I just bought ARC Squadron and the swipe one touch controls are a perfect fit. Oh and it looks incredible. I definitely recommend it at a cool 99 cents.

For everyone who likes Elder Sign, or those who want something like it but don't have an ipad (grrr), check out Necronomicon Redux! It's similar, albeit a lot smaller in scope i think. Someone can link it, I'm on my phone atm
Was considering it, but it seems to have mixed reviews. I'm guessing it's pretty cheap, so I might as well take a chance. I'm kinda up for more Lovecraftian mythology.
Let me check, because im sure theres a portuguese version.
EDIT: Look up for "super finn saltitante"
Hey SmokeyDave this is your song.
Got all Lums in Rayman, only need to beat the Mister Death stages now. After that I'm done, I won't be going to 100% the achievements with this one because:
A perfect run without dying, retrying or missing a single Lum... Yeah, no.

It looks like it's for the PT store. Would be nice if it popped up in the BR store eventually, there were some games that took a while to appear like Scribblenauts Remix. It doesn't happen to many games but I suspect it's usually due to different companies holding the local licenses to the thing. GTA3 and Max Payne are also unavailable on iTunes here and both were released officially in the country on years prior for PC and such (thankfully I managed to snatch both from the US Store though freemyapps + an US account).
This is the BR store right?
I make iOS game but i dont have a clue how it works. IM NO GOOD WITH COMPUTERS!

Fuck, I'm an idiot. It's called Hora de Aventura here and I kept searching for Adventure Time. Thanks!
edit: in my defense, it's actually a separate app with a different store ID (id553587942 instead of id561001269). Usually the same link will work on every store when clicked, but it's not the case with this one.

Jumping Finn Turbo is pretty good. It's mostly what I've been playing lately. And if you like Burrito Bison to begin with then you'll probably get into it also.
And speaking of Burrito Bison, it's a popular Flash game that was ported to iOS recently.
Original free Flash game: http://www.kongregate.com/games/JuicyBeast/burrito-bison
iOS version: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/burrito-bison/id519781433?mt=8

I could be wrong, and I don't really care about achievements so I won't be finding out for myself, but it doesn't say you have to collect ALL of the Lums. The way it's worded makes it sound like you could just play the first level 36 times if you wanted to.
I only played about an hour or so of it, but I'd say it definitely lacks any substance. Besides walking around and exploring, the main gameplay is jumping on the backs of wooden spirit guys and defeating them by pulling flowers off of their backs by swiping, while avoiding pulling bombs that damage you. There's really not much to it and I got bored pretty quick, it's much more exciting as a tech demo than on its own terms.
If you can get it on sale though it is pretty neat to just walk around, it does look amazing and control surprisingly well for an iPad game (other games like Horn and Infinity Blade look similar but Lilli is the only one that isn't on rails). Just don't expect anything too complex gameplay-wise to match the visuals.
Hmm, wouldn't pressing the restart button at the end of the level count as a retry? If it's like you said then it's not as bad. I'll try it with a similar achievement (500 Lums in one run).
I enjoy going after achievements in mobile games as another excuse to keep playing, and most of the time they're just a few, fun and doable. Hopefully this one isn't straight up bullshit like I thought it was.
edit: yeah, it does count as a retry. Oh well.

I noticed the icon was different. The purple definitely caught my eye!
Interesting seeing that image posted on page 1 with the exposure, etc. fiddled with. Has a bit of an old school RPG look but with a Tower Defense component perhaps? I see it tracks the number of remaining mobs.
I just got a couple. So I guess no...

Damn. I want to add a friend that just got his first iOS device, and the invites don't go out.
He's sitting right next to me (we just created the Gamecenter ID), so I have no idea.
Pen and Paper? I'm not too far into it yet but I'm digging it quite a bit. You basically get to dictate what quests you go on depending on what you need. You simultaneously play as the DM and the questers at the same time. The battles play out in traditional turn-based style, but they're pretty decent.
The thing I like best about it though is the character creation. You can use several different character types (The little brother, an alien, the hipster, the rocker, etc) and fit them into any class of your choosing. The catch is that the character types have attribute bonuses built in which can help out if you choose the right class. (For example, I've got an alien who has a bonus which allows for mana regen...so I made him a mage.)
Overall, it plays it pretty safe. At least in regards to the RPG mechanics it uses. Its the way it implements them that makes it pretty entertaining.

We just released Heads Up! Hot Dogs today on the app store. It's an arcade-style high score chase game where you (naturally) place hot dogs on people's heads as they walk/run past for points. Seven stages, each with their own environmental hazards to deal with and cops who'll shoot the hot dogs off your victims' heads unless you disable them by placing a wiener on THEIR head.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/heads-up!-hot-dogs/id557891567?mt=8
It's 99c straight up, no IAP.

Doesn't seem to work either, but thanks for the idea. I wonder if there will be a single poor soul who will try to go after that one without hacks.
Why? Because it's one of those rare apps that manages to be both charming and a good game. I'm not a fan of puzzle platformers or similar games, but GLR mixes up its single screen puzzles enough that the basic concept stays fresh over its 100+ puzzles.
Wait...What is Lili doing in the OP!!! That game came out in September. Shenanigans! You let that in and you need to let in Rayman Run, Bad Piggies...And I got yelled at

Beyond this, are all of this thread's releases for the month of November to be repeated in the next thread (so every thread has to cover a two month period by the time it ends)?

Seems too complicated. I don't want to design my own RPG missions.
From what I've played of it its really not that complicated.
This could be wrong but I don't think you create the quests, mostly just pick which quests to do at which time and also how many enemies to face at once, which basically just changes the difficulty.
It's all good! Was less of a complaint and more of a mild suggestion. I'm all for making those damn Yankees do some mathsehhhhh, I really don't know if I can be arsed

ARC Squadron or galaxy on fire 2?
I haven't played them both, but aren't they different genres? Galaxy on Fire 2 is a full-fledged space action game/simulation, while arc squadron looks more like a more "simple" space shooter... No?
Also, both! Galaxy on Fire 2 looks and plays amazingly.

impressions of stuff!
Sooo, Knights of Pen and Paper is a little bit hard if you leave that first town too early, just got my party wiped, and I have no money to res them : will be more careful next time! I love the presentation and style to the game though, it's really unique. I wouldn't mind this approach adopted by other devs and maybe handled with a more serious tone, the storytelling style of the game is cool.
Next, Arc Squadron. I fucking love it, straight up. Starfox is one of my very favourite games so this is right up my alley. It's beautiful and controls as well as I could expect. It looks like its going to get very hard because the second batch of levels is kicking my arse but I really like what this game is doing so far. Here's hoping the levels stay fresh and it doesn't get too hard. Also, is it me or is the barrel roll not deflecting shots? That's the whole idea of a barrel roll man!
And lastly, I saw a game on TA yesterday called Zombiewood and for a moment, I thought it might just be the first Gameloft game worth a shit. It's a freemium twin stick zombie shooter which, while not exactly original is still a good start. At first glance the art is really really good. The game has a great visual style, very cartoony and distinct. But unfortunately the frame rate is dogs hit, seriously Dark10x would actually froth at the mouth if he played it. And then the FUCKING CONTROLS are at the bottom of the FUCKING SCREEN. Yeah. Close, Gameloft, very close. But if you're going to copy Age of Zombies then also copy the flawless controls while you're at it.
Actually, I may put a control rant in the OP as my unique spin for the thread FUCK BOTTOM SCREEN IPAD CONTROLS!

You don't really. It seems that the design option is more about choosing what you're battling for - xp, items or gold. Actually a cool way of levelling I thought.
