| 5 Quick tl;dr iOS Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 12) Posted: 05 Apr 2019 11:05 AM PDT Hey there, Mobile Gaming friends :) Happy to be back with another episode of my quick tl;dr opinion / reviews of the 5 most interesting mobile games I played last week. This week, including a multiplayer brick breaker game that threw me back to the good old Flash browser-gaming days, a huge match-3 RPG with an insane amount of singleplayer content, a unique roguelite action platformer, a new kart racer that almost gets it right, and a challenging indie action game with some of the most unique gameplay I've experienced in a while! Disagree with my opinion? Let's have a friendly discussion below. New to these posts? Check out the first one from 12 weeks ago here. The games are "ranked" somewhat subjectively from best to worst, so take the ranking for what it is. Here are the 5 games of the week!:Quartz [Game Size: 17 MB] ($1)Genre: Indie / Retro / Sci-Fi / Platformer – Offline Playable Orientation: Portrait Required Attention: Full tl;dr review: Quartz is a very difficult trial-and-error indie action game where we control a small robot on its way to the bottom of a power plant to defeat the parasite Robot that has infected the machine. Running forward automatically, we tap the screen to jump and hold down to jump higher, as we attempt to make it through every floor while avoiding all spikes and timing our every move to correctly land on moving platforms. This indie gem is fun, infuriating, and unlike anything I've ever played, and at 17mb it's also the tiniest game I've played till date. The Android version is ad-supported, with a $1 premium version on both Android & iOS. App Store: Here First Impressions / Review: Here Cure Hunters [Game Size: 207 MB] (free)Genre: Roguelite / Platformer / Retro - Offline Playable Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Some tl;dr review: Cure Hunters is a retro roguelite platformer by Lucky Kat Studios with solid controls, difficulty enemies, and a fun gameplay that makes for a challenging platforming experience where finally finishing a level truly feels rewarding. Between every level, we can spend the coins we've picked up to acquire a new random weapon, recover HP, and buy ammo, and when we eventually die - such as at the insanely difficult bosses at the end of every region - we have to start all over from level 1. There's an interesting roster of heroes with unique weapons that can be unlocked for in-game gold, which is a soft-currency earned in-game that can also be acquired through iAP. Unlocking the most expensive heroes will either require buying one of the $2-$10 iAPs, which also removes all ads shown between levels, or grinding for many many hours, whereas the first 3-4 heroes are realistic to grind. App Store: Here First Impressions / Review: Here Gems of War [Total Game Size: 707 MB] (free)Genre: RPG / Match-3 / Puzzle / Fantasy – Requires Online Access Orientation: Portrait Required Attention: Little tl;dr review: Gems of War is a huge fantasy match-3 RPG puzzle game with strategic troop/deck-building elements where we assemble a team of 4 troops that we take into combat, matching skulls and colored gems on a 8x8 grid board to perform normal attacks and power up special abilities respectively. We win matches by taking out all 4 of the opponent's troops, and in-between the insane amount of singleplayer content we upgrade troops, complete special events and guild missions, and participate in "PvP" where we fight against bots controlling other player's troops. The game's iAPs allows us to acquire stronger units instantly, which makes the PvP Pay-to-Win. I have had a blast with the game's core gameplay though, and as a casual Match-3 RPG I can still easily recommend the game for its singleplayer content. App Store: Here First Impressions / Review: Here Balls Multiplayer [Total Game Size: 216 MB] (free)Genre: Brick Breaker / Arkanoid-like / PvP - Requires Online Access Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Full tl;dr review: A multiplayer brick breaker (Arkanoid-style) that takes me back to my childhood but allows me to beat my friends in real-time matches? Yes, please! Spicing up the gameplay are two new elements; 1) a price in in-game gold that we pay to enter each PvP match, with the winner taking it all, and 2) the fact that we unlock and pick a robot to play as, each of which has 3 abilities that will either give us a boost or toy with the opponent (e.g. freezing the opponent's balls). The game doesn't have enough players for matchmaking, which means we're fighting bots, but the developers thankfully allow us to create rooms and invite our friends for actual online matches, which is where the game truly shines. The iAPs allow us to acquire new robots with different abilities, but since there's no upgrade system and most of the abilities feel well-balanced, this doesn't ruin the gameplay. App Store: Here First Impressions / Review: Here Starlit on Wheels [Game Size: 209 MB] (free)Genre: Racing / Kart - Requires Online Access Orientation: Landscape Required Attention: Full tl;dr review: Starlit On Wheels is a kart racer not too unlike Beach Buggy Racing 2 with campaign levels, online cups, and thousands of user-generated levels from the level editor. The game seems to promise a lot, which was what enticed me to play it, but it fails at the execution. Our vehicles are glued to the track (no Jet Car Stunts 2-like air-time here!), the online cups aren't real-time multiplayer but instead has us attempt to beat other player's best times, and the energy system limits us to 5 campaigns levels and 5 online cup matches before we're forced to either wait, play user-generated levels, or pay up. We're still waiting for a proper Kart racer, Nintendo! wink wink App Store: Here First Impressions / Review: Here Google Sheet of all games I've played so far (searchable and filter-able): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bf0OxtVxrboZqyEh01AxJYUUqHm8tEfh-Lx-SugcrzY/edit?usp=sharing TL;DR Video Summary (with gameplay) of last week's 5 games: https://youtu.be/bMwkJH_xEIY Episode 01 Episode 02 Episode 03 Episode 04 Episode 05 Episode 06 Episode 07 Episode 08 Episode 09 Episode 10 Episode 11 [link] [comments]  | ||

| Looking For Stickman Game ... Draw Him to Victory? Posted: 05 Apr 2019 08:37 AM PDT Hey all! A long, long time ago I downloaded an app where there were you play as a stickman, whose goal is to just reach his goal. He could also jump I believe. You, the player, control him, but you also draw lines for him to cross areas, traverse over obstacles, etc. it was a great time waster! I have a 13hr flight and I have major anxiety and my normal medications just ground me to baseline, no high or fun. I'm also maybe looking for other suggestions. So far, I downloaded Love Balls (where you must draw a line to unite two ball objects) and Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lion (but the beginning of the game is a MASSIVE pain in the arse. I've played this game 10+ times and the controls feel awkward with my big hands. I still did download it though and play through the tutorial, just in-case.) Anyone might have any recommendations on games that can occupy my mind? And, of course my request for that stickman game. Thank you all! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 04 Apr 2019 12:43 PM PDT Hi everyone, Looking for the most fun golf game (not necessarily the most realistic at all). I see Golf clash, golf rival, golf battle etc so wanted to see people's experience. Also not a big fan of games with a super busy menu screen where you can't even figure out where to click to play but I guess that's really common in mobile games now so not a deal breaker. Thanks!

| Stardew Valley save files no longer accessible? Posted: 04 Apr 2019 10:50 AM PDT Today I went into the Files app to copy my latest save of Stardew Valley to iCloud so that I can transfer my game from my iPad to my iPhone and the Stardew Valley folder is no longer showing under 'On My Device'. Does anyone one know if one of the recent updates took this away? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Should I get The Escapists 1 or 2? Posted: 05 Apr 2019 04:36 AM PDT I'd rather not buy both, can you recommend one of the two over the other? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Is plants vs zombies still good? Posted: 04 Apr 2019 07:53 PM PDT | ||
| Idle games with online/ multiplayer aspects Posted: 04 Apr 2019 04:55 PM PDT Any recommendations? I'm trying to find the "best" online idle style game that preferably has a large (Reddit?) community. I'm currently playing Idle Heroes but it doesn't seem all that multiplayer. Thanks!

| Need another hit like terraria while I’m geeked out Posted: 04 Apr 2019 01:33 PM PDT Loved terraria y'all. However the multiplayer resulted in getting super amazing items without farming and stealing all the fun out of it. What's a time sink similar to terraria? Also any recommendations for tower defense games would be great [link] [comments]  | ||
| Forever lost trilogy - What is real and what is not? Posted: 04 Apr 2019 12:14 PM PDT I decided to replay the games (for the 3rd or 4th time) because while I was thinking of the games I realized, that there were a number of things that didn't make sense. As we all know, the main character (Jason) has gone through his self-made "gauntlet" of puzzles several times, and upon completion he takes a pill that leaves him amnesiac, and it starts all over. Upon finishing the 3rd game, it dawned on me, that he was experiencing hallucinations and paranoia because of the pills (I feel stupid for completely missing that the other times i played it), like his wife Alice. So, how much of what we experience is just hallucinations?
There are still somethings I don't understand, however:
I would love here your thoughts on this :) [link] [comments]  |
