Be Excellent To Each Other

That's only a fifth of the price of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

I can't stop playing FIFA mobile. Refuse to pay for it though so may be short lived (but now at three weeks)

It's £8.

It's a demo, with the full game being all 6 worlds (4 stages each) and two other game modes.

It's Mario.

It (looks) polished as fuck.

I'm totally buying it.

EDIT: The race to the bottom and F2P has killed the App Store, I haven't bought anything other than Reigns in a year. This is a breath of fresh air.

I definitely need some new offline games to play on my phone. Recommendations welcome, don't mind if they cost money, and I particularly like good versions of board/card games, like Star Realms, Dominion, etc

Yep, I don't mind dropping £4-8 on a mobile game if they're going to be good value. F2P games don't tend to take up a lot of my time (Pokémon GO excepted).

Solomon's Keep is a great fun wizard shooter RPG-type thing.

I played this for ages

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one.

Yeah, I finished that a while back. Very fun game.

My main concern with Mario is that 24 levels isn't very much for a Mario game, but obviously just that number on its own doesn't tell you very much.

If it's comparably meaty as other Mario games, £8 is a bargain.

I reckon that they'd probably sell more without have a demo and just making it £8 up front, and sales data on mobile tends to agree. But then none of the other games on iOS are Mario.

Closest comparison is probably Minecraft, GTA and Final Fantasy, all which do very well on iOS. Also this is already getting a huge push from Apple. Apple obviously don't care about games as anything more than a means to an end, but Mario and Nintendo has a degree of prestige that no one else can really match.

Solomon's Graveyard us a great fun wizard shooter endless-type thing.

Solomon's Boneyard is a great fun wizard shooter endless-type thing.

Anyone got any games to suggest that do not contain the word Solomon?

Really Bad Chess (Chess where all the pieces are randomised)
Bug Princess (bullet hell greatness)
Sonic CD (Sonic CD) (with adverts)

Not really what you're looking for but what you should be looking for. Maybe.

Ah yes, indeed.

Cheers. The chess one sounds fun as I love chess.

I'm a big fan of Bug Princess (Treasure's bullet hell shooter).

I'm not so keen on Bug Princess 2 - the graphics aren't as good. Boo!

So I'm super happy to report that Espgaluda II is more Bug Princess 1 than 2. And by that I mean it's awesome.

I've played a few more of the free trials for Treasure shooters and I rather dislike that DoDonPatchi game. Ain't that supposed to be brilliant. It's gash.

which one, that 'pure game'' or resurrection (day ou you)

Someone has clocked Threes!

New Star Soccer is back. Yay!

It's an IAP-ridden mess, looking at its App Store page. Nay.

I loved the original (before that too got IAP'ed to buggery).

Trooper, did your school pal also work on this one?

Looks like it!
