Oh man, I wish I hadn't seen this post....King Cashing is phenomenal but so addicting!wondermega said:a couple things:
Also I have to recommend King Cashing (99c also) - RPG meets slot machines! What, right? Back to playing this as soon as I am done typing

Congratulations, you really deserve it!
I played king cashing all night last night. shadowgun and 9mm arent getting any love from me at the moment.

funny you should say that, I actually ported an old version to Wii a few years ago.. but through homebrew
I'm really intersted in making a 3DS version though. This game, more than pretty mcuh any other, would really benefit from stereoscopic 3D, as it's very difficult to judge the distance sometimes when your hovering in the air and trying to catch a star. I'd have to rent an office and stuff to become an approved developer by nintendo and I'm not sure I can afford that right now. I have some acquaintances working on 3DS games though so maybe I can work something out that way

Which is better on iphone/ipod - canabalt or mirror's edge?

does mirror's edge have levels? i thought they were both just endless runners on rooftops
yeah PRMac...let them write a press release, if you are not talented doing it yourself, and get one of their release bundles. Do updates often and tell people about it.beril said:So my game sold a whopping total of 14 copies on launch day. I figure I probably need some user reviews (among many other thing). If anyone feel like trying it out and leave a quick review (be honest but not brutal) PM me for a promo code.
The game is called Helium Boy. It's a cute little 3D platformer inspired by Balloon Fight and its gameboy sequel Balloon Kid. You fly through the levels using balloons and collect stars. Watch out for birds, ninjas and spikey things. If your balloons pop you can pump new ones and you can also let go of them at will and jump around without balloons. It requires GLES2.0 so iphone 3GS or later

After that send mails to all review sites that do free reviews. Include the press release, promo code and link to trailer/gameplay video. How about Twitter? Are you part of IDRTG, that might give a nice kickstart.

Oh awesome, I was just thinking yesterday that it was a shame it wasn't universal. Time to play it all over again!
EDIT: it even remembers my scores from the iPhone vision, that's pretty neat. Although it does mean I won't be playing through the whole thing right away... The golds in this game are next to impossible for me, anyone else have more luck with it?

Not actually that important

Doh! I thought I had a 3rd generation iPod Touch, but it turns out it's a 2nd generation one.
I only learned this by not being able to sync Rage HD to my Touch.
Oh well, I should be getting a new iPhone 4S (first iPhone, yay!), so it wasn't a waste of money.

I really wish Bastion would come to iOS. I think this game would be amazing on an iPad.

Just started playing Pocket Academy yesterday and it has overtaken my life. It's a fun sim game, but it's starting to get repetitive. After I finish it, I'm moving to Hot Springs then Mega Mall.
Another game I've been enjoying recently is Slam Dunk King. I like how it's similar to Fruit Ninja, but it's rather annoying trying to earn enough to unlock content without paying for them.
Btw guys, any word game recommendations? I'm eyeing Bookworm and Wooords. Any opinions on them?

Bookworm is terrible. It's the only endless game on iOS that's probably literally endless. I deleted it half way through a game because it became clear it was never going to end.one_kill said:
WordJong is the best word game on iOS, followed by Words with Friends, I guess, unless Zynga have ballsed that up since I played last.

Anyway. Bought.

Grr, still no Kairosoft games for the iPad. I have Grand Prix and Gamedev bought for Android but i would love to see them with on a bigger screen properly.
Any suggestions for tactic rpg's or sim-based games that are iPad native?

Em I'll give you some examples basically its trying to get as high as you can within lets lets Top 50 Action games on the Appstore listing, by:
Making frequent updates to their app to increase App Store visibility
Offering a lite version of their paid app to stimulate trial
Submitting their app to review blogs
Soliciting user reviews within the App Store
Making price cuts to stimulate demand
There are few other ways but its about being as close to 'Top Paid App' in games or 'Top Free App' so that the app is visible.

Pimp that shit man! What's the game called, got any screenshots? There's a lot of us in this thread, hell we even have IGN's mobile man among our ranks.
Good idea, need to pimp our "shit" too. Still it is not in the games catagory, but has GameCenter achievements and leaderboards, a GPS and Hidden object treasure hunt, Quiz and will get more minigames with each version:

9mm on the other hand is shit! the graphics are shit, the performance is shit, the controls are shit. deleted it after a few minutes.

I broke down and got Dofus Battles since I like the art enough to pay 170 yen for (normally 500 yen), this must be the same universe as that XBLA game Islands of Wakfu??? Or France simply likes to make games with stories that make hardly any sense but have extremely beautiful art?
I could swear some of the gems go away if you don't tap them before another enemy is destroyed, some annoyances like that but otherwise it's pretty cool.
The weekly Donut Games sales have basically taught me that I should never buy one of their games, because they will eventually go on sale. I like their games a lot, so I'm kind of surprised they are going to this level, maybe they really need sales/word of mouth so here is one paragraph from me. Mexiballs is not bad.
The Pigs in Air or whatever game where you draw lines with pigs in planes is pretty well made, I thought it would be yet another Angry Birds clone but it turned out to be more like tower defense meets the "draw a line to fly plane" game.
There are some other strange Korean and Chinese games I've gotten for free (GameCenter), most of them seems to have IAP of some sort of another which is not explained very well in the the descriptions which is becoming my "insta-delete" pet peeve.

Yeah I feel the same way. I really got into GameDev but PocketAcad, in the 5 minutes I tried not too long ago, felt like they were throwing me into the pool without swimming lessons.Meier said:
Yeah, the instructions only pop up after you've clicked various things.. stuff is already built so I'm losing money right off the bat. I hired a few teachers and didn't have the money coming in.. had to fire one and then pay severance, etc. It's quite daunting.. sheesh.RuneFactoryFanboy said:
