Tried Max Payne Mobile and was super disappointed.
First of all, setting up the MFI controller was annoying. Secondly, the game does not seem to be a good fit for the small screen/high resolution of my Iphone 6. I can barely see the crosshair (no option to change that) and/or anything else.

Really disappointed in this purchase as I wanted to finish the game for the first time. Back in the days I only played it for the bullet time wow factor.

Finally got around to play Powerhover a bit after asa was so nice to gift me a key some time ago, thanks again.

Played it without a controller because I was on the plane and unfortunately I did not feel it so far. I guess my main complaint are the controls.
I get that they feel that way because you are controlling a hoverboard but it is just not for me. I might try it again with my controller later on.

Played a bit more with a controller. Still not feeling the game but the controls feel a bit better now.
The music and camera angles ad a nice touch to the game though.

I can't imagine playing these games with a smaller screen than an iPad 9" personally. I didn't have any problems setting up my MFi controller though.

You had to change several options to get it playable like you would when you usually use a controller (free aim, aiming+walking at the same time,...) and then they missed customizable control layouts :/

I love handheld gaming and think 4,7" is enough. Unfortunately, this game was not setup for my screen. I guess the resolution is too high for such a small screen and the game does not adjust for that.

Stickman Golf 3 is a lot of fun. It's essentially more of the same, but more polished and with some interesting additions. While I was hesitant to see that card mechanic, it's actually pretty solid and you unlock stuff at a nice rate. The cards add some meaningful customization, different perks and such. First hat I got gives a me a preview of my shot, very useful

Yeah, the game is literally more courses with a few QOL changes. Fun for sure. I may even pay the $3 for no ads and DLC.

Wondering if I should install it. Never had a public beta and I fear it is really bugged. But I absolutely would love to test the new Music app, since I hate the current one. Any impressions?

I am always concerned about the major releases, say from 9.x.x to 10, and compatibility issues. I generally wait on them for fear of losing functionality.

Avoid it for now. New music app is worse than the old one imo.

Steam reviews for Guild of Dungeoneering seem to be mixed. Have you played the game Badass? If you have, what do you think of the game?

Human Resource Machine is great, but it has a few issues.

- The level description shouldn't be within the source code panel. It occupies valuable vertical space. They should either move it to the top left corner or make it possible to fold/hide it.
- Scrolling is a bit cumbersome. You have to be careful to not touch any of the commands, else you will drag them instead of scrolling the panel.
- When undoing, unless the command to undo is visible at the moment, you have no idea what exactly you're undoing.
- Is there no way to redo?
- It's possible to copy-paste the entire program, but unless I'm missing something you can't copy-paste parts of the program.

This game totally warrants an OT, I think. Would be cool to share some algorithms and tips for optimizations.

Neo Turf Masters is amazing y'all.

Any other recommendations for a simple, hassle free golf game with no shitty mobile mechanics?

I'd say Super Stickman Golf 3. Free with a $2.99 premium upgrade. Fun puzzly courses and mechanics refined over three games, and a satisfying drip-feed of new unlocks

So... GameCenter in iOS 10 is... cumbersome...

There is no app for it
You cant delete unwanted games
You cant check what your friends are playing
You cant sent invites outside your phone contacts
You cant delete friends
You cant add new friends
Invites are though Messages app

Roll back to iOS9 incoming...

Do we know what happened to the iPad port of The Witness? I haven't seen anything from Blow since the PS4 and PC release after the PS4 patch.

Edit: found this video from 2013 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXuPKOy_PXU and this page on the site - http://the-witness.net/news/about/ (months after that)


Also I believe Fez was supposed to come to iOS as well.

This was a tweet from early in the year
We are looking for a serious programmer to handle the bulk of the iOS port of The Witness. If interested, post on the Witness blog

So it's likely been quietly in development. I'll probably reach out and ask about this weekend

Wonder if we will see it by the end of the year. It is game of the year material for me. Also finally got around to playing imbroglio so good. Starting to play perchang as well.
