The iOS gaming thread

[Gotters]

just had my first level in bad pigs where the physics weren't consistent, its about halfway thru the flying levels and it looked like my plane should have worked, let it go again and second time was perfect.

shame as these games really need consistent physics.

its still brilliant tho and one of my all time fave ios games.

[vanronk]

So, i've played alot of IOS games. Is there anything really that touches jetpack joyride in terms of being addictive/replayable? I've genuinely found nothing that touches it!

Thoughts?

Rayman is really good, and has great replay value in trying to 100% each level.

I wouldn't have recommended it a while ago, but Super Hexagon can take over your life once you "get" it.

[Mr Do 71]

Mos Speedrun!

[JDubYes]

Everyone be careful updating Super Hexagon - the text in the update now says that it'll wipe your scores, but that an 'urgent fix' is being worked on.

Now glad I actually checked what the updates were today (even if my scores are pretty terrible)...

I can confirm that it does exactly that, although it keeps your high scores in Game Centre - regardless, I now need to unlock everything again. Annoying.

LostWinds is free again.

Finally got round to playing this. Like it, although a bit fiddly on an ipod touch.

Has anyone tried that game featured on the App Store, Tentacles : Enter The Dolphin? It had good reviews so I gave it a punt and it's been good fun so far.

Thank god I didn't update! The patch has been patched now so all is good.

From Julian Rignall's Twitter - Sega rebooting Zaxxon for iOS:

At first I was really confused about this. Rebooting such an old game but making it completely different makes no real sense when you could make it a new franchise.

Then I realised it was Sega, that they can't actually sell a new franchise and instead have to ruin existing ones for everyone.

Bad Piggies is great. I can't see myself hunting every star out, but I'm really enjoying just playing through each level.

[hub2]

I want Viewpoint on iOS,

Really disappointed with Zaxxon.

Is anybody playing the latest update to Aliens Versus Humans? It's UFO: Enemy Unknown on your phone now. Base-building, research, the lot.

[SM47]

Well, there's no intercepting UFOs. The alien bastards beam to the surface to wreak alien-y havoc. So not exactly the same. But pretty much the same.

[Phelan]

How long till Baldur's Gate?

[Flub]

End of November isn't it?

[Petrousgyre]

Thank god I didn't update! The patch has been patched now so all is good.

Happily the new update had restored my scores. Your scores are absurd by the way.

The iControlPad2 kickstarter has almost reached its goal!

Angry Birds Star Wars November 8th. I feel strangely aroused.

[MagicalDrop]

I need more Wordfeud opponents! If anyone would like another player on their list, please add me: magicaldrop

Cheers!

Has anyone played Forever Lost? It looks rather good from the screenshots and reviews:

Is this an update for Angry Birds Space, or something new?

[Looper]

New I think.

I really love Bad Piggies but I've already got the majority of the stars. Would love some more levels.

i so can't wait for this. Hopefully they'll get the final bit of backing and get it out asap.

I filled out the feedback form. My favourite levels are the flying ones & also the ones that you can complete using simple designs such as the "Pig-Pod" (a simple 2-wheeled bike) or variations thereof such as adding extra wheels.

I've played it. Not to bad. If you're after a puzzle game I loved The Room. Just right level of difficulty.

It's looking like it'll be 100% funded today!

[joeplus]

Burrito Bison is out, not sure how recently. If you like those flash games where you have to launch a thing as far as possible, getting upgrades and that along the way, this is pretty much the best one. I like it.

It's a great idea, but that design... The positioning of those analogue nubs is absolutely horrific.
