Tanooki Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Just a shout out thanks here. I've not enjoyed phone touchy games much at all for awhile, but I find myself playing that Grumpy Cat game almost every single day at least for 5min or more as it really is a solid wario ware touched clone. The fact you can get extra cats which makes for added minigames is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 The iOS App Store has a featured story about a bunch of other CAT GAMES today. Cat Quest seems to be something everyone likes. I think it's well suited to mobile, but it's also on Switch, Steam, and PS4. https://thegentlebros.com/catquest/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Panda pop. It was a free thing that came on my phone. It's just a bust a move lol the bubble type of game, but it's fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Kingpin Bowling is featured in the App Store today. I like the look and music, and the gameplay reminds me of what I like about "classic gaming." Free to start, and you can remove ads for two bucks, which is something I usually do for things I like, whenever possible. This is iOS only. Looks like there's a POS knockoff on the Play Store for Android. Boo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DustyKramKram Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I've had an okay time with Friday the 13th: Puzzle Killer for Android. I believe it's also available on iOS. It's free, too. Cartoony, bloody violence, and the puzzles do get pretty tough later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Galaxy on Fire 3 just got updated with a "Story Mode," which I guess is more like GOF2 or the Switch port of GOF3. Skip the grinding and in app payments. I loved GOF2 so I bought it right away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Games Retrospect Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 The last mobile game I remember really getting into was Solitarica. I beat it and then moved on, but I couldn't find another offline to play wherever I go. I often find myself in situations where I don't have an internet connection and most games aren't an option (I love Hearthstone, but I can't play it most of the places I go.) Solitarica was amazing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Microtrip. Your a wiggly blob falling through an environment, eating white things and avoiding being poked by spikes. Sometimes you can get a pill that will do various things to you, attract food, push away spikes, he small to more easily dodge, or big to just smash through things. I like that there are two control methods, tilt to move, or touch to move. Very simple game, but it's amusing to watch the guy jiggle and squeeze through the environment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I know it's semi off the topic since I'm not playing it, but has anyone ever got a successful build for ios or android going of Micropolis (aka Sim City Classic?) That would be a great time eater on the go. I know there's a semi-working web based one but mobile browsers don't cut it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No micro transactions or timers, SimCity done right. https://www.pockettactics.com/reviews/pocket-city/ Unrelated: remember Castle Crashers? Wonder Blade is like that.

Tanooki Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Wow I like that first one, feels like almost the tweaks they did to the classic game for the DS release over a decade ago which worked well. It didn't have the Xp system but that does make some good sense on a free game so you don't just unlock all the crazy stuff at once, and also you can't just lag around for a date to pop to just get tech. Earning it and for a $5 buy with no harassment seems very nice. I never was into castle crashers but that does look like it would be fun for someone who was and at $3 that's very nice for a price point.

Flojomojo Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 $3 and no in-app-purchase shenanigans. It's pretty neat. "Wonder Blade." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I put a little more time on that city builder very late last night and the curve it has is quite encouraging. THe price of spreading out to new real estate chunks on the maps inches up so it make you along with gaining experience and new options for building to keep the game more fresh than just waiting on cash to wash rinse repeat with old Sim City but doesn't lose that niceness of it either. It doesn't seem to delve into annoying ordinance whiners and no underground time wasting on that stuff either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digdugnate Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 i'm sorta ashamed to admit i've been playing 'Spookiz Pop'. It's a match-3 game that doesn't use the 'lives' mechanic and ads are fairly non intrusive. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.superbox.aos.spookizpop&hl=en_US my wife started playing it so i gave it try.

Flojomojo Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Lots of big-name Japanese console games on mobile today, all pay-once premium games, no free-to-play shenanigans. All 3 will be on both Android and iOS. - Monster Hunter Stories (note there's a free demo called MHST Beginnings that will transfer your progress to the paid game) - Harvest Moon: Light of Hope - Professor Layton and the Curious Village If there were any doubt: mobile devices are the new 3DS/Vita.

Flojomojo Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Screenshots don't do justice to how much fun PAKO 2 is. Car chases galore, lots of what the kids call "emergent gameplay." Except it's way more fun than Fortnite will ever be. http://treemengames.com/pako2/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Oh, and Stardew Valley is coming to iOS really soon now, Android to follow. Civilization VI on iPhone too. I'm one satisfied dork right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) I keep wanting to buy that, but I waffle and don't because Harvest Moon confused me so badly on SNES and N64 as I never could get anything to grow despite supposedly following online walkthroughs enough, bad luck I guess, no digital green thumb. Yet seeing Stardew it looked like a more fun better designed modern setup of that same game. It's very tempting, so I may have to see when it happens, and if perhaps a nice iOS discount pops up at some rate depending on the opening value as I'd hate to be trapped if I didn't care for it. I'm still messing with Dragalia Lost but it seems to have hit an inconvenience wall I've noticed and hard. Once you clear out Ch5 #6 opens up another section of the game and ability to play hard mode on past stages. The problem is the game seems to be grossly miss reporting the recommended team MIGHT level to attempt a stage (normal or hard mode.) I'm going in on stuff like the 2nd stage of Ch6 or Ch1 on HARD and getting slapped around and barely finishing or killed and my might is like 1-1.2K higher than the recommended. My team is well set with nice gear, all 4-5 star level dragons and cards, but still getting smoked. I think the game has some balancing problems or they want to more strongly encourage spending than like with Animal Crossing or Fire Emblem. I'm thinking once I can get my castle grounds up to lv100, when I can do smithy lv4, and I can get the 4star tier of weapons to use maybe I'll survive ok then dealing notably more damage hopefully. Otherwise this game is going to end up being a random poke and forgotten as it's getting to be a grating and not rewarding kind of grind sadly.

Flojomojo Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Prince of Persia: Escape Feels like the old game, but without the thinking. That suits me just fine. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ketchapp.pope&hl=en_US https://itunes.apple.com/uy/app/prince-of-persia-escape/id1435320545?mt=8 Also, Icewind Dale (Bioware D&D RPG) is on sale for two bucks. https://www.reddit.com/r/AppHookup/comments/9n1tbo/android_ios_icewind_dale_enhanced_edition_999_199/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I no longer can recommend the game Dragalia Lost. (Short answer without description why -- It's a misleading whale game.)Once you hit Chapter 6 the levels they tell you that you need to be with your MIGHT level vs what a stage asks for is 100% broken. The game once you get the last of the elemental dragons (Ch5 finish) is basically broken. You'll have stages where your might is 1000-1500 higher than what is required to take down a stage and you get your ass handed to you by the game. At this rate due to what it costs to level up various aspects to get into tier2 (4star) weaponry takes a lot of excessive grinding for stuff vs a very limited small stamina bar that refills like 1 tick every 10min so you're basically strongly but outright indirectly goaded into paying to level up. Nintendo appears to have by publishing this 100% outside piece of work falling into the asshole realm of whale fishing. If you have the patience to stick with it for days/weeks to just inch up once you break past that point in the game, more power to you, but I'm strongly now considering erasing it because what it tells you you need to be vs what you have to be to do a basic common stage map is a fucking lie to be blunt about it. I do wonder how well Icewind Dale would handle on a little iphone though. I would think touch controls could get you mauled, but on the up side unlike the PC version you'll likely have cloud saves so your progress isn't lost if something crumbles (which happened to a lot of work on the PC release I was doing over a year ago.)

Rick Dangerous Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I have three games on my Google Pixel 2 XL -Final Freeway, Temple Run 2, and Worms: 2. I enjoy all of them and would like to play more on my phone. I'd rather start for free and then pay 1-5 bucks to remove ads if I like the game. i can't stand games that rely on money to advance or win the game, like Clash of Clans and crap like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
