Can you play with random opponents on Worms?

Yes. I don't like it myself as the people I get auto matched with are way above my level.

 

[Cornballer]

King of Dragon Pass is a few bucks off, now 7 bucks down from 10.

Hmm.

Thanks for the heads up. I've been meaning to take the plunge on this one for a while, and this gave me an excuse to go for it.

 

[Flunkie]

For me, because it's Worms, played out over a decade ago.

Async though.

Anyone else been playing Nimblequest in their browser? Game is an absolute blast. Can't wait for it to come out. It's being shut down tonight so if you haven't tried it yet, you should. It's linked on the home page of toucharcade.com

I tried it this morning and I had a blast too.
Looking forward it on the AppStore.

Bought the rocket launcher in ridiculous fishing. Can't stop playing.

EA is Happy with Real Racing 3′s Freemium Model

There’s no question that going freemium was the right way to go. The vocal minority lashed out at freemium. We respect them and understand, but the market has spoken. That’s just where things are going.

Fuck off, EA.

 

[toythatkills]

It's possibly quite telling that they rave about download numbers rather than revenue. A free game was always going to be downloaded more times, it doesn't mean anything.

 

[HBP]

I couldn't find a thread for the game but if anyone wants to play a game of Super Stickman Golf 2 send me an invite: kapshin.

Fuck off, EA.

Much to hate about EA these days, but I don't really have much issue with how they implemented stuff in this outside of it running like ass on anything but best stuff. Race a few times. Go do something else. Oddly enough, this is probably one of the more effective 'portable' structured game I've played.

I do kinda feel bored after upgrading up to the max of a few cars though. Add drifting modes or actual mp to spice things up.

 

[HBP]

The normal course multiplayer mode is.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Ouch, this bug withstanding it is a silly but fun game.

Just got this. Rad design but WHERE ARE YOU SOCK????

Yeah, I don't quite get what there is to boast about. My coworker and I are playing and enjoying it, but we haven't spent a dime on the game either. How much money are they making on this Freemium game?

The 60fps on pretty much all iOS devices for Table Top Racing has me playing that way more than RR3. If it ran better, I would invest more time.

Any good tower defense games release in the last 6 months or so?

The last one I played was Kingdom Rush, and I loved that game. Now I'm kind of in the mood for a new one. Anyone got any suggestions?

Just so you know, Kingdom Rush sequel this spring. Looks like they're aiming for April? One of the devs in February:

We are working very hard on this!
The game will have 9 new heroes and we changed the whole hero system , that's all I can say for now.
We will not release this game on June and if everything goes as expected we will not release it on May so do the maths and you will have an approximated date.

How is that? Been hearing mixed things. Does lack of controls make races dull?

On a side note, has there ever been a full controls iOS racing game with mt transmission, handbrakes etc?

 

[Flunkie]

Me and Heel tried the racing mode with two other randoms, though, and it was fun as hell.

Not that I know of. Might be a reason I haven't touched iOS much lately.

I personally really enjoyed Table Top Racing. When it first came out, I remember many people here saying they didn't like, but I don't understand why. I thought controls well, runs smoothly, and looks pretty good.

Block Fortress is pretty good, but I'm not sure how I feel about the grinding for upgrade materials yet.

It's not iOS, but Cursed Treasure 2 is a flash game that is a very solid TD game with the same kind of aesethics as Kingdom Rush. If you liked KR, you will definitely like this one.

It's actually available on iOS and is one of my favorite TD games I was gonna recommend it, but then noticed aesthetic said 'released in last 6 months'. Still though, if you haven't played it, it's excellent.

 

[Aesthet1c]

Awesome thanks for the recommendations guys!

I said the 6 month thing as kind of a general term because I've played a lot of the ones that have been out for a while. Guess I should have been broader, sorry about that!

Cool, hopefully that means they will release the sequel I linked to also!

So how's an iPhone 4 as a gaming device? 4S costs a lot more so it's kinda out of my budget, but seeing my phone broke I might just splurge with a 4.

Tiny Wings is horseshit.

Just starting to show its age with some games. It'll still be more than fine for a while, but for example games like super hexagon will be better on a 4S or above.

Wow super hexagon is that demanding? Well I guess it needs to be 60 fps without dips to actually work well.

So I mostly have a back catalogue of 2008-2012 in terms of releases? I had a regular 3G earlier that kinda chucked along but was fine for a few arcade ports and some score attack games.

I'd love to get some meatier games, how's Lunar on it?

 

[soldat7]

Hey crew, we have set Flick Kick Ireland to free to celebrate St Patrick's Day

Thanks, it's still available.

Any word on making the main game smooth again? It's stuttery on the iPad 3. The update in December was the culprit. There's a bunch of negative reviews that mention the same issues when you sort by "Most Critical"

Playing Ireland is silky smooth, but the main game is not.

 

[toddhunter]

Yeah it is 99% ok, but that 1% where it stops for an instant will get you every time :|

If anything, you could get a iphone 4 and use the savings to get an ipad mini. Best of both worlds then.

Happy Street is awesome! I've been playing Tapped Out for a few months now, but am completely burnt out on it for sooooo many reasons (primarily the fact that they now rub into your face how expensive all of the premium content is and they RELISH in it. Also, $3,000,000 for the escalator to nowhere? Fuck off. Oh, and a St. Patty's day storyline that is IMPOSSIBLE to complete without spending $20 on a fucking wishing well? Fuck you.) Happy Street is such a refreshing breath of fresh air. It's adorable, the sounds are awesome, it's not stindgy with flooz or money, I love it. If anyone wants to be friends, add me! My GC name is eirikist.

Fuck yeah, though, Block Fortress update includes iCloud character level, unlocks, and rare minerals sync!!! These devs know what the fuck is up.

They're happy with anything (SimCity 5).

For some reason, I'm starting to hate this numbers statistic news thing. Heck they did the same thing when reporting SC 5's success lol

My fort so far on level 9.

I get in moods with Happy Street. One week I'm addicted, one week I'm on the verge of deleting it (again) because I find it so tedious. Like crafting a fucking wood plank for example. One stupid wood plank - 5 minutes.

I just craft those in batches when I'm doing something else on my iPad, so I open it for two seconds every five minutes to craft another when I get a notification

It's annoying. You should be able to queue crafts.
