LF a Coop Cooking Game I saw on IG

Hi Everyone, hope you can help me find this game I scrolled past on Instagram: it seems to be a coop Cooking game where you and your friends help each other accomplish tasks. Pretty vague I know but keeping my fingers crossed that the Reddit hive mind can help me out.

Thanks in advance, much appreciated!

Looking for asynchronous multiplayer games to play with my brother (Apple Arcade & Netflix access)

Hey everyone! My brother just joined my Apple Family Sharing, so he now has access to Apple Arcade, Netflix, and my App Store purchases. I'm looking for good asynchronous multiplayer games we can play together since we're not always online at the same time.

Looking for game suggestions to obsess over for Christmas break-

Coming up on Christmas break so something to numb my mind for about a month before I’m neck deep in textbooks again. Mostly looking for something that can be played pretty continuously and not something that has energy or something unless it’s quite easy to obtain additional energy and preferably nothing that has never ending ads. I will sometimes spend a few dollars on packs and stuff but not a lot.

I don’t even know how to describe the type of games I like, kind of quest-y but also like collecting/building/levelling heros type stuff. Big fan of adventure-y and tycoon-y games. Also games with like alliances and stuff to meet people/hang out with other people while things are happening in game. Honestly can’t remember what I’ve played most recently, maybe it was Rise of Kings or something?

Idk… help I’m tired of downloading games and playing for 30 minutes and then running out of energy/not finding it engaging enough, etc.

Fun offline game [FREE]

Looking for a fun time sink for my upcoming flight that’ll be about 6 hours each way plus hotel time in a different country. I’m a big PC gamer but will rarely ever play on my phone so i want something free that i can just forget about after the trip.

I’ve played simcity buildit in the past and liked it, fallout shelter, polytopia, stack, flow.

I don’t really have a genre in mind. Balatro doesn’t look like it would interest me. Even though i do like poker. Looking for either a building game, racing or adventure I’d presume. Obv offline is a must. TIA

Any good games without micro-transactions

It feels like every game (or app in general) I find on the App Store has the dreaded “in-app purchases” tag under it. Anyone know of any full games?

Offline addictive game for a long flight?

I’m looking for something to kill time during my flight. Preferably free or cheap. I like simulators, city builders, strategy, RPGs. I don’t like sci-fi and war settings.

[gaming adjacent] I made a "wiki-like" app for Hollow Knight and would love your feedback!

Here are some of the main goals I had in mind:

• Cover the location of key items and all NPCs (including bosses) • Support all 10 languages that the game offers • Add easy-to-use search functionality • Make navigation simple and intuitive

Link to check it out: https://apps.apple.com/app/guide-for-hollow-knight/id1326686758

Future Goals:

• Include more info on things like Colosseum trials, Godhome pantheons, and grub locations • Add more visuals (images or videos) to showcase abilities and boss fights • Dive deeper into lore and details • Allow the community to comment on pages

I just published my first iOS App, a lottery scratch ticket game called Scratch Away!

https://preview.redd.it/tp318rtnb34e1.png?width=3185&format=png&auto=webp&s=b503e668a1b2a9540d0ca9b5d13a492a0ade0da4

Hi everyone,

As the title says, I just added a new game to the App Store for iPhone and iPad called Scratch Away!

It's a lottery scratch ticket simulation game, where you win in-game hearts to use to buy scratch tickets. There are 20 unique tickets in the launch version, including games like Bingo, Crossword, Blackjack, and Poker (plus a few more).

The idea is a buy once, play forever game without any micro transactions or in-app purchases. It seems that most of the lottery games in the App Store are just freemium games with the intention of getting the user to pay as much as they can. So I hope that Scratch Away! can fill a void so people can just play as many scratch tickets as they like without having to pay any more real money. (I also show how much real money you would have lost in the list of game stats).

Game website: https://scratchaway.ca

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/scratch-away/id6738307765

I've been an iOS developer for a number of years working for other companies, but this is the first app I've developed entirely myself. I hope you like it!

[DEV] I have added 8 secret mini games to my game you can only play once! The pressure is on!

My newly updated app "1 Chance" is a collection of 14 mini games which will test your speed, dexterity and logic, but there is a twist. You can only play it once so the pressure is on!

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id1529736678

*14 mini games

*Global Leaderboards

*Secret games (Can you find them all?)

A game that has no retention after a play-through is completely unheard of and I wanted to do something a little different, After doing tons of research I couldn't find a game that was anything like "1 Chance"

I hope you have a much fun playing and aiming for the the top spot of the global leaderboards as I had making the app! Please let me know if you get over 90% (Only 16 people have!)

Share your final scores!

Any questions etc, please feel free to ask! See you on the leaderboards!

Weekly Update 3 on Leon's Mahjong - Against the Current State of Mobile Games

Weekly Update 3: Ups and Downs

Down: I spent a lot of time on the Android port, unfortunately I found out that the touch was not working properly on a Samsung S22 from a friend. After 100 remote tests (He lives in another country!!) I managed to make it work, but I think the UI touch part needs to be rethinked, or rewritten, at least for Android. Anyway, this is not important for this group because it’s mainly about iOS!

Up: On iOS I got my first experiments with the UI Accessibility Plugin (UAP), which needs a lot of polish, but still on the right track!  A link to the video showing this can be found in the comments!

Up: I managed to make a level in portrait mode. My idea is that all boards can be played in any mode, but some boards will be made for portrait and others for landscape, and it will be better and more comfortable to play in the corresponding type. A link to the video showing this can also be found in the comments.

https://preview.redd.it/yqjwwqv5414e1.png?width=970&format=png&auto=webp&s=e1bc9043af6f11eff896cd3da122669fde8bd63d

Down: Unfortunately this morning I also found out that you cannot play with the Apple Pencil, so I would like to fix that too…

So, what is Leon's Mahjong?

Leon’s Mahjong is a beautiful pixel art version of the classic Mahjong solitaire, reminiscent of a bygone era. It’s also my small rebellion against the current state of the mobile game industry.

Here are some timeless features of my game:

  • ⛓️No forced/artificial retention.
  • 🛡️ No data tracking, ever.
  • 📶 No internet connection required.
  • 🚫 No ads—no intrusive videos, nothing at all.
  • 💸 No in-app purchases—this isn’t free-to-play.
  • ⏳💸 Priced like apps and games from 2008.
  • 📱 One purchase gives you access to the game on iPhone, iPad, and Mac—and it can be shared with all members of your iCloud family at no extra cost.
  • 🎁 All future DLCs will be available for free. Three new boards will be released this weekend!
  • 👨‍ Inspired by the games I used to play with my late father back in the ’80s.

This game is not only a tribute to those classic games but also to my late father, who introduced me to them and shared those moments with me. Plus, my son Leon was involved as a sort of “stakeholder.” (Note: Don’t try this at home! 😉)

New Rando'Knights Update!

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well!

I wanted to share with you the recent changes regarding my game, Rando'Knights:

Since my last message here, I changed the game according to suggestions some of you gave me. And I also added a lot of end game content! And I still plan a lot of addition for the future!

For those who don't know, the game is a mix between an incremental and a gacha game, based on collecting and upgrading figurines! So if you like pixel art, gacha and big numbers, you should try it!

Rando'Knight is F2P with an optional premium and Pay2Fast options.

I hope you'll enjoy the game!

🍎 App Store Link

P.S.: This is the trailer of the game if you want to see what it looks like!

Online gaming classics

Quick impossible question for you all. I am looking for a classic style board or card game that we can play with my In-laws. They live ~400 miles from us and my Mother-in-law is rapidly developing dementia. I am looking for a game that we can play as a family across the distance and that would be easy for her to understand. (Hence the ask about classics) My in-laws are not tech savvy though they each have IPads. Because of this, I need to be able to talk my Father-in-law through the set up over FaceTime. He is very tech adverse…so the game needs to be easy for them to understand and navigate.

Thoughts?

Thank you!

Why I can’t recommend Dungeon Clawler

Hello guys, I’ve seen a lot of praise for this game and it’s “difficulty”, so I picked it up. Unfortunately, the opinions couldn’t be further from the truth.

The idea for the game is amazing, but is absolutely let down by its design. By far, the biggest problem this game has is that… the higher difficulty you choose, the easier the game gets. And I’m not even joking.

On the normal difficulty, you only have access to your character charm (which is just what makes them special). And ironically, it’s the hardest the game is. Really, I’m not joking.

After you beat a game with a character on normal difficulty, there are 4 difficulties you can play.

You no longer heal, you get less hp and the hardest one, NIGHTMARE difficulty, you get to play two bosses. Having nightmares from A20 in STS i expected a lot of challenge. And got massively let down.

Double the bosses mean double very strong upgrades. You get ahead of the curve very quickly and the game has no challenge.

Not only that, but the harder the difficulty, the more charms from other characters you can wear. Very weird design choice, again.

I don’t even want to mention some absolutely op items, that can single-handedly win you the game. You literally have items that can give you multiple dodges, no matter if the enemy is attacking for 10 or 10k damage. You get two of them and literally any enemy cannot touch you. And there’s no enemy to punish you for that.

I just feel the devs do not understand what makes rougelikes fun. There’s no progression, like at all, and as I said it’s not even the biggest issue. The biggest issue is the higher difficulty you play, the easier the game gets. Something went very, very wrong in design of the game.

I really can’t recommend the game, even if I really wanted to.

Looking for an old strategy game from the iPhone 3GS age

Hopefully someone can help me identify this game, I played it so much when I was a kid.

So they game is top down view, I think you can play as two different factions, the robots/military or plants. You start of in your home hub and the map is covered in a fog of war, the objective is to destroy the enemy's base I think. You control your units kind of like in Rome Total War, but a unit isn't like a group of 50 people. If you're the robot faction you fight the plant faction, and vice versa.

I still vividly remember what it looks like, it's kind of like a jungle environment. I'm pretty sure the game is removed from the App Store at this point. And this game existed on the iPhone 3GS. Does anyone know what this game could be?

Edit: Now that I'm thinking about it more, I'm pretty sure it's a human faction wearing mech suits.

Name this game…ughh

I can’t recall the name of the card game but always wanted it. I believe it is a solo developer been out for 5+ years. The cards I recall were basic drawings maybe stick figure even. Known to be one of the best cards game on iOS and the developer ended up being hired by a larger company.

Does anyone recall the name?

Does anyone know of any solo player casino apps?

My Grandad asked for a poker/slot/card game app but he is completely averse to entering any card details, and he doesn't want to play with others/be rushed sort of thing. Just something he can pick up and put down whenever.

Thank you

Looking for good looking rpg

Hi all! Is there any rpg or action games on the ios that share same vibes with, you now, Nier Automata or modded Skyrim? Yeah, I’m talking of being able to choose female character, preferably being able to customize (not like in gacha), farm loot and change gears etc. because you know it’s weird how powerful are latest iphones but still lacking of this kind of a games. Ah, and yeah, there are lot of mmo, but looking for something not that demanding on time. For reference closest i could find is Dragon Spear EX, but looks too outdated

Cloud save problem on Dragon Quest 5 (DQV / DQ5)

I got a new phone (16pm) and my old one (11pm) uploads the cloud save with no issues however the new phone keeps giving me a 'connection error' when I try to download the cloud save. Anyone have any solutions? I have all my icloud settings turned on and it can even see the DQ5 save data (about 70kb worth) on the drive but I have no way to access it.
