Okay now that I played SSG2 I understand the complaint. There seems tone way more iap here than necessary. An iap to increase the number of asynchronous games you can have going at once? Gtfo

I really wouldn't mind paying $3 for SSG2 that included a last shot power indicator. It's just what they're presenting you to pay extra money for that feels slimy.

Still, it is a damn good game so far at $1, $3 whatever. Can't wait to get some async games going.

I thought Ridiculous Fishibg would be dumb based on the name.

Boy was I wrong.

TA just shot to the top of my indie cred list after giving RF five stars. These guys know what's up.

The reviewer has the #1 score on the leaderboards too

 

[toythatkills]

OT here if anyone is interested. toythatkills' most anticipated review here.

Five stars! It's like they auto-generate this stuff. I hope it's worthy

Where do people come up with this crap? Indie cred? It's a super polished action game, not some art exercise. Indie cred...

I'm not talking about the game or the developers, just that journalists like to be seen to be into indie games because then they feel like people will take them more seriously. It's not an art exercise, sure, but its definitely indie, look at the developers, look at its history, etc.

I haven't played the game, as I've said, so I can't comment on that directly and nor will I.

Yesterday I finally bought Capsized+ and played almost non stop till mission 4 or 5.
I'm surprised there isn't much more talk about the game, it's really well done and ported/adapted (reminds me the Bastion port).
On iPad 3 is flawless...graphics and sounds are damn good and the number of things that moves on screen at once is staggering.
It's a LOT more actiony than, let's say, Waking Mars...but it has a really cool atmosphere and great pacing.
Controls are very well done, even if I wish they could be a tad lower positioned.
Overall I'm very impressed for a genre I always found lacking on AppStore (or non existent).

were you a tester? Alistair is a pretty awesome dev thoroughly enjoyed Bankers!

No (although I gladly would have been), the podcast I co-host interviewed him for our episode this week. We really enjoy his work and as we're all Brits, a bit of helpful promotion doesn't go amiss.

If you feel like getting your Where's Waldo on, Little Things Forever is free at the moment.

Hey all. This is my game, discounted to free for the first time. Definitely a more chill kind of game than Gaffers may normally go for.

Please download, have a try. My next game is more 'core' oriented. A real time collectible card game

So....I've turned my iPad into a "gaming console" with a little dosage of jailbreak goodness, and Apple TV 3, and most importantly, a Dual Shock 3. I'm playing SFV and SFxTekken on my 50" Plasma using a Dual Shock 3. This is all, of course, running on my iPad mini.

Apple... It's time to stop playing around, and release native apps for Apple TV!

I'm telling you guys, I was literally floored by how responsive SF was using the DS over Bluetooth. It felt _completely_ natural.

Siiiiiiick! that new Blutrol looks amazing. I need to get on this. This could make Vice City perfect.

Wait there, isn't Ridiculous Fishing a clone of Ninja Fishing from well over a year ago?

Ridiculous Fishing is indeed ridiculous. Loving it.

I'm addicted to Tapped Out. Spent £10 and have removed my card to stop any more purchases.

Mmm hmm, I hear that. Spent about £30 myself, but I was the beneficiary of a glitch that gave me 900+ donuts, so Karma must dig me.

Erm, it is though right?

Good friend dream, I'm eagerly awaiting the friends list for turn-based multiplayer in SSG2 to populate.

$1.99 to unlock the last shot power indicator is quite the hidden cost, wouldn't you say? Double the price of the game.

I don't find it essential at all. I mean, it's only a last shot indicator, and it has notches you can count anyway.

Super Stickman Golf 2 is the real deal.

Cool! I've had your Little Things games for a while. Just want to say I love them. If anyone is into hidden object games, Little Things is top notch. Very polished. Hope this gets you some sales.

Video is meh nothing to see except DS3 because it doing same thing with Blutrol 2.0 or older, but Holy Grail analog controls, Dual stick shooter joy!!!

I've been waiting to use two sticks for too while. It work very well and DS3 support even better.

I know I'm months late, but The Blockheads is all kinds of amazing. I didn't play it when the "jobs run offline" patch wasn't in... seems like it would be a grind. But now that you can queue up tasks and go do other stuff, it's great.

I set up huge jobs - stuff like mining 30 blocks, then just leave and play something else for a minute. IT's great.

What mine-crafty game do you recommend most? I have the official minecraft app but the controls frustrate me. Maybe I would prefer blockheads or Junk Jack?

I heard it had tilt controls which is kind of putting me off, but I also read that it's pretty finely tuned. I'm on the fence about it.

Junk jack is a good terraria clone. Only downside I've encountered is the jumping, which is rage inducing.

I'm a big fan of Eden: World Builder, but the controls are fairly similar to Minecraft PE, so you might not dig it. Arf arf.

I am also playing Blockheads and it's amazing. I am interested in Junk Jack but it doesn't support iPhone 5 and they have Junk Jack 2 coming out at some point so I will just wait (plus Blockheads is free!).

Yeah, I still don't know what you're talking about. You sound like that guy who thinks music critics just pretend to love Sonic Youth to look cool. The fact is: There are no cool points in games because games are not cool and never will be. Ever.

I can't believe people still throw around "game journalist." It was obnoxious 10 years ago. There are no critical authorities left to tear down, so you can stop throwing your feces now.

[PittaGAF]

FYI information Siltherine (Battle Academy, Panzer Corps, Legions and others) just signed a deal with Games Workshop for a turn based Warhammer 40000 game (platform not specified but they recently said all their upcoming titles will be for iPad too).

This is shaping to be a Warhammer year.
I'm in heaven.

(This game is on top of the already announced Warhammer Quest and Space Hulk).

How's the KR update?

 

[jlevel13]

I heard it had tilt controls which is kind of putting me off, but I also read that it's pretty finely tuned. I'm on the fence about it.

The controls work fine, actually they're pretty fun. I do feel like the game is a bit shallow though. Great art and music, but not a lot of substance - sort of like a micro-arcade game (or a fun Wario Ware mini-game).

Not currently, though I saw Foursaken Media mention one of the ideas up for a future update for it was a mode that does what you're asking, make it in to just crafting then seeing if you survive without the first person part.

Edit:

How's the KR update?

Looks good at a quick glance to me. 2 new heroes ($5 each lol), but they do sound good, and 2 new stages, and all existing stages get a hard mode. I enjoyed the campaign more than the challenge levels for the most part, so revisiting it on hard will be the most fun and that's free at least. For the paid heroes, one is a ground-only fighter that can summon three support units and change in to a bear, and the other hero has a high damage ranged attack with ice/freezing abilities.

 

[BobJustBob]

155/155 in Pixel People! No money spent, though I probably would have bought the coin doubler if I had found that building earlier in the game.

Awesome. I'll gladly go through all the stages again.
