best iPhone/iPad game I've played in a while.

Will try.

Edit:

God I hate browsing an app and be greeted to "Top in-app purchases" leading into a long scammerrific list of "DLCs."

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #2 on:** August 02, 2011, 03:43:17 PM »

I haven't encountered a moment where I've felt that need to get any of the DLC.

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #3 on:** August 02, 2011, 03:47:46 PM »

That's good to hear, but I was referring to the app's page on the AppStore regardless of how it's presented in-game. Seeing it, especially if the list is freaking long and the game is fairly new, is always discouraging.

First impression after the completing the first level on easy: cool game

Second impression after the completing the second level on normal: this game owns

I expected nothing less from the people behind Infinity Gene. The presentation is twice as slick.

Fuckfaces, add me: rebiak

I'm ruling the leaderboard now.

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #8 on:** August 02, 2011, 04:25:26 PM »

I stopped adding people to game center after the jailbreak borked it. I'll give it another try now.

It's ok, it's nothing special.

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #10 on:** August 02, 2011, 08:15:40 PM »

This would probably play twice as better on an iPad.

I also hate to sound like a Sony shill but since IG was released on XBLA/PSN, I hope that someday this will too. I'd pay $5-$10 to play it on the Vita

I do not own an ios device but kind of wish I did now.

Presentation looks fantastic, actual gameplay looks extremely basic. I'd try it if it ever came on Android, at least.

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #13 on:** August 02, 2011, 10:47:57 PM »

Playing this on an iPad, w/headset, on hard, and nailing ad-libs is as good as portable and rhythm games can get. Hands down best iOS game I've played in a long time. Icon BrandNew

@tiesto: the game's mechanics are pretty simplistic on lower difficulties, but when you crank it up and you start getting all the gestural prompts it gets really challenging. This game is tailored for a touch screen and the controls just works.

I actually prefer it on the iPhone.

this won't let my download it onto my 3gs because i need at least software version 2.0 and when i hook it up to itunes to update it keeps saying that i have the latest version, but in reference to itunes itself and not my phone

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #16 on:** August 03, 2011, 03:07:17 AM »

It sounds like you're doing it wrong. If it's not prompting you to download the latest iPhone firmware, simply select your device on the left panel and click "update."

Edit: I like how I censored the name and left the phone number.

Edit2: there we go.

drew · « **Reply #17 on:** August 03, 2011, 03:29:20 AM »

nope, that's exactly what i'm doing, and when i press update a window pops up saying i have the latest itunes software already

Tasty · « **Reply #18 on:** August 03, 2011, 04:34:52 AM »

Tell me when it comes out on a platform that actually matters.

Why does the app shop require wifi anyway? Every other thing in the phone works over 3G, what's the deal?

Also: GROOVE COASTER... very nice. The music is mostly pretty good, with a few which have a "wtf, am I playing a mid-'90s Japanese racing game?" feeling to them.

I can't seem to get the swipe moves to register at the right time. I wish they had them in the Normal or Easy levels, so I could get used to the move at a slower timing.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #23 on:** August 04, 2011, 09:21:15 PM »

Jaikbreak your phone and download 3G unrestrictor

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #24 on:** August 04, 2011, 10:58:41 PM »

Yeah, most of the tracks are really good ("I'd buy them" good), and I enjoyed playing through most of them, but my god Happy Smile almost gave me cancer. My favorites are Revenge Of Arkanoid (because of the crazy visuals resembling Arkanoid), I CANNOT APE, and the one with the Japanese character (GEKI?).

Great game. Will buy extra DLC tracks.

gave this a whirl last night. Enjoyed it more than Child of Eden w/Kinect, felt a bit sad

Also, FFS Japanese devs is it so DIFFICULY to use a goddamn dictionary once in a while!

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #26 on:** August 05, 2011, 03:26:18 AM »

I know right

these games don't have decent localization teams I suppose?

chronovore · « **Reply #27 on:** August 05, 2011, 08:34:51 AM »

The credits look like they outsourced it, perhaps only to one guy.

However, having worked with Japanese companies for a little bit now, there is nothing like watching someone take all the laboriously edited text and then getting their own little groove on with LogoVista or Excite.jp, and sending all credibility into the toilet with five minutes of hasty revisions. "Oh, I didn't want to bother the localization guy!" FFFUUU...
