iOS Gaming January 2016 | Should old applications be forgot?

I bet you use the dark theme too

Dark Theme for life!

Pocket Mortys will be available as a free download for iOS and Android on January 14th:

This might not be the right place to ask this, but does anyone know of an app, that I can track my game purchases on (consoles) and maybe what games I beat on a given date.

I have a few from way back in my app history:
Game Vault - I believe this uses the giant bomb database. Not as much detail as you want (only now playing and completed toggles) but it's free with no banners or IAP.
Video Games Database has a scanner but I never even made an account for this one.

Finally, this one isn't really intended for games, but it may give you all of the details you crave. I just found out about it today and I've actually been looking for something like an activity monitor for iOS similar to what's on Nintendo systems.

It is seriously going to destroy your free time. I am the producer for Adult Swim on this title, and the developers (the HUGELY talented Big Pixel Studios) have knocked it out of the park. It is so good.
 
For physical games I use Pocketpedia. Not sure what you can do for digital purchases.

VG Tracker
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vg-tracker/id961751259?mt=8

Works with physical and digital, retro and current platforms, has artwork, search that works, and a simple user interface.
Tracks progress ("not started", "started", "finished") but there's no date attached to that.

Developer seems responsive so they could be open to adding add that feature?

Thanks for all your suggestions. I'll check each one out and see which one I may like.



I checked out a lot of the apps. They didn't really have what I wanted. BUT, more searching I found "Gamer - Manage Your Games" By Caio Mello.

I liked the layout and I sent him feedback to hopefully add:

Beyond notes, is there anyway you could add a few sections:
Purchase Price
Purchase Date
Completed Date
------
Maybe if the game tells you, Completion Time
 
Anything worthwhile that came out today or coming tonight?

BattleHand sounded promising but apparently has really punishing timers.
 
Any modern JRPGs for iPad? Something in the style of fantasy life or bravely default. Preferably without ant IAP.
 
Hell is a Mountain Flower looks cool. I may check it out.

I need Warbits in my life. That gameplay did not help the wait whatsoever.
 
Woah, did expect to see Power Hover on the first page when I opened this thread, thanks @more_Badass!

We are busy working on the Android version and the first content update, which should be ready on February, atm. we are planning to release: 6 new levels and a new boss challenge level. oh and the story will continue.

I'll throw few promo codes here since these threads have been and continue be so awesome!

Quote the post for codes, post if you claim one :)

all 3 are expired :(
 
Tried Tap My Katamari and I'm sure it's unfashionable as opinions go, but I thought it was very good. It's the perfect mobile game, really, totally mindless and you can play for as much or as little as you want and progress either way.

Unfortunately, all the progress I made overnight was deleted because the game said the time on my device had been changed (it hadn't) and that kind of bug is an absolute killer in a game where a lot of your progress is done while your device sleeps. Deleted it immediately.

srsly, who is lurking iOS community and not posting cmon guys!

This is especially annoying when people have to open the fucking reply window to see the code.
 
Doh! That was fast, oh well.

If you still want a code, PM me. Lets try it this way :D

Edit: turns out promo codes I initially used had expired, my bad! So no Gaffer was hoarding the codes! New codes send to few people in the thread! Hope you have fun!
 
Asa, can I get one too? :0

When is a Galaxy on Fire sequel coming out? I need a space exploration game in my life ASAP, and am unfortunately too broke for a platform that runs Elite Dangerous :(
 
Anyone check out Hell Is A Mountain Flower? You got to love a name like that

I ended up giving it a shot. I like the presentation, music and general concept, but the swipe controls have been frustrating.

I've been getting better. It just feels like they don't always register. At first I thought there may be a three swipe maximum per jump. That doesn't appear to be the case, unfortunately. Just inconsistent.
 
Anyone still playing Alphabear? Have you been able to beat Chapter 9's "The Void" (challenge stage)? I swear it's impossible..
 
It may sound silly but while I still play a lot of console games, particularly FPS, racing and adventure type things like Rise of the Tomb Raider, I was going back to try a few older JRPGs again last night and found myself not enjoying myself.

I think I've come to the point where I prefer playing JRPGs -- ported or otherwise -- on mobile. Now if only some classics outside of the Final Fantasy games like the Suikoden series could come to mobile. I think going back to analog movement annoyed me, strangely enough.

I'm not a JRPG fanatic, but definately enjoy having a few in my rotation. The genre definitely is a good fit for mobile in most cases.

I would love one too. The game looks so artistically awesome!

I agree with this. I love playing Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest on iPhone. Even paid full price for some of them even though they were expensive. Got The World Ends With You at full price too.

Is Shin Megami Tensei any good?

Don't have that yet, but need to put it on my list.

Wanted to recommend Lonewolf. It's probably the most fun I've had with a sniper game on mobile. May not have the fancy graphics, but it's better and more diverse than Hitman Sniper IMO.

$1.99 to change it completely from F2P to premium is a bargain.

I agree with this. It's the same reason why I clicked so hard with some games on DS and GBA, but never on the big screen.

Though I was disappointed to load up a few JRPG's and see a lot of button overlays. Like the Final Fantasy VII port. Out of all the genres, JRPG's are the best suited to touch screens; why is this so hard?

EDIT: I should buy Power Hover.

Dont usually play the genre, but I have to agree. Tight controls and good mission variety. And most sniper games seem to have stick figures or mediocre 3D visuals; the aesthetic here is way more stylish and appealing IMO

I didn't buy FF VII specifically because of this. It sounds like it was a rushed port and it's ashame being one of the more adored FF games.

They did such a good job with most of the others (currently playing FF VI) that it just seemed like an opportunistic cash in.

Even though Kemco's JRPGs are all over the place in quality (but there are some quite good ones like Fantasy Chronicle), they even know how to do a JRPG right in terms of touch screen controls.

Same here. Not a big fan of sniper games, but this one had me hooked with the stylish story board cut scenes and variety. Easily made the decision to pay to convert it to premium. Great way to do F2P....they should have made the unlock $5 or so. I can't imagine why anyone would pay for $.99 energy/currency packs when the whole game opens up for just $2.
 
Oddworld : Munch's Oddysee is on sale for $2.99.

Had it long ago on the original Xbox. Has anyone played the port? Was wondering how it holds up and if it controls well.
