Drama between Touch Arcade and [insert developer here]? You must be kidding!
Maybe Madfinger started by way of a Kickstarter or something.

Controls for DT are much simpler than, say, Modern Combat. No zoom, crouch, sprint or grenade for example but the game controls very well imo. Running and gunning is easy.
Are you on an Ipod4 by any chance?

Contact Apple Support about it, at least you'll get your money back. (And get to keep the game!)
Looks like the forthcoming Thunderstone app will require Facebook to play. In fact, this appears to be a port of the Facebook app.
Bummer.

Wow. I just looked at the Dead Trigger thread on TA and it's absolute comedy.

No. It's awful.

Well, just broke into Shadowgun. Very impressive, as are all the Madfinger games I've played. But it's not as fun for me as Dead Trigger, and I can attribute that almost completely to the controls. Though the controls are almost the same, they don't work nearly as well. My gun keeps firing off when my thumb is nowhere near the fire button. Cover is, of course, finicky, though that's common in a lot of cover-based shooters. It's a very cool game all the same. The first boss was a nice change, and the presentation is ridiculous for a game I paid a dollar for.

Nope. Go buy 2 tacos and Jack in the Box instead. Seriously. Even if you don't like them and they give you diarrhea it's still better than what you get with Burnout Crash.
Nothing. All I know of it is that it's coming out soon, and Tim Rogers thinks it's better than ZiGURRAT.
It's based on the PSP version, with cut-scenes and all.
Space Miner HD is a dollar right now. Have it on my AppShopper from the NeoGAF list. Has something better come along in the same vein or is this still the one to grab?
If there was anything better out there it'd be all over the internet, because it'd have to be EXTREMELY brilliant. Space Miner is an awesome game, worth way more than just a dollar, absolute steal. You'll get LOADS of entertainment value out of it, trust me.

Okay Smiley, you win. I will buy it and add it to my growing backlog of dollar games that I most likely never play. Damn you Ascension...damn you.
I've given up on my backlog a long, long time ago. Space Miner was one of the games I actually played AND FINISHED (yes, I'm quite proud of myself) though, you should give it a start though, it's quite addicting. And if you don't wanna bother with new game+ then you can put it away after that

I really want that, but it doesn't look like it would work with the Bumper case attached. That's enough to doom it, for me. I mean, who doesn't have a case on their iPhone?
That, and it looks a bit bulky. Ah well. I'll stick with Wiimotes and emulators.
Did you read the review at all? I stopped reading when they compared it to Epic Citadel. Fucking joke of a site.
And I think I'm going to re-buy Space Miner. I remember buying it when I had a 3GS, but I think the 4/4S Retina is only supported in the HD one?

it's an old game, so HD is probably ipad only. Pretty sure the iphone was updated for retina a while back.
Also real talk.
Madfinger's 2 samurai games > their recent shooters.

I felt the same way. You are MUCH better off with the two Hunters games in the same genre.

Is there a spelunky ios equivalent?
Yep, I actually made a "Disqus" (I think that's what it is) account just to post a comment saying how bullshit the review was. Way more of a game than Epic Citadel. What a terrible review site. I still read their news/previews because it's the best out there, but they're bad for anything else.
I don't. Cases on iPhones are like burqas on supermodels.

Still digging CSR Racing. I've managed to hit Tier 4 without spending a penny yet.
Amen.
Amen.
They have samurai games? I actually only own their two shooters, ahaha. I'm guessing they're probably on sale to promote DT as well.
And yeah, from what I can see, Space Miner HD is iPad-only. Not sure if the vanilla one makes full use of 4/4S Retina (though there is "Space Miner Blast", an "arcade" version that has Retina support).
I wound up deleting it. Couldn't really see how it was going to change beyond earn money, upgrade car, race, lose... repeat. Couldn't see it getting any more entertaining than it was, that was shortly after getting to the third tier.

funny enough, i have cases on my iphone BECAUSE i play games and this thing heats up like a motherfucker with anything 3d.
Like i said, Space Miner iphone DOES have retina support!
Ah that's fair enough then, I don't use mine for gaming much but it goes supernova when I use it for GPS for more than 15 mins.
It doesn't change, I'm just easily pleased when it comes to bite-sized entertainment on the go!
(I say that, but I've put down Gravity Rush, Rayman Origins & MGS:HD to play this instead. Mental).

it doesn't hurt that each race is literally like 10-20secs long.
I saw with this game what happened to me with Power of Coin. Deleted before I could change my mind
And chickdigger802, reinstalling now! And I think I'll buy that "arcade" version, too. If it's only space fights, it just means it'll be even more like Star Control 2. No problem with that.
I bought the second Madfinger samurai game, too. Looks good but haven't fired it up yet. Still having too much fun with Dead Trigger, funnily enough.
It's funny. I've finally worked out how to get majority of games working well on my PC (stupid Crossfire etc.) but I still spend more time playing iOS stuff. Pinball Arcade, Shibuya (ugh, so GOOD) and Dead Trigger are owning me right now. A Little Turbulence is a bit of fun, too.
After recently finally having bought Mass Effect 3, I find myself reinstalling both Mass Effect: Infiltrator and the Datapad app, LOVE how they connect to the game and can affect things like galactic readiness. I'm amazed that this didn't get more coverage, it's kinda simple but very much feels like the beginnings of something next-gen to be able to quit your game and then, in a way, keep playing it in totally different ways while on the bus or whatever (or on the toilet).

I play CSR still because the way you progress and take out the factions is reason enough to get to the end of the game, it has a very VERY lite story but it's more then a lot of F2P games give you on iOS, plus the drag racing is done really well.
Not bought any currency yet as i've had no need, there is a little grind but it's not that much a few races can't fix.

This is mostly OT but it has to do with the app approval process and it's pretty funny:

Yeah, the second one's much, much better, though the first is decent. But Samurai 2 is easily one of the prettiest games on iOS.
I'm curious to see what the twist is that will extend this into the claimed 10 hours of gameplay.
No news regarding Summoner Wars?
Gary Weis posted on BGG yesterday around 2PM PST that it's status moved from 'Waiting for Review' to 'In Review'...and historically it has been only a matter of an hour plus at the most for their other apps to be approved from that point.
Nothing has come back so far, though, and the last update he posted around 930 PST last night was :

Is there a good picross game that someone would vouch for available for iPod?
Hi there,
I would like to share with you my wife's last game. She did it alone.
VIDEO HERE -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-mNS23bdTo
This game is like a mix of Missile Command and Space Invaders, with upgrades and so. The objetive is to survive 25 waves of enemies and has online ranking. Any constructive review will be welcome. Thanks!
Looks all right. What's the game's name?

Has that wanker Eli Hoddap or whatever he is called commented on the stupidly low review as yet? considering TA usually give everything a glowing review it's conspicuous to say the least.
It's sad that he feels the need to use TA as his own personal tool for E-hate.
