    Help recommending an online game for me and son, please.

    Posted: 11 Mar 2022 10:08 PM PST

    Unfortunately my son and I are, for now, separated in Australia and China. My son is 7 years old and we love playing games together, our favourite game to play together is Polytopia.

    Are there any other similar games or games of other genre that you think would be appropriate for us to play?

    It's so cool that we can FaceTime Each other and enjoy a game while we chat. I'm so thankful for this kind of technology as it keeps our bond going. Haven't seen my little guy for a year :(

    5 Quick tl;dr iOS Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 122)

    Posted: 11 Mar 2022 04:25 AM PST

    Welcome back, my fellow mobile gamers :) These are my weekly mobile gaming recommendations based on the most interesting games I played and that were covered on MiniReview this week :)

    Support these posts (and YouTube content + development of MiniReview) on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/NimbleThor <3

    This episode includes a fun new puzzle dungeon-crawler, a neat adventure runner, a fun arcade side-scroller that reminds me of the "good old games" like Jetpack Joyride, a true classic action/adventure RPG, and an obscure 2D story-driven adventure.

    Disagree with my opinion? Let's have a friendly discussion below.

    New to these posts? Check out the first one from 122 weeks ago here.

    Let's get to the games:

    Dungeons of Dreadrock [Game Size: 172 MB] (Free)

    Genre: Dungeon Crawler / Puzzle / Indie - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review by NimbleThor:

    Dungeons of Dreadrock is a dungeon-crawling action puzzle game where we play as an older sister entering a dangerous cave to save her brother. Her little brother was told by the city elders that he was destined to defeat the darkness looming inside, but we soon learn that there's a much more sinister plan at play and things aren't all as they seem.

    Each dungeon floor is a one-screen level split into squares that we can move up, down, left, and right to travel across. The goal is to reach the stairway leading further down, but to get there, we must deal with locked doors, traps, and enemies that we defeat by bumping into them. Thankfully, we can choose to enable a free help system if we get stuck.

    Where Dungeons of Dreadrock truly shines is in its unique puzzle designs that make the levels all feel as one coherent universe. For example, some levels have us escape a troll hunting us across multiple dungeon floors, while another level has us chase an enemy back to a previous level before we can catch him.

    Accompanying these 100 well-crafted puzzles is a beautiful pixel art-style and a high-quality soundscape. And numerous small details like the sound of running water that changes from only playing on one speaker to playing on both when we stand right in front of it help create a truly immersive experience.

    The controls are definitely the game's biggest downside, and I often ended up unintentionally moving in the wrong direction. Thankfully, there's Bluetooth controller support.

    Dungeons of Dreadrock monetizes through ads occasionally shown between levels, and a single $1.99 iAP to entirely remove them. It's a quality game that really surprised me, and it's well worth checking out for anyone fond of dungeon crawlers or puzzle games.

    Summer Catchers [Total Game Size: 360 MB] ($3.99)

    Genre: Runner / Adventure - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review by AlexSem:

    Summer Catchers is a story-driven endless runner in which we travel through beautiful pixel-art landscapes, collecting mushrooms, avoiding obstacles, and solving various quests in the process.

    After taking hold of an old wooden scooter, we start our adventure towards the sunny sea. The path is long and deadly, and along the way we'll face different obstacles, such as snowdrifts, ice spikes, high hills, wooden posts, and many others.

    To overcome these obstacles, we use the tools in our bag, such as the bumper that crashes barriers, tires that jump over pits, rockets that provide a boost, and so on. Failing to use the appropriate tool in time makes our vehicle take damage and eventually crash, forcing us to start over. The tools are also all consumables, so before starting a ride, we should visit the shop to stock up on them by spending mushrooms gathered through gameplay.

    Throughout our journey, we progress the story by completing quests that have us cut down dead trees, fight parasitic bugs, fertilize the soil, and much more – each of which requires a specific tool to get the job done. Successfully completing groups of quests initiates a boss battle where we have to run away from a powerful creature for a long period of time and need to endure the entire sequence without crashing. Those are the most intense parts of this otherwise relaxing game, and they might frustrate some casual players, just like the repetitiveness holds the game back a bit.

    Summer Catchers is a $3.99 premium game without ads or iAPs. It features nice pixel graphics, beautiful art, soothing music, and although it may not appeal to a wide audience, it is a well-made arcade game perfectly fit for a casual mobile experience.

    Ninja Chowdown [Game Size: 196 MB] (Free)

    Genre: Arcade / Runner / Side-scroller - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review by NimbleThor:

    Ninja Chowdown is a fun arcade side-scrolling runner about a chubby donut-loving Ninja that has been sent out to catch the thief that stole a precious ingredient from the donut shop he works at.

    The game features a level-based structure with a boss fight every six levels. During these missions, our character automatically runs while we then tap the left side of the screen to jump or double jump, and the right side to throw shurikens. We can even tap and hold the right side to enter a neat slow-mo mode and aim our shuriken in any direction. This comes in handy when the enemies soon enough don't only attack from the front, but also from behind our character.

    There are a bunch of fun and unique enemies, like pigeons, samurais, and bomb-throwing ninjas on bikes, and the order in which these enemies and obstacles appear is randomly generated, guaranteeing that no replay feels exactly the same.

    It's a fairly difficult game, but apart from the many humorous cosmetics purchased with gold earned through gameplay, there's nothing to upgrade. So we just simply have to become good at the game, which is honestly refreshing.

    The cute visual style looks great and is highly polished. However, the running animation alternates between running and walking, which means we continuously move fast, then slow for a bit, then fast again. This is part of what intentionally makes the game difficult, but I didn't personally like it.

    Ninja Chowdown monetizes through a few incentivized ads, and frequent ads shown between deaths that can be removed through a single $2.99 iAP. It's a throwback to simpler times in the world of mobile gaming and is absolutely worth a play for any arcade fan.

    Oceanhorn [Game Size: 290 MB] ($7.99)

    Genre: RPG / Action / Adventure - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review by AlexSem:

    Oceanhorn is a beautiful 3D RPG action-adventure game heavily inspired by the famous Legend of Zelda series.

    We play as a young boy on a dangerous quest to find his lost father and defeat a powerful mechanical beast. On this journey, we travel by boat to visit a number of islands, help locals in need, explore dungeons and ruins, find valuable loot, learn new skills and spells, solve various mechanical puzzles, and fight a large variety of angry monsters.

    Killing bosses and accomplishing quests reward us with new useful items, such as arrows used to shoot enemies from a distance, bombs that can blow up passages, and boots that let us jump across gaps. Most locations can't be entirely completed when we first discover them, forcing us instead to revisit once we've acquired the appropriate tools and items that let us progress further.

    The game demonstrates outstanding visual and audio quality, providing an impressive experience even by today's standards. Locations and objects are highly detailed, monsters behave naturally, the combat effects look amazing, and there's a full day and night cycle.

    While the game supports external controllers, the touch controls are smooth and comfortable, only showing a few issues during fishing sequences. Although the game isn't as long and complex as some other open-world RPGs, it's a rare gem of a mobile game that provides up to 15 hours of captivating gameplay.

    Ocenhorn is a $7.99 premium game - a price that is more than fair for a game this well-made. If you still haven't played it yet, definitely go give it a try.

    farewell planet [Game Size: 104 MB] ($3.99)

    Genre: Adventure / Story-Driven - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Some

    tl;dr review by Yousef:

    Farewell Planet is an obscure and heartbreaking 2D adventure game where we borrow the bodies of other villagers to grant them their last wishes.

    The game takes place in a desolate world once inhabited by machines, where we are the only remaining survivor. Using our special ability to take over a machine's soul and access its memories, our objective is to fulfill each machine's last wish and then lead them to their final resting place – the "point of farewell" – at the bottom of an ocean.

    Most of the wishes involve going back and forth around the village to pick up various objects. Some will love this aspect, but if you'd like to get through the missions faster, there's thankfully also an option to turn on map markers that point us to the next objective. Other than that, the game doesn't provide much help, which means it takes a while to get the gist of how to properly navigate and use the UI.

    With each machine comes a unique backstory, a nostalgic memory, and a melancholic soundtrack specifically tailored to it. The game manages to perfectly complement this tense atmosphere with industrial-like pixel art and an impressive attention to detail.

    The primary downside is that the gameplay quickly feels like a walking simulator, although all this walking is, thankfully, made enticing by a great story.

    Farewell Planet sells for $3.99, with no ads or iAPs. Especially for players interested in a story about grief and acceptance, the game provides a wonderful and unique experience.

    You stumble across an old abandoned IPhone. You pick it up and rub the cracked screen. Suddenly, a Genie materializes amid lights and sounds like a pull in a gatcha game. He introduces himself as a “Dev Genie” and offers to create an iOS game just for you. Please describe your perfect game wish!

    Move save file to a device with a different apple account?

    Posted: 11 Mar 2022 09:32 AM PST

    I have an Iphone for playing games on, my wife has an iphone, and we share an Ipad Mini. The Ipad Mini is tied to her apple account and since we can only have it attached to one account my saves obviously don't show up.

    I'm playing Fantasian and I have somewhere around 20 hours in the game on the Iphone which is not something I intend on re-doing. Is there any way possible that I can get my save from my Iphone to the Ipad?

    Is there any ios emulator for Gameboy that lets me move the on screen controls?

    Posted: 10 Mar 2022 10:17 PM PST

    I use a giant tablet and often have it on my chest when I'm laying down. All of these emulators have the controls at the bottom of the screen, but it would be much easier for me if they were up near the top. Is there anything that does this? I know provenance used to, until it started causing issues. I am unsure about Delta, as it doesn't work on my iPad for some reason.

    Just found out Journey is on the App Store and it costs £1.79

    Posted: 10 Mar 2022 01:53 PM PST

    The title pretty much says it all. I played Journey a while back on PC but never finished it, so I think I will download and play it on my iPad. It is an amazing game, gorgeous graphics and really well executed overal. I strongly recommend it to anyone who hasn't played it. I haven;t tried it yet so not sure if it's a good port, will edit this post after I play for a while

    I'm looking at mobile joysticks for my Ipad Pro 10.5", and would like to know others experience with them.

    Posted: 10 Mar 2022 02:41 PM PST

    There isn't really a lot of options for gaming controllers on an Ipad. I pretty much use this thing exclusively while laying down, so I can't really just connect a controller that isn't attached to it. I'm pretty good at using digital buttons, but often times the movement is a bit jank. Recently, I saw a joystick in a store that was only $5, and I tried it out. It did not work even slightly. It was clearly designed for a small phone, and it was disappointing. Then I saw one by Vakili on Amazon, that just sticks to the screen; and I wondered, well why shouldn't this be able to work? I'd like to be able to use it with steam link or something, but I'm not sure if this stuff could even cut it. My tablet is old and I need to upgrade it eventually, so I'm not necessarily looking to get a controller that's switch style, since it would only be able to connect to this device and nothing else, but I want to know if anyone has tried stuff like this, and what their experience was.

    Games like Cities Skyline other than Theotown

    Posted: 10 Mar 2022 08:47 AM PST

    I love Cities Skyline on my PC but need same type of game on iPad. I tried my best to love the Theotown. But it feels like its not for me, idk why. Please suggest games like cities skyline where we can zone areas and not plop buildings like SimCity or similar to SimCity games.
