Yeah Fling!  I do enjoy it and yes the music is a very nice tune that reminds me of my SNES.  The puzzles are mean as I'm stuck or at least not passing level 7  but I'll get it as I was on the last puzzle of the level and my time ran out   It can be done!  Just need to get the right set of puzzles for it.

Well it's on sale for free right now, lol, I don't review free games as a rule - before that it was on sale for .99...so at this rate they'll pay people to play it and the review will be moot.

Dungeon Hunter finally came out - just bought it. It's a sizeable game. Thankfully, there are four save slots so you can experiment a bit. I've noticed a few framerte drops, but they're not intrusive.

As expected, there are four stats you can affect - Strength, Dexterity, Endurance and Energy. You're told at the class selection screen which of the four to concentrate on with each class, but you're free to do as you like. How you distribute your stats affects all sorts of things...

There's a lot of stats here.

Attack Rating, Critical Chance, Melee Hit Chance, Left and Right Hand Damage, Defense Rating, Armour, Block, Dodge, Magic Evasion, Damage Reduction, Magic Resistance, Spell Critical Chance, Spell Hit Chance, Spell Damage Bonus, HP Regeneration, MP Regeneration, HP Leech and MP Leech...

Seems each class has 15 skills as well, ranging from active to passive. The passive ones are interesting, since their effects are really varied - Fool's Luck increases the amount of Gold found, Acrobat increases Dodge, Ambidextrous increases your overall Attack as long as you use two weapons and (my personal favourite) Combo Master which increases the damage of each successive hit on the same enemy.

Oh nice having a few save spots always helps out.  There are a few different classes right?  I haven't picked it up yet though.  Did you restart your phone after downloading or would that not help the framerate?

I didn't know resetting the phone could help... Either way, I updated my previous post with a bit deeper an explanation. I've noticed that moving is a major hassle (the "analogue stick" can be insanely unresponsive). Other than that, the game is sneaky - you can transmute items into gold, so I transmuted all my loot only to realise that items are ten times more expensive to buy at the merchant... I won't be transmuting stuff any more.

Oh a bunch of stats to level is always fun.  lol sorry to hear about the transmuting   that can happen when still learning the in's and out's.  Gameloft is pretty decent with their controls so I'm surprised the analogue stick isn't as sound for this title.

I've just seen that there are two control types... The analogue stick or touch controls (point and he goes there, which is far more accurate).

And yeah, I love the items... As expected, there are different "levels" of items... Like common, uncommon, rare, legendary - that sort of stuff. The rarer the item, the more awesome the buffs it offers. My armour offers a +10% resistance to Electrical attacks, my offhand knife leeches 6% of damage for my own health, my bootsoffer a +15% resistance to Earth attacks, my gloves give a +4% resistance to all elemental attacks while increasing my Attack Rating by 5.

As for transmuting, it's awesome that you can set it to automatically transmute items of lesser value. White items are the most basic, so obviously transmuting those whenever you get them saves you space in your inventory. I guess, as you progress, the higher colours stop being worth the effort as well.

ZOMG. Hybrid came out today. I'd get it, but it seems that it costs a lot more than I thought it would... I put £7 aside for it and Dungeon Hunter, if you remember... But Dungeon Hunter is £4 and Hybrid is £3.50, so I'm 50p short.

Oh well, I'll grab it on Monday instead of that Modern Warfare 2 microphone thingy I was going to pick up for Uncharted 2.

Never tried Tweetie but I never done twitter before hand either 

For some reason this game just won me over and I already have 8 hours in it!



There are two things that might put you off on this game.  The N64 graphics and the high price tag.  Once you start playing the graphics don't really matter as the rest of the game is well thought out but the price is the main deterent... which is kind of odd as it's still only 10 bucks

Meh. I'm not a graphics whore so N64 graphics suit me fine. As for the high price tag... well... let's just say that's irrelevant to me. I'll get it.

lol well hope you like it too!  Selling items took me a bit to figure out but once you enter the store you go into your inventory to sell your items rather than the shop keepers.  Minor but I did dumped a bag full of items before I figured it out

I'm slightly annoyed with Gameloft... Seems Dungeon Hunter was glitchy as hell, moreso than just the control issue, so they removed it from the App Store. Hope they get an update out soon.

That Nearby thing is hilariously rubbish for me... Keeps showing me people's tweets from America and stuff.

Let me know what you think of HYBRID - maybe another "community voice" thing on this review? I've got to play and review that one this week.
