For the new iPad?
Holy crap, I was just about to come in here and post this. I was wondering why people weren't talking about it.
I have always heard of the console games but never knew what they were about, so I bought this purely on the user reviews and the screenshots alone, and I'm really satisfied with my purchase. It's got goals/missions a la Jetpack Joyride so it satisfies that carrot-on-a-stick gameplay I find addictive in mobile game, in addition to a pretty good arcade shooter base. It's pretty fun. Kind of makes me want to check out the console games. Edit: Wait, is this a kids game??
There's a specific board game thread? I didn't know that. Board and card games are pretty much the only game genres I play on iOS as its the only thing that works for me touch only.
yeah started it up a couple days ago for discussion of online iOS board games, mostly async stuff. be sure to check out the OP: http://neogaf.net/forum/showthread.php?t=468889
nightfall is the current hotness but we play tons of carc, ttr, and ascension and i'm trying to start up less popular stuff like fealty and tigris & euphrates just for variety
I think it depends on which iOS Cave game. I think Espgaluda 2 & Dodonpachi Resurrection may have unlimited continues (I've only recently got them so I can't confirm if its really unlimited). So far I have Bug Princess 1 & 2..and you earn 1 continue for every 2 game overs (you can just not use continue to get a game over). After the 9th continue, I unlocked unlimited continues.
Been playing it for a bit, it's a lot of fun and I like it, but I don't like that you don't get actual loot, but you get unlocked specific weapons in a specific order for specific missions that you then have to buy with ingame-gold... kinda sucks.

already gone. Thanks anyway.
The regular ones use the original arcade resolution, 240x320, while the HD ones have high res sprites with the original backgrounds (sounds bad but it's not noticeable in action). So on an iPad for example, instead of looking like this: http://i.imgur.com/goZI2.jpg
It'll look like this: http://i.imgur.com/toghE.jpg
Well those are different screen sizes but look at the HUD, ships, bullets, etc., on the iPhone the improvement looks great too. Just play the lite versions of both to see them in action yourself. Keep in mind the minimum requirements are iPad 2 or iPhone 4S. Technically the iPhone 4 can play them but the framerate is halved, I loved the look and it was still playable, but preferred the smoother framerate of the non HD ones, ymmv.
Hell is the arcade difficulty for the ones that have the option. I'm not sure how Hard compares in the other games.Just wanted to say that I'm absolutely loving Bug Princess 2!Still not very good at it though, at 665th place in Maniac mode lol
I'm curious, is this the original arcade difficulty? Also congrats on the 1 credit maniac!
I figure there's a decent chance (cause the high res sprites already exist) but it could be a while. Could just be a few months or next year for all we know.
Also the bullets themselves, the bigger ones at least, have a smaller hitbox than the graphic.

How the hell am I supposed to get the 2 coins on the right of this level in The Last Rocket:
King of Dragons Pass is about as deep as it can possibly get, if that's what you're looking for. Also, Ravenmark is pretty awesome (not really simulation-y.)
what's this game?
Already bought Kings of Dragon Pass a while ago, excellent game. Just watched some Ravenmark videos, it looks pretty interesting, thanks for the suggestion.

Anyone on here playing DragonVale? My son and I are getting addicted and would love to have more friends to send/receive gems.
As a side note, it annoys me that so many games don't allow for multiple save games or profiles. Games developers need to acknowledge that these devices are being used by families. Also, not wanting to give them evil ideas, but there's plenty of ways you could monetize that too.

Anyone?
<haven't started EAS yet, and never played hot springs story, so they're excluded>
Game Dev Story
Pocket League Story
Grand Prix Story
Mega Mall Story
Pocket Academy
Edo Towns
Venture Towns
Aside from venture towns, I love them all, and have gotten my monies worth several times over (even with VT)

I think most prefer the menu based gameplay of Game Dev so that, Grand Prix and Pocket League Story in any order are the "best" three.

Not sure if it's the type of strategy you're looking for, but if you're willing to spend the money I've only heard good things about Battle Academy. It's also on Mac/PC with demos available for them if you want to try it out before buying.

Why didn't anyone remind me about noby noby boy being on iOS? This is the best thing ever!

Have a look at the Romance of the Three Kingdoms or Nobunaga's Ambition games by Koei on iOS. They've pricey, but they're decent pocket strategy titles.
Oh, and of course, Starbase Orion.

Yeah, the name is kind of a misnomer. But I'm surprised I'm enjoying it as much as I am. It's actually a lot more interesting than I thought it would be. The combat is very fun. My only gripe is the size. It's over 800mb after install. It just doesn't look and sound like it should be such a big file.
Thanks for your advice , I'm already hooked on TTR
Now come join us in the iOS Online Boardgaming Megathread and get some games going.

I'm gonna download Epic Astro Story but Game Dev story was a bit cheap IMO. The game was unbalanced, and anything that happened was basically random. "Oh you made a Cowboy MMO! THIS IS A POPULAR GENRE!" really? lol

I'd love to get Pirates on my ipad, but it hasn't seen an update since launch. I hate getting stuff that is ignored after release.
Civ Rev looks like it get some attention though....
And I forgot Lost Winds is available on iOS. Anyone tried it?
The default controls are not as natural or functional as the Wii version, but for a buck I'm glad to have it on my iPhone. It's still beautiful, still clever, and very moving

Anyone else having problems with Bug Princess 2 not saving your score sometimes? Is there anything you can do to keep this from happening? Hopefully they come out with an update soon.
Apparently it's a known issue. I'm just hoping that my prior scores are saved somewhere and will ultimately register. I've also noticed that even local high scores don't seem to save. For me, only my very first score saved and uploaded. None has been saved since then. They've had similar problems with other releases, but in those games, it was just spotty. This time, it's just simply broken.
Scores on score attack are fine though--locally and online.
From Cave's tweet..they're working on it.

I had a blast with the lite version. Waiting on my new idevice to download the full version since my save won't transfer, but it's definitely a purchase for me. Give the lite version a try if you're still on the fence.
I wonder what this might be: XXWL9RMHPRK6
Oh It's Kids vs Goblins for Ipad 2 & iPhone 4s.
==Updates==
Kids vs Goblins iOS will be back in the store in a few days! Also the Mac osX version will be in the store sometime next week. Hopefully we'll hear back from Steam asap.
