Why do that when I can spend more money on it?

It's like Snoopy's Street Fair but with the aesthetics of Animal Crossing. It seems a little more generous at giving you currency to do stuff with, but not by much.
And I agree with you on Monster Life. Really liking that one also.

It's the same game. You build a building, wait to restock it, restock it, use the money to build new buildings/houses to get more people to buy things, wait for those to be built, occasionally tap on people to get them to buy things to get more money so you can build/upgrade more, skip the waiting by using a currency you can accumulate slowly or buy with real money. It's that game again.
I was really shocked by how many of them there were when I was downloading everything on FreeMyApps for credits. They're all literally the same game reskinned.

They're literally not.
On the face of it, maybe, but there's a fair bit more strategy to Happy Street than Tiny Tower, and each game handles its premium currency in ways with varying degrees of trying to rip off a player.
If you don't like the genre, that's fine, but saying they're all the same is like saying all FPS games are literally the same game reskinned because you don't like them and can't be bothered to make the effort to see what makes each game unique.
(The above post doesn't apply to Zynga, who do just release literally the same games reskinned.)
Snoopy's Street Fair has gotten a lot better with doling out the bucks for premium items, as well as sales on some of the items that let you save your bucks. I've gotten about half of the premium characters by just waiting for free bucks from events/daily rewards and I have yet to spend money on any.
I'm really addicted to Happy Street as well, the only problem I have is that I wish there was a way to expand that didn't require flooz. I definitely think they could be a little more liberal with giving them out (like tiny tower) but I'm still loving the game.

Hey everyone, some shameless self promotionI am a designer over at Phosphor games (we did Dark Meadow last year). We just put out our first official trailer for our new action/adventure game 'Horn'.
We will be releasing a little later this month.

Slide your finger up and down over the monster.
I tried that but it wouldn't count as completing the mission.

I think you need to do it three of four times. I did it until the monster was angry from it.

I don't remember why or when, but I downloaded Grand Par Golf years ago and like it. Similar to Hot Shots. Haven't put a TON of time into it though so I can't speak for the amount of courses/content.
anybody know how playable Space Harvest is on the smaller iPhone screen?

Dead Trigger looks incredible on my 4S but oh god them controls. Not even any decent options as far as I can tell.
Dungeon Village on the other hand is virtual crack. Best grid-based Kairosoft game, especially thanks to the "rearrange" option.

For some reason you can't change the button layout at the "world" map, but you can change it by going into the pause menu when in a mission.
Personally, I never touched 'em, and I found the game perfectly doable.

Between Jurassic Park and Monster Life, I'm really getting sucked in to all these world builder games. Now I know how my grandma felt playing farmville. I'm still not going to pay any money for items or annoy my friends with requests though. At least, not yet.
So is there anyone using Gameloft Live who wants to be my neighbor in Monster Life? I'm not sure how to add friends on that service.

Surprisingly, I'm enjoying Dead Trigger a LOT more than I expected. I haven't found any need for IAPs after hitting level 11.

Congratulations, you really deserve it!
I bought gold in dead trigger, just cause i wanted cooler guns quicker

I thought about it, but if I watch enough ads and get enough daily reward stuff, I should be OK, ha.
It's fun but screw the stupid Facebook integration. It's the first screen you load to!

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
Happy Street might possibly be the most polished timesink game I've ever played. But then it reminds you that it's kind of like all the other ones with the waiting and iap. I still appreciate their effort a lot, I was just hoping for more Animal Crossing then Farmville.

Has anyone given Spacechem Mobile a try? I've heard great things about the PC version but the iPad version doesn't seem to have any buzz
Also I stumbled upon this article about an Xcom clone. Sounds interesting

It requires Facebook to play?
I really enjoy Par Out Golf. You draw lines to holes while accounting for obstacles and wind. It's better than it sounds. The free version has a few holes while the paid version has a few courses. I get a lot of satisfaction out of lowering my score on a course after multiple play-throughs. For me, it's not about getting a low score on a single hole, it's about having the enduring skill to have a low score for 18 holes.
Spacechem on iPad is fabulous. Great port. Buy it.
I believe Let's golf 2 is the best hot shots clone. But it's no longer available on the store. :|

Not sure if it's been mentioned but I've playing Tenticle Wars (iPhone | HD) and I think it's awesome! The only downside is the lack of levels and unfortunately it isn't universal.
It looks like it is based off the flash game but the iOS versions have a much improved presentation.

Yeah I was disappointed to see that when I started it. What are the benefits of Facebook integration? Advertisement?
Thankfully no, I don't have a Facebook and I've been playing it with no problems. It just asks you if you want to import your contacts or something like that.
I'm still waiting for this game to come out in the Euro store... (I tried with a US account but the game crash immediatly ;_; )
Anyway, thanks for recommanding Ice Rage, playing Hockey with a bear has never been this fun!

Huh, weird. Thanks, will try tomorrow when I'm home. I'm just not that fond of dual analog simulation on touchscreens most of the time. Mass Effect Infiltrator is the only one I remember having no problems with, thanks to automatic shooting mostly.
Dead Trigger would be dull to play on any other platform, but it works here. The really slow zombies, and overall slow game play, benefits the iOS controls.
It looks like a modern FPSer, it smells like a modern FPSer, and it sort of tastes like one. And I guess that's good enough so far.
I also sunk a half dozen hours and spent $3 on IAP gold, so I can't complain too much.

Im playing heaps of dead trigger recently. Need more gold!
I've had Spacechem Mobile for awhile now and all I can say is BUY THIS GAME!!! Spacechem has pretty much reached classic status for me.

Try the Tapjoy options. You can earn a couple of hundred gold in a few minutes.

I want to grab Spacechem, but $5.99 makes that pretty difficult. Just so much other stuff I have sitting around unfinished, hard to justify the purchase.
also noticed this.
It's not working. I have tried every direction of finger swiping on the Diggster and it never counts as petting.
If anyone figures out how to pet in Monster Life, please post instructions.
Been wondering about this myself.

I got it recently, but I've only been out running once with it. It's pretty cool, it opens up with a story then plays your playlist and intersperses story bits and "collectibles" along the way. Pretty cool.

I'm going to grab this next time it goes on sale. I think that should be in the next week or two, based on their past sales.

Yeah. My folks just got the newest iPad and I was considering buying this game.
Is it as great as they say, or is it overrated?

Not really. There are many ways to get gold, many armors give gold+.

That's really odd. I just got on there and it took, like, two seconds of that it for it to work.
