Hero Academy!
Hah, similar thing happened to me. And I have no freaking clue. Umm, it says how in another quest but I can't find where it's talking about.
In other news, Vector (I'm playing the free version) is an excellent runner. I'm as tired as the runners as everyone else, but the animations (it's a parkour-based game) make it awesome.
Also, I bought Backflip Madness last night. Haven't put it down since. It's so addicting and frustrating at the same time. Glad it has a free mode for practice, though. Great, great, great game.
Question on this, does it have matchmaking multiplayer? Like if I want to play online it can just put me into a match with some one random without having to set up a game?

Dream league has a much, much better passing system and allows for more diverse play but fifa's graphics and licenses are very nice.

Ascension by Playdek is a good one if she's dorky enough to play these kinds of card games.

Added to the OP:
A musical flight simulator, if you're into weird offerings then this should be right up your alley. This was perfect for me to relax with after 'crunch week'.
Watch the trailer.
Does this one have iCade support, anyone know?

Are Blazing Souls Accelate and Journey to Hell any good?

I beat all the challenges in Sonic Dash, after spending about 10 red coins in total I was left with 20~something, can't earn any more red coins for free thus can not unlock any other characters without paying for red coins.
lol. The base price for that game should not be there.

So I've been playing Liberation Maiden and I don't see why people seem to think it's so bad. I'm having a blast playing on easy, it kind of feels like Sin & Punishment with more animu thrown in (which may turn some people off). I'm glad it was added to the OP .
.Sounds kind of bad :/. Good thing I held off buying it.

For those who like their isometric twin stick shooters, I just noticed the second entry of the fun Robokill series has hit the app store, guess it's been there a little while now (not universal, but iPad version is currently free). I played through the entire first game, and it was enjoyable. You can sample Robokill 2 on a PC for free too if you don't have an iPad. Lots of weapon upgrades which visually fill the screen with bullets in all sorts of different ways. Also lots of ways to die (simplest and most common being falling off the edge to your death)! Unfortunately, there's a few IAP items available, but my hunch is they're just to make things easy, I can't see the normal weapons not being up to the task, since it's a game of reflexes and cover in the end, and knowing how to move around your enemies... plus the normal arsenal of weapons is quite deadly already.

It's a fun game but it's the same story with sonic jump, pay up front but treat the game as a freemium, it's sonic so it sells and I can't really blame them, but it's annoying.
Is this any good? Why so expensive?

Thanks.
I dunno, I almost impulse bought it but I decided to look it up and it seems it isn't very good:

As for why it is expensive, I don't know. Japanese developers seem to have no issue with charging more money for their mobile games than your average one if they believe their efforts justify the price tag, Square Enix is known for doing this, this game does too as do a lot of others like Sorcerian for iOS or Steins;Gate.

If you're ok to play with someone who hasn't played it since the first on the Amiga...
edit: damn I have 400MB free but it won't dl?!
Gonna do it tomorrow then
Woot.
Also, Walking Dead is pretty cool. Like the style. It's a bit hard to play "strategically" on the phone, so I end up just moving my whole group places. But it's still cool. Makes me want to go download the comics.

Guys, help me out here, I want a fast, level based casual puzzler akin to Cut The Rope or Trainyard to have in my phone but I ABSOLUTELY despise "loose physics" games like Angry Birds, Bad Piggies or Where's My Water in which many times you fail despite using a "correct solution" (you guys know what I mean here, right?).
So what say ye? I've tried Geared, it's ok but it gets old fast, what else is there?

Really well implemented, lots of activity on the iOS Board Game thread too.
(Also Stone Age, Penny Arcade Card Game, Ticket To Ride Pocket, Lost Cities)

Hah, yeah, mine are about 700k and it's even worse since I buy them in pairs so I need bloody loads of coins. I think I have about fifteen different upgrades to build as well and I can't afford them :lol

Hmmmm I completed the game....which boos are you referring to? Level 11?
The mechanical robot you put back together and have to dodge once it comes back to life. I've literally died about 15 times on it,

Ah ok
As soon as you place the last piece, run away!!!
After the first run, the robot will run to you only when you electrify your bug...so be prepared and...use his power against the walls

Swing King looks and plays good. You pick up stars Cut The Rope style with an improved Angry Birds control scheme. The only knock is that the puzzles aren't very complex, but neither is 95% of Cut The Rope.

Aw, ok. Thanks for the help!

Can someone link when it does?
I held off updating this and stopped playing when they released that update that broke some stuff (including game saves?).
Do you know if the latest version is fine?

I was really enjoying the game until I got the trap gate bug.
The game wants me to fight 7 trap gate enemies but the location had no such guy.
I thought this was a known bug and they haven't fixed it. This was back in December!
It's too bad because I was really enjoying it.

I was sure he only ran at you when you got close enough! So I was foolishly getting way too close to dodge

Yeah I haven't started my turn cause I realized I'm waaaay more terrible that I though, I wouldn't have fun atm.
Trying to do the campaign to learn, sucks there's no tutorial or anything... I mean I even had to try weapon one vy one going by the icons since it doesn't tell me shit!
Also ubernewbz question: apparently it's the CPU who decides which worm I'm taking control in each turn?
I can't choose, swap or even know in advance which one is it going to be?
Gimme some tips goddamnit I bought the game cause of you
Yup. Seems to work pretty well too. No problems finding games so far.
