You will get used to it. Use settings to lower it, but you will get used to it eventually. When I played the beta for the first time, I did not even make it to 5 meters lol
Pinstripe is likely coming to mobile at some time.

You were actually totally right.
It's the free app of the week in my store, just noticed.
I'm not sure Apple gives anything to Rodeo (I do not know really, but I hope so) but I want to believe your version.

Wasn't there a big shift in management in IOS, that we thought might be beneficial for games in the future? I imagine that Apple would probably like a Unreal Engine-4 licensed title like this, that shows off the power and variety of the platform, from an established mobile developer, to succeed

I really hope so.
And I hope this year Apple will step up a bit in the gaming arena....hopeful but not really confident.
They are in the game market by pure chance and they could do a TON of things much better with little effort too, if they just focused on it the bare minimum.
As far as I know Deathwatch was the very first UE4 title in the AppStore (the only one?).

Stellar Wanderer is getting slammed at the two reviews that I could find. Considering mobile game scores are quite inflated, this doesn't bodes well.
Hoped for a good space game to sink my teeth in
I've played it and it's decent but I think the dev bit off a little more than they could chew. Their first game, Strike Wing, was really good for what it was -- basically a more arcade style space shooter with just a little "story" linking things.
Here they've greatly expanded the scope with voice acting, RPG like elements (including different classes) and an overarching universe.
The problem is that it seems a little too padded and the controls actually aren't as good as Strike Wing IMO.
It's hard to pin point but it just doesn't come together very well.
That said, I'm still having some fun with it as a fan of the genre but it's far from being in the same class as something like Galaxy on Fire 2. And I almost think I like Strike Wing better as a "game" even if it really didn't have much to it.
Figured out that it was the port of Titan Quest that I was thinking of, which apparently is getting close to being ready for release.
Tennis Champs Returns is a surprisingly great tennis game. Controls are difficult at first, but very clever. It's free to try!
Edit: wow, this game is awesome. I'm almost tempted to do create a topic so Gaf knows about it. It starts off weird, but when it clicks... it feels so good. I just found out it was developed by the creator of the original game for Amiga.

Broken Age is out for Apple TV, I never played it on iOS. Is it any good?

It is really good. Kinda suck still but getting used to the controls. Very fair payment model too.
Never played Galaxy on Fire 2, does it still look good?
It's on Steam if handheldedness isn't required for you.
Haven't played it in a long time but it looked great back then and I have a feeling it still would hold up well.
Also, I believe the base game, which in itself is very lengthy (maybe 20+ hours?) is now free. And the currency IAPs are completely optional.
Only cost is for the expansions (looks like that's $8.99). But you'll definately have a lot of gameplay before you decide on those.
Don't worry, keep doing the tutorials and training and playing quick matches and they will eventually click.
On Stellar Wanderer, have you played more of it? Maybe the ship handling gets better with better ships? I'm tempted because of the cockpit view. I love cockpit view in my space flight games.
Only played like one more mission so haven't yet gotten another ship. Work has been rough lately. I do like it. It just feels mediocre. Could have done without the voice acting and used that money to polish it up more.
Edit: I've also been having issues with the virtual stick getting frozen. I'd definitely recommend holding off on this for now.
Please, Don't Touch Anything is on sale for the first time. For those who've played it, what'd you think?
I didn't understand a thing of what I did in the game on PC but it was intriguing.
I was getting the hang out it and then they switch me to the other side and started serving up lob shots. Oh man. Ha Ha.
Pretty good game so far though. Will definitely pay to get rid of the ads.
Yeah, switching sides really through me off too!
Wish you could set it to always be on the bottom like they do in other sports games as an option.

Yep I got quite a few hours out of Galaxy On Fire 2 for zero dollars when I started out in iOS gaming. It's a great game.
I despise the analog stick in it. Other than that it's a pretty dang fun game.
Thank god for MFi controllers even though it's not yet perfect in Tennis Champs.
Have you played Year Walk and Device 6 yet?

A gaffer over on the Android gaming thread is on the Iron Marines team and says they're trying to get this game out by March (When it's ready, of course)!
That was way sooner than I expected, I was afraid I'd have to wait to the middle of the year at least.
Nope. Do they run well on an iPhone 3GS?

This is the week, guys
- Love You To Bits
- Assassin's Creed: Identity
- The Walking Dead: Michonne
Got those devices ready

YES!
I also have a strong suspicion, based on a few Tweets I had with DotEmu, that the port of Titan Quest could be on tap this week too.
Really, that and Love You to Bits are all I'd want.
AC: Identity didn't sound so hot in beta so unless it's drastically changed, I'll probably pass. And I still haven't even played through the other WD Telltale games.

Dude, you're missing out. They're fantastic
I've played some of the first one and have them on console. Just too many games and too little time!

Hopefully after Love you to Bits comes out the developers will work on fixing Tiny Thief which hasn't worked for quite a long time.
I was pretty far along in it too on my iPad and I don't really want to start all over again on my Android phone.

(Some of the) same devs, different team. They formed their own company, so they have no control over Tiny ThiefHopefully after Love you to Bits comes out the developers will work on fixing Tiny Thief which hasn't worked for quite a long time.

Anyone still playing Lost Portal CCG? I'm still on the fence
Saucycarpdog

Same here, not a huge fan of CCGs but I liked what I played of Hearthstone with my only gripe being it's focus on multiplayer. Seeing that this game is singleplayer only has got me interested in trying it.
It sounded kind of rough around the edges, especially with little to no tutorial. So I've been on the fence too. Might wait and see if it gets some updates.
I think so too! They've been teasing it a lot lately. Keep in mind though that this port will not feature multiplayer or the expansion.
I'm cool with that. As long as the port is good (and with DotEmu, I'm hopeful it will be), I'll be grabbing it.

Played it but didn't quite finish it. I need to get back on that.
