Anyone without Spaceteam installed on their device(s) or the willingness to evangelise for it, is failing as a gamer.
Also it’s free.
Whatever happened to the Defender Chronicles II sequel that was supposedly in development like 7 or 8 years ago? I mean I’m guessing it’s not coming at this point, just disappointing. DCII was great, as has been mentioned multiple times on the forum. Still haven’t found a game that scratches the same itch after all these years, plus you can’t download it anymore so it’s unavailable for me now.
I’ve been playing a lot of Night of the Full Moon lately.
The mechanics and some of the classes are uncomfortably close to being a clone of Dream Quest, but it adds enough to be engaging on its own right, as well as having actual art and production values.
Each of the eight classes feels pretty distinct, and it’s fun to sculpt their decks over the course of the game. Putting together the right mix of equipment and effects that trigger off one another and cascade into a beautiful juggernaut of ultimate destruction is really compelling. And it borrows Slay the Spire’s ascension mechanic, so each class has 7 progressively harder difficulties to make their way through.
It’s probably a bit too easy – I almost never lost a battle in the first few difficulty levels, and by the end with a well-tuned deck most bosses never posed any threat (and you can always reset to the beginning of a battle on death, so it’s rare that a run is completely hopeless and has to be abandoned. But despite that and some repetitiveness and an iffy translation, I’ve kept playing it for a couple of weeks now.
The IAP are purely one-time purchases to unlock new classes and other content.
I figured out what I was missing: I didn’t realize that the circled numbers indicate consecutive runs of a single color. :P Much better now.
OMG, thanks! I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t find the solution in the simplest puzzles and ended up removing the app in frustration. Much better now :)
Not only that, but if the number lacks a circle then it cannot consist of a consecutive run. This is a key to solving many of the puzzles.
For instance, if a row has exactly one circled number and one uncircled number greater than 1, then the uncircled color must be at both ends of the row (because if the circled color were at either end, then the uncircled color would form a consecutive run).
You know it’s funny, they don’t ever really come out and tell you the circle means consecutive numbers do they? Or if they did then I missed it too, and had to deduce it from playing the levels. Weird decision.
They did in the tutorial you all skipped through, elitists!
Zach Gage’s SpellTower+ is out.
The tutorial that autoplays when you start the game does not tell you this. The tutorial that plays when you click the tutorial button in the settings menu does. I initially assumed that they were the same thing. I have still found a couple of puzzles that don’t have unique solutions, like this one:
There are also a couple of puzzles with questionable color choices (red and reddish pink as separate colors? or white on a white background?) But overall I really like it.
The one you posted got a unique solution.
For the one with dubious colours, you can switch the background’s to make it clearer. It’s a hassle, I concurr.
In that one, if you put the dark brown in the bottom left space, it would create an uninterrupted chain of six. The dark brown six has no circle around it, so you can’t create an uninterrupted chain of six, and therefore the bottom left must be light brown.
Yep, this is a good example where the solution depends on a color lacking a circle.
Neat little puzzle game/ roguelite. Plays like a cross between imbroglio and threes.

I’ve been playing Bleentoro, which is a production game (Factorio-like) from Yiotro, the maker of Anityoy, Achikap, and Vodobanka. It’s got Yiotro’s idiosyncratic aesthetic and the production chains make no sense (apple+ice cube=carrot?), but it’s a pretty well crafted game with tons of content:
SimpleRockets 2 came out a few months ago, and was kind of like Kerbal Space Program for mobile.
With the new update, it’s even more like Kerbal Space Program for mobile.
I am looking for a recommendation.
With so many people isolating over the next few weeks, I was thinking it would be fun to try and keep connected via a shared gaming experience.
Does anyone have a casual but fun game that can be played by a family of people aged 13 to 73?
I’m thinking something like Words With Friends… But open to suggestions. Just something light and social
Jackbox Party Pack!
Careful, wash your screen and your hands before touching it! those things are germoramas.
This is a thing on mobile!?!?
