    [DEV] [GS] The Game that I recently released is now in TOP New Free Games in Play Market!

    Posted: 28 May 2021 02:17 AM PDT

    This sub feels abandoned.

    Posted: 28 May 2021 07:12 AM PDT

    Sorry for any mistakes, English is not my native language.

    This sub has about 220k members, but it's feels dead.

    Idk if it's because of the moderation or not, the top upvoted posts are mostly funny/bad ads, reviews etc.

    The "what are you playing" thread is really helpful, but the rest of the sub seems off

    I mostly see dev promotions and other things that are very unintresting

    IMO.

    3 Quick Tl;Dr Android Game Reviews / Recommendations (Episode 175)

    Posted: 28 May 2021 04:55 AM PDT

    Welcome back, fellow Android gamers, to my weekly roundup of mobile game recommendations based on the most interesting mobile games I played last week. Hope you'll enjoy it :)

    This week's episode includes an offline-playable RPG card battler, a new Mario Kart alternative with real-time multiplayer AND private matches, and a unique indie Volleyball game!

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

    New to these posts? Check out the first one from 175 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:

    Daring Dungeoneer [Game Size: 180 MB] (free)

    Genre: RPG / Card Battler - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Portrait

    Required Attention: Some

    tl;dr review:

    Daring Dungeoneer is a unique RPG card battler where we fight our way through campaign levels that each consist of 12 randomly shuffled cards that include treasure chests, monsters, and campfires at which we recover HP.

    Combat against monster cards is turn-based and relies on our core attack and HP stats, which are defined by the loot we equip. Combat itself happens automatically, so our objective is to constantly decide between flipping the next card or fleeing with the loot we've acquired. If we die, we don't get to keep any loot, but if we make it through the deck, we can risk our loot and XP to play again with increased difficulty and 25% extra rewards. The fun lies in figuring out the exact optimal time to flee before losing everything.

    Between levels, we can upgrade our loot in town, and buy permanent power-ups that increase our gold and XP gain.

    Since we simply tap to flip cards, the main game-mode gets slightly repetitive after a while, which is the game's main downside. After level ten has been completed, however, a fun endless mode unlocks that feels deeper and more engaging than the main campaign levels. The game is rather grindy, but finding new gear is fun, and I strongly suggest playing until you unlock the endless mode.

    Daring Dungeoneer monetizes through occasional forced ads, a one-time $4.99 iAP to remove these, iAPs for a premium currency used to progress faster and unlock new card designs, and a $2.99 monthly subscription that removes ads and provides a bunch of gold and premium currency. With a bit of grinding, the game can relatively easily be completed for free, so the monetization doesn't have a big impact on the free-to-play experience.

    Boom Karts [Total Game Size: 305 MB] (free)

    Genre: Racing / Action / Mario Kart-like - Requires Online Access

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review:

    Boom Karts is a fun single- and multiplayer kart racer by Hill Climb Racing developer Fingersoft that plays like a Mario Kart Tour alternative.

    In true Mario Kart style, boxes with consumable power-ups are spread throughout each map, which we activate to slow down our enemies or get a quick boost. All nine maps also have hidden shortcuts and traps that help create an entertaining gameplay experience.

    The game features real-time multiplayer matches, an adventure singleplayer mode, and even custom servers that we can set up and freely customize to play with our friends. For every match won, we're rewarded with a lootbox that includes gold and vehicle parts that we can equip to increase the speed, acceleration, boost, and handling stats of our kart. Each part can be leveled up and we also unlock new vehicles as we progress.

    The controls are surprisingly well-calibrated, making properly maneuvering our kart and drifting to gain a speed boost easier than in most other kart racers on mobile. The art-style is nothing out of the ordinary, which allows the game to run on even low-end devices.

    Although the Boom Karts is entertaining and the matchmaking relatively fast, the game currently lacks a casual, non-competitive, game mode for when the singleplayer adventure has been completed.

    Boom Karts monetizes through incentivized ads for extra loot boxes, rare forced ads, and iAPs for a premium currency used to get gold and loot boxes. This means paying players have a strong pay-to-progress-faster advantage in the real-time multiplayer mode. The game is perfect to play with friends in custom server rooms, however.

    The Spike - Volleyball Story [Game Size: 177 MB] (free)

    Genre: Volleyball / Sports / Action - Offline Playable

    Orientation: Landscape

    Required Attention: Full

    tl;dr review:

    The Spike is a challenging and unique 2D indie volleyball game with a story-based campaign, a single-player tournament mode, and lots of cosmetics to unlock.

    The core gameplay loop has us play the campaign mode until our opponents become too difficult, at which point we can play quick training matches to earn gold used to improve the stats of our players. These training matches also help us get better at serving, receiving, blocking, and spiking so we have an easier time completing the campaign.

    Since we need to perfectly time our every move and jump to execute a good spike, the game is incredibly skill-based. This also means the controls initially feel almost impossibly difficult. Fortunately, the game lets us enable a setting that makes our character automatically run and jump, so that we only have to time our blocks and spikes. Once we've become good at that, we can turn off the auto mode for a more challenging experience.

    The art-style and UI is average, and the wonky camera movement and wacky animations may be a turn-off for some players. Hopefully, these issues and the occasional glitches will be addressed through updates over time since the game is still very new and under active development.

    The Spike monetizes by showing a forced ad after every match, which feels somewhat aggressive since the matches are very short. On the bright side, buying any of the premium currency iAPs that start at $4.99 removes all ads. The premium currency can be spent on buying cosmetics or gold to train our players faster.

    The game is fun and shows promise but needs more polish to become a great experience.

    Anyone else waiting for a game that they pre-registered for about a million years ago?

    Posted: 28 May 2021 02:30 PM PDT

    We all know the Play store is terrible but seriously I've been pre-registered to this game for two freaking years I think. It's always on the up-and-coming list and it just makes me mad to look at it at this point.

    Android games without virtual gamepads

    Android games without virtual gamepads

    Dandara: Trials of Fear

    I'm interested in mobile games that have interesting controls but without the need for those [often] obnoxious virtual buttons taking up space at the bottom half of the screen. I understand that sometimes it can't be avoided, especially if there's a lot of depth to the game's mechanics and you need those buttons to be there in order to perform certain abilities, but I personally prefer more streamlined, simple mechanics that can still offer a lot of variety--something that seems like it was made for mobile and not in spite of it, if that makes sense.

    I felt Suzy Cube did this pretty well, too. The entire left half of the screen you can drag around to move and the right side you can tap for jumping. No "buttons" required.

    [REQUEST] A faster paced incremental game that won't make wait a few hours for increasing just one level.

    Posted: 28 May 2021 03:08 AM PDT

    A lot of incremental games look very fun in the beginning and end up as tedious 10 mins later and make you wait hours before next couple upgrades, this easily makes me lose interest. I haven't played a single incremental game for longer than three days, the wait in these games makes the fun of incrementing disappear in these games. So please suggest me an incremental game that doesn't have these things and is rather faster paced and easy to upgrade and would actually give you the feeling that you are incrementing.

    Does the passtrhough in controllers like Gamesir X2 or Razer Kishi work with USB-C headphones?

    Posted: 28 May 2021 05:09 AM PDT

    Title. I want the 0 latency experience both controls and audio wise, so bluetooth is overall out of the question.

    Those of you who played Evoland 2.....

    Posted: 28 May 2021 02:53 AM PDT

    How did you beat the game with these bad touch controls ? Theres a 2d level where you have to do a lot of jumping and the timing is so bad. I wanna pull my hair out its so difficult.

    Theres an endless runner level where I just fall to my death over and over again. I really want to complete this game but I dont use controllers so it looks like Im screwed.
