The iOS gaming thread

[SPE]

I've missed this thread over the last few days.

Not that any of the FAAD or Openfeint free games have been worth commenting on.

[Bushtopher]

I finally bought Flick Kick Football whilst rllmuk was away - and got a top score of 131 Currently top of my friends score so need some more people to add......

Other than that, still enjoying Helsings Fire, and with the release of Risk found out about Lux Dlx 2 which is pretty good.

Dungeon Solitaire was free while the forum was down and that's one of my favourite iPhone games.

[shirubagan]

Are you guys looking at FreeAppAlert (and it's iPad sibling)?

Again, nothing of note from the last three days, but it lists the FAAD games along with everything that has been reduced to £0 at the moment.

What's SA?

Cat Physics has been free though, and it's stunning.

I think this the is thread I've missed the most.

I was at a loss as to where to find free games!

Stick golf is currently free. A simple golf based puzzler. Has openfeint and a few unlockable courses. Very playable, I thought.

Helsing's Fire is good and slick, as everyone says, but the writing's been annoying me. Whoever did it has clearly not read enough Victorian stuff to do that register

[minkee]

Okay, my friend is one half of Johnny Two Shoes, so I am completely biased, don't have an iPhone, and haven't played the game. HOWEVER by all accounts it's bloody brilliant and I still want you all to get it.

Plunderland

I've bought it and played it. It looks lovely and I really, really want to love it, but I find the cannon firing controls a bit too awkward.

Type n Talk is currently free.

Not really a game, more of a Stephen Hawking simulator. I love it but Mrs clunk was sick of hearing it after about 1 demand for tea and hob nobs.

I agree with that, but I read a tweet from the developer saying that an incoming update will address that as well as the camera, so hopefully things will improve.

[hub2]

Plunderland looks amazing, gonna get that tonight. Tell your mate that they NEED to do an iPad version with enhanced graphics once they have the bugs ironed out. Would look awesome, and I assume more playable, on the bigger screen.

[minkee]

I mentioned this to him, and he told me

"all those updates are coming, we're working hard on them now, the cannon thing we agree with too, it's been great to have such good critical feedback

just bought 2 tents for the weekend, popup!"

[minkee]

To be fair I probably didn't need to tell you about the tents

[bimbam]

Cat Physics has been free though, and it's stunning.

Yeah it is, got this last night and ended up playing it all the way through to the last 3 levels in one sitting. Brilliant game that gets really tricky towards the end.

Up to 144 now as well on Flick Kick Football

I'm a bit late to the iPhone party but I'm thinking of developing some sort of cut down version of New Star Soccer for it. Are there any decent top-down 2D footie games out there? You know, Sensible Soccer style?

World Soccer Champs 2010 is a brilliant top-down footie game. Doesn't feel an awful lot like Sensi, though.

[Pistol]

I made a Apple Id Spreadsheet, but it hasn't got everyone - https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Ag...JFZFE&hl=en

Feel free to add your name! I just added a Words with Friends column, as it seems quite popular and has it's own system.

Would it be a good idea to integrate this with the main rllmuk IDs one?

I've added myself to it, anyway.

Cheers that looks pretty good. Time to check out the opposition...

Neo gaf has an equivalent thread, theres also toucharcade.com and pocketgamer.co.uk

[Soi]

Anyone play Arena 9? I'm 9th in the online EXP score table. Great matchmaking system, makes lunch times fly by.

[mindgames]

211 on Flick Kick Football. Probably going to leave it for a while now.

[Darren]

What are the best multiplayer games for linking up with multiple devices? Now we've got an iPad as well as a Touch it seems like we should be playing local link-up rather than passing them to each other.

[davidcotton]

Think theres a darts one where you use the ipad as the board and the ipod as the arrows. Can't remember the name of it though, sorry.

[Sabreman]

Chopper 2 is pretty spiffy.

Excellent. I bought it yesterday and have been enjoying it greatly other than the fact that the cannon seems to default to aim behind you when you first touch it. That it's being addressed is pleasing. Well worth the money, regardless. The visuals make great use of the iPhone 4's display.

[minkee]

they're finishing the update tomorrow morning then sending it off - I don't know how long these things take to filter down to the app store or whereever they're needed, it can't be too long though right?

also they just got a really nice review on some part of ign that i've never seen before. I'm very proud of them.

[toythatkills]

The frankly excellent Cubed Rally Racer is on sale for a bit, 59p. There's a lite to try too but just go straight to the full version, it's amazing.
