Question about Spellsword (really fun game!)

Do items add up beyond the max level? Say I have maxed out the rubyfind, does a hat with rubyfind +2 still help? I guess not.

welll i am f33l and i have an ipod!
HI!

 

[Enco]

My most played game is still Jetpack Joyride. I wish every game (or game center) told you your play time.

Jetpack Joyride - 17 hours (more than a lot of big retail games)
Grim Joggers - 3 hours
Chinatown Wars - 2 hours 40

I'm sure there are plenty other games I've played a lot but they have no stats.

Despite much farting about, I still cannot get Galaxy On Fire 2 to recognise my iCloud saves. Dunno what the issue is, dunno why it only affects this game (and why I'm the only one affected!) but I gave up and used the Openfeint slot instead. That worked without issue.

Gotta say, I don't think they should let you install the game on an iPhone 4. It runs like absolute shite, even with everything turned down, very little on the screen and following a reboot. It does say in the description that it's intended for the 4S / iPad2 & iPad 3 though, to be fair to them.

My current iPhone freemium guilty pleasure is Catapult King. It's basically Angry Birds in 3D.

My most played game is still Jetpack Joyride. I wish every game (or game center) told you your play time.

Mine would probably be Sentinel 3. Over 120 hours between iPhone and iPad.

Wow.

Sounds like I have to check that out :lol

edit: ah it's tower defence. Not a fan

 

[hyp]

pocket heroes got an update today. you can finally play with random players.

 

[Mike Works]

I honestly don't think I will ever get tired of Drop 7.

 

[AEREC]

Is Walking Dead enjoyable on iPhone or should I wait until I buy an iPad (Mini)?

It's fine on an iPhone 4s...as that and the iPad 3 are all Ive played it on. It's universal so you'll be able to download it to any other iOS device.

This.

I experienced some frame rate issues on the 4S and retina iPad but overall it was very enjoyable. Brilliant port.

 

[Diablohead]

The Openfeint slot you have to refresh before you can save over, I would hardly call that much better and instant compared to using the iCloud save slot which is, instant. But as you say you haven't used it so you wouldn't be aware of that.

It's just that I hear horror stories with icloud saves in multiple games, saves being reset or taking hours to transfer to the cloud, I worded my post wrong but IMO the openfient save for GoF2 is very instant, one extra press to refresh the save is not that annoying even if you save every station.

I've read about a bunch of issues with the game, but I haven't even seen so much as a stutter on my iPad 3. That sucks about your progress loss, though.

Making use of the pause button actually seems to help when it's time to take a break. After finishing my first run through I would highly recommend it. It's the first game on the iPad I've ever really played.

 

[SeanR1221]

60% done with Shellrazer and still having a blast.

Huge update for dead trigger hit today. New weapons, an arena, cloud saving and a slot machine are all part if it.

 

[neojubei]

What are ya'lls (yes, I'm from the South) favorite games from the past few years that you keep coming back to?

Galaxy on Fire 2 and Star Battlion.

Also two new zombie types and environments, aw yeah. And:

*New gadget: Head-Flator X100 to inflate the heads of zombies to XXXL size!

:lol

 

[Lee N]

Huge update for dead trigger hit today. New weapons, an arena, cloud saving and a slot machine are all part if it.

Also, it's currently free.

 

[HBP]

Also, it's currently free.

From what I read at the TA forum, it sounds like this is going to be free from now on and be a freemium (or more so) game now. People that paid for it get a "reward" equivalent to a .99cent IAP.

Edit: Just want to note that I haven't tried the game yet, but I did snag it since it's free.

 

[GeekyDad]

:lol

Head-inflate thing was a waste. Thought it was going to be an active item to make their heads blow-up. It just makes them look like silly bobbleheads. Chainsaw completely blows -- such low damage -- the zombies laugh at you.

But the iCloud update is the real boon for me. Just glad I can now upload my save and erase the app if I need to. I had fun with the game. Got way more than my dollar's worth, but it's funny to read all the complaints on TA.

 

[neojubei]

Also, it's currently free.

yes! i think i will download it now.

 

[Clunker]

Also, it's currently free.

Oh, awesome! I've been curious about Dead Trigger (I know, all of the handwringing over a 99 cent game -- I've become That Guy ), but now I'll definitely check it out.

Also, to reiterate something I saw from a page or two ago: The new update for Cthulhu Saves the World drastically] fixes the game, particularly the teeny tiny font problem. On my 4s it was even worse than something like Majestic, which is still pretty terrible in that department. The new virtual D-pad is way better than the old system they had; it's still a little finicky, but far more usable overall, and since it's turn-based I don't mind any on-screen virtual D-pads.

CSTW is an amazing neo-retro-RPG -- I played and loved the PC and 360 Indie Games version, and I'm a fan of the Zeboyd games in general, but Cthulhu is my favorite of the trio of games. Anyone looking for a more in-depth RPG experience should definitely scope it.

And since I also saw one of the devs from Ravenmark posting here: I love your game! I'm not that far in, but it's really challenging in terms of its huge emphasis on troop placement, something that took me a while to get used to (I got romped on the first "real" battle in the prologue two times before finally getting past it) but really makes it stand out compared to other handheld or even console strategy titles and SRPGs. The lore and overall writing is also very compelling. Definitely one of the most polished titles I've played in a while on iPhone.

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

I just picked up a wiimote and classic controller. My childhood portable snes dreams are now complete. Playing Super Metroid for the first time. Oh yes.

 

[chris121580]

I'm completely addicted to 10 million. Game has ran my battery completely out 2 nights in a row. I never could really get into Dungeon Raid but this I love

Confirming this, I got a reward of 25 gold + 10 casino chips when I started the game after the update. Love that there are daily rewards now too.

The game was pretty much stealth freemium from the start, it didn't really bother me as it's a good game regardless but I won't be buying Madfinger's next release day one like I did with this. I really liked Shadowgun and I'm still having tons of fun with Dead Trigger, but even with the "reward" is hard to not feel like a chump in these cases where a big release goes free in such a short time (1 month). Hopefully they either just make their next game freemium from the start or go the Shadowgun route where it's a bit pricier but isn't IAP-based.

(Their "we're free on Android because piracy is unbelievably high" statement sounds even more like bullshit now though, haha.)

My most played game is still Jetpack Joyride. I wish every game (or game center) told you your play time.

If you're jailbroken, download AppAnalytics (free.) It tracks the time played on every app on your device. Apparently I've been spending most of my time in safari on the iPad.

 

[toythatkills]

Gameloft are releasing some kind of Pokémon world building freemium thing tonight. I know it's going to be the worst game ever with 14 different premium currencies and 98 in-app purchases before you're allowed your first monster, but still, I'm interested.

EDIT: Freemium, Matt, you idiot.

 

[PittaGAF]

Kingdom Rush is FREAKING FANTASTIC.

On the retina iPad it's GORGEOUS, I love all those little details they put in.

I could use a bit of help for quest 11 tough...

Think it's actually free. I'll check it out, but I'm not expecting much more than Cityville.

Every mission/level has a youtube for it. Check them out, they will teach you in what order to build or what to build. I learned a lot of strategy (that I applied in later levels) just by imitating some of the techniques I watched on them.

Not jailbroken sadly.

I'll have to live in the dark. Not really that big an issue but I would have thought it's a simple Game Center feature to put in.

Dead Trigger is now a freemium :lol

 

[Dog Problems]

Well I can try it out now at least.

 

[Snuggles]

Just downloaded this. It's uninspired but the graphics are pretty damn good for a mobile game.

 

[Lupin3]

Megatroid was just released. According to the developers it's a mix between Mega Man and Metroid.

Looks good and has somewhat solid virtual controls.

And yes, it's free with IAP. Don't know if necessary yet though.

 

[Wario64]

Dead Trigger is now a freemium :lol

bububu piracy

That's what I was thinking, what's their excuse now? Makes them look bad.

Backstory?

 

[HBP]

Backstory?

Long story short they recently made the Android version free claiming a rediculous piracy rate for their reasoning of doing so, then they change the iOS version into a freemium game.

 

[kinggroin]

Backstory?

Developers said that it was made free on android because of the rampant piracy on the platform. No one but phone war warriors believed that bullshit....and, well, here we are with a free ios version now.

Thanks!!!
As a matter of fact, I just completed the game all alone.
3 stars everywhere except the last 2 quests (just 2, one enemy slipped in both ).
Now I'm onto the 3 additional quests and halfway completing the challenges.

My personal 'surprise of the last years' game.
Previous one was Puzzle Quest.
And I even do not like tower defense game.

I was mindblown when I read it was made bu just 3 people.
Attention to detail is incredible.

Anything similar while we wait for the new chapter?

 

[PFD]

i keep getting a tooltip to "make sure you RUN" or something in spellsword. how do you run? i only see him walk

I think they're simply reminding you to keep moving. There is no "run" button in the game if that's what you're asking.

Cursed Treasure HD is pretty damn good. You can try the flash version online for free. It's older than Kingdom Rush, so it's not as pretty/detailed. But it's very tightly balanced, and tons of fun imho.

 

[heringer]

That Justice League game is out. Who's going to be the guinea pig this time?

 

[Horseticuffs]

Well, I played about 10-15 minutes of dead trigger and really enjoyed it. Sure can't wait to give it a go on a 5th gen iPod touch to see how hot it can look on a newer device.

Bare in mind I kinda love grinding, so I may have a proclivity for this kinda game.

It's pretty good if you enjoy grinding, it doesn't even take long to get enough money or level up (after level 16 it's been a bit of a slog, not a problem though), and the gameplay is good if you don't abhor touch-based controls. I don't like grinding on PC/Console games but with mobile gaming it's a different matter because it means I can play on auto-pilot with no sound during a quick session while I'm on the go.

Thank you, downloading the lite version now.
I still have plenty to do in Kingdom Rush tough
