I 've got Groove Coaster but haven't really played it since I got sucked into this challenge. Doodlejump might be a good one, since I'm sure everyone has that game. And thanks for mentioning Parsec Dash, I just grabbed it. It looks pretty cool!

If we are discussing the next challenge, I'd like to suggest 180, and FlickKick Football.

Good shout. Also worth looking at:snack said:
ORBITAL, Cubed Rally Racer, Bit Pilot and Zookeeper.

Problem with Tilt to Live (HD) is that to access GC leaderboards you're forced to go thru the GC app itself, it would be maddening for yours truly 
Anyway, I just played Groove Coaster, I don't see why we couldn't use the Normal Highscore leaderboard, I think it'd work pretty well considering the fact that having 16 tracks means not getting bored of the game by day4 of the contest.
Doodle Jump... Aren't you guys sick of that one? Just asking. Wouldn't be better choosing the charming Pac n' Jump then?

There's no weekly leaderboard in Groove Coaster, it's just the combined total of all your highest scores of all time, so it doesn't really work in the weekly challenge format.Dash Kappei said:
Doodle Jump's better for me because I own it and I don't have Pac n' Jump. I'm probably not gonna buy games especially to partake in these challenges and I'm probably not alone, so stuff that's been available for free or that tons of people already have will be most popular I reckon.

Now to find out how the fuck it was possible to have all my GAF's GC friends listed as profiles instead of real names! :O
Seriously, how the hell did I do that?! Anyway, this makes today's leaderboards even more awesome

I swear, if you do a Mad Skills MX challenge before I'm able to get my hands on an iPad, I'm going to lose my mind
Well...assuming they add GC support!

Oh, didn't notice that about GC, bummer, and the reason for picking that one was exactly because 89 people on mytoythatkills said:
Gaf's friends list own the game.
Obviously, not everyone can own the same games so of course sometime's gonna happen that you're either going to be left out and wait for the next contest or have to buy the game... i don't see why not, as long as the game's cheap (app<$2) and good, we did that with cananbalt and the same was true for Mr. Ninja.
Pac n jump was just an idea, we can scratch that

Oh yeah, I don't mind missing a few weeks! Just saying that free games and the ones that loads of people own already will be the ones that get the most people playing - I'll certainly pick up some $1 stuff if it's stuff I was on the fence over so I can join in, Pac n' Jump just wasn't one of those!Dash Kappei said:Obviously, not everyone can own the same games so of course sometime's gonna happen that you're either going to be left out and wait for the next contest or have to buy the game... i don't see why not, as long as the game's cheap (>$2) and good, we did that with cananbalt and the same was true for Mr. Ninja.

One day I will have you bankrupted via game recommendations =Pmeppi said:My god! I had no idea there was a Zookeeper game on iOS!
Bought Zookeeper DX seconds ago!
I'll just ask to work some overtime then.toythatkills said:
They tend to do quite a bit of weekend work as well, but I haven't stooped that low....yet.
Edit: Just looked up those other games as well, and damn me if I'm not gonna buy them as well. lol
But I'll hold off a week or two so that I have something to look forward to when my second 2 week vacation comes up.

Yeah, Parsec is really neat (and still free I guess?), I love its space invaders extreme meets arkanoid gameplay mix!dynamite Ringo Matsuri said:
What do you guys know about Bit Trip Blitz? It's a freemium (full unlock for $0.99) and universal but I haven't got it yet since I have bit trip hd (ipad only) already and I'm on 3g atm (download is 40mb iirc). Does the freemium include a full "world" with GC leaderbords?
'cause bit trip beat is fucking amazing.

Ahah, I hear you GC! But to be fair, imo MSMX is better on iPhone, controls are still a bit awkard on iPad! But hey, if they do add game center...

Ahah, I'd love doing that but we obviously can't unless we're ok circle jerking the 5 of us I guessJoe Molotov said:Almost broke 300,000. This game is addictive.

To be fair, I wanted to make one for Parsec but my only problem with it is that it might take to much time for a full game trying to set an highscore. People seem to want to play this contests mostly on the loo or at the office

Download Bit. Trip Blitz (freemium, universal) on appstore
Seriously, this game is awesome (a cult on wiiware). Full game unlock is $0.99 (you also have another big level pack as iap if you're hooked with it, and the game's worth it but big enough without DLC content). It's a freemium with non-obtrusive ads (which go away with the full game of course), think of it as a demo, it gives a clear-cut idea of the game to see if it's worth your money for the unlock.
You guys let me know if you like it, I'd really love to use it for the contest I think it's perfect for that. I love it so much that I've bought two times (fucking Bamco) since the HD version wasn't universal... I wish the money would have all gone to Gaijin Games because those guys deserve every cent, fabulous work.

I really like this game but I always have this feeling that I want to murder someone after playing it. Nothing drives me more crazy then having a perfect run up until the star power or whatever it's called runs out and I miss a single enemy.

Drag Tag SMASH has gone free
Grab it, it could be the right game for the next challenge, props to Majik for making me notice!
Edit: yeah, no. Takes fucking forever to have a go, even my first try was 10 minutes long and at the end I had to suicide 'cause I couldn't take it anymore

What games are you considering right now? I think Fruit Ninja would be perfect, even if it's an oldie. But that just means more people will be able to participate
Fruit Ninja actually had some new things added to it recently, like pomegranate that you have to slash like crazy when it appears
The overall leaderboard is full of scores that are so high I have to think they are cheating (the same can be said for many other iOS games I guess...)

The problem with Fruit Ninja could be that it has separate SD and HD apps.Wario64 said:
Do you guys know if they share the same leaderboards? I dunno how to find out since I only have the Lite HD version.
Anyway, I'll take my current list it down to a short list of names (probably four or five) taking in all the suggestions, and then I'll give you guys a couple of days to vote.
So far the list looks like:
Tiny Wings (distance covered)
Doodle Jump
Flick Kick Football (time attack)
Mr. AaHH!!
Solipskier
Zookeeper DX
Zombie Gunship
Bit. Trip Beat Blitz
Hard Lines (time attack or survival)

I don't think any seperate apps can share GC leaderboards.
Here's another suggestion: Sunny Day Sky. Super simple, but fun. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sunny-day-sky/id412796186?mt=8
commish said:Honestly, I'd rather have newer games than oldies. Some people have been playing FN for a year. As for more ppl being able to do it, I'm pretty sure most ppl can swing 99 cents forva new game
I agree with this. Much prefer getting hold of a new game then going back to an oldie

Bummer, I didn't know that. :/Ninjagorilla said:
SDS doesn't have Game Center tho.
I think Hard Lines would be pretty damn cool, but are people gonna buy it? Cause I have only 5 out of 180 friends with the game, at the moment.
Doodle Jump
Hard Lines
Bit. Trip Beat Blitz
Tiny Wings
Could be the final list (2 newish and 2 oldie) to choose/vote from, but I'm still taking suggestions
Of course the problem might be that so few have played the two new ones (and thus not knowing how cool those games are) it's going to be a no contest when voting starts :/
