I just bought Lords of Waterdeep and for the first time (I think) I created a Playdek account (didn't play Ascension since ages)....is it normal I can't see my Gamecenter friends anymore? Do I have to manually add them with their Playdek accounts????

Yeah, they went with their own system. Dems the breaks.

Shit is going down soon in Jetpack, I'm very excited to show you guys what I've been working on :)
 
So I have to manually add everyone?
Couldn't they import them?
I used to see my GC friends in Ascension...now I have just an empty list.

:(

Yeah, but on the flip-side it's very easy to add friends (no need to wait for confirmation). It's a small consolation, but it's there. And while you're at it, feel free to add me (same name as here on GAF). :)

You don't have to manually add anyone.

Try loading up your online friend list or playing online in Ascension then come back to the other game.

A ton of people had this same when they started this .. you just have to log in or play another game or some shit.
It works itself out, tho.

Thanks to everyone that answered me.
Actually Ascension didn't work because it does require the new login but Nightfall did the trick.
Loading Nightfall (which doesn't have the new playdek login) loads somehow all my GC friends in my playdek account (do not how it associate those...but it works).
Now I see everyone in Lords of Waterdeep.
Thanks again.
 
Are there any iOS Wizardry-likes out there? Something similar to DS games Etrian Odyssey and The Dark Spire?

Etrian Odyssey? Mm... probably the Chaos Rings series, particularly Chaos Ring 2 for your turn-based/jrpg specifications. Other suggestions that do not fit your description are Magicka and/or Battleheart. They're just really fun, lol.

I finally checked out the first Kingdom Rush and oh my god, amazing tower defense game. There is such a unique charm in it. Between KR, Asphalt 8, and Oceanhorn, I'm having difficulty finding time to play The Last of Us (dead serious). Looking forward to Kingdom Rush: Frontiers already.

HOLD ON TO YOUR BUTTS

Omg. Omgomgomg
 
Fine aside from the long initial load. It only has problems on the original mini.

I thought X-Com's latest update fixed that? I have the OG Mini and I have yet to grab the game for this very reason (although with my backlog now I'll be waiting for something in the region of a 66% sale discount

Very cool Skulls of the Shogun has finally made it to ipad. Definitely will be picking it up in the coming days/weeks.

Now I'm happy I've never picked up the game on XBLA/Steam, I just don't plat this games on anything bar handhelds/portable devices, Fire Emblem is the only exception I usually make (and even then I still haven't finished Radiant Dawn, which -being one of my fav series- it says everything on how I feel playing this genre while sitting in front of my TV/pj).
Will definitely pick it up in the upcoming weeks.

If you bought Skulls and it's bombing on launch, we've run into an issue where the game may not start if "Region Format" is not set to "United States." We are patching ASAP; for now, please select Settings -> General -> International -> Region Format -> United States.

THAT IS ALL!

Goddamn I hope that doesn't mean 1-star reviews flood incoming :(
Most people don't bother updating their 1-star reviews when updates fix problems


Lol, trailer is hilarious :)
 
JPJR is the only game with ads I tolerate, despite the fact I paid for it pre the f2p model...

Its that good.

Whats not good is the fact the removed the santa suit I owned so I have to buy it again...

Nope. They fixed it for ipad2, but original mini still crashes all the time. Would say don't bother with the game unless you're getting a new device soon.
 
Ohhhhhhh shit. Looks interesting! Have been getting back into JJ a bunch recently so looking forward to this, amazing how you guys have supported it!

Says it's out now - I'm assuming this is getting rolled out tomorrow?

It's propogating through the store at the moment, it should be up anytime now :)
 
Meh, Skulls of Shogun crashes on my iPad all the time, can't start it up. :(

There's a note in the app description with a possible solution if your region isn't set to US. They are supposed to be in the process of getting an update that fixes that issue (if that's what you're having) soon.

Aha, will keep checking, thanks! Also, as a random question - if you've purchased both the random head and random body options in the store, is there an option to have it select random complete outfits?
 
Was Shifts removed from the AppStore? I tried to download an update, then it suddenly disappeared from the store.
 
The cartoon racer just went live in New Zealand, as part of an iOS soft launch. We went to check it out and found a game that has been given the full - and we mean full - free-to-play package.

It's got $100 cars and energy systems and pay-for power-ups and multiple currencies and advertising. It's really quite impressive, to be honest. Take a look - here's everything you can pay for in Angry Birds Go!

Source.

Sounds great...
 
So it looks like a ton of stuff released on iOS on Tuesday. Anyone taken the plunge on anything that is great? I'm in the mood to buy some stuff but nearly none of it has reviews yet anywhere !
 
Oh wow. Just played a little bit of DJ Max Technika Q and if it doesn't make it over to the West then I will be very angry. I don't know why Koreans are so offing stubborn with making their amazing games so exclusive.

I even made a Kakao account just to play this (which actually isn't required).

Rhythmix is not even close as a substitute - Q plays and looks so so much better. It's super responsive, and the tracks are just as good as you'd come to expect from DJ Max series... and they feature videos!

Apparently some update made it region locked to Korea (works for me, though I haven't switched back to Irish account) and most menus are in Korean... shame, because I'd totally look into getting all the tracks at some point. (BTW, everything is in dollars on Korean app store) Super game, iOS doesn't have quality games in the genre (and that horrible AppSpy list that they've published is only a testament to that)

So yeah... Believe!
 
So it went up earlier today, but Jetpack Joyride 1.6 is now live with S.A.M!

TWO NEW VEHICLES, 16 COSTUMES & DAILY REWARDS!

Get ready! This is the biggest update we have ever made to Jetpack Joyride! Strap yourself in because you ARE going for a ride!!

STRONG ARM MACHINE

Barry’s hijacked a giant mechanical robot unlike anything you’ve ever seen! Collect three tokens to activate S.A.M. but be prepared for a fight. You’ll be up against a huge wave of menacing missiles!

16 NEW COSTUMES

Activate S.A.M. five days in a row to unlock exclusive outfits! There are 16 to collect including the Jacket of Doom, Snowman Outfit, Fighter Pilot Helmet and more.

Those who do not wish to complete five consecutive challenges can also purchase each costume in The Stash. Barry’s wardrobe is now bigger than ever!

THE SLEIGH OF AWESOME

The scientists at Legitimate Research have taken the blueprint for Santa's Sleigh and pimped it out with rocket-powered robotic reindeer!

This is one seriously heavy-duty sleigh and it is only available for a strictly limited time. Buy it now to add a new vehicle to the garage and bring some yuletide greetings your way!

Download it and let me know what you think. This has been our big updated over the past few months and excited to finally show everyone :)

Jetpack Joyride is still the best endless runner and S.A.M. is duking it out with Profit Bird and Cuddles for that top vehicle spot. Now about that Hippy achievement..
 
Will you remove the Sleigh later like you did my Santa costume so I have to re-buy it next Xmas?

:(

Santa Costume is back in the store actually, courtesy of the rotating inventory system, so grab it now :P

The Sleigh is actually a strictly paid item, if you buy it you'll have it forever, even if it's taken off the store out of season.

Haha, the Rainbow Jetpack will return shortly :P

The original plan was for the rotating inventory to keep the game fresh throughout the year without a big update, which means all old and new Jetpacks and clothes go through a system. While this is great for us, it means some of the achievements are super difficult to get to now.
 
You know, I just bought the counterfeit machine IAP even though I don't really need it because JJ has given me at least $5 worth of entertainment throughout the years. The only other time I've done this was for backpack expanders in TF2. Like TF2, it's a showcase of F2P done right, great gameplay mechanics and years of genuine dev support.

(I still think iOS gaming is going down the drain)

I shouldn't have to re-buy it though, much like the tree jetpack I know have to re-buy...
 
Is kairo any good? It dropped to 89 cents. It looks quite interesting.

Same with RipTide GP2 - I love Waverace from Gamecube but this gets mixed reviews.
 
You shouldn't have to rebuy it. If you got it when it was available you keep it, it shouldn't remove itself. Did you lose your save, maybe?

I did delete and re-install but iCloud had my save and everything else I owned is there, except the tree and Santa Suit (seasonal stuff) which I did own.

Weird.
 
Help 'old' GAF!!!

I'm looking for something similar to an old arcade I used to play, Solomon's Key (Link)....do you know if there is something even vaguely similar on iOS?
There is a Lost Key Platformer clone, but it's not very good.

Thanks!

Got kairo. I need to play it a bit more but there's a discrepancy between the screenshots and the actual game. In reality it looks very amateurish rather than atmospheric. Plus really ugly HUD that kinda affects the experience. The game itself might be interesting, time will tell, but I was really hoping for a very atmospheric exploration more than anything else.

Ah, bummer. Reviews don't seem too hot either.
