Hey, Flunkie, found you a loophole. Icebreaker released on IOS in 2013, but didn't come to Android till May 2014
Haha thanks, but it's okay. I have too many to choose from as is.
Galcon 2, Docking Sequence, and The Drive: Devils Run are all out. Any mpressions out there?
Awesome! I love RAD Soldiers.
But upon closer inspection it seems like this will only be a bunch of QTEs telling a "story"

Any impressions of Knock Knock? It's on sale for $2. The reviews were mediocre, but the user impressions on GAF and other forums are mostly very positive
Our new Collectible Card Game is out in Canada: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/earthcore-ccg/id912349391
It's called Earthcore and I have never been more proud of any game I've worked on. Co-designed with Michal Oracz (the designer of Neuroshima Hex) it's, I believe, the first ever CCG with actual card crafting. Here's the latest trailer that describes the feature pretty well:
http://youtu.be/VvkxAXgBKXk
We're in soft launch right now but the game already has a robust story-based single player campaign and a variety of multiplayer modes. The global release is planned for Q1 2015. Before then, I will be grateful for any and all thoughts from Canadaian gaffers (or anyone that is willing to create a Canadian account
). Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance!I held a friend's iPhone 6 tonight (my first real interaction with the new devices) and the thing felt absolutely massive, but the double press of the home key to "bring the screen down" to reach things at the top is absolutely brilliant. I'm convinced that 4.7 is the way to go now.

Any thoughts on Knock Knock?
I don't see how I could handle much more. Thing was already massive. I asked him time and time again if he was sure it's not the 6+.
I played it and haven't finished it. Got distracted by too many other games.
It seems good. Kind of a poor man's Year Walk. Might get around to playing it through to the end but can't really give a firm recommendation.

Final Fantasy Tactics is half price. Yay or nay?

Does it work on IOS 8?
Takes one week.
Haven't met anyone that ever went back to a small screen from a note or 6+ or other big phones.

Hmm...good question
Holding an iPhone 5 after getting used to the 6+ was jarring. It really surprised me how small it seems to me now, when it was totally fine before.
Though I bet in a week or 2 I'd be used to it again, if I did go back to a smaller screen.

No patch notes for FFT and iOS 8 support YET. However, I'm seeing notes for iOS 8 support on more and more SqEx games.

Been playing Boson X a lot since the last patch came up, the new character, the robot is my favorite and I am finally improving and unlocking more modes than ever before, its like rediscovering the game again. Now is my favorite behind the back endless runner there is. Well I been away too long from my beloved Advanced Warfare and some noob and campers slaying Back to the war...
Back to the war...You did good, kid. You did good.
FFIV: The After Years is at $7.99 again (down from $15.99). Might grab it this time since I missed it in the last sale. Although maybe I shouldn't since I still have some long games installed that I'm planning to go through before I get to play it.
Also, they had the gall of having Chaos Rings 2 on sale too while it's still broken on iOS 8 (the other CR games have been patched). Lmao. It's the only one I haven't played yet but I can't bring myself to purchase a broken game even if they're saying it will be fixed.

Sol Invictus (sequel to Heavy Metal Thunder) is releasing January 8th
Plays greatly. I play the iPhone version on both the iPhone and the iPad with cloud saving and it scales very nicely. I imagine it will be fine on a 6+.

it's a turn based strategy rpg. It plays fine since you never need to be quick with the controls. I bought the phone version just to play it with my ipad since it has cloud saves and it looks great zoomed in on the ipad.

DQVIII on ios does not feature the orchestral soundtrack from the western release, no voicework, and runs only in portrait mode. And the framerate seems to be locked regardless of what phone you have
If it's your only way to play it, then i guess it's ok but most of the magic from the PS2 release isn't present in the ios version.

i loaded FFT on my 6+ just now and the only thing that stood out for me was the lack of widescreen support. otherwise, it ran fine.
That's good enough for me. Bought. Thanks for the heads up.
I would argue that most of the magic IS present. It's still a brilliant game.
But yeah, not the best version around.
I'm eagerly waiting for DQV though, since it's my favorite in series.
I wish they would port IX. That might be my second favorite tied with VIII.
I wish they would port the 3DS version of VII too, but I'm certain they will port the PSX version.

To be fair, some people consider the orchestral soundtrack to be inferior (as it wasn't made specifically for the game iirc, either way people did state in the original thread a while back that the original score sounded better to them), so it's not necessarily a negative, and the framerate on the PS2 version is also capped/locked (to 30fps, which is what the iOS one is as well I believe, when it's not slowing down). The lock to portait mode and lack of voices are negatives though, but how much could vary per person as well.
As much as I would have loved a full port, I knew it was too good to be true.
Definitely not 30 fps. I would say it's in the low 20's.
