The iOS gaming thread

It still shows as 99c in Canada John, even though the description says 'Free for a limited time'.

Probably the time delay. It'll go free free at midnight your time.

My advice is to buy it now. (Joke)

The extremely polished Chimpact has just launched. Made by several friends.

There's a few of us playing at the moment including me, Asura, SaintM and Gosvpg but it's slow progress, haven't even completed the first mission yet and it's been about a week.

I think perhaps it's best played in pairs, even if you don't have all the RPG class-bases covered, as at least that the game should move at a slightly quicker pace.

Nope does not need to be played in pairs, you just need quick players. I have another 4 player games which I am playing with some UGVM members & we are now on mission 6.

Chimpact is quite nice, pretty simple flick a monkey to collect bananas/gems game

I think Sega and Nintendo would like their graphics back though, did they just rip the characters straight out of Monkey Ball and backgrounds from DK ?

Worth buying just because Ste Ruddy worked on it, and he wrote some of the best C64 stuff ever.

Really enjoying Pitfall. I know it's another endless runner but it's done so well and i really like the graphical style.

One of my favourite iOS games, I hope this means they're going to release some more levels soon.

Cheers Do! This is good although I'm currently stuck on level 30 29.

Alien Breed currently down to 69p.

[Dudley]

Hasn't that been out for about 12 seconds?

[toythatkills]

So Cafeteria Nipponica is out, and I know what you're thinking, what the hell's that?

New Kairosoft game. See you tomorrow.

[Fierce Poodle]

Alien Breed currently down to 69p.

Holy shit I assumed this would be some rubbish update but its the Amiga original! With a bunch of extra stuff thrown in too. Can't wait to get stuck into this bad boy...

[Pistol]

Alien Breed currently down to 69p.

Thanks for the heads up - bought the shit out of that!

[owl]

Been loving Alien Breed today, I never played the original before. It's awesome.

Does anyone play Monster Life still? I'm after some neighbors.

Combat Mission: touch is free for a bit.

[Kramer]

Combat Mission: touch is free for a bit.

Just came in to post the same thing. Had it since it came out. Worth a shot if you like very dry strategy games. Bit too fiddly on iPhone but works well on iPad.

new kairosoft game up, universal app for £2.49p

http://toucharcade.com/2012/08/10/kairosoft-releases-new-sim-cafeteria-nipponica-as-a-universal-app/

looks like most of the others which depending on where you stand is either a good or bad thing.

Hero Academy now has The Team Fortress characters as a playable team for those who get the steam version. If anyone fancies a game, my username on there's Wroth.

I've just downloaded one of their other games, Catapult King, which is rather good fun. Its like a 3D angry birds, and is also free.

Some good stuff this week. Been playing Pitfall, Agent Dash and Chimpact a fair bit. All well worth your time (and money).

[ph0rce]

I found Agent Dash to be quite a poor Temple Run clone ( or whichever one came first ) but Pitfall is quite nice although it visible chugs along on my iPhone 4 so god knows what it's like on a 3GS.

[shirubagan]

Thanks for the heads up rumblecat, Dredd Vs Zombies is great fun!

[rumblecat]

Yeah, it really is, I was pleasantly surprised- it's had me hooked for the past few weeks. Hope Rebellion will be doing something else with Dredd to tie in with the movie.

Ichi is currently free, for those wanting a new puzzle game.

Getting annoyed with Pitall now. Too many deaths caused by the game juddering (and this is on an Ipad 3).

New SWYS app out on Thursday!

We've bundled together a few of the Music Canvases (Rock Bands, Musicals, Chart Smashers and 80's Music) and added an EXCLUSIVe new canvas (90's Music).

All the canvases are bundled into the app this time, so no more download woes.

The app's free, with one free canvas, and you can just buy the 90's Canvas if that's the only one you don't have.

There's a few new features we're trying out:

* Built in canvases

* The ability to buy all 5 canvases at a discounted rate

* That ability to unlock all hints with one purchase

* A much requested 'Restore all purchases' feature.

Be really great if Rllmuk could get behind this forum app (It's made by Carleton and myself) and download the app on launch day -

we'd love to get some really good feedback, and y'know, it's free.

Plus the hi-def iPad version looks SWEET.

Cheers!

Cafeteria Nipponica is getting all my iPhone game time right now.

[Cheeko]

I found Agent Dash to be quite a poor Temple Run clone ( or whichever one came first ) but Pitfall is quite nice although it visible chugs along on my iPhone 4 so god knows what it's like on a 3GS.

I picked up Pitfall and Agent Dash, I much prefer Agent Dash, Pitfall is so weird, it feels unfinished and I can only presume they were testing it on PCs or something because there's way too much stuff going on visually for the devices to handle it and it looks like they've maybe had to make some drastic last minute changes to tone it down a bit(I'm not convinced the untextured style of the landscape is how they intended it)

I like Agent Dash though, has a nice polished feel to the visuals which I'm always a sucker for

[scissorkicks]

I was late for work today (and got rumbled) because I was playing 10000000. Absolutely love it, but worried my life will be in tatters soon.
