But so many free games. Ugh.

Seriously. I visit this thread for the first time in months, see all the praise Threes is getting, download it, and now I'm hooked. Highest score right now around 7300.

Threes shouldn't make you sign your name if you're not setting a top 10 score.
That is pretty much my only complaint.

Ragdoll wrestling game Wrestle Jump went free https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wrestle-jump/id573992498?mt=8
That happens to my sister as well, who has an iPhone 5c, and she always complain about it. It doesn't happen on my iPhone 5s or my 4th gen iPad, though.
iOS GAF, add me for some Threes leaderboards action. Just did my first 384, so happy! My ID is GuilhermeGWX, as in the GAF membership list.

It shouldn't. It happened to me the first couple of times I played but since then it hasn't.
Eh, at least it's not telling you exactly what number the tile will be, or where they're going to come out. I think the balance of defined mechanics and randomness is what helps keep the game fresh.
In before the 99 cent unlock to know where your next tile will be.

Dungeonism or 868-Hack?
I can't remember, sorry! But can I get one?
I think you put it in an (/email) bracket or something, no?
Yeah, it is with the email= code... Use brackets! Can always test it and then update the post with the codes to make sure it works.

Ok, got it to work. Quote this post to see the codes and reply saying which one you took.
I took the first, thanks! Starts with TA7.

Grabbed the third one, thanks!
Thanks, grabbed the second one.
Well someone redeemed the remaining quotes without letting know
Why the European Starbucks doesn't do the promotions like this
Don't like the sound of that. I think I'll keep the original without updating.

Yeah someone redeemed the other codes already.
European Starbucks do similar app promotions in my experience, I've always seen app cads on the counters when I go there (not that often).
Dungelot 2 is up [Free]. I see that they've changed the art style and added A LOT of stuff on top of the core game. It's much more ambitious than the first but it's too early to tell if the additions make it a better game. I'm definitely weary of all the unlocks and in-game currencies.

That's fair, I think it'll only make the game better.

I'll try to get more Machinarium codes today.

Almost broke the 4K barrier in Threes. Felt good.
Same here. Doesn't break the game. Great implementation in my opinion.

Makes it more of a game and less about chance. I am all for it!

From reading impressions at TA, it sounds like it took a turn for the worse. I downloaded it, but haven't tried it, but the impressions are very damning. Gold seemingly is earned at a snails pace with or without the IAP timer removal. A lot of the charm from the first (animations, class distinctions, etc) is gone. Strategy elements are non-existant. Leaderboards are a joke since you can buy revival items to continue runs and score higher. Persistent upgrades are nerfed/missing, the best way to play is just buy a bunch of one-time enhancements and run with them, then repeat. There's some sort of forging system that requires premium items to use. Skills need to be equipped after unlocked, and you can only equip 1? It's very easy to use premium items accidentally that cost real money without any confirmation. Some of the dialog/menus are not translated, and there are plenty of bugs in the game still.
All in all, sounds like a huge mess unfortunately. Maybe a few patches in things will look better. The biggest problem sounds to be balancing the game so it feels like there's some strategy to it again. Right now impressions sound like you basically just run through floors til you run out of health, get 100-200 gold, then spend 100-200 on repairs, then repeat until you have 2500 gold to unlock something boring.
Definitely a sad thing to read, given the premise/shell of the game could easily be extremely fun and expanded quite a bit from the original.
It's sad, indeed.
Before the final patch, Dungelot felt like it was one good sequel away from being a classic mobile game. Just retain that familiar but fresh formula, polish it as much as possible and expand on both the core and meta games without compromising the simplicity of it. The developer's claims of the F2P elements being completely removable with an IAP were promising, but I'm not surprised to hear it's not that simple. I still need to give the game a fair shake, but I had a bad feeling as soon as I booted up and say that typical, cluttered F2P UI littered with currencies, stamina systems, unlocks and store links.

Yeah, that's the thing that bothers me the most in late game so that's definitely good news. It's a small change and doesn't make the game easier, just less about chance. Here's hoping the update also removes the need to sign your name after every score.
Could someone pick up a code for Machinarium for me? Would be greatly appreciated! The closest Starbucks is in Dublin I think and I don't even know if they do these vouchers here...
I bought this game long time ago on a computer but never got to finish it...
Just saw this, thank you, that would be great!

That reminds me, I still have no idea what the "Conserve Battery" option is supposed to do.

Got a bunch of codes today. Will post them later since I'm too busy right now.
Weird, it's pretty clear now that you mentioned it but I didn't notice it at all when I checked the option on the first day. I guess maybe because I'm always moving the pieces super slowly or because I didn't play it much with the option turned off. Guess I'll just leave it on to save battery.

i wuz jus gonna ask this!!
You don't flop the pig silly, you floop it
TA Plays Live: Card Wars - Adventure Time
Looks pretty fun, but it is a paid game with all of the standard free-to-play trappings (hearts, coins, timers, gems). Disappointing.

My bad, clearly a Card Wars noob. Watching videos of this on Youtube and it seems pretty awesome. The only problem is I'm seeing a lot of standard free to play trappings, like energy and premium currency. This wouldn't bother me that much, but the game is $3. Otherwise it looks pretty good.
Worth every cent!
