Dammit! Empire of the Eclipse has been rejected by Apple. Apple seems to have taken issue with their subscription model but hopefully they can find a solution somehow, I thought the game looked really cool :(

From the sound of things they seem to have gone for a magazine esque sub model instead of an IAP for X months game time type of model that the MMO Order & Chaos has been using for a year. Hopefully it doesn't take too long for them to re-tool their model to suit.
 
So chaos rings 2 is about $20.

And naturally no universal, but at least ipad and iphone version launches simultaneously.

I do hope the shopkeeper guy is back. Best shop theme ever!
 
I'm in Canada. I've only ever seen songs at Starbucks. Is there a particular day when they switch it up? Maybe the one I went to was waiting for the songs to run out to put out the next week's codes.

I live in Toronto. I had only ever seen song download cards until last week I believe? Grabbed Snapseed and then on Monday, I saw they'd just stocked Tetris cards. Grabbed a handful.
 
I just realized that they removed Faerie Solitaire from the store, and deleted it from my purchase history. Why did they do that?
 
Alright, a buddy of mine asked if there are any iOS games inspired by Portal. I can't think of any off the top of my head, but the collective mind of iOS-GAF should be able to give me a yay or nay to the question.

What say you?

Does your friend have an iPad? Incoboto is a very clever adventure/puzzle game that reminds me more of Super Mario Galaxy than Portal but it also uses portals frequently in puzzles!
 
So I searched for Power of Coin last night after reading a few posts about it. Can anyone tell me the difference between Power of Coin and Power of Coin (P)? I couldn't understand why there were two versions.

Get the (P) if its still free. P means paid, obviously.


Can't wait to buy Chaos Rings 2.
 
what a weekend.

we decided to make our game "Nosferatu - Run from the Sun" for free on friday, just to check out what happens and gather some experience. I guessed we'd make about 1k-2k downloads, as always, pessimistic to the bone.

but WTF, we are still ranked in the Top 5 of all apps in Germany and people all over the world downloaded Nosferatu over 100.000 times. not only that, but people love the game, 4.5 - 5 iTunes ratings everywhere. seems we got some things right. :-)

we'll stay free for at least another 5 days and try to gain momentum in other countries.

that said, Nosferatu was developed with a very limited time frame in mind. we did away with many good ideas from the original concept, because we just hadn't the resources to do otherwise. but now things look different. we started working on updates right away: achievments, new character looks, more backgrounds etc. etc.

if you haven't already, take a look at the game: it's free, so no harm done if you do not like it. :-) click at Nos and he'll take you to iTunes!

Grabbed. I'll try and pass on some impressions once I get the chance to play it :)
 
So, new iPad will be at my door on friday, im gonna need some new games.


What are some of the best iPad only games out there?


Incoboto is awesome and just came out, play with headphones! Kids vs Goblins and Squids are also highly recommended. I feel like most iPad exclusive games become Universal before long. I can't recall any others right now.

Edit: If you like strategy then Ravenmark is a must if you haven't played it yet.

Not really the same idea, but Continuity 2 is a really clever 2D platformer that has you shifting mismatched tiles to get to the exit. It's a little tough to explain so just look it up

Hold off until we know which games will support the native resolution of the iPad 3. I reckon most games won't look that great unless they're updated, so beware.
 
Kingdom Rush is one of the best games of last year. Everyone needs to play it. Even if you think you are burnt out on tower defense games.

Well, I wont be buying anything till I have it anyway. I just want to compile a list of some games that look interesting. Plus im sure most stuff will look fine on it anyway, retina support or not.


Its true that a lot of iPad only games end up going universal/releasing a new app, but there are some like, Machinarium, Drawn: The Painted Tower, and Small world to name a couple that I want to play.

and now I will add Kingdom Rush, Incoboto and Ravenmark.

There's one pretty good one called D-Capitatrix. You can check out the review, or check out this video on youtube. Really Fun game. One day I've got to make a list of the really awesome obscure iOS games...

I am totally grabbing this tonight. I try to make a list of developers to support, especially from GAF!

I feel the same way. I don't think it's just one of the best iOS games of last year-it's one of the BEST GAMES of last year, period. That studio is incredibly talented. I've said it before-out of any game announcement on any platform for any genre-I would be most excited about news about new Content or a Sequel for Kingdom Rush. Amazing game.
 
Good to hear, gonna grab LoE1 then and try it out first.
The issue I have with the first game is simply that it's a 2D platformer that basically scrolls at 20 fps. It's choppy looking in motion as a result.

The sequel, however, moves at a smooth 60 fps and feels *MUCH* better as a result.

Bummer. I already paid for LoE1 though. It's still awesome but I think I'll just grab LoE2 somewhere down the road when it's cheap again.
 
I just don't see myself finishing LoE1 before LoE2 hits .99 again ;)

Also guys, with all the planets aligning Chaos Rings 2 being released tomorrow you might get some Square Enix games on the "cheap".

But if you wanna buy it anyway... Why not buy it now and keep it in the backlog? Since it's .99 now anyway...
 
From DoDonPachi Resurrection HD description:
"This game may not be played in intended speed if played on iPhone 4."

Not disappointed, expected this. Performance of DDPR clearly showed they were not going to be able to deliver an HD version that runs smoothly on iPhone 4. Game will probably rock on 4S and above though!
 
First person with a Canadian iTunes Store account to quote this post gets a code for a free copy of Tetris.

I have one, but can I get the code given directly to Zzoram? :) thanks!

Edit: because he can't find a starbucks with tetris codes... And I probably could if i actually went to Starbucks. I have a Canadian account too though if you find that it too scammy to give away gifts ;)
 
Quite a few cool games hitting tonight. Will be picking up:
