Project 83113 is fun, though I hate virtual joysticks for these types of games. Very well done, though. I'd play it more if I could put Pocket Planes down.

I can't explain why Tiny Tower and Pocket Planes is so addicting, especially because if you remove the cutesy veneer it's just a bunch of calculations, but it's a fun diversion.

In a similar vein, I saw that Kairosoft released an RPG simulator, Dungeon Village, a few weeks ago (and I completely missed that they also released Epic Astro Story the month before). Anyone try it? I usually wait for sales on these, but I love all of their games.

I too love the Kairosoft games and also am guilty of waiting until they hit $.99.

Sure, except that it doesn't have virtual joysticks.

Pinball Arcade will be free starting tomorrow for a week.

Ah, you're right, it uses swipe mechanisms. I couldn't quite remember why I had trouble controlling the little four armed pink thing.

Other things I've downloaded recently:

Avenger is free, it looks like a Castlevania rip off, and I'm always wary of the ones with broken English, but hey, worth a try, right?

ZDay Survial simulator (Universal version and a special ipad 3 HD one) are free, basically a zombie Choose Your Own Adventure Game.

Tower of Fortune is a slot machine themed rpg, though so far I like Kings Cashing better

Mok

Lost Winds is free

Been enjoying Where's My Water but it is killing my iPad battery. Is this happening to anybody else?

msdmoney

Maybe you are just playing it too much?

I haven't noticed any difference, but I'm not really paying attention to whether it drains the battery more than any other game. I've played a ton of it though, I'm addicted to this type of formula and tri-ducking every level, I also was addicted to Cut the Rope until I got three stars on everything.

So anyone still playing Pocket Planes?

Finally gave it a go this weekend and I'm hooked. I know everyone here also visits CAG, so you can join the CAG Flight Crew. #15 in the world right now.

(And I'm still working on my tower, even though it's maxed out. When they release new floors, I will be cash flush so I can build them all at once!)

fujishig

They need to change the way this is implemented, IMHO. Right now, you might as well jump aboard the number 1 flight crew (I think it's toucharcade) if you want the loot, which makes them even stronger and more likely to win.

Michael Corvin

True. Maybe limit it to game center friends.

I'm still on PP, and pretty entrenched in South America so I'm making a move into Central America as a bridge to the US. I might bypass Mexico and just go Cuba to FLA. Still learning as I go...

That's good thinking. I'm close to maxed out (wedding chapel, cineplex, book store, and film studio to go), but I thought I might keep it going. I have 276 of 290 working their dream jobs, but even when I get the rest of my floors and presumably accommodate the rest of those folks, I have some low workers I want to replace.

From NeoGAF:

Fuck. I picked the wrong day to leave the iPad in the office.

DVDChris

That's pretty cool. From what I've read it has iCade support

pinata242

Yes. In fact, they advertise it directly as their first key feature (not that it isn't free for everyone): http://www.ionaudio.com/products/details/icade/

edstein

Thanks, that's a great find.

davidh777

Thanks for the Atari tip. Got the basic game and a bunch of the in-app games.

JasonF

If you like Tiny Tower, check out No Zombies. It's pretty much a horizontal version of Tiny Tower (Tiny Town, as it were) with the added gameplay of zombies that keep showing up at your town gate.

edstein

Good Deal: 'Call of Cthulhu' for iPhone / iPad is free for today*only.

Michael Corvin

Anyone else check out Where's My Perry? Its Phineas & Ferb take on Where's My Water. I haven't tried it but the kids seem to like it.
