I've been really enjoying Dungeon Raid myself. Really kinda discovering the different playable classes and races, neatly done matching type game.

Been playing it, but calling this "Sim Tower Light" would be like calling Mafia Wars "GTA Light". It's something to do for about 10-15 minutes a day, but it's not an engaging game like Game Dev Story...

Raiders Army · 06-27-2011, 10:33 PM

IStrategia is a good Stratego game. I can't figure out how to change the options but it's fun so far

Man I must have ran that course 100 times, and hoped that my 1/1000th of a second lead would hold up.

I LOL'd when I saw the 1/1000th difference in our scores this morning. Took me about 10 more runs to get back into first... Fun game!!

I was able to best you... for now.

I think the key today is landing that last big jump correctly....

FrogMan · 06-29-2011, 12:00 PM

just did a crazy 16.030 time on today's run after almost convincing myself I would never eve win another day.

This game and the running against your ghost thing has a way of frustrating you to no end. You know how you get acquainted with the run, then are getting away from your ghost only to miss the last critical jump and land to a standstill, going ARRRRRRGGGGG!!!

I see there are now 7 Heroz on the FOFC league, no clue who Wam13 and Missy6376 are though. Come on, show yourselves

playing:
FrogMan = QCFROGMAN
PadresFan104 = LEADFOOT4
lordscarlet = LORDSCARLET
Marmel = MARKPG23
Glengoyne = GLENGOYNE18
?? = WAM13
?? = MISSY6376

They release one new course through which you try to run as fast as possible with the hero of the day. Currently on day 22, they say they will release 1000 of these Heroz and you only have 24 hours to record your time on any given course. Usual time for a track is between 16 and 24 seconds and you can try again and again, and again some more...

Once in the game, you enter FOFC as your custom league and you can compare your time to other FOFCers...

Glengoyne · 06-29-2011, 02:16 PM

Man that 16.030 is amazing. I couldn't break the 17 second "barrier". Making smooth landings is key. I once made a hugely perfect jump and landing on the last jump to land on the final downslope and go across the line very fast. Unfortunately I'd botched some earlier landings so that didn't even measure up. I just couldn't string it all together, like the folks posting 15s and 16s are able to do.

yeah, for me that was as perfect a run as I think I could have done. Everything went so smooth and I landed that last jump too, which is where I usually crapped out

Took me a long while before even breaking the 18 second barrier though...

FrogMan = QCFROGMAN
PadresFan104 = LEADFOOT4
lordscarlet = LORDSCARLET

Some people are working on an app I "created" based off Mafia Wars. It'll be free to the open public and you'll receive tangible products once you reach certain levels in the game. I want it to be completed within the next two months for the Android and iOS platforms. We'll see if they can do it.
