That's kind of what I was talking about. Lots of obscure words. I was a journalist and still don't know many of the words being asked for and had to keep moving letters around indiscriminately just to get something.

Oh man, sounds like I missed a great week of iOS gaming.
I just picked up Oxenfree. What else from this week is a must-have?

IMO, Mushrooms 11, Ticket To Earth, and Cosmic Express
I'll leave Pitta to tell you about GLORIOUSness that is Kingdom New Lands
KINGDOM: NEW LANDS!
This game is one of the best games I've played in a long while on mobile. That atmosphere! That management! That discovery! That base building! That survival! Buy it.
Cosmic Express too.

I think it turns off push notifications, localization background services and the like.
It's absolutely the icon for the Witness on the Mac Appstore so confirmed for Sunday with Card Thief coming Monday.
Also: New Kenny Sun game teased:

Didn't think to check the Mac store icon!!!
So it's The Witness.
Would have preferred Darkest Dungeon or Stasis personally, but it's a fitting conclusion with a very famous top game.
Incredible week.

I thought card thief was Sunday's game?
Moana's great enjoy
The Witness is incredible. So many puzzles based on one gameplay mechanic that is so well built. It's a marvelous product that shouldn't work at all and yet stands as one of my favorite puzzler of all time.
The creator of Card Thief just tweeted that The Witness is coming Sunday so I guess that means that his game is coming Monday!
Moana's great enjoy
But it's dubbed in Danish cause the girls don't understand English. But I'll enjoy it either way. I can just watch it in English when it comes out on Bluray.
I own it on Steam and found it very dull. But I fucking suck at puzzles haha.

Personally I'm expecting $10, but considering Binding of Isaac is $14.99, I could see Witness being $20

$14.99

I would say 10$, maybe for a promo week.
One thing I've noticed the majority of the chosen titles were premium games and almost none with the bottom
tier.
So maybe Apple is really trying to push for premium games and The Witness will do the same with 20$.

Imagine having 16gb instead... like me...
It's possible The Witness could be cheaper on iOS because even Pavilion was $9.99 at launch on Google Play and was $3.99 on iOS (which it dropped to on Android now).
But I'd expect $19.99. That's STILL the price on Android. Just checked.
I have the PS4 version and won't be double dipping. It's a great game but I kind of like the puzzles in games like The Talos Principle more.

I don't consider the price for a game on Shield Tablet comparable to the price for games on regular Android devices.
Right. I do think some of that reflects at "exclusivity" price since games like Pavilion and Riptide Renegade GP dropped in price when it was made available on iOS and the general Android population.
But I could still see The Witness holding its ground because it took a long time for a sale of any kind on the PC and console versions. The devs seem committed to higher prices (justifiably).

Kenny Sun's next game, Yankai's Peak, looks so up my alley. Triangle was very ingenious, so I can't wait to see what he does here

Same. They really stepped it up in terms of major indie game ports, indie debuts, and games from popular devs
No. It's my guess.
I feel for you.
I gotta say I'm not enjoying Card Crawl much. I mean, I really like the gameplay, but I have no idea how to progress and the interface looks clunky. I see that in Quests, if I do certain things I can open up new roles. And then I understand it that I need to win 20 games in Normal? So just doing the same again and again?

It won't be good for my sanity nor my health but I hope Apple will make this a periodic thing.
Also I really hope all the deve partecipating the event had the (economical) success they deserved.
I was about to say 'it won't be good for my wallet' either...but thinking about it...I spent 20 dollars, let's say 50 assuming The Witness is 20 and I get something else I already wishlisted....for at least 4 personal GOTY candidates and hours and hours and even more hours of pure diverse enjoyment.
The games from this event will last me for a month at the very least.
And they will always be with me, in my pocket or in my bag.
And this is pretty insane.

I think it's so because you are starting now, with the full content updated game.
At the very beginning, there was just normal mode.
The game initlly didn't click with me either...I found it super easy...meaning...I always or almost always 'won'.....i.e. Completed the dungeon without dying.
Then it clicked and I gave myself (thanks to friends scores) some goals...like making 60 points...then 80...then 100.
Then I was super addicted....and daily dungeons were added, constructed mode and quest mode (be aware quests can be completed in constructed mode).
Stick with normal for a while, hopefully it will click for you too.
It's a very thrilling game when you are pushing your luck for a high score...risking to die trying.

The entire Sorcery series is fantastic. Play from the first if you haven't
And if you think Room 2 is good, wait till you play Room 3

It says I can start from the third one. Don't really want to spend the coin on the other two. How essential are they?
I've dabbled with The Room, but never played it to completion. I always liked the aesthetic and tactile nature of the game; I feel that if I am going to invest the time/money in an iOS game, this is exactly the kind of thoughtful design I'd look for.
The sequel was on sale for a cool $1.40, and so I scooped it up thinking "Why not?"
I didn't expect to actually invest in it as much as I have. I'm so taken by the atmosphere and the bits of lore/mythology they feed you, which is just enough to make you feel like you're picking up the threads of an ancient mystery.
Sorcery! 3 looks to be a lot of fun; if I'm looking at it right, it's a "choose your own adventure" style text RPG?? Like, holy shit if that's the case.
