Auto Battler for IOS

Hi.

I’ve recently gotten into Skill Legends Royale its an auto battler game on steam and I was wondering is there any good autobattler games for IOS? Maybe something similar to game I mentioned or Backpack battles?

I know Teamfight Tactics exists but that is more team oriented.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

EDIT: preferably PvP

Pro/comfortable mounting setup for touch control only games?

How do pro clash royale players or squad buster streamers or any other mobile game streamers setup their iPads or iPhones to play? It often looks to me that they aren’t look down at a table where the phone or iPad could be. But if they had a mount for it where it was at head level, then their arms would have to be up all the time. How are these streamers setting up their iPhone or iPad comfortably to play for hours on games with touch-only and no controller support? Trying to make my setup more comfortable without craning my neck down to look at a phone but also not having to hold up my arms for hours to get the screen to head and eye level like I have with pc gaming and a monitor Mount. For games without controller support. Video out adapter? What else could yall think of?

Bug exterminator game on iPhone 4

I can’t remember it’s a bug shooting game where you stand on top of a building while giant things like spider attack the building bellow, the build get on fire if you can’t stop the bug but you can shot the water hydrant to put out the fire acting as a health source.

Iirc the ending is you chilling on a beach after eradicated the bug but as the camera pan a spider jump on to the lens.

Games like Dysmantle

I love the gameplay loop in Dysmantle. I like it even with idle aspects like in Idle Breaker (just hate their intrusive ads). Can you recommend any other games that will scratch that itch?

Anti-Hack, I made a hyper-nice puzzle game about solving computer logic puzzles

If you've ever wanted to master binary logic, defrag a hard drive disk, complete a chip circuit, memorize RAM deletion patterns, or solve CPU equations then you're probably a massive nerd and should play Anti-Hack, a puzzle game solo dev'd by a massive nerd.

TWEWY Solo Remix on iOS in 2024

I bought The World Ends With You Solo Remix MANY years ago for iOS, but never played it. I know it was delisted, but I’m still able to download it. My question is, has anyone had any luck playing it through fairly recently? It starts up fine, but I’d hate to get well into the game only to find out I can’t finish it. Thanks!

CellSplit - survival 2D arcade game (an open source clone of Agar.io)

CellSplit is a multiplayer game where you play as a cell that can grow and attack other cells.

You can attack by splitting in the direction of the victim but beware that it will make you more vulnerable from other players who would like to do the same to you. There are various strategies how to survive and thrive in a hostile environment of everyone wanting to eat each other.

It is an open source clone of Agario game. The main feature is a strong support for moderation to solve the problem with teamers and griefers that plague the original game.

You can play directly in the browser. To install add it to home screen from the share menu.

Visit the CellSplit homepage for more details. You can also join our Discord server.

Breeding collection games like Dragon City?

Hi. I love the aspect of Dragon City, but the money hungry devs ruin it for me. I’ve tried many other apps, some good some bad (DragonVale, Dragon Mania Legends, and more) but I want to discover others that I havent found out about yet. So, please, drop them in the replies, and I’ll be sure to check all of them out.

What do you mean with roguelike?

As someone who played Rogue, Nethack and ADoM back in the day, I get confused with all the games called roguelike. What do you mean with roguelike? What is the rogue-element?

Letterlike, a roguelike word game (some say it's like scrabble meets balatro). I've got codes to give out!

Hi all - I commented on a new games post in this subreddit and got a lot of requests for codes, but I unfortunately ran out!

I'm following up now to say that I was able to get more codes this morning! So please DM me or comment below if you are interested. If you had messaged me before, I will be sending you your codes first so you will have priority.

I also wanted to say thank you for the overwhelming support for Letterlike! I cannot believe it, but we actually got to #2 on the App Store charts for paid word games (only behind Heads Up)!! I seriously could not have ever expected that.

Here is a link where you can play the demo:

https://playletterlike.com/

The game on the App Store is available here:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/letterlike/id6737422986

If interested, some future updates include:

  • Accessibility: I have been working on making the game more accessible (I'm sorry to those having issues). I am super grateful for the folks that reached out to me and highlighted some things to fix! Please do not hesitate to reach out to me about any issue at all as I really would love Letterlike to be available for everyone! The last update (live now) should have those changes to make things smoother.
  • Sound and Music: I'm planning to add some sounds and music to the game. I typically play all my games on silent so I missed this but I think it can add a really nice touch with some sound.
  • Dark Mode: I plan on implementing dark mode soon.
  • More Items and Bosses: Of course, the plan was to always had more items and bosses. And of course, any of these updates will always be made available for free without any in-app purchases!
  • No ads or IAP: Letterlike will be ad-free and without any in-app purchases.
  • Languages: I have been asked if I plan to release the game in different languages. I don't know how feasible that would be, but I am considering it. But that would be way down the road.

Again, I have a lot of codes right now let DM me or comment below.

Edit: I still have codes left but I may have to step away to take my son to soccer practice in like 20 minutes. I will respond to everyone though! Thank you!

Edit2: I forgot about my soccer edit haha I did come back and I have been around sending out more codes, but unfortunately I am out now! I am going to try to get more and everyone who commented below and/or messaged me will be first in line (I sorted by Old so the first ones to comment will be first for the next batch as well)!

Edit3: Amazingly, user /u/Covnnic has made a Letterlike Community Reddit Page that I'd thought I'd mention here! As I mentioned below his comment, I was considering starting an official subreddit but I think that community subreddits are better because people can freely criticize and critique the game. To be honest though, I will probably take a peek every so often heh (or if someone pings me there). But just to get a temperature of what's working and what's not to tweak / fix the game.

GTA San Andreas on M1 iPad Pro

I want to play GTA SA on my M1 iPad Pro but I have seen that there are a few ways you can do this

  1. App Store version £8.99
  2. App Store Definitive version £18.99
  3. Netflix Version
  4. PS2 emulator

I am wondering what is the best version to get that will give me both controller support and the best experience?

It would also be good to play this on my iPhone with a controller like a backbone or something.

If anyone could also give recommendations for controller. Is there a backbone-like-controller that will fit my iPhone and my iPad?

Looking for game recommendations

Hi! Looking for a business game like Coffee Inc 2. I don't mind if its free or paid, and it can be about anything. I just something to pass the time on my iPhone.

Something I'm trying to avoid is those energy mechanics on some free business/management/simulator games where your actions are limited to the amount of energy you have, and when you run out you have to wait hours or buy credits.

Abalon 🔥

So I have to give a shout out to this game, it was on the new release list last week and someone from here mentioned they saw potential in it, and that it was a strategy based rougelike deck builder…well living Slay the Spire and Dawncaster, and really just being a rougelike junkie I had to try it, well 4 days after launch I decided to buy all 4 expansions at 7.99 a piece here’s why.

  1. GREAT Dev, he’s a one man show, his discord is very active he responds to literally every player and is appreciative of his customers…I cannot say how much this means to a game, as we find bugs he fixes them in one week every bug we’ve found has been dealt with…the excitement I get being heard out by the Game Dev is worth me supporting him alone… in a day of AAA games where your a number this is beyond refreshing!

  2. ITS FUN! The UI gets some getting used to but it’s fluid, the animations are great, the environments respond to elements IE burn spells clearing forests etc…. The level of detail and depth is crazy considering it’s a 1 man show (I think he may have more but it seems to be just him). I’m 37 and a dad and husband jumping in and out of this game is a breeze! And it gets m my heart pumping… I feel it’s a combo of STS, Diablo2, and Dice throne! It’s felt out fun!

  3. No adds or extra selling, just expansions…pay and you get it!!

  4. Great Discord community! Everyone is chill and it’s growing fast! A few days ago about 500 members, about to break 800+, I love sharing deck ideas, game ideas etc!!!

  5. Difficulty scales effectively, easy enough for a beginner or you can literally play hardcore mode! So it’s gonna take some critical thinking and building to get by, it’s not one size fits all you have to adapt to each battle!

These are just some of the reasons I suggest getting this game, especially if your into a community and being part of an amazing game at ground floor this is for you! Trust me! I hope I see you over at the discord, if you were curious this is your sign to give it a try, it’s completely free to start and you can support as you see fit! This is your sign to give it a try! And as always keep rolling those 20s 😉!! 🎉

Need Terraria touch control tips plz

Been quadriplegic since birth so I play iPad with a mouth stick. It’s basically like playing with a single finger except my neck is weak as well. I have beaten two Cat Quests, Crashlands, enjoy Don’t Starve, just to give you an idea of my abilities. My idea for Terraria is to jam all joysticks & buttons in the center but holy moly there are a bunch of them. Are there things I can remove & play successfully? I love the idea of mining and building and wrecking evil if I plan correctly getting the best gear via crafting. Thanks for reading and ask anything.

No Way Home (SMG studios) is coming back to iOS and other platforms

I’ve been messaging SMG studios (devs for No Way Home) on Twitter and apparently they are releasing No Way Home on iOS and also PC again very soon. Bit of a cult classic that disappeared from Apple Arcade a couple of years ago.

They didn’t give me a solid date but it’s apparently re-releasing very soon, just a steam approval until it does.
