Yep, this sucks. I've had to stop playing Run Roo Run, because I want to tap the far left-hand corner of the screen to make him jump. Even tapping the virtual border of the screen causes me to whiff, so I'll wait for iPhone 5 support.New iPhone 5 "issue": swiping off the screen for non-1136x640 games. Man..
Peculiar issue since there isn't any tactile border on the non iPhone 5 screen to begin with but somehow one manages to mentally conjure up this fictitious "swipe-able area" based on the screen dimension under the glass which doesn't correspond to what the app underneath is displaying.

Ok that is ridiculous that we now have LTE that is faster than internet at home and they still have the 50mb limit for over the air app downloading.

Guys, try out Crazy Strawman, it's a puzzle platformer akin to Braid etc where you control a scarecrow and his shadow. It's pretty cool so far.

Haven't tried.
But yes, you're on the right track...the dev described it as a sort of cross between Fire Emblem and Langrisser; as well as a work in progress :

MFers why do I come into this thread?? I always end buying games that I hardly play.This time it's Groove Coaster.
You won't regret it, now I want to reinstall and play it all over again.

Has anybody heard tell of an iOS FTL port? Love the game on Steam and have to think it would be great on a touchscreen.
Star Command seems similar in nature, albeit with a slightly different focus (oh shit that might be out soon!).
I haven't heard anything about the FTL guys looking at mobile platforms, though I would be interested in the possibility as well.

This game would be perfect for iOS, especially on iPad.
Is FIFA 13 worth getting for the online play?
Also what were today's Phoenix Wright news?
I'm thinking of going on a little iOS spray, good or bad?:
- The Last Express
- FIFA 13
- Rayman Jungle Run
- The Room
- Minecraft: Pocket Edition
- NOVA 3
Suggestions? I'm on iPhone 5.

Hey guys add me to your list - SuperPac. My high score is only like 1 billion-something (it's higher on the sandboxed leaderboard, I gotta play more of the release version).

On the global leaderboards for Super Monsters Ate My Condo, Wario was always above me, mocking me. Now I just hit 888.13 Million, which still only puts me at 113th in the world.
I know people seem to be complaining about the IAP, but I've been completely unaffected by them. Honestly, the boosts and hats give the game a bit more structure. There's a bit more at stake for every individual match as you not only push for high score but for coins as well (which the game is pretty generous in giving out).

So that Phoenix wright news was about some clone. Hilarious.

What a surprise that Touch Arcade was full of shit. Big whoop.
I know. Having Wario on my friends list makes me feel ridiculously inadequate . The guy is a freaking machine. Not only at the top of my friends list, but usually one of the top players world wide.
All good except NOVA3 is a bit weak, swap it for Modern Combat 3, and Minecraft is way better on PC if you have the option to play it on PC instead.

I would hold off on NOVA. It runs really bad at the moment. I'm sure it'll get patched to creamy goodness status later, but it's decidedly chunky soy butter ATM.
I got Modern Combat 3 but I'm looking for games with voice chat and NOVA 3 just got that. Also, I would rather play games on iOS than PC. Thanks for feedback.
I'll keep away from NOVA3. Other games with video or voice chat?
It's surprising to me more haven't done these features seing most iOS devices have microphones and cameras.

Play it then ffs!
I don't understand this obsession with adding games to a backlog. Just play what you got, buy more if you need more. It's not like they're going anywhere, they'll be there later when you're ready.

- The Last Express - really good as long as you're not a total graphics horse. Dark10x would have an epileptic fit if he played it.
- FIFA 13 - it's football, I dunno. Heringer likes it (at least I think it was him - one of those dudes that likes the Fling)
- Rayman Jungle Run - pretty good stuff
- The Room - fucking amazeballs. Might suck on the phone though, it's an iPad game through and through
- Minecraft: Pocket Edition - shitty gimped port. Buy it only if you're really into just building
- NOVA 3 - gameloft shooter

YMMV but I really don't see the attraction of voice chat on an iOS game. Just make a phone call if you're lonely

Despite many negative comments about the game (and many stellar reviews tough) I was literally blown away by God of Blades.
It's like all my youth dreaming about scifi and fantasy where condensed by Boris Vallejo in a game.
It's a tad easy (till the bosses anyway) but boys, it's gorgeous.
Will post other impressions tomorrow, after more hours under the belt.

Touch arcade just did a feature on the top 10 anticipated games. Personally I'm looking forward to Baldurs Gate and Frozen Synapse.
Junk Jack is MILES better than minecraft. It's more like Terraria than minecraft though, for better or worse. (Personally, I like Terriara more than minecraft, but Junk Jack is DEFINITELY the better iOS game than minecraft.)
Yes, if you want Minecraft on iOS, get Junk Jack. Skip Minecraft: PE.

Disappointed that they weren't talking about Phoenix Wright, but this game looks fucking GREAT. Wonder about the strategy elements, but it reminds me of an old adventure game in a way.

Is everyone watching the same trailer as me? I was shocked at how atrocious it looked. Maybe my mistake was going in expecting it to be somewhat similar to Phoenix Wright. Pimp your flat to gain skills? Blech. The actual court scenes seem to be just throwing the skills you unlock at the witnesses/evidence to "defeat" them. Based on that trailer I would be shocked if there was any puzzle solving or critical thinking required. I'd love to be proven wrong come October 11th, but everything about it rubbed me the wrong way.
You're not alone. It doesn't look good at all.
Great presentation, dull gameplay. Very much on the style over substance side. :/
iPad res:
Shogun
Phoenix HD
Dodonpachi Resurrection HD
Espgaluda II HD
Non iPad res:
Dodonpachi Blissful Death
Bug Princess
Bug Princess 2
Bug Princess 2 Black Label
Deathsmiles
My favorite is BP2 Black Label. Shogun and Phoenix are the only non-Cave shmups I play, and they're pretty good.
Edit: some of the lower res games are actually universal apps but they have iPhone or sub-iPhone res assets. The "HD" games have much better assets and look particularly great on iPad 2.

My favorite shooter of the bunch is Bug Princess 2. Black Label is probably a better game, but I can't hardly tell the difference most of the time, and the "upgrade" doesn't seem to justify double the cost.

Emphasis on 'looks', I'm not even sure what kind of game its trying to be, but I think it has fantastic presentation. Eh, we'll see.
So I'm liking the iPhone 4. Not a huge fan of the OS and app store and what not (I feel like I can't do anything and have no options, coming from an S3), but the selection of apps and games are fantastic. One question, though, is there a way to not have it ask for your password almost every time you make a purchase? Just like something to opt out of it (I have it where you have to enter a pass code to open the iPhone anyway, so I'm not worried about it it not asking for the password).
You can make it so it only asks every 15 mins or something, its in the settings somewhere

My iPhone is jailbroken and there's a tweak that prevents it from asking everytime.
Eh, that's such a small amount of time that's it's not really worth it. Thanks for the answer, though.
Hmm...may have to consider doing this.
Just like Rayman Jungle Run!

Sorry about that, I was talking about the discussion on P1P though, I haven't read the thread on the game.
What's the best way to get some GAFfers on my friends list? Do people still check that list or should I just add people myself? I'd like to have some scores to compare to outside the global leaderboards but my friends with Apple devices just play free crap/ Angry Birds/ other games I'm not interested in.
Edit: Figure I won't get in trouble for this even though there is the list in the OP: My GC username is Dinner Cat, add me if you please. I'm not playing too many new games right now, kind of playing catch up on cool looking stuff after not having an iOS device for a while, but generally I keep up on new score attack games.
