And done, all current 148 levels complete in Pikpok's Maze Runner. Entirely beatable without IAP, etc. I wish there was some "you escaped the maze!" picture at the end instead of nothing, but I'll live.
Found it to be a pretty good runner, stage-based instead of endless and with quite a few interesting ideas with the moving obstacles and such.
Great you finished it. But don't delete just yet.
New updates coming with new levels, whole new environments and gameplay components, Grievers and more
Because it had a price drop from $4.99 to $.99. That and the name cognition, sadly, trump how good or bad the port is.

Almost bought it too, before reading the reviews
Got Worms 3 instead
$10 for ace attorney dual destinies.
$3 for reckless racing 3
$5 banner saga
those were my buys.
As soon as I saw your post I thought "how the fuck will my phone handle that?" DF is notorious for using far more computing power than one would expect- as it literally simulates everything.
After reading the link, he is basically making a client for iOS that would control an instance of DF running on a PC or server. Fucking brilliant.
I do hope this all works out!
Sweet, looking forward to it! Figured there was more coming, I'll keep it installed.Great you finished it. But don't delete just yet.

Just bought Minho to give something back too.
Yeah and things have gotten a little ugly in the thread for it. Waiting for Eli to pull out his ban hammer.

Talisman DLCs are not on sale on iOS.
Framed devs didn't pay them enough.
How was Interstellar? Got kind of mixed reviews, particularly for a Nolan film, but I still want to see it.
Has the same score as Inception does on Metacritic, even though the response seems far more mixed.
I loved it. It was absolutely stellar.
I'd easily rank it there with Looper and Children of Men, and Inception of course.It's honestly the science fiction movie I've been waiting for my whole life.
I would say more but don't want to spoil, I recommend just going to see it, in IMAX if you can.
One last thing: If any of you have Netflix, go watch Peaky Blinders, right now. Probably my favorite TV show of recent years. I just finished it, and I just found out about it a week ago.

Sounds good. Definately will see it one of these days but I think the only IMAX screen in my town has Mockingjay on it. Guess I need to check out Peaky Blinders too.

If you mean The Longest Journey, I'll highly recommend that. I played it for the first time recently on PC and loved it. Short of one famously esoteric puzzle, it stands out as one of the better adventure games that I've played. I've heard good things about the iOS port too.

Hmmmm.
The game is GLORIOUS on iPad and I was able to play some battles and follow the story on a 4S.
It is playable without problems on the small screen but for one thing that really bothered me on 4S: loading times.
They are atrocious aspecially when you are on a camp moving around.
Like 30 seconds between scenes...and I found that really annoying.
If you can cope with that and it's your only viable platform...I would suggest to but nonetheless because the game is awesome, but do know that.

Finished Origins with 3 stars on every level. And a lot of missions and Veteran levels too, without buying any hero or using power-ups. There is no need to those at all if you are wondering. Its balanced, pretty and awesome. The story is... ok I guess but the meat is in the gameplay itself, faster, furious, relentless. Awesome.
Now into Sleep Attack (on the third world, getting my ass kicked a lot)...
Lol you still reading that shitty place after giving Candy Crush AND Bitcoin Billionaire a 5 star rating? Why
No, it work perfectly on my side. Strange. Send an email to the devs they listen...

Seems like PC dlc was on sale not ios =/
Question: I want to re download the season pass for republique as I bought it way back when it was .99 cents and never got around to playing it. A prompt comes up saying I won't be recharged but then it asks if I want to buy it for 14.99...
Is this normal? Do I still just hit buy again?

Where did you find out its out?
It's in the OP of this thread.
Pretty sure it hasn't been released yet.
Though it's more for kids/nostalgia than the beautiful, mature story you'd get in Longest Journey, I saw on their Facebook page that Humongous is making one of their best adventure games - Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo - free for this weekend (and the rest of their games on iOS are 40% off as well). Pretty fun, even if meant for kids, and it's normally $4.99, so worth grabbing for free. Details here.
Hmm, I feel really sad for my dad. Literally the only game he plays is Candy Crish on his iPad 1. He plays it every day trying to compete with my mother but he told me, that he recently updated the app.
Now it keeps crashing and so he can't play it. Is Candy Crush not supported on the original iPad anymore?
I don't have an iOS device myself btw.

What had you played before that? If you haven't been keeping up with releases, a lot of good stuff you might have missed

Jumping on a long flight soon, got any recommendations for an offline lengthy game that will keep me hooked (iPhone)?
Already grabbed Earn to Die 2 and Kingdom Rush Origins.
Already grabbed Earn to Die 2 and Kingdom Rush Origins.
banner saga is pretty fun. game doesn't seem to explain much though.
general questions:
Is there penalties of dying? One of the giant dudes fell during the second mission.
How am I suppose to use them properly without dying? Them being 4 squares is a huge disadvantage
Should i be wittling armor down before wacking? Does the math add up to that being more favorable than wacking at the meat for the same amoutn of turns?

I'll be honest. Basically nothing in the past four years. I've played Infinity Blade 1 and 2, Hearthstone, Terra Battle and 2048. I guess I need to peruse through the OP and GAF to find more stuff. I'm mostly interested in finding iOS (or mobile) exclusives now.

Great, thanks! I'll definitely be perusing through that regularly. I just picked up Device 6 on a whim. Hopefully that's enjoyable.
It will be.
But in the off chance that you don't find it enjoyable, please never return to this thread
So are Wicked Lair, Oddworld and The Witcher board game OP worthy? They're being brought up but no concise impressions have really been posted from what I can tell.
Oddworld definitely is. Wicked Lair needs some work though.
I think it was only included for those who had already purchased the game before the update... or was it the other way around? I dunno
It will be.
But in the off chance that you don't find it enjoyable, please never return to this thread
I didn't enjoy Device 6

I bought this having enjoyed his past few games. Unfortunately i am not really feeling this one. There is no real sense of progresson (when ypu die you lose everything) and i feel like its all a bit too based on luck.
