Haven't had a chance to grab it yet. Although I'd say to keep space clear for Space Marshals 2 later this month
Here's the Eisenhorn link:

Made a thread for Reigns
Any iOS version of SuperHOT isn't worth picking up, because there isn't one. Those are all clones or scams

Okay, Reigns is awesome. It's super simple to play, but there are a lot of events and the game adds new cards and events into the mix as you progress, so later playthroughs become more varied. Not only that, the developer cleverly takes the left-right card mechanic and uses it for a number of different mechanics and scenarios, from Sorcery-style dueling where you can learn new moves to use in future fights to dungeon crawling with different paths and loot to find
But the core card kingdom concept is solid too. There's enough connectivity between your choices that you do need to put thought into your choices, and crazy events and modifiers pop up that effect how you play and what choices are available

Superhot is out for iOS? Wut? Is it that slow mo FPS where they only move when you move?
At this point I'm just waiting for Lumines and Batman to come out next month. And that card game on August 25.
Ok. That makes sense because I never remember hearing it had been ported.

Well, same publisher as Downwell. Different developer

First impressions of Journey Below: Meh, it has some cool inspirations from Downwell like upgrading every level and procedurally generated levels but at the same time there really isn't much to the game. The game has a total of maybe 13 different enemy types max and the upgrades are also very few to the point where I've seen the same set of upgrades to choose from multiple times. Have only gotten to the boss once so far but once I beat him I don't know if the game will stay much longer on my device.
Thanks for the imps. Might hold off on it now.
So...
Möbius Final Fantasy might be one of the most pointless games I've played in a long, long time. It's a clicker with an auto-option, a worthless story, and an endless supply of various little things that you gain painfully slowly through game progression, but can speed up and just purchase with real money. It's needlessly complicated in its mechanisms, as well. I'm having a very, very hard time understanding what the point of the whole thing is, really.
Excited to finally play Reigns, though!

Dungeon of Zolthan, it's a fairly simple metroidvania platformer but it has some fun elements to it that platform fans will like. Only $0.99

It really does feel like a waste of some fairly impressive visuals.
I bought Fahrenheit / Indigo Prophecy (on sale) and so far it runs great. It was a favorite of mine on the PS2 but I can still appreciate it for what it is today. I'm not obe of those having trouble or complaining about virtual touch controls, so to me, it feels good.
I like that you get your options at the top, and then have to swipe in a direction to select the thing you want to do. Unfortunately the QTR's have ugly red/yellow/blue/green interface but that's probably just to make it easier for you to deal with during intense moments.

Bought. Thanks.
As for next week I'll go away until it is announced.
Edit super hot is a scam. Don't buy.

Fake
SuperHOT isn't coming to mobile anytime soon, guys. Any SuperHOT you see is a scam or clone.

first time i fell for a scam app/game. Sent an email to apple saying this is the app store not google play where this shit happens. Meh. refunded though so that's good.
Sorry about that man. Shouldn't have posted without checking first.

What's up? Some big release?
Yeah, I almost got fooled by a "Switchcars: Pocket Edition" a few weeks back. If it's not something you're expecting, or an out-of-the-blue port, best thing to do is check the dev's Twitter and/or ask them on Twitter if it's real
I love all the 5-star reviews for it. People clearly didn't play it.
Grim Patron

no reviews for it in the India store heh.
Yea. Apple doesn't allow changign screens /description after approval either iirc. Weird that this shit made it passed the,m.
Don't feel bad. I posted it too after seeing it pop up as a price drop in AppZapp. I should have realized it myself figuring a Superhot port would certainly have been a topic of conversation here.
Scams suck. And if you think it's bad on iOS, it's 100x worse on Android with Google Play seemingly having almost no quality control at times.

I asked about the sound issue on Twitter and was told it was a bug and that the patch is with Apple at the moment so hopefully it'll be available soon.

You have to stop August, just stahp.
Got to number 3 in the world in Reigns last night (95 years and then 98 years), but woke up this morning to 7th place and now 8th place. The 98 years wasn't even from old age like the 95 was...
It's very good, but I did hit a point after a few hours where everything started to feel pretty repetitive/futile. But after that came a point where I suddenly got a much better inclination of how to survive (with clearly good results), and since then it's been more enjoyable.

Just was browsing TA and discovered this cool dungeon builder coming next week: Dungeon Warfare.
At first glance I thought it was just a normal TD game, which is a genre I'm all burnt out on, but checking the game's steam page surprised me. Nothing but glowing reviews for with many reviews stating how fun and deep the dungeon building mechanics are. This is, *sigh*, another game I may have to pick up next week.
