You want Machines at War 3 or Z The game. Check those out.
Ah! I screwed up my move! Ahahah, there needs to be an undue button!! I placed my wall in the wrong place and then lost my turn by fixing it. Well, it's not over yet. This is a great match we're playing!
Even the original is an acquired taste. I found it mildly amusing but probably didn't spend more than an hour with it.
Get Grimrock. It's awesome!

Played some last night. Controls were comfortable and straightforward. It looked good, and the dungeon crawling nature of it lends well to how I game on my ipad. Looking forward to playing more, and I think I could even get my gf into it as well so that's worth $5 easily.
Oops. Sorry
You still need to get a Mini pronto!
Waiting on that Mini 4!
What? Super secret sudden release of game? Also for kids!
You can grab it right now for $4.99.. Kids safe - no analytics, no IAP.

Thanks for posting that. Totally missed it and even if I hadn't, I might have dismissed it as another Candy Crush type money grab.
Always up for a good match-3 and this looks fun.

Is the graphics ok?
From their video trailer seems to me it lacks all the shadows, the lights, flickers etc...that made so cool the original game...which seemed a bit weird to me.
Watching their PC trailer and the iPad trailer seems to me like a night and day difference (not really justified by the tech imho).
But everyone says it's fantastic so I guess is just their poor choice of screenshots and video compression.
Am I wrong?
Has anyone tried Lifeline yet?
It's a text-based game about exchanging messages with an astronaut stranded on the moon. Here's a nice review.
4.5 stars on the App Store with ~1500 ratings. Sounds great. Gonna give it a try.

It really looks great! Probably not as good as the PC-version, but really good. I was surprised!

Last game I totally fell for your trap!! Ahahaha
Just checked for you and if you're talking about shadows of people and monsters then I'd say no. But the general shadowy atmosphere with the torches flickering is there.
Quite honestly, it's a good looking game and I probably would have never noticed missing shadows and stuff because the atmosphere is very well done, complete with the background noises of monsters moving around, etc.
EDIT: Saw a confirmation on another forum that dynamic shadows are not in the game as they wanted a solid framerate on all supported devices. Not sure why they couldn't have just made it for maybe Metal supported devices. Don't know how hard that would be.
Anyway, really hope that doesn't stop you from getting an otherwise fantastic port.

Here's a GIF from the PC version of Door Kickers to get an idea what the gameplay is like

I just wanna say that this is brilliant use of a dated gameplay format.
I'm pretty sure they were never updated. That said, I fall into the camp that they just take some getting used to. It's a really fun game and an incredible bargain at it's current $.99 sale price.

Totally stuck on Letterpad yet. It hurts my brain sometimes though.

I find the same problems with this that I do of Bonza. It's not so much guessing/figuring out the words, but more figuring out what the puzzle designer wants you to say.

Apparently no
I dunno, you're waaaaaaay beyond me strategy wise.
when I play with other friends whoever goes first always wins.

Lol, I wasn't talking about our games! didn't take count or checked the statistics.
You go for the kill too early tough, I I recall well.
It was just my impression after a good number of games.
I lost many where I started first and won many where I was second.
When you start a game you can choose who start first tapping on the avatar.
I think in random games it's randomized (not sure).
I'll keep an eye on it now tough!!!

Yeah thats 1 of 2 of my only complaints.
1. Some times the word is very loosely related to the subject so it gets to the point that you have to just try words whether they make sense or not.
2. I dont mind watching the ad videos to get a free hint but back to back to back 30 second videos is too much. They should pepper in more 10-15 second videos.

Just noticed Grim Fandango... How is the port? I already bought it on PS4 but I imagine it'd be perfectly suited to the iPad.
Saw the review of Forgotten Memories on TA. Mentioned a lot of the same issues that the Pocket Gamer review mentioned.
And I've lost complete respect for the developer of the game whose reaction has been less than professional.
I really don't get it. The game could still be the hardcore experience the Dev wants or to be with just a few minor changes. What is wrong with having a save state that would be the easiest compromise to make the game more playable on mobile? It wouldn't take away the difficulty penalty of having to go back to the last hard save point if you died. It just would allow you to continue to play where you left off if you needed a break.
Also agree with the review that the "easy" mode with more discs doesn't help at all if the computers to save are really far away.
In both cases, as in both reviews, it just makes it frustrating and boring to replay areas over and over. Not a hardcore challenge. Just repetitive and not fun.
Even the hardcore The Evil Within on console (made by the Dev of RE4) has a similar system as I suggested.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
I have the same issues with the game. I don't think I can recommend this game to anyone.
I have refrained from reading much about the game because I don't want any possible spoiler. I now regret my decision.
First I've heard of it. Looks pretty awesome.
It looks a lot like Subterfuge, which I'm in the beta for but have yet to play. I have a feeling you'd like that more, as it seems to be a lot less fiddly and involves convincing your multiplayer opposition to join your team through discussion, which I believe you to be an expert of, friend.

Tallowmere is releasing tonight. Port of a fun roguelike platformer

I kind of like it. I wouldn't say it's the kind of game I'd go wild about telling people to get it. But it's a fun little, casual puzzle rogue-like. The various monster abilities add to the more puzzle like approach. Worth a buck to me, but everyone's different.

I was never a Clash Of Clans guy, but I've been kind of enjoying Empires and Allies and Rival Kingdoms, which both came out last week. They're freemium, which is shitty, but the core gameplay of both is really solid, and they don't seem quite as desperate to shut off gameplay without payment as a lot of their competitors.
Anyone else playing either of them?

Just got Monument Valley. So damn good.
I'm playing on a 5s and, while it can be a tiny bit tricky sometimes to be exact on where you direct Manny, it's perfectly playable. On a 6+, you'll be more than fine.
