That's nothing more than a rip-off of Azkend. I'm amazed at the length these rip-off devs will go to...and by the way, "Free" for this game means IAP, actually.
Anyways, here's Azkend:

Girls Like Robots is fun, there's not much to say about it since you can pretty much get the gist of the game by watching the trailer but it's a cool little puzzle game. For those who haven't seen the trailer, it's a puzzle game where you arrange tiles on a grid. Robot tiles like being next to girl tiles and vice versa, nerds like to be on corners and next to robots and girls, girls don't like to be next to nerds, robots don't like to be surrounded by girls, etc. Tiles are given to you in a specific order (as in you might have to place two girls, a robot, then a nerd) and you try to maximize everyone's happiness. It gets more complex as you go along, the most recent levels I played through have tiles that slide away from each other. It's a lot slower paced then the typical Adult Swim score attack, but I'm really liking it.
Topia has me super excited, I don't know that I'll mess around with the sandbox too much but after doing the tutorials and screwing around for a few minutes I can't wait to see what this will look like after some updates.

Anyone know what the difference between Bit.Trip Beat HD and Blitz is?

At the moment, there's little to do outside of the incredibly well-conceived land formation/deformation tools and spawning creatures, but it bodes well. Some bugs and balance issues include carnivores being hideously overpowered and unstoppable - even amidst herbivore herds in their hundreds - and land deformation causing animals to slide down into the water and drown (mitigated by using the flatten tool to work little beaches into your coastlines), but I hope to high heaven this goes on to be what I *think* it should be.

Not 100% sure but I think Blitz is like a 'lite'/demo version of Beat.
Looks sick! Might get it later this week.
just thought I'll give a shoutout for Polara by HTWGames
was part of the beta-test process and really enjoyed playing it

Think of it as an Endless Runner, Ikaruga-style!
it's currently onsale at 0.99!

Bit.Tip Beat Blitz is a full-fledged game, has additional levels too IIRC. It's also the game we had one of the GAF iOS challenges on ages ago.
Word of caution though if you have an iPhone 5, the touch zones are completely off when played on the device so it can't be played properly.

You clearly didn't play Girls Like Robots then
That's my winner from this week (even if the only one I played).I wouldn't say I hate IGN
, but I do like the IGN mobile channel. While video reviews aren't really my thing, I do like the reviews in general. Much better than another siTe I cAn think of... The IGN Mobile section has come a long way since it conned me into buying Mouse About back in the day. (Which is nothing like Chu Chu Rocket!)Don't bother with World of Goo. Great game, but impossible on the small screen when your finger covers so much of the screen. It's way too hard to do the small movements you need in that game. Super Hexagon, Fruit Ninja, and Tilt to Live are all good though.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Yeah at first glance I thought it's an Azkend screenshot Great games, I bought both just to support them after playing the first which I would probably be content with. I like how they give it depth with the art and simple text and the bonus like find the area levels, which you can also ignore on replays or when you just wanna play the puzzles, they're not bloating it with real rpg elements etc.
So true. Going by the new update it seems to suggest it will remain at 6 minutes.
So far I'm forth in my group
Adding things like this makes me want to spend all my mobile time on this game. DIS GAME

Well TWEWY certainly has more cutscenes than gameplay, have you tried that?
I'll...get that when it's going for 4.99 >_>;
Thanks, will look them up on the iStore.
Wow, The Room was amazing! Loved every bit of it, not too difficult, not too easy but... too short! The atmosphere and the graphics really charmed me, I'm eagerly awaiting the next opus.
Craving for more, I bought The Curse that seems less serious, more conventional but really fun
In a different genre, I saw Wonderputt being featured on the AppStore, it's a really pretty minigolf game, nicely animated but ported from the free flash game on kongregate.

Wouldn't compressed audio be of lesser quality?
Holy shit, how smooth is the animation on Polara?!? Buying now. Not sure if the YT 30fps is making it look better than it is, but if it runs at 60... gawd damn.
Edit: Does the game in the trailer remind anyone of the music from Geometry Wars 2? So much so (to me), that I'd be surprised if it WASN'T the same composer. I hope it's in the game.

Strong truth. Everyone with an iPad should play this, it's almost perfect.

Alright, I'll get it when I get home.

You may be waiting a while. Even on sale, I doubt they'll lower it below $10. Can't speak for this port, but the DS version was well worth the full price.

What is this? Does it release next week?
Graphics are amazing. Love the weapons too.
Check post #4418, it's death dome, an Infinity Blade-like, already out:

I believe it's from Griptonite, the same guys who brought us the excellent DS version of Web of Shadows and then subsequently released nothing but regurgitated trash.
So I bought Organ Trail. The concept is really cool. Are the events after the intro random or do they play out the same way every time? Just curious, it could be highly repayable if it's different in every run but if not it would probably be a one-and-done deal.
It's all random.
think the developer will certainly be heartened by this! a lot of work was spent on the game (the graphics and animations went through a number of iterations! and the music took a lot of work too!)
for the rest, give Polara a try if you haven't! It's challenging and will definitely keep you on your iDevice for some good hours!
Nice. My pal Buttlove just got wasted by a bandit. My one shot was way off.
Game seems really cool so far. It's a novel enough take on the whole zombie apocalypse thing to feel fresh and it's tapping into my nostalgic memories of playing hours upon hours of Oregon Trail as a kid. Good stuff.
Yes, but I guess most people care about size rather than sound quality. I guess if you are using crappy earbuds or the built in speaker you couldn't hear the difference anyway.

That and it's fucking 20 year old JRPG music, who gives a shit (besides about 5000 mental weeaboos with terrible taste in music?).
Inflamatory comment for the day
I'd agree with you if it was FFVII music. Chrono Trigger actually has some catchy tracks.

I mean, for an old snes game maybe yeah. But 600 megs worth? No. Well I guess if you're going to spend 40 hours listening to the same loops of the same themes then you might as well have them as pure as possible...
I need to find a way of articulating by disdain for RPG music fanatics beyond "get a decent record collection"
yeah organ trail owns. it plays out differently each time and I love the charm of it. it's getting content added eventually as wel once the of version is out.

I wish Nintendo would put their old games on the iPad / iPhone.
So far I have: Sonic CD, Chrono Trigger. Are there any other console games I'm missing?

It's getting it IF they get through the Steam Greenlight process last I heard, to the point where the dev indicated (according to TA) that they would hold back content until we all support their PC port...
I had already voted for it on Greenlight but I don't like that approach.

That's reason enough for me NOT to buy the game.
