  • I haven't attended any. :/
    I've been wanting to but I have not seriously set aside the time for the boardgame meetups.
  • Super Hexagon is no good in the iPhone 5 without the update, so I installed the wonky update. After a few rounds I beat my previous record by a second. Then I saw the new update. Bah. Oh well. Game Center still saves my record, so I'm not too upset.
  • Is Hexagoner running choppy after the update for anyone else besides me?

    Yes. This is why I am getting iPhone 5.
  • Super Hexagon runs decently on my 3rd gen iPod touch. It has the occasional hiccup though.
  • Badly Draw Faces is a silly fun game that is cool because it has a narwhal on it. It's something that will last a few days, but it's fun while it lasts.

    It's free, if you don't mind ads.
  • You kids getting your iPhone 5s. I had better seen some Super Hexagon score improvement.

    There is a huge decrease in lag. Doesn't help that I still suck.
  • Fuck yes! Beat Hexagoner finally! The iPhone 5 does help a lot. No lag. Wider screen means my fingers don't cover what I need to see. When you screw up, it feels like you screwed up, and not like you got screwed by the game.
  • Congrats!

    There is nothing worse than having a great run ruined by a finger tap in the non-touch part of the iPhone's face. Much fist-shaking ensues.

    I haven't been playing much since I beat the game but I think I will always come back to this one. I went back after another week away and tried to re-beat Hyper Hexagonest and improved my score since I'm not on the Top 25 leaderboard anymore. I broke 55 seconds four times, two of them over 58 seconds and back to back. Gotta be some sort of mental block! I was able to just laugh it off, but if I hadn't already beaten that difficulty, I probably would have burst a blood vessel.
  • I beat my record with 66 seconds while waiting in the drive thru!

    *Runs off to check Hexagoner score*

    Nope, still ahead of Scott.

  • I really really suck at Hexagonest. The triangle moves faster, so the controls seem slippery compared to the other modes. I keep dying because I moved too far.
  • The lag does seem more noticeable after last update now. I wish I could turn off the music in game which might let the game run smoother. Or maybe I just need get myself the new iPod touch. ;)
  • The Hexagoner music is my favorite. I need to get this OST.

  • Woot! Much love.
  • That music makes even the most mundane daily activities gripping with excitement.

    I read an interview with the creator of Super Hexagon and he brought up a great bit of a design work. They intentionally start the music in a random point every time you die. Otherwise, you'd learn to resent the music, and eventually, the repetitiveness of the game.
  • I resent the music. I play on mute. It should have been Super Meat Boy-style where the music just keeps going after you die.
  • I gave that a lot of thought as well. At first I thought the restarts should have come instantaneously, with no break in the music, but I've found that I play Super Meat Boy and Super Hexagon quite differently. Super Hexagon turned out to be way more nerve-wracking, and I'm afraid of what it'd be like with instant respawn. At least now, my mind has to consciously say "you know you should be taking a break, but you're going to tap that thumb and restart again, aren't you?"
  • That's not really what I meant. There should still be a "tap to restart" screen, but the music doesn't have to stop during that.
  • Aha, I see that now. Small difference of opinion I suppose then. I thought it was a nice tough, but can understand that it'd just as easily aggravate others.
  • Got Alien Frontiers since I liked the board game.

    Something I realized yesterday: you can't gift an app using your iTunes credits. They charge the credit card they have on file, which doesn't make any sense.

    Oh well, I will just continue to have this fairly large balance on my iTunes account for a long long time.

    Any other recommendations for games? I really want the people who made Kingdom Rush to make something else. I really liked that game. Or the new Plants Vs. Zombies needs to come out sooner.

    Have you tried SpellTower? Totally addictive.

  • I will look into that. I tried this sandbox game, Topia. It's pretty interesting. Basic, but I like the graphics. I need to mess around with it more to get a better opinion.
  • Crazy Taxi for iOS is apparently a thing now. If it's a good port control-wise, which is hard to tell either way from reviews right now since it apparently pretty crashy, then I'll be playing that shit constantly.
  • Crazy Taxi loses a LOT when the Offspring soundtrack from the original is omitted, as it was on XBLA.

    The original soundtrack is restored on the iOS version :0)

    What are they charging for it...
  • $5. Not insane, but I would have priced it a dollar or so cheaper. The way Crazy Taxi plays though just lends itself so well to a mobile platform when you just have five minutes to kill.
