Human Resource Machine has a clever iPhone only feature where you can rotate your phone to portrait and game switches to the programming section, so you have more space to drag and move around commands
That's really smart, and shows how they understand to make the game work well on both tablet and phones

Some amazing friends of mine who used to work with me at Halfbrick have released their own first indie game: Steppy Pants. These guys were the original artist and programmer on Fruit Ninja.
I've been playing early versions of it and can't put it down. It's my favourite "Verby Noun" style of game. It also exports GIFs out of your death - which is fantastic and something nobody else is doing at all.
It's out now! Download it here!
This game is stupid and frustrating and amazing and adorable and I can't stop playing oh god why

Ive been playign for 20 mins now lol. this is great.
Really like Voez. Have been a fan of Rayark since Cytus and Voez looks like another hit for them. Beautiful presentation and the music is pretty much what you'd expect from an Asian rhythm game.
Pricing seems fair to me. $1.50 for one key, which seems comparable to other rhythm games on IOS.

Played a tiny bit of Lost Frontier. Way too early to give any form of detailed impressions yet, but seems very fun so far.

Downloading!
Same here. I stopped playing due to this. Maybe I will send them a tweet about it. Want to keep playing, but I can't move to the next level before finishing the current one and that "oversight" makes it frustrating.

Game is fantastic, but I was unaware that you couldn't play offline. That's my biggest beef.
Trese Brothers released a demo for the fantastic SRPG Templar Battleforce. No excuse not to try it now!

Cool, I've had it on my wish list forever. I'll give it a go if I can break myself away from Overwatch long enough.
Yeah, I've given up on trying to get golds all the time. Just enjoying each day as it comes! Feels good not to be banging my head repeatedly on the really tricky parts and just letting go, hah.

I heard they are going to give to to PS+ members this month
Not this month but it was already last year (April 2015).
It must be something with my iPhone then, I gotta get that sorted out.

I cleared this with a mod yesterday & have read the ToS on self-promotion, but if there are any issue with this post, I'll remove it
Hi all! I'm part of Stitch Games, a small, 3-person studio based in Shropshire, England, and we launched our new game Rok today! Rok is an adventure game for iPad (and hopefully Android) with a Norse-Punk low poly aesthetic, intuitive one touch controls, and a mysterious story to discover.
A little about the game:
The exciting bit:
I have 5 promo codes to give away - there are 3 included in this post (quote to reveal!) and I will post another 2 later to give more people a chance!
Please only take a code if you are going to play it, and if you take one please post so people don't get their hopes up! Additionally, if you play it, we would love to hear any impressions you have about it, and you can PM me with any issues or questions you may have!
For more info:
Trailer here, more screenshots here, App Store here. It's priced at £2.99/$3.99/3.99, and is optimised for iPad 4/iPad Mini 2 and above. It has also been localised in French, Italian, German, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Brazilian Portuguese - the dialogue is still in English, but menus, notes, and subtitles are localised!

I'm still playing Leap Day every day and really enjoying it. Definitely a great game for those few moments in a day where you need to kill time.
I like it so much I find myself wishing there was more to do after I finish each day's level. Hopefully they fix the premium version bugs soon and then I can start going for achievements.

...GameCenter was a mistake.
Just got that as well, what the hell is happening?
Edit: Gamer Center is down.

Looks like Titan Quest got an update; anyone try it to see if any of the stuttering or unresponsiveness got fixed?

Unfortunately, the update didn't address either of those issues. Seems mainly to fix cloud saves and crashes.
I really do hope they address the controls. I'm still playing it but there are definitely times when I've been frustrated by the virtual stick not responding as well as it should.

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite patch delayed - http://toucharcade.com/2016/06/03/update-monster-hunter-freedom-unite-delayed/ but it is still in the works. Some problems with iOS 9.3 it seems.
All I read was "Monster Hunter Freedom Patch" and ran to the store, to only be sorely disappointed... But that's great news that it is still coming!
...GameCenter was a mistake.
Part of a spam attack using emails from the LinkedIn/Tumblr leak I believe. Phishing for active Apple accounts most likely. You'll note that all of the requesting accounts are bots.

I finally understand the unlock mechanics on Voez! For anyone who cares (and if you like rhythm games, you should)...
It's not nearly as complicated as I thought. There is a rotation of unlocked songs that you can play for free (rotation schedule is not currently known). You can play these songs as often as you like while they are in the free rotation. You can earn a few free keys by playing these songs, though I'm not entirely sure what the requirements are nor how many freebies are available. It should be assumed that the number of free keys you can earn is a fixed number that does not increase if/when the free songs rotate.
In the screenshot below, the song Aquarius is highlighted. There's a small unlocked padlock to the left of the name, and a button that says Unlock in the top right. The unlocked padlock tells you that this song is unlocked for the current rotation. You can still permanently unlock the song by using a key (the Unlock button), but it's not recommended that you do that given that the song is currently free to play.
In the next screenshot, you can see the song ARCANA does not have an unlocked padlock or an Unlock button. That's because I used one of my free keys to unlock this song. This song is not currently in the free rotation, so it made a fine candidate for unlocking.
If you decide to purchase keys, you can use them to unlock all available songs (currently requires 50 keys because 10 songs were recently added). You can also use 1 key to unlock 3 random avatar icons. Unlocking songs does NOT allow you to play them offline (so no airplane mode sadly), but that is the only issue I have with the game so far.
