decent game with nice graphics but difficult to use virtual d-pad. I guess they made it free cus it wasn't selling. very reminiscent of 'gargoyle's quest' for gameboy.

Yeah, it got ahold of me pretty good last night.
I thought the controls were fine on iPad. You can move the d-pad and buttons anywhere on the screen in the options menu.

Haha. Oops. It's still worth that extra dollar.
Pixel People is cool. Yes, it's another time management game, but it has the charming presentation of a Nimblebit but more involved and varied like Jurassic Park Builder or Happy Street, meaning it isn't as mindlessly simple as something like Tiny Tower. It is kinda by-the-numbers for the genre but splicing clones is a lot of fun, you never know what you're gonna get. Plus I just made a Corgi which is pretty awesome.
I'm not 100% sure these codes I have for Cook, Serve, Delicious! are still active (that is, if they haven't expired), so here ya go! (quote to reveal, iPad 2+ only).
If you get one, please let me know if it went through OK.
Also just submitted a new update to Apple that adds four new foods...an all new Breakfast menu.

Got the second code, thanks

EDIT: daaaaaaamn, fucking hell, you said it was for Ipad in your very post. I didn't see it. Fuuuuck. Sorry.
Well now you have a game for whenever you buy an iPad at least.
Yeah I am planning to buy an Ipad later this year. :/

FYI the spirit discount for Pixel People caps out at 50% for land upgrades. So don't spend more space/Utopium than you need to on premium decorations. Save your Utopium for high-end premium residences. You should have enough to buy everything you want.

Perfect. And I bet people will still click into it and asked once a page.
Pixel People definitely is. Haven't played TTR. Dungelot and Joe Danger: Touch deserve to be up there, too.
Don't forget Little Inferno. I've yet to play it, but it's made by the same people who did World of Goo.

Technically it is made by 1/2 of the people that made World of Goo (Kyle Gabler), the creator of Henry Hatsworth (Kyle Grey), and a super amazing programmer (Allan Blomquist).
RE: Pixel People. What's the point of building roads? It's not entirely clear why I need them, but I haven't been building any so far. Hopefully I don't regret that. I've got absolutely nothing done at work thanks to this game .
Also, maybe someone should make an OT for it if there's enough demand.

No actual point, but it does make everything a bit more spaced out and easier to see. It's mainly cosmetic
Nice, was in line with one I had in mind: "The month Star Command releases! ..or not!"
Joe Danger is up there, didn't realise Dungelot was a January game (thought it just had an update!) Will put it in the OP now and it'll also be featured in Feb's thread near the top. Pixel People added as well, TTR too -- it seems to have positive buzz going and the gameplay trailers look nice. If it's terrible I'll revoke it's GAFdom status soon enough.
Oh! Didn't know they were working on a iOS port of that game, added!

iOS Gaming February |OT| No News on Phoenix Wright HD, Star Command, Infinity Blade Dungeons-so don't ask.

Puzzle Saga just went free.
It looks like Clash of Heroes, but it's not. It plays more as a high-speed match three like Zookeeper or Bejeweled, but your goal is as in CoH, destroy the enemy on the other side. Upgradeable units and all that stuff. Worth checking out.

You win.
I had a little time to kill so here's a Pixel People OT in case anyone's interested: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=47139520#post47139520

I'm really disappointed in Table Top Racing. I was expecting big things.
First off I thought it was either top-down or isometric. It's neither. It's a basic third person racing game on tracks that wouldn't look out of place in Micro Machines.
The AI is really dumb. You end up with one guy out in front, and the other 4 just huddle in a bunch constantly bouncing off each other.
The controls are a bit shit. It's a basically left-right hold the screen method, and when you turn so much the car will automatically do a kind of handbrake turn around the corner.
Generally, it's just a disappointment to me. I think I'd rather play some of the other top down racers on iOS than this. Stuff like Reckless etc.

Doesn't it also lack sense of pace?

It's not so bad once you upgrade your vehicle a bit. Goes a decent pace then.
But of course there is a bunch of 'Stars' to buy to unlock all that shit early. The Store button is constantly bouncing in the corner when you're in the garage.
I'm playing it now, quite awesome, thought a bit on the slower side which is OK.
I would not put Star Command in the thread title.

I'll believe it when I see it.
Reading between the lines of all the dev's statements it's pretty clear it is coming at some point in February.
Having it in the thread title would be fittingly tongue-in-cheek in that sense.

Oh didn't know you worked on CSD... just like you to know my wife LOVES the game and gets so upset if she doesn't perfect a day, lol
You know it never even dawned on me that my girlfriend might like this game too. Guess I have to buy a second copy now.
It looks good but I would rather a port of FTL really.

Is there anything in the update like the Christmas tree that people have to visit?
For people that aren't aware, the update increases the price of all the premium stuff 1.5x, so make sure you've spent all your Flooz before updating. To offset it, street expansions are now in coins.
Why? Who cares about the cost increase?
It doesn't look like it.
The new Chinese New Years buildings cost a total of 290 flooz, and have to be bought in the next 28 days. I'm pretty sure that's impossible to reach without making an IAP, especially with their new economy. A lot of the ways you could get flooz while playing the game now only give you coins.
