I got near the end of Clarc and ended up giving up on one of several rooms filled with off-camera lasers. It was good, though.

Do all of the podcast apps have the same content? Does any podcast app have better support than the others?
Podcast apps are just "gatherers". They pick feeds up and list them for you. They don't host any content; they just organize different shows.

Tired of waiting Apple publishing iOS 9.1 (reportedly solving the Gamecenter bug, due out in November) I tried the last chance.
I've read many success reports but some unsuccessful ones....but I tried.
Turned on my work MacBook (I didn't turn on a PC at home since like 4 years), did a backup...and wiped off my iPad.
Clean install....THEN I restored backup.
And whoa!!!!
Turn notifications went on for 2 minutes....
First time I loaded GC was a bit slow...but then everything was back to normal.
I was able to take my turns, sync my saves, received further notifications....
I really hope it last.
Doing the same on iPhone as I write...will report if everything is ok in some days.
If you want to do the same...DO IT WITH A PC...do not use an iCloud backup because I've read one side effect of the same bug prevents restoring from iCloud (always worked for me but I read that and I didn't want to take any risk).
EDIT: Game Center is back on iPhone too. Wooooot!!!

Installing iOS 9.1 fixed all of my issues. It's much better now.
100% landing somewhere in my 2015 GOTY Top 10 list.
Ryan North's To Be Or Not To Be is on sale for $1.99.
It's a comedic Hamlet choose your own adventure with fantastic artwork and wildly divergent paths.
I just spent the last 5+ minutes going through the Acknowledgements (ProTip: twice) before starting the game proper and already regret not paying full price.
Holy crap this guy is hilarious.

Anyone play Shadow Fight 2? It has timers and such and is pretty grindy, but man, the gameplay is so much fun. It's from the devs of Vector, so the animations are awesome
Heard of a lot of good things about this, might pick it up
Been on my wishlist for over a year. Thanks!
Anybody have any problems with Test Flight, especially since iOS 9? I've been doing some beta testing of Aralon 2 and a new build came out. So I deleted some things (had removed last version to wait for some things to be fixed) then tried to download the new one. It failed due to space. Okay. So I again delete. Check my storage and the 1.3 GB is NOT restored. I delete a few things anyway and try to download again with what should have been plenty of space. It gives the same error and now I should have been out 1.6-1.7 GB. I check and I only have less than 100 MB and it keeps declining eventually to zero.
I rebooted. Used a file cleaner. Kept retrying. Over and over and I am stick with no space. Not going to delete anything else because it seems to suck up the space anyway. I also tried deleting Test Flight itself. Nope. Space is still gone, probably about 2 GB at this point.
WTF? Anyone else experiencing these kind of issues?

Outside of the Chinese clone of Patapon on the app store a while ago (since taken down). I'm not sure.
No such issues experienced on my end and I use Test Flight apps daily with my work. Sounds like corrupt cache files that may need a restore to remove?

I hate you for mentioning this
Since I tried it after reading your post, I basically didn't play anything else.
SO FUN....and so fluid on iPhone 6.
Reminds me IK+
Controls very well too...I'm actually able to do some incredible combos.

Thanks. I was afraid I'd end up having to so this. But kept trying and trying and this morning it finally installed Aralon 2 and freed up what was at that point 3.4 GB.
Major headache, but it's done for now.
So is post-9.0 glitchy Game Center preventing iCloud save transfers?
I've got a 15 hour save on Farming Simulator 16 that I want to transfer from my old 5s to my new 6s Plus. The file shows as being uploaded to the cloud on the 5s, but when I load the game on my 6s Plus all the Cloud Save slots are empty.

I'm probably the last one knowing this....but apparently since iOS 9 (I guess because of app thinning, so you do not have the full app version anymore in your devices) when you connect to iTunes you DO NOT transfer the apps from device to computer anymore.
So you do not update existing app on PC and more importantly if you restore....you will download from the internet (like with iCloud backup), so it's much slower and you are not guaranteed anymore they still have the app if I understood well.
Did you know?
Is there any workaround?

App thinning is active on iOS 9.0.2 and above, a bug in 9.0 prevented it from working.
I've always downloaded my apps in iTunes for local backing up regardless (I have it set so iTunes auto-downloads new purchases) so this change doesn't affect me and I suppose this is your only recourse these days now if you weren't doing that.

Blockwick 2 fans (cough Frost cough), game got a new $1.99 level pack
The latest Blockwick 2 update brings you a new purchasable puzzle pack: Obscura. This pack includes 80 puzzles that range in difficulty from medium to maddeningly tough. Many of these puzzles are not for the faint of heart. If you haven't beat the original Blockwick 2 game, we don't recommend getting Obscura.

Hi, yes I saw that on the update description, unfortunately I havent finished the game yet, lately my private time has dissappeared entirely, my dog ate my couch, and much more. I wil buy it for sure, also havent even give Dust: An Elysian Tail (isnt tails from dogs and tales are for a story, Im confused, should be the other way around in this case...) the proper time it requires.
Next wednesday night releases something that I find extremely awesome, Downwell:

Oh wow, Downwell coming this week? So excited. Going to cost $3 if anyone's interested
And we can add that to the "Another Devolver Digital game on IOS" list

Actually it doesn't really affect me too, because I do only iCloud backups but recently I tried it (to get rid of the iOS 9 GC bug) and 'discovered' this, especially important for the very few games I DO NOT want to be updated.
I guess many are pissed off by this.
Still wonder if they'll ever bring over some of their bigger games to iOS that are on Android. At least a few are Shield exlusives like The Talos Principle. But others -- OlliOlli, Titan Souls, Luftrausers, and Hotline Miami 1 & 2 -- I'm not sure are exclusive BUT they require a gamepad.
Am I right that Apple still will not allow games that require a gamepad? Maybe they'll allow them on the new tvOS?

I think Luftrausers and Talos could work with touch controls, but the others would definitely need a gamepad

iOS games have to be able to use the touchscreen for all controls, even if they do support MFi controllers.
tvOS games have to support the included Siri remote, which has two buttons; a ludicrous decisions on Apple's part. Unlikely tvOS will get anything but very basic motion controller games.
Actually, Talos does have touch controls (along with the gamepad support), but I know that one for sure is a Shield exclusive. Not sure how long it will be, but, yeah, that's the only one of those that I know of that doesn't require a gamepad.

Yes to Luftrausers on iOS
Beta testing on Steam, massive update, so many new things going on it that seems like a new game.
Games where you get a steady stream of upgrades and drives the game addictive to get better with each of them? I dont think there is a genre for that, but lucky us there are a few that I know:
Knightmare Tower
Mines of Mars (there is a premium and a free with ads version)
Beyond Gravity
Castle Doombad
Super Crossfighter (gameplay-wise)
99 Bricks

Any impressions of Costume Quest? It's currently $0.99
I played it on 360 a long time ago but it was a fun, casual RPG, where you can collect costumes to become what you are dressed in during battle.. Perfect for Halloween, of course, and has that Double Fine sense of humor.
Haven't played the iOS version, but unless the port is bad, it's an easy recommend for $.99.

Mines of Mars Zero update fixing the game on iPads is now love, sorry live... enjoy.
Just checked them all with iOS 9 and 99 Bricks doesnt have any music on it. I would wait for an update if you are interested in that one.
And Knightmare Tower gets my recommendation second Mines of Mars. It is so good it will feel short when you finish the main story, wanting for more... so there is an endless mode to fix that. Actually, I am going to play that again now...

I actually love those kind of games, and looking at my iPhone I dont have many, Dandy A Brief Glimpse into the Life of a Candy Alchemist has some of that, Glorkian Warrior Trials of Glork too, but they aren't as compelling to play as Knighmare Tower, Mines of Mars or Ridiculous Fishing (all feels short after you finish them) where you are playing all day. So I am going to play them all over again. And if you guys have any more suggestions, please tell me
Edit: More Downwell footage...

I am insta-buying this game the second is out (hope is a regular NZ release)
