    3 Quick Tl;Dr Android Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 154)

    Posted: 11 Dec 2020 04:26 AM PST

    Welcome back to this weekly tradition of documenting my week of mobile gaming :) These are the most interesting games I played this week.

    This week, including one of the best physics-based puzzle games I've played this year, an open-world Maple Story inspired 2D MMORPG unlike anything I've ever played before, and a follow-up to one of mobile gaming's earliest huge successes.

    Disagree with my opinion? Let's have a friendly discussion below.

    New to these posts? Check out the first one from 154 weeks ago here.

    The games are "ranked" somewhat subjectively from best to worst, so take the ranking for what it is.

    Let's get to the games:

    Legends of Idleon [Game Size: 119 MB] (free)

    Genre: MMORPG / 2D / Idle / Indie / Side-scrolling - Requires Online Access

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Little (mostly idle)

    tl;dr review:

    Legends of Idleon is a unique open-world indie idle MMORPG with resource collection, crafting, loot, humorous NPCs, and a level-design and combat system that draws inspiration from Maple Story's platform-based 2D world.

    Arguably the game's most unique feature is that we can control up to six characters at once, fully customizing each with unique stats and classes. This means we can turn one character into the best possible miner, while another specializes in woodcutting or Mage combat.

    While we manually play one character at a time, the others continue working on the latest task we set them out to do, which is where the idle part of the gameplay comes in. Bank slots are shared across characters, but inventory slots are somewhat limited, so it's important to micromanage each character and store or sell the loot it continuously acquires. Ironically, despite the idle aspects, playing Legends of Idleon provides a much more engaging experience than all the modern "auto-gameplay" MMORPGs that populate the mobile market.

    Legends of Idleon's many gameplay systems provide a lot of depth but may also take some time to learn. Likewise, quests only give the bare minimum information required to complete them, forcing us to manually explore the world and learn by doing – something that is rarely seen in mobile MMORPGs.

    The game monetizes through relatively inexpensive $1.99 to $19.99 iAPs that allow us to progress faster, acquire extra inventory and bank slots, and buy cosmetics that have bonus stats. Since there is no PvP content, however, free players are never impacted by paying players.

    Early Worm [Game Size: 157 MB] (free)

    Genre: Puzzle / Platformer / Physics-based / Indie - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Portrait

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review:

    Early Worm is a fun and colorful physics-based platform puzzler by Power Hover indie developer Oddrok.

    Playing as a worm, our goal is to get to an apple at the end of each one-screen level by swiping and releasing to flick our worm character in any direction. Depending on how few moves we use, we can achieve between 1 and 3 stars in each level.

    The 80 well-designed levels introduce a great variety of platforming and puzzle-solving elements like glue, moving objects, rotating rooms, and more, that make each level feel like a unique experience. Combined with pleasant animations, a polished art-style, and simplistic UI, it creates a fantastic indie puzzler.

    Early Worm monetizes by showing ads between some levels, which can be removed through a single $1.99 iAP.

    Fruit Ninja 2 [Total Game Size: 448 MB] (free)

    Genre: Arcade / Action - Requires Online Access

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review:

    Fruit Ninja 2 reimagines one of mobile gaming's earliest massive action arcade successes, Fruit Ninja, by introducing multiple new game modes, quests, events, and even real-time multiplayer.

    The core gameplay remains the same across all game-modes and hasn't deviated from the predecessor; slice as many fruits that fly onto the screen as possible without hitting the bombs. New to Fruit Ninja 2, however, is the entire progression system that allows us to unlock blades with different stats, and power-ups that we trigger during combat.

    The game looks better than ever, and everything from the sound effects to the UI and art-style is highly polished. The real-time multiplayer league system lets us play versus friends or random opponents to improve our ranking and receive rewards at the end of every season. PvP is especially hectic and challenging because we see both our and the opponent's fruit at the same time, but must only hit our own.

    Fruit Ninja 2 monetizes through a $14.99 3-month battle pass, a few incentivized ads, and iAPs for an xp doubler, new powerups, and a few other items. The monetization does not impact the single-player experience, but paying players have a pay-to-progress-faster advantage in the PvP league system.

    It's clear that Fruit Ninja 2 has adopted both modern gameplay, progression, and monetization systems, but its single-player and friends-PvP still provide a fun blast to the past.

    Help me!!!

    Posted: 11 Dec 2020 01:26 PM PST

    I'm looking for a game I used to play years ago but I've forgotten what it's called! You're in a fishing boat and drop your hook into the water, it goes down as far as it can then on your way back up you have to collect as many fish as you can. I really want to play it again but can't remember what it's called.

    [REQUEST] List of cross-play / cross-platform games on Android with other platforms/consoles

    Posted: 11 Dec 2020 07:20 AM PST

    Basically looking for games like Legends of Runeterra, Fortnite, Brawlhalla, Among Us, Hearthstone, Genshin, Arena of Valor, Vainglory, etc that I can play with friends on other platforms (PC, Consoles, iOS/Android).

    I already know the obvious ones like the ones I've named in the beginning but am I missing any others?

    I'd prefer games that require little to no barrier of entry. Genshin Impact has you farm to Adventure Rank 16 before you can play with friends while the others have no requirements.

    Accessibility Services block controllers Android 11

    Posted: 11 Dec 2020 10:47 AM PST

    If you have Android 11, currently bluetooth and USB controllers won't work in-game if you have certain kinds of Accessibility Services enabled. They are working on a fix.

    In the meantime, here is a Tasker task that will make note of your current Accessibility Services settings, then turn them off and back on again when you connect/disconnect a controller. Obviously it requires the Tasker app to be on your phone, and it also uses a plugin called SecureTask.

    [REQUEST] Android/Cross platform "words with friends" that's ad-free?

    Posted: 11 Dec 2020 05:59 AM PST

    I'm looking for a web game I can play with my gf who really enjoys scrabble. I have an Android and she has an iphone. Back in the day words with friends was great, but now it seems to be ruined with ads. Are there any cross-platform "scrabble" games that are ad free?

    Cat Simulator by Swift Apps LLC

    Posted: 11 Dec 2020 01:37 AM PST

    I need some help. I've been trying to download and install two apps: Cat Simulator, and Dog Simulator. The developer is Swift Apps LLC. The issue is, when I go to download it on the Google play store, it won't. It simply will not let me. I've tried everything they have in the FAQ so far, and I've gotten nowhere. I've even joined the beta program, and nothing.

    Old 2.5D platformer/runner game?

    Posted: 10 Dec 2020 01:11 PM PST

    A few years ago, I wanna say like 10 years ago, I played this 2.5D game where you run automatically I think and tap to jump. I think you played as a female and could change the skin and I think you have like a robot companion or something. I think there were 3D special stages as well but I'm not sure. Does anyone know this game? I can't find it anywhere

    Game suggestions

    Posted: 10 Dec 2020 03:48 PM PST

    I have started my YT Channel and have more than 70 videos right now. I am thinking to completely focus on it and add more content. Basically add more number of gameplay walkthroughs of different games, and different types of games.

    Suggest some gameplay walkthroughs of games which you personally would watch on youtube...

    And I was thinking that not many people post RolePlayingGame series like many pc/console channels do.

    If I plan to do Role playing games like TheWolfAmongUs, Darkness rises, Genshin Impact, life is strange etc... Would it be better to post parts of one game and complete the game, or simultaneously play 2/3 games and keep posting videos of each game daily?

    Do suggest! I won't promote my channel here, as that's not what I am here for! Anyone who likes this idea and wants to have a look private message me I'll pass the link :)
