Solomon's Keep and Solomon's Boneyard are free on iOS at the moment, too, so get them. They're great!

Apart from when the hammer boss traps you in a corner and kills you, so if you continue you get instakilled each time you restart as you can't get out the corner.

Brilliant design there devs! :belm:

I've finished another iOS game ( I love that they are so short, I can actually complete some games)

Guardian Saga this time - 8 bit rpg, usual story evil beings to kick the shit & find some crystals to save the world but good to revisit some old-school gaming.
Next I'm going to play the sequel to one of my favourite iOS games - Sword & Poker 2

Did you win the big (2,000k) single races that get added after you win F1? My super car whizzed through the first, but never got into the top 4 in the second, wondered what I'd missed. Third play through I've kept the car they gave me after the super car and a fully-specced engine, but it's slow going. A little too slow, in fact, but good enough entertainment for the cash. Think that's it with this style of games, though - they do get repetitive.

I won the first one, but not the second, and, since then, I've not been too bothered to try over.

When you restart you should come back in through the door..?

When I click continue after dying, it just drops me straight back in the corner with boss?

Grim... · **Posted:** Mon Sep 26, 2011 13:24

Er, huh.
Did you use your magic key and that's where you re-entered the level?

Trooper · **Joined:** 4th Mar, 2010 **Posts:** 22391

Nope, didn't use the key, just entered the level via the level door, fought boss, jumped out of level door next to boss as I was about to die, popped back through door after healing myself and got trapped in the corner closest to the door.

Grim... · **Posted:** Mon Sep 26, 2011 15:46

Bah, sounds like a bug then. Do you have time to use your magic key to get out?

Trooper · **Joined:** 4th Mar, 2010 **Posts:** 22391

Sure, but the door appears the other side of the boss that I'm trapped behind

Grim... · **Posted:** Mon Sep 26, 2011 16:54

Kick him in, then

Trooper · **Joined:** 4th Mar, 2010 **Posts:** 22391

Tricky for two reasons.

Reason 1, two hit kill as soon as I spawn, I don't even last a full second.

Reason 2, I deleted the bloody game 2 days ago

Grim... · **Posted:** Mon Sep 26, 2011 17:21

What? No, sir, t'was just bad luck. Give it another try. It's aces.

gospvg · **Joined:** 7th Nov, 2008 **Posts:** 2306

Sword & Poker 2 is brilliant.
If you not played either of the games go get them now !!

Curiosity · **Posted:** Wed Sep 28, 2011 14:03

The hammer boss didn't even get near me. I fireballed his ass to death.

Solomon's Keep is good fun; excellent value for free! How many levels are there, I wonder?

Solomon's Boneyard, however, is a bit shit.

The answer is:

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!

12, then the boss.

Lots of replay value, too.

Solomon's Boneyard is ace. But it's brutal and requires perseverance.

What's your high score, Grim...?

Dunno, it's on the iPad. Not huge - time was around 35 minutes.

I find the ice guy to be the best, but getting the balance between mana regeneration and damage as you level up is tricky.

The ice guy is definitely the best, especially when you upgrade to a 120° cone. I managed to find an epic ring yesterday, giving me +100% mana regen, which was awesome.

I get slaughtered at around 2200 points every time, though. Shit be overwhelming.

I now have the Solomon games, and I look forward to playing them once I free myself from the intoxicating embrace of Quarrel.

It's not on my app store

Edit: Weird, it's on the itunes app store on the desktop, but searching for it on the ipad doesn't come up with anything?

Some things don't seem to be indexed in the iTunes search very quickly. Google+ took ages, and Find My Friends did today as well. Best bet is to find a direct link or use your computer, or just wait until it appears.

Saw it at an EA event in London and, well, it looked pretty awful, yes.

I would like to recommend Extraction to you as it looks like a "gritty" cannon fodder with zombies and incredibly elegant controls. (universal and reduced to 69p)

I would like to recommend Major Mayhem to you as it looks like a brilliant cartoony operation wolf/virtual cop game designed around a touch screen. (universal and reduced to 69p)

But I can't because all the time I've had with the iPad has been spent playing King Cashing: a One arm bandit crossed with an RPG that the developer was inspired to make after first creating it in Game Dev Story. It's currently free. It barely meets the criteria for a game and you should defiantly, definitely play it. http://www.kingcashing.com/

(oh and before you worry the Dev has said no to in app payments).

EDIT: I'm enjoying the defiantly/definitely typo there. So do that.
