on sales (won't know exactly how many sales for a couple days). Doesn't seem a mention there is a kingmaker like a banner on the App Store front page though.

Cool, thanks for answering! I suspected it was as you described, a "black box".

Adventure fans should check Scarlett and the Spark of Life: Episode 1.
I haven't played it yet but the reviews are very positive.
As I was searching for adventures I also came across Shadow's Call. It has a demo but a certain puzzle made me quit it...I'll give it another chance later because it looked promising...

Battleheart by Mika Mobile
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/battleheart/id394057299?mt=8
My wife and I have dumped a lot of money (relative to most games' 99-cent price) into iOS games, and yet I keep going back to Doodle Jump. There are so many simplistic games on the system, but that one keeps bringing me back... I've only managed like 31k on it (I seem to hit a wall around 20-25k), but I think about it a lot when I'm not playing it. 
We also grabbed Swap This last night, and that's a lot of fun, although I wish the visual cues were a bit stronger for when you have one of the blocks highlighted. When you're moving that fast, sometimes it's tough to tell if you've actually activated a block. Tons of fun, though.
This has probably been discussed, but am I going crazy, or did they put all the DDPDOJ bosses in DDPR? I'm sitting there playing the iPhone mode, and it all looks totally different with the screen scrolling in all sorts of directions on stage 1. Hopefully I didn't just dream that. LOL

Not actually that important
Those are the hidden routes, to get to them you've got to destroy the sylos in stage 1 before the tanks get there. Screen start scrolling in reverse and you fight the original bosses as mid-bosses. To keep fighting on hidden routes you must destroy them before timing out.ghibli99 said:My wife and I have dumped a lot of money (relative to most games' 99-cent price) into iOS games, and yet I keep going back to Doodle Jump.

Happens in Daifukkatsu 1.5 as well, and Resurrection is "just" a direct port with the added iPhone mode.
To be sure if you've fought on hidden routes just go see your achievements list, there's one for every hidden route taken.

Not going to buy another non-universal low res game, sorry I'm sick of playing games blown up to 2X
Anyway, I still think an iOS tailored Super Meat Boy with finger touch controls and swipes would be awesome.

Yes. Go go NZ game development.
These guys threw a lot of effort into this game, and speaking to them last week they have been working on the next episode pretty much since the release of this one.

jts said:Well, I'm hooked on FKF, so I really want to get that.
Mario, the free version will not be this one but rather a "lite" version of sorts right? Because if that's right, I'm getting this one ASAP, don't need (or want) to wait
Correct.
However, I'm not sure whether the comp we'll announce in the next day is on the free version or across both. Trying to get clarification.
Practising in this version will help if it ends up only being based around the free version leaderboards though (assuming they are even seperate).

I got sucked into Sigma again a couple of weeks ago, and haven't been able to put it down. Which made the me think - where's Sigma 2?!?!
I emailed the dev (Do you have any information on when we can expect Sigma 2? ... For what it's worth, I'd love to see retina graphics, a retina icon, Game Center support, and a hard mode...) , and these were the two responses that I got from the Project Manager and Designer:
They sound like great guys, but more importantly, great devs! And anyone who even remotely likes match-3 games needs to get this. There isn't anything even remotely similar (that I know of) in the genre.
Here are some pics; I agree, there aren't enough in this thread.

jts said:Nice, thanks. Even if the competition is on the free version only, I would get this one anyway so might as well do it now, which I did
Your 99c is appreciated.
Will post in here when the competition goes live with details. Will be plenty of time to enter over the Superbowl weekend.

I gave in and bought the game too, and was loving it until the crashes got me. It has crashed three times on the first boss.... I am getting better at fighting it, but I am enjoying the game less with every frustrating crash.

That pretty much sums up how I play all my games. Even solitaire.
I guess I will give it another go and try to remain calm.
battlehearts keeps crashing when you use 2/3 powers at the same time from your different characters in the party. especially if you use the healer powers + wizards at the same time while other powers are active
unoptimized piece of shit

Anybody have any suggestions for some Brain Training-esque apps? I've looked around, and there's a ton, but I'm not sure which ones are good or not. Lumosity looked great, but I don't want to pay a subscription.

Glow Artisan went free a week or so ago. It's not brain-agey per say; more like a devious color matching game. And it's award-winning.
Impressions? I know of Ascendancy but never played it. I loved Master of Orion though. Thanks in advance!dream said:haha, wow, I was so happy about Ascendancy being on the iPhone that I just blindly mashed the buy button without noticing the price.
I guess I'm dipping into my day's Starbucks budget
