The iOS gaming thread

[Gloomy Andy]

Yeah, I really regret downloading it. I was only able to knock my tiny tower addiction on the head as I lost my phone and the last backup I had done meant I lost weeks of work on it.

I hope I don’t need to sacrifice another phone for me to get over this latest addiction!

The ray of light is that I am finding the crafting/cooking times to be a bit too long (they could be doing with reducing everything by 50% imo), and thankfully I refuse to do any IAP so this might p*ss me off to the point of deleting it.

Just save up your flooz and upgrade your workshop etc.

The long construction times are what I like about it, if I'm making something that takes 8hrs why bother obsessing over it until its done.

Of course thats not the quickest way to play/level but seriously who gives that much of a shit.

Nah, you'll just start planning your craft times so that items are made overnight, or "accidentally" getting up at 3am to collect something that's ready.

Trust me, I've been there.

Give Letterpress a go people, it's a free word game with asynchronous multiplayer. Really nice, clever idea. It reminds me a bit of Spelltower in style.

I'm Samuel Samuelson on game centre if anybody wants a game.

I never got a comic shop.

It's...it's.......beautiful, me wants

This is really, really good.

[Broker]

Is letterpress iPad only?

im absolutely loving it now that I've figured out how to play

[QuackQuack]

I'm loving Letterpress. Beautiful design.

Add me as Stuart.Grimson

Is letterpress iPad only?

Nope iPhone too!

[Broker]

What am I doing wrong then? I've searched the App Store for letterpress and letter press and no game. Can someone link to it?

[Paulando]

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/letterpress-word-game/id526619424?ls=1&mt=8

It's not in search results yet for some reason. Just downloaded it and it's a stunning little game! Beautiful presentation, and looks like it could be a great little time waster.

[Paulando]

Hmm, I've 'protected' a few tiles and the opponent has managed to change the colour by surrounding them themselves. That's not right, is it?

EDIT: Oh I get it, it's only protected while the surrounding tiles are yours.

[Haribokart]

Behold!

I never got a comic shop.

How the fuck did you get so much money?!

[Davros sock drawer]

By playing it for over two months!

[Haribokart]

Amazing. I have reached the stage now where all I can do is wait for the flooz to slowly build and buy the special items, while the actual coins are spent on upgrading.

It's become fairly arduous, but I can't & won't stop.

[Massive Invisible Dog]

I see RocketCat have been playing Jetpack Joyride.

[rumblecat]

In what way?

Yeah you have to get at the lighter coloured ones to take down the solid ones

[Massive Invisible Dog]

In what way?

In that Punch Quest has the exact same structure as Jetpack Joyride.

I don't think it's very good. They're never going to be able to live up to how amazing Hook Worlds was. I wish they'd update it for the iPhone 5.

[Yoshimax]

Props to whoever mentioned letterpress - it's brilliant.

[Paulando]

Yeah, Letterpress is my new favourite thing - absolutely fantastic stuff. Add me! Paulando, innit.

[StephenM]

Letterpress is amazingly fun.

But it does seem to keep dropping connection and throwing up an error message about it.

[The Bag]

This just popped up on twitter, a He-Man game. Do kids even know who/what He-Man is these days or is this aimed firmly at the nostalgia market?

[ZOK]

Letterpress is forking great!

A great port, deserves more love. I've been working my way through crazy box mode

[ZOK]

Hang on, I'm playing Leyterpress on iPad, game centre on phone is telling me my opponent has played a turn, but the iPad says I'm still awaiting a turn? What's the happs, apps?

[ZOK]

Who is Sam Clinton? I got the invite on my phone, but not iPad. And the game isn't on my phone! This is pretty crappy integration really.

[sammy]

That's me zok - yep the game center integration is the only thing letting this down. I'll start another one
