Waiiiiit... that's just Knights of Pen and Paper +1 right? Don't get my hopes up.

Also, Out There is on the level with FTL... it feels like a really great boardgame to be honest, one of the best surprises I've played all year.

Still haven't found an Android game better than the Kingdom Rush series. I haven't started Frontiers yet, but I've beaten the Kingdom Rush campaign on normal and I'm going through it doing the extra challenges right now. Shit is hard, but satisfying. Put more hours into this than any other Android game I've played.

Well, people's MMV whether this interests them or not, but the Pointless app (That's a UK gameshow named 'Pointless' which I've waxed lyrical about here) is now out on Android. It's a fun game on the telly, and I'm reasonably encouraged by this review of the iOS version from a UK gameshow site.

Any recommendations for a good Deck Building or Card collecting game?
Been looking online but hard to find a list and don't trust play store's trending stuff.

Ah man, heartstone would be nice on droid.
Sad to hear about the money vacuums. Honestly hate how mobile has simply become a factory to clone games and pray on wallets.

Was about the install Magic 2014, but saw it's free ... so yeah not going down that path, can only imagine some shit like digital booster packs or something.

Free demo-ish part. $10 full game unlock and then there are some decks you can purchase. But the full game is very nice and has a decent amount of content that if you can get it for $5 I would say go for it.

Card City Nights is pretty fun. No DLC in the IOS version. Android should be the same.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
Just tried Walking Dead on my Galaxy S3 and it runs and looks great - realldy didnt expect that, since the phone isnt the latest and telltale is known for subpar ports.

Humble Bundle gets you the Room 2 which is a hot banger. I haven't played the Cave on Android so can't give you the word on that version but it's worth a playthrough.

Otherwise I haven't heard of any of the other games.

Hate that Magic 2014 is only available on tablets. Do we know if Hearthstone will be locked to tablets on android as well?

You can get it to work on some phones through the Amazon App store. I had it on my Galaxy Note 2 (wouldn't work from the play store) before I upgraded to my Note 3 (can install from play store).

Been playing IGG Bingo lately. It is just a no brainer game to pass time if I have a few minutes. Anyway, they have a special easter bingo board. It is crazy, I have gotten so many gems and powerups.. In about two hours of playing today I went from 40 gems to over 700, with almost 300 instant bingo powerups. To get an idea, I usually only get 30-40 gems per day, enough to play about 10 games of bingo. If someone pays for gems, 550 cost $50, while 1100 cost $100. It feels like I am cheating.It is kind of hard to admit, but I am getting kind of addicted to playing this holiday board.. It is going to last all week.

Looking for a name of a game I played a few months back. I lost the name of the app when I did a rom flash.

Been trying to look for the game inside my app history with the playstore, but fuck me sideways if it's not the slowest fucking pageload.

Anyway the game is pretty dark and has a nice pixel graphic style. The basic game itself is just a dungeon crawler, where you go down in stages and usually only fight one enemy at the time. The levels itself is laid out as one background with just you and the enemy. You then beat the enemy and you can choose to go back up a level or down.

You unlock like different character types as you progress.

It's not Dungealot or something in that vain. It's more like a side scroller that's just locked to one phase.

Any suggestions?

It's free as in demo not free as in free to play.

Once you try it out it's $10 for the game. Wait it out for this year's though as last year's android version was the only one without online play. :|

Out There is $2.99 for me.... hmmmm. Is it worth it or should I just wait for FTL?

I'm eyeing 10000000. How's that?

10000000 is a great game.

Out There is going to be a huge disappointment if you go in expecting anything close to FTL. Out There is a decent game in it's own right, but it's nowhere near FTL's level. This post on Reddit perfectly summarizes my feelings on the game - it's good, but not FTL.
