I bought Farm Simulator too. Fuck the haters. I be harvestin dat wheat. Also Happy Street is another shining example of freemium done right. Monster Life, on the other hand.. well.. wow is all I have to say. Not one, not two, but three forms of refillable currency. It's a shame, too, as the art style is amazing.

I worked on this game, Cave Rescue. out today (free).
it's a "Poke-inspired Roguelike Jr."
featuring art by the talented Mano Yomoguchi
thanks to anyone out there for giving it a shot!
What an absolutely bizarre lookin game. Grabbing it right now, but it looks a lot like Earthbound from the screens.
Just picked up an iPad 3 as well, so I'll probably be a regular in this thread again now that I can dump apps on a device other than my phone. Looking forward to Baldur's Gate!

Sweet! Really glad you're enjoying Ravenmark, and thank you for putting us in the leagues of console-level strategy/SRPG titles. We'd really just be happy to make enough to keep the lights on, feed ourselves and churn out more quality work that people can dig into.

My game Kid Vector is out now on the App Store!
It's a retro platformer filled with glorious vector graphics.
App Store Link - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/kid-vector/id458927955?ls=1&mt=8
Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OREQqbqDl7A
I've also put 3 promo codes in this post, quote to reveal!
Awesome. I also love that you always support the iCade!
I'm trying to finish off Beat Sneak Bandit, and I'm missing two achievements, one of which is completing the final boss in a seemingly impossible time. The other one, is Fourtastic, where on Laboratory 10 you have to hit each button at least four times. I've ran overtop each button as much as six times and I cannot get the achievement to register. Tried restarting my phone and doing it, and I still cannot get it. Don't know what the deal is, and saw where people have had issues with their achievements registering, but figured I might be missing something (you don't have to answer the phone four times, do you?).
Jetpack Joyride is fine with one hand.

Yes I had that exact issue. I can't finish the final boss achievement-to me that one seems impossible to accomplish. However for the Fourtastic one-the only way I got that to trigger was to do this-which might not be possible for you unless you have 2 iOS devices.
1. install the game on your second iOS device.
2. delete the game on your second iOS device. It will prompt you to remove the game from GameCenter. Do so...
3. Now return to the device that has your save file on it. When you open it and it connects to GameCenter-the game should do a check to see what you have accomplished and then send those over to GameCenter. When I did this-it finally triggered the Fourtastic achievement.
Good luck-I hate achievement problems and they seem to plaque me on the games I play.

It's that great? I keep meaning to buy Ravenmark but, for some reason, I never actually get around to it.

Interesting. Does this work for all iOS games?

Unfortunately not-I've tried it on a few others...
Thank you. I'll see if I can try this this weekend. The game is such quality, I'd hope problems like this would have been ironed out by now.

Yep, see my post above.

Really sorry about that.
Try to "kill" the app from the multitask thing (double click home button). Start game, replay level (achievement is saved, it just needs to be sent to GC again - hard restarting game should reconnect you to GC).
Hope it works.
Edit: nope, no need to answer the helper phone.
Also, last achievement is doable, but it basically means that you have to use EVERY bomb that appears. And that takes some nerves!
Edit 2: genuinely sorry that you're experiencing problems!
Real Racing 3 trailer. I said wow.
Where is the trailer? I'm seeing a screenshot
The Fourtastic achievement in Beat Sneak Bandit also lagged for me. I did the stage a bunch of times thinking there was something wrong but it eventually registered after a couple of hours.
Final boss achievement is possible but yeah, it's pretty much a perfect run like Ninjagorilla said (he would know lol). You have to memorize the entire thing, make up a strategy and keep retrying until you manage to beat each of his attacks as quickly as possible. I had a timer running on a computer close to me to check if I was still within the required time, but it's not really necessary if you manage to use every bomb.

Actually thinking about it, I think 150 seconds allows for one little mistake (depending on when it's made, sequences towards the end are longer)
Seeing that pic also reminded me of the one Meme reference we've ever made. Usually not a fan of internet meme references in games, but that one was too good to pass up on.
Turf Geography Club looks interesting, though I have never played any of the 'check in' type games before.

So basically they don't even test if the monetization goes against the game or its enjoyment at all... wow. Not surprised so many games are broken because of IAPs on IOS, I suppose most devs don't give a f...

Real Racing 3 trailer, sweet music. Shame to see the EA logo. Has Firemint been rebranded as Firemonkeys?

But they're just all so cheap
Trust me, I know exactly what I SHOULD be doing, but I'm weak. Exact same thing happens every steam sale -sigh-
I just end up going back to my multiplayer boardgames (Carc, nightfall, Ascension, Summoner Wars, Neuroshima Hex) and hardly ever play the other games
Also, there'a actual science behind that backlog thing, it's called "The paralysis of choice"
the thing with iOS is.. omg it's 0.99 buy buy buy buy
omg it's free.. why not?
and that's how it all continues with the backlog never ending
This is pretty great. Like Tiny Tower + Foursquare.
Count me in! I want some virtual tractor action too!
Yup, Firemint was merged with IronMonkey Studios, creating Firemonkeys.
Really sorry about that.

That's okay. Thank you for the reply. Will try your solution as soon as my phone's finished charging. Know BSB might still be my second-favorite game of the year, behind Fez. Far and away the best thing on iOS.
Bow. Hope to join you in the next couple weeks. I've been pecking away at the game since release and finally decided I need to finish it off.

RR3 looks hot but I have huge doubts right now, will wait for some real footage before I get excited, this is EA after all who are this close to butchering what was a great team, firemint.
good, it can live next to my flashback app in joy and love.

sweet trailer. Putting Rusko in my spotify playlist now.
Is Flashback gone from the App Store? Just tried to find it to no avail.
wow. just wow. Looks amazing.
And Firemint fused with... uh... I forgot whom, but it was a developer that used to work with EA, so they're now a bigger studio and that's most likely why the EA logo is there. I don't think EA has strong control (if any) on it though, so I wouldn't be too scared. Firemint's got this.

Is there anything like Six-Guns on the appstore that isn't a fremium garbage fest?

Whoever buys this, please give us some feedback! Can't wait to hear about how it is
Buying it now...I'll check back in soon.
edit: the controls fucking suck on my The New iPad. let's see if it's better on my iPhone...
See, the problem is it doesn't have a d-pad but it does have A and B buttons. So you have to touch the top of the screen to walk around in town, then reach back down to tap A to talk to people. Plus, it doesn't really seem to have many (if any) RPG elements; it's pretty much a middling Arkanoid game with RPG-stylings so far. I can't say this is the best 3 bucks I've ever spent.
I agree! Very slick reskin of Temple Run.
