UG! My game crashes literally EVERY SINGLE PLAY. Are you having the same problem? Love the game, but I havent played it in weeks because of this bug - it makes it unplayable for me.

Just get a refurbished 16gig from apple.com- it's the same price but double the memory. The only downside is that you'll have to pay $5 to get the 3.1 software, but considering that you're getting 8 extra gigabytes $5 is nothing. I got a refurb two weeks ago and I don't regret the purchase at all.
Anyway, Eliminate sounds like it's coming along nicely. How long does the submission process for a game usually take?

I just saw the iphone/touch ad on espn.com and the graphics look 100 times better when you actually play the game.

What the fuck is the deal with Gameloft not releasing Dungeon Hunter on the Japanese App Store? 
I wanted to play this game, but seeing how they are taking so long to release it, I might very well just ignore it whenever it's out...
Seriously, it's the first time this happens with a Gameloft game. They always release everything at the same time.

they patched it to work with external mics for iPod Touch 2nd Gen
I'm guessing it will only let you record though you won't be able to hear the auto-tune live

It has the ability to be played on your iPhone, which is awesomeFoob said:
Well, they did have a hiccup on launch - there was a game-breaking bug discovered and they had to pull it off the store. It only re-released a couple days ago.Mik2121 said:What the fuck is the deal with Gameloft not releasing Dungeon Hunter on the Japanese App Store?

I want canabult but... um, I was expecting it for .99 since the gameplay is very simple... then again, it is a very nice game.
I'm in no hurry so I'll wait.

I fired up Underworlds because nobody is in the office and was disappointed when the scantily-clad, big-breasted portrait I chose translated to the same guy as the other guy. Who is a guy.
Does Dungeon Hunter have some spell slinging tarts for me to play as or is it attending the same sausage-fest as Underworlds?

Maybe they are localizing it into Japanese, seems like the type of game where that could take a while.
Mixed feelings about canabault.
I enjoy it and it's really addictive, and the music is great. But the touch detection for jumping is really shitty and if you need to do a quick double jump then 9 times out of 10 it misses the second jump. The furthest I made was 2700m
The jumps into buildings sometimes feel a bit cheap too.
I think for $4 it's a bit expensive. $2 would be fine considering I don't think it will hold my attention for more than a few days.

Hey folks,
So it was between the PSPgo and the iPhone 3GS 32 gig. I picked up the iPhone, partially for its gaming potential. What are the have to have games that will impress so I don't feel too bad seeing all of these sexy PSPgo pictures?

Played a bit of Canabalt on the website, and I've gotta say, it looks spectacular and sounds amazing. The animation's excellent, and the sense of urgency that the game creates is really spectacular.
Two problems, though - it feels like there's a moment after you land where you can't jump again - a few frames where a jump input isn't registering. If that's the case, it's making the controls feel really unresponsive when you really, really need them to work.
The second thing is that when things get going fast, it really seems like there's a point where you can get into situations where you simply *cannot* respond appropriately. You're just moving too fast. You jump, and you can't see where you're going to land, so if you happen to land in a gap... you're screwed. There was no way to know it was coming, since the level keeps changing, and there was no way to see it, since it was off-screen. So I jump to avoid an obstacle, and I land in a gap that scrolls in from off-screen to my instant death. Am I missing something? Because what happened is that most of my games ended in failure I couldn't see coming.

I actually think that the touch controls are better than the mouse. I seem to be able to control them better, and deft, fast, light taps register really nicely.

See, when that happens I start using the boxes strategically - as in, to slow me down. Crash into a cardboard box, slow down. You can still jump all the jumps, but you retain some of the control.

Thought I would check in with an update re: DownToZero, since I was so vocal about the developer changing the name to "Countdown", and changed the visual style to a horrible, generic aesthetic.
I've completely ignored the update badge on my phone since that time, until this morning. I happened to have 5 other updates available, so I was going through them one at a time in iTunes. For kicks, I decided to look at the update info for "Countdown".
Well, as of September 29th, the dev appears to have made changes again, this time making namw "Countdown: DownToZero". More importantly, the version notes indicate that it's now possible to toggle the visuals between the original look, the revised "colorful" look, and a new look which is simple and clean. I'm still not happy about the new icon and revised name, but it appears that it's safe for people like myself to update finally, without risk of losing the original tileset.

I'm still a-playin' every so often... Though I must say the anagrammers are a little out of control... Bring on the speed tables!

I can only speak for Canabalt so far. It's a 2d platform parkour where you tap to jump and that's it. Don't let the simplicity fool you, it's definitely a well thought out game that will keep you addicted. You'll be surprised on how a small game on your iDevice manages to produce such a deep atmosphere.
However, it's $2.99 and I may be new to the app store community but I have a feeling that the game will eventually have a sale.
