Started into Super Stickman Golf 2 over the weekend and it's awesome. Great new additions with Hats and Golfer designs. Bit more replayability now with the bonuses, course objectives and Bux collection. Hats assisting you with courses (Magnet Hat, negating magnetism effect etc) are also a great idea further promoting replay of older courses.

I've had a bunch of unexpected/force closes on my S3 which is a shame (and hopefully it gets patched soon), but no complaints otherwise!
 
Aside from the force closing problems, I dont like that SSG2 rewards you for not using the special ball types. It encourages unfun playing styles.
 
10000000 is great, but it really highlights the problem a lot of mobile games have. You get everything that you're going to get out of it in the first 2 hours and whatever time played after that is spent on 'beating' it. I loved the game, and it's well worth 2 dollars... but I kinda want to pay more for more real content.

Unless you just love matching 3... then I guess the game is dope.

So nothing at all is missing from the DS version?

Apparently not. Beware though, it takes a little while to get used to the touch controls, and an active connection is needed to start the game (you can turn it off after).

For me this hasn't been an issue, but I know that for some people it is.
 
I recommend everyone to stay away from Castle TD. The game itself is ok, but it's clearly built on the player having to buy XP points. If you don't, like me, at some point you hit a wall, which I tried to go around by replaying the maps I had already cleared to get more points in order to proceed where I got stuck. Lo and behold the game erased the memory and all the points I had collected. FTS. From now on, I'm going to stay far away from games built on microtransactions.

You mean the special objective? I like it as it's an optional objective to increase replayability.

Still the same core game beating your personal bests!


Hope they patch the force close problems soon though, I was on Hole 8 of a great round last night and lost my progress!
 
10000000 is addictive as hell and makes the commute to work fly by! Almost completed it, any other hot recent new games out now?

Personally, I'd wait until thursday to post that.

Hopefully people don't forget by then is all.
 
Guys, what are the greatest titles for the android OS? I got a Samsung Galaxy SIII LTE and I need games. I bought the latest humble pack, but I want more titles.

That looks really nice actually. I'll pick that up for my S3 on Thursday :)
 
I like the look of Chopper Mike.. It reminds me of codies games of old like micro machines, and it also gives me a Mario 3D Land vibe... The way that game made the 2d Mario style playable in 3D, yours looks to take those touch copter style games and do the same thing. Its got a nice smooth look, I'll check it out!

And, thank you :D

Will be picking this up on Thursday for my Nexus 4 and 7. I also voted for it on Steam greenlight. When you release it you might want to consider plugging it in r/android on reddit.

15 hours to go... :D My first solo-developed game, woo hoo!! :D :D
 
Beat Hazard is so addicting. Probably one of the coolest purchases I've ever made. Plays so well on my S3 as well.

Game looks great! Thanks!

Any good pixel RPGs like Zelda, Final Fantasy or Earthbound?
Click to expand...

Not a lot of great pixel RPGs that aren't just remakes of Final Fantasy. :lol

There are a lot of GREAT Roguelike-likes on the store though.

Legends of Yore is my favorite personally.

ITS BEEN 15 HOURS...WHERE IS IT?!?! Hahah Btw I like design of the little heli and how the pilot turns his head according to where you're pointing, cute. I've had to reinstall Vice City, played through the RC copter missions again and rediscovered how much I actually enjoyed them. Looking forward to this!
 
YES!

fake edit: Game has quite a number of unique levels for each difficulty setting, nice

Edit2: 6 choppers to choose from, they're all so adorable!
and there's a UFO too??
 
Got sucked into this last night on my Nexus 7. Fantastic!

Bought and enjoying it so far, If there is one thing I have come to realise from Chopper Mike it is that I made the right decision to NOT become a chopper pilot.

About the only niggle I have is the inability to mute all sounds. I know it probably is a bit annoying that a user wants to mute the sound (after all sound takes work too) but on a mobile phone it is a very handy option to have especially when playing the game in a public place. I know I can use the phone volume controls but it's much easier/lazier to just have a mute in the options menu of the game.

Other than that, I am loving it so far.
