Gun Bros has an experience/economy for upgrading your dude. Also is free, and can be played completely competently without spending a dime, but if you feel like it you can spend real world $ for upgrades. Plus there are social aspects that let you benefit from friends.heringer said:Dual-stick shooters never really picked my interest, but I liked Minigore.

it's not dual-stick per se but check out tilt to live if you're not totally averse to tilt controls. not a big fan of either dual-stick-style games or tilt controls and yet i love that game.heringer said:Dual-stick shooters never really picked my interest, but I liked Minigore.

Age of Zombies is pretty damn good. Lovely pixel art, too.heringer said:Dual-stick shooters never really picked my interest, but I liked Minigore. Is there any dual-stick shooter with some depth behind it instead of just trying for better scores?
Both Monkey Island Special Editions (if you already played them, feel free to skip the first as the iPhone version is especially terrible Luckily, the second one is quite good)Oli said:Rather than starting a new thread, I figured I'd use this one. I'm getting an iPod touch and I want some awesome game-age on it.
Some stuff I'm thinking about already:
Final Fantasy 1 (and/or) 2
Final Fantasy Tactics (When it comes out)
Cut the Rope (Or whatever it's called)
Otherwise I have no idea what the good stuff is. Inform me GAF!
I tried Gun Bros. It's cool and it does have the kind of depth I want, but I didn't found the gameplay to be very enjoyable. It's not bad, but it's not as satisfying and rewarding as something like Minigore.viralmarketeer said:Gun Bros has an experience/economy for upgrading your dude.

Age of Zombies looks cool, but isn't it shallow like Minigore? My main problem with games like this is that I really don't care about getting better scores. I like the gameplay, but without the content everything feels kinda pointless to me. :/Jocchan said:Age of Zombies is pretty damn good. Lovely pixel art, too.
Also, Dudebro II once it's finally done (might still take a while though ).

Could try a general purpose USB battery pack along with a standard iPod USB cable, which they probably make in short lengths (if not retractable cord types) that would fit your use.Diablohead said:I have been in a bit of an experimental mood this week and want to work out a good solution to the tiny battery life of a 2g touch, I was thinking about buying one of those external but small battery boosters like this, but instead of sticking it out the bottom I would buy a cheap extension iphone cable, cut it down to about 2 inches and make a pocket on the back of the touch to house the battery while plugged in using a cheap 2g touch plastic shell.
What do you think? my main gaming time is at night or away from home and the 1.5 to 2 hours average life when under load is rather poor.

Any idea if a usb charge pack/stick/thing would work? ipods and iphones can be rather strict. USB to iphone cable with a usb charge pack sounds reasonable.
Gun Bros tbh is the very definition of shallow.heringer said:I tried Gun Bros. It's cool and it does have the kind of depth I want, but I didn't found the gameplay to be very enjoyable. It's not bad, but it's not as satisfying and rewarding as something like Minigore.

Hey. Did your last game get released in the end? I remember you said you were submitting it for approval, but didn't hear much about it after that.60_gig_PS3 said:I need some help testing my iphone game. It's a sci fi ball rolling game with bad art.

Age of Zombies has several waves of enemies you need to survive to get to the next map, with some bosses in-between.
Guerrilla Bob has real level progression instead of arenas.

First iDevice game I've downloaded in a while and I really like it. Might have the best controls of any dual stick shooter I've played. The upgrades and leveling are pretty nice as well.deim0s said:Anyone, Robokill any good? It seems like a SmashTV/Robotron-esque game.
I just noticed it, however, it look like they rereleased it or something, cause it wants me to buy it but it's already on my phone.Koodo said:SHIBUYA has a new update out! Brings GC support and some other little things I can't remember (probably bug fixes).
You probably suck at the game. Nothing against you, just being realistic. Try Dodonpachi (lite) too. You'll suck at it too but that's ok.Glass Joe said:I d/l upon suggestion the lite version of Espgaluda 2... It's too short for me to really describe whether or not it's worth the money. It's crazy graphically and definitely exciting, and it controls great... but I'm not sure if I was good at the game or if the graphics are just wild. I had fun, but for $9, I'm not sold on the full version just yet.
I will say it's much better than xFighter 2, which is "free" at the moment. However, "free" for a day (or however long it places itself) is totally false in that you get stuck with an ad version. Also (at least for me) the game frickin freezes before it can EVEN be played. Wasting the time to download this pissed me right off.
It depends on the pack but like the one linked a few posts back there are some that work. I have an eneloop branded 5000mah one (that only seemed to be sold in Costco for a short time in the US?) that works fine for my iPhone and iPad (the latter of which can be picky with chargers). I think it was $25 or $35. That one linked above (also 5000mah) is pretty good capacity for the price, there's a lot that cost more and many have less capacity.Diablohead said:Any idea if a usb charge pack/stick/thing would work? ipods and iphones can be rather strict.

Yeah, that's the only way I do updates (can, no Internet but edge)Fusebox said:Go to the App Store on your iPhone and select the Updates tab at the bottom instead.
No, the update button said 1.99. Like I didn't have it at all, and it wasn't in the update list. Thanks but fixed now.Fusebox said:And when you select 'update' it asks you if you want to purchase the app? I've never seen that before.
ivedoneyourmom said:No, the update button said 1.99.
No, I don't jb, but I did update firmware a little while ago, maybe that was it, and I have an app that can't update cause it is too large for edge, so is perpetually paused till I get to my next Starbucks. That may be it too.Fusebox said:Well I've never seen that one before either! V interesting. Was it a JB issue?
Jonnyram said:Hey. Did your last game get released in the end? I remember you said you were submitting it for approval, but didn't hear much about it after that.
It's definitely deeper and more complex than Minigore, but honestly the core gameplay left me completely unimpressed. Minigore is simpler and much more repetitive, but I had more fun with it.Minsc said:Gun Bros is more fun than Minigore, at least the enemies are more varied. I killed over 1000 things in Minigore and 95% of them are the same run right at you enemy.
Gun Bros feels more like a shump at time with bullets flying everywhere. I also prefer the progress method for advancing in worlds (completed waves) in Gun Bros over the non-existent one in Minigore. It's not great or anything, but for a mindless game, it does the job better imo.

Did you actually have the game on your phone? If you've gotten it in the past but don't have it on your device, it looks like you're rebuying again but then it figures out that you already have it on your account. It also won't show up in your updates unless it is on your device.ivedoneyourmom said:No, I don't jb, but I did update firmware a little while ago, maybe that was it, and I have an app that can't update cause it is too large for edge, so is perpetually paused till I get to my next Starbucks.

There's a massive difference between being good at them and merely surviving. The latter isn't too hard in these.
As for that xFighter game, it looks like they ripped of sprites from Raiden and I think another game, can't remember what that other ship looks like.
If you wanted a football game would you go for Madden or keep going through cheaper alternatives like this and this?

Only thing to keep in mind is the size of it, it's not that big but if you have small pockets it could pose a problem. Ultimately it's like carrying another small device.
