Pretty sure it's random then goes on chronological order after everyone's had a turn.Yeah I haven't started my turn cause I realized I'm waaaay more terrible that I though, I wouldn't have fun atm.
Trying to do the campaign to learn, sucks there's no tutorial or anything... I mean I even had to try weapon one vy one going by the icons since it doesn't tell me shit!
Also ubernewbz question: apparently it's the CPU who decides which worm I'm taking control in each turn?
I can't choose, swap or even know in advance which one is it going to be?
Gimme some tips goddamnit I bought the game cause of you
There's also a help menu that is very informative.

I have problems with my iphone 5 sometimes with iTunes 11, no idea why or what or how but it just sometimes refuses to work, not that I use it often.
Is your ipad 2 up to date with the latest iOS? I think iTunes 11 needs you to be in a fairly modern iOS version.

Personally I'm not interested in it but I 'lost' 3 friends already with that game...they are playing it complusively.

So I finally update Clash of Heroes yesterday (iPad) and they totally broke the sprites in battle, they're hideously pixellated now it's so ugly. Hope they fix that shit. I love the game though, it's become my go-to puzzle game, the flow of 'combat' is very satisfying indeed.
Yup, it's fantastic, so much better the Minecraft Pocket from a control POV and far more playability as well.
Can't recommend it enough.
I'm still knee-deep in their previous game, the excellent Heroes and Castles. But I'm definitely buying this one later.
Been pretty dead for me on iOS as of late, but this week is looking pretty solid.

Super Stickman Golf 2
This Unmechanical game looks pretty good, too.

@ Justin - any idea if the daily app store update videos will make a comeback? Or maybe a weekly one or similar!?
I do a video every day still. This is today's:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ca9g9Bt27gs
Note that I'm super tired and today's is pretty low-energy. If you watch and think it's fine, then... cool. But just be aware that we usually try to lean on "entertain" just as much as "inform" and I don't think I hit that this morning.
Great video as always (Grabben Granny Smith, Pen and Paper and PQ2). Is there a way to get notifications on youtube when you post the new store updates videos? I had that page bookmarked for a while but now today's video was posted on the main IGN account so it doesn't show up there.
This reminds me of gene effect. Loved that game.
Oh, had no idea it was coming out on iOS. I remember liking the GB Quicklook.

Looks like it'll take up a ton of space and control like crap.
Am definitely going to look into the PC version though, because it does look really good
Twisted Pixel told me that "The complete, final version of Ms. Splosion Man on iOS, which looks stunning" will be at PAX East. Coming soon, then.
Unmechanical is quite good but very very short; don't expect to play it for much longer than a couple of hours. The GiantBomb QL of the game is a nice indicator of whether you might like it but it will spoil the puzzles for the start of the game. I completed it on PC in under 3 hours and that included a good portion of replaying to show others the game.
Ah! Thank you... I usually look at the playlist you have but it's good to know it's still being released
Really nice way of finding out the daily iOS happenings.Dash Kappei

In backups setting, choose "This computer" rather than iCloud. It will sync everything include new app version.
iCloud sync is so so broken.

What is the installed filesize? I seem to remember hearing it's quite large.
EDIT: Too late, it's back to full price now.
Ridiculous Fishing!! The early version I played was so good that we're having a late night fish and chips party to celebrate its release. Here's some Twitter hype:
Simon Parkin (The Guardian, Eurogamer, Edge):
Robert Ashley (GFW Radio, A Life Well Wasted, Texas):
As someone that doesn't dabble and instead plays a few games until they are ground to dust, I feel pretty spoiled with this and Year Walk released so close together. I'm still playing Super Hexagon pretty much daily.

Well, I know people are championing it because it has an indie super team behind it, and it's had a tumultuous development that's been well-documented by places like Gamasutra and Polygon. It's always nice to see the good guys win. Personally, I love it because it is incredibly fun, irreverent and is a masterpiece of visual design. It's probably the closest I've seen a game come to replicating a perfect piece of graphic design. I can't talk about the amount of "polish" that's gone into it, as what I played a long while back certainly wasn't polished and polish isn't something Vlambeer is typically know for, but it was actually developed by Zach Gage who is known for his really elegant design. So I guess I believe all of the raves that say it has a lot of really polished content.
That about sums it up, I suppose. : )
Ah! Thank you... I usually look at the playlist you have but it's good to know it's still being released
Ah, yeah. Youtube playlists have to be curated by hand. So with hundreds of videos going up on multiple channels, sometimes they aren't updated daily. Instead someone will grab like the last 5-6 vids and throw them into the playlist. Normally this isn't a problem, but for a time-sensitive feature like the App Store Update that's a bigger deal.
I'll try and get the video guys to be more diligent about playlisting the video, or I'll try to do it myself.

Any good free RPGs out there? Itching for something turn based.
My friends at Frogmind just finished their first title: BADLAND

Nice. I was trying to remember the name of this game when listing games I'm looking forward to this year. The local multiplayer looked damn fun.
Lame! You can't continue games started on iPhone on the iPad and vice versa.Take your turn goddamn it

I'd be much more prone to donate if I was in a GAF Clan. We need to make it happen and stop beating around the bush.
Also I'm probably gonna buy Block Fortress tomorrow along with all the new releases. Got a brand new iTunes card that's just to burning a hole in my pocket.
I want Badland now.
How crazy is iOS gaming? iOS for life. Long live iOS.

I have tried it and it's decent, polished and fun. I haven't played it more than 15-20 minutes though.

Make sure to acquire the Vasebreaker Endless, i Zombie, and Last Stand puzzle bundles before you throw in the towel if you haven't, they're a lot of fun, particularly Vasebreaker Endless (I think the achievement requires you to make it to level 20 or something, it's pretty challenging)... that one is worth a few bucks on its own if you aren't using the Zen Garden to farm money.
You're in luck, Knights of Pen & Paper is currently free.
Also check out Undercroft.

Yes these are where the real challenge of the game lies if you ask me.
