Hah, yeah Hopkite is amazing.
Tales of a Viking is a great Hoplite-like that goes to some interesting places. Highly recommend it, too.
Guys you should really try out Splat Wars, it's free. I just played a match and it's totally like Splatoon. Your team needs to paint the map with your color, and you refill ink by swimming, and you can even super jump like in Splatoon.
So if you are itching for some Splatoon in pocket form and on the go, this wouldn't be half bad.
I haven't checked if we can set up a private game, but there seems to be a Lobby feature.

Man, we need more activity in here. It's nothing like it was years ago. But you guys hanging around in here are cool. Congrats with the promotion to mod by the way.
I just bought Adventures of Mana as well, and it seems really cool. I like the visuals and the simple battles, controls and plot so far. The ring-system is intuitive too. Love it so far.
What are some other great JRPG's? I got:
Final Fantasy Tactics, 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, Adventures of Mana, Dragon Quest 1, 4, 5 and The World Ends With You. I plan on buying Dragon Quest VI, Secret of Mana and the rest of the Final Fantasies and Dragon Quests.

It's Sunday during the Super Bowl.
Ah yeah I forgot that. We don't watch the Super Bowl here. ^_^

I literally just beat Kingturn RPG [great game], and know about Tactics Maiden, but since it's by the same dev I figured I should play a few games in between to prevent burnout since I assume it plays similarly.
Checking those threads out now.
Decromancer is amazing. I've got... man, 30-50 hours in it? It's free, and I've paid zero to play... I'm actually probably going to buy something just to support the game and how it's designed to be very playable w/o buying anything.
I wrote a review for another thread, reposting here:
This is the one I'm really considering, actually. It's way more than I'd like to spend, but it seems near perfect.
i did just buy Star Traders RPG Elite which I believe is the same dev? So I might play that first before spending $ on Templar.
It's really good.
Hoplite is absolutely terrific. It's the first game I found/bought when I got my tablet for xmas. Tactical minimalism at it's best, it's fun unlocking new commands, and it plays different every time. Great pick up and play game, too.
The Tales of a Viking game looks solid too.

It's way better than it was a year ago. The fact that we're 6 pages in after a week and that a mobile focused thread in Community outpaces the PC focused Indie Games thread is impressive.

So yeah Decromancer is great. And maybe one of my favorite card game/RPG hybrids on mobile. Ton of polish, ton of depth in the combat, nice art style, free but fair
Yeah, that's actually very nice.
So I just contacted Kabam, and asked if they could unlink my Contest of Champions account - it's gonna be interesting when they have time to reply. I can't wait to start up Contest of Champions anew.
By the way, how do I stream games? I think there's an app doing this isn't there?
I thought this was interesting:

Evidentially the idea of LEGO Monument Valley sets are being tossed around and gaining support.

For some reason, I always had trouble with the game too and I like rhythm games. It's a great concept, but just have trouble clicking with it.

Having an issue with my iPhone audio. It'll just decrease automatically while listening to music and podcasts. Has anyone encountered this before?

This can happen too when apps randomly refresh while your phones off, try turning app refresh off and see if it helps.

Yeah, it's not related to notifications. Different from that. You actually see the volume screen pop up and decrease, sometimes down to mute, as if I was pressing the Volume button. And it only started happening last week

Been a while since I had the issue, and it doesn't sound identical to what you're experiencing, but I had a problem where my fun was periodically reducing the volume level to a "safe" level and you had to opt to turn it back up again. I doubt you're getting any sort of prompt though?

No prompts unfortunately
Heroes Reborn: Enigma is IGN's free game of the month:
http://www.ign.com/prime/promo/heroes-reborn-enigma-free
Honestly didn't even bother to watch the new show, but supposedly the game is a pretty good Portal-ish puzzler.
Edit: holy crap, a 1.45 GB download for a TV tie-in? Yikes. Not sure I'll be making room for that one unless someone can convince me otherwise.
Edit 2: It is by Phosphor Games (Horn, Dark Meadow) so maybe it's worth it.

Sounds to me like you have something sticky in your volume button, unless this is some strange isolated bug in 9.1.2? What phone/version are you on? I'm on a 6s+ on 9.1 and have never had this happen, at least not yet.

Do we know if the mobile Final Fantasy IX port is coming soon? Trying to decide between starting Chaos Rings 3, Neptunia VII, or holding out until IX hits.

Playing Dungelot recently made me appreciate how good gaming in portrait was.
Yep! It's great.
Also sweeeeeeeeeeeet Lumines on iOS sounds awesome, but man oh man I really really hope they include Shinin'.
Wasn't there a Lumines on iOS some years ago? I should go check my purchase history.
Oh, the new ones seem to be portrait mode:
Came to think of it. There's not really anything I'm looking forward to on iOS, or maybe I'm just not informed about upcoming releases. Right now my list in Excel basically looks like this: Final Fantasy IX, Lumines 2016, Lumines VS, Miitomo.

There was a Lumines for iPhone called Lumines Touch Fusion. It wasn't really good and was subsequently removed from the App Store.
Yeah, that was it. I remember not liking it that much, but I wonder if it's still in the purchase history.
I'm not sure it would still be compatible anyway.
Just bought it. I were watching a Let's Play, and it looks real interesting.
I just checked my history, and Lumines Touch really is gone. That is some scary shit, if publishers can just take it away from me. Hmm.

man, I'm glad so many are digging it as much as i am, and i'm glad i mentioned it. I cold found it in the google play store, and took a chance on it even though it was 'free' and could have been trash. I'm pretty deep in, and it's still surprising me with new enemy factions with entire sets of differentiated cards. And there are some beastly side quests that decimate what i thought was a pretty powerful set of cards. So much content, and I still haven't remotely felt in-game pressure to spend money.

I feel like a total idiot having waited so long before buying Dust.
It's FANTASTIC.
Chapter 3 and 4 are GLORIOUS.
Actually it's one of those rare games that doesn't shoot all its arrows at the beginning, but it gets better and better the more you progress, both in story, scenarios and above all gameplay which is weirdly much less chaotic than the very beginning (and I like it even better so).
There are some enemies which I won't spoil that require combos alternated to the projectile magic thing...so you won't get anywhere just smashing the attack button...and so far the controls really delivered, both on iPad and iPhone.
I know I'm really late to the party but in case someone was on the fence like me, I highly recommend it.
It's already up there with Aquaria, Waking Mars, Swordigo and other favs of mine.
Can't wait to play more...seems like it's really long too (I'm 6 hours in, around 40 percent and I have yet to do a single side quest out of a dozen already found).

I waited for the announced MFi patch to get it but it never came. I think the developer just stopped supporting the game. Might get it at some point though.

I do not have a MiFi controller but so far the controls weren't a problem at all, on the contrary.
I even almost totally eliminated the UI transparency and I can play with my thumb finding the buttons out of my memory.
There are even some frantic sequences with jumps and platforming along with combos, and so far I didn't had a single problem at normal difficulty (and I'm not a pro by any means).
I actually started dying at chapter 3 but it was always my fault in understanding how to damage some enemies and never noticing I was low on HP in the heat of the battle.
I really recommend the game...had I had a MiFi controller and the game supported it, I'm not even sure I would bother to set up all that...game is that good with a nice balance of story, exploration and combat so far (I feared combat was the thing you did 99 percent of the time, but it seems not the case so far).
Glad you're enjoying the game but I can't imagine playing this properly in the later areas on touch controls (played it through to completion on PS4).
That's why you should always keep iTunes copies of games you want to keep (and versions of games in case of sudden business model changes *cough*).
I'm disappointed that effects and such aren't in the iOS version, but of course we're talking about mobile. I think I'll just play it on PC, but I'm happy they managed to somewhat port it to the mobile platforms as well.
It might actually be in my iTunes library if I didn't throw it all away.

Eh...I plan to play it to completion...I'll report.
So far Aquaria controls were much more problematic, especially against bosses.
I've read several people that completed the game on TA...so at least I know it's not impossibile.
I'll report anyway, if I play like in the past 2 days...I'm not sure it will last me much longer than next week!!!

Apparently you could use iExplorer to browse for a save file in an iTunes backup of the source device and then move it to a current iTunes backup of your target device, then do a restore. I haven't tried this yet, but its something I'll be doing if MHFU ever starts working again.

Awesome, but I gotta finish some stuff like Chaos Rings 3 before I even consider it. I also have the console version so we'll see.
Lately I've been hesitant to get games I already have on another platform (like Dust, for instance) because there are too many good iOS originals or PC ports (still don't play much at all on PC). Don't have the time for that backlog alone.

Oh, thank god I bought the 128GB phone. Sorry Chaos Rings, you just keep getting pushed back into the void.
instantbuy for me. I loved Tiny Thief
YES!!! Held off on buying Adventures of Mana in the hopes this would come out soon! This is amazing news!
