It's Sim Tower light.

Very nice win. Yep, current one is one of the tougher ones, hoping my time holds up!

Been playing it, but calling this "Sim Tower Light" would be like calling Mafia Wars "GTA Light". It's something to do for about 10-15 minutes a day, but it's not an engaging game like Game Dev Story...

IStrategia is a good Stratego game. I can't figure out how to change the options but it's fun so far

Man I must have ran that course 100 times, and hoped that my 1/1000th of a second lead would hold up.

$#!&

I LOL'd when I saw the 1/1000th difference in our scores this morning. Took me about 10 more runs to get back into first... Fun game!!

OK, Im in on the 1000 heroz, markpg

Nice time today!! :eek:

Thanks, first day playing. Beginners luck?

I was able to best you... for now. :) I think the key today is landing that last big jump correctly....

just did a crazy 16.030 time on today's run after almost convincing myself I would never eve win another day. :cool:

This game and the running against your ghost thing has a way of frustrating you to no end. You know how you get acquainted with the run, then are getting away from your ghost only to miss the last critical jump and land to a standstill, going ARRRRRRGGGGG!!! :)

I see there are now 7 Heroz on the FOFC league, no clue who Wam13 and Missy6376 are though. Come on, show yourselves :)

playing:
FrogMan = QCFROGMAN
PadresFan104 = LEADFOOT4
lordscarlet = LORDSCARLET
Marmel = MARKPG23
Glengoyne = GLENGOYNE18
?? = WAM13
?? = MISSY6376

Which game?

App Shopper: 1000 Heroz (Games)

They release one new course through which you try to run as fast as possible with the hero of the day. Currently on day 22, they say they will release 1000 of these Heroz and you only have 24 hours to record your time on any given course. Usual time for a track is between 16 and 24 seconds and you can try again and again, and again some more...

Once in the game, you enter FOFC as your custom league and you can compare your time to other FOFCers...


FM

Sonnofa....!!! :)

I'm in a meeting for the next hour so I won't have a chance to beat that time, crap!!! :banghead:

Good job!!

Add me to 1000 Heroz... I'm Broth32

Man that 16.030 is amazing. I couldn't break the 17 second "barrier". Making smooth landings is key. I once made a hugely perfect jump and landing on the last jump to land on the final downslope and go across the line very fast. Unfortunately I'd botched some earlier landings so that didn't even measure up. I just couldn't string it all together, like the folks posting 15s and 16s are able to do.

yeah, for me that was as perfect a run as I think I could have done. Everything went so smooth and I landed that last jump too, which is where I usually crapped out ;)

Took me a long while before even breaking the 18 second barrier though...

updated list in the FOFC league:
FrogMan = QCFROGMAN
PadresFan104 = LEADFOOT4
lordscarlet = LORDSCARLET
Marmel = MARKPG23
Glengoyne = GLENGOYNE18
CleBrownsFans = Broth32
eiskrap = eiskrap
?? = WAM13
?? = MISSY6376

The last part with the damn rock gets me every time! Fun game though ;)

Can I join the league if I have hte iPad version?

wam13 is me.

I'm terrible at this game.

Don't see why not, try entering FOFC in your custom league to see if it works...



AH, gotcha!

updated list in the FOFC league:
FrogMan = QCFROGMAN
PadresFan104 = LEADFOOT4

Marmel = MARKPG23
Glengoyne = GLENGOYNE18
CleBrownsFans = Broth32
eiskrap = eiskrap
wade moore = WAM13
?? = MISSY6376

Success is all in timing your landing so you don't lose momentum and you never have to build your speed back up from nothing...

FM

Missy is my wife. :)

lol, then so she shall be know as "Marmel's wife" :)

today's run is giving me fits with its many jumps and landings...

FM

***must-beat-all-FOFC'ers*** ;)

Thats me. I just picked this up today. Only had time for a few runs. I'll play it more later when on conference calls I'm sure!

im in, just joined up today :)

Cool, nice little league we've got going!!!

yeah, the list kinda exploded overnight, cool :)

For some reason, I'm thinking that RAINRAVEN might be RPI-Fan but I'm not sure...

FM

Nope, actually is RainRaven :)

:D oops, knew I'd seen that name somewhere, forgot it was right here ;)

Kinda stuck on today's run and not seeing how I could better my time. Sometimes I'm faster than my ghost early on the run only to always finish the same. Don't remember how I was able to finish this fast when I did my best time...

FM

So annoyed that I couldn't shave another tenth of a second off of my best time in that last one.... :mad:

eiskrap owns us all. everyday.

Yes.. :banghead:

I am noting the trend. I'm wishing I could see what all of those folks two seconds faster than I are doing.

today's run is a tough one, or their gold time standard is just not right. Not one of us has done Gold so far today...

The new game from the developers of Game Dev Story and Hot Spring Story is out. Pocket Academy and it's been quite fun so far (about 6 years in). It's basically running some sort of Japanese high school.

POCKET ACADEMY!

! I have to get this. I love GDS and HSS.

Boo, I'm 89 cents short of just using my credited dollars. And my other iTunes gift cards are still back in NV.

The tube ride to work and home is the perfect amount of time to get good at a run... I'll leave the weekend to you guys ;)

I appreciate that!! :)

Some people are working on an app I "created" based off Mafia Wars. It'll be free to the open public and you'll receive tangible products once you reach certain levels in the game. I want it to be completed within the next two months for the Android and iOS platforms. We'll see if they can do it.

Political Fury is free right now. Great game, although it's easy to win on the quizzes. Stupid Democrats.

Back on the tube today ;-)

Guys, what do you think of a dedicated "FOFC 1000 Heroz League" thread so we can discuss the daily runs, talk smack and whatnot...?

Surprised one hasn't been made yet to be honest.

Done!

Two I haven't tried but have potential.

DrawRace is apparently free right today (7/14). Touch Arcade says it's pretty slick. Five Alarm Freebie Alert: 'DrawRace' – Download This Now | Touch Arcade

Also, TUAW seems to like Kard Combat at least at first blush. It's free but has for-pay expansions. I'm going to give it a go. TUAW's Daily iPhone App: Kard Combat | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

DrawRace is awesome, have had it since it's release...
