Just tank components.

Star command on tablet is a reasonable parralell to FTL for those that like that sort of thing. Much less polished but still recommendable.

Zombie road trip I can't seem to delete. Even though I've got the best stuff now I want to unlock the rest for the sake of flipping and head shooting.

Dark meadow is a decent enough infinity blade take. Bit lacking in depth in terms of gameplay though. Looks pretty and has a silent hill type storyline, though less deep. I suppose shallow is a good way to describe it, still interesting while it holds the attention though.

I was excited to see the where's my water update, version 2 whatever, but as soon as it obligated me to harass my friends in order to proceed I binned it.

Cookie clicker everyone in the office is distracted by. One producer did an excel to figure out the optimum buying strategy.

My lovecraftian grandmas freak people out with their penis bodies.

So... Back to candy box. I admit I couldn't get interested enough in it the first time around. 

Getting close to 2 billion CPS...

I like the achievement comments:

"You can stop now"
"You should really go to bed"

basically a puzzle RPG, you plot a route through the dungeon trying to upgrade your guy enough that you can kill the dungeon god at the end. I haven't done it yet.

Useful tip: as long as you don't die, you can undo your steps and try a different route. 

Also a dungeon crawl puzzle type game:

Really interesting game idea! 

...just the trick for those slow moments at work :) 

Took me a few tries but just beat the boss now... lots of fun, cool concept.

A simple number matching game, engaging enough that I put in the effort to actually beat it. Implemented in HTML5 so you can play it on a phone too.

man that's great, way better than the similar "threes" on iOS. Really slick. 

It's strangely addicting.
My best is 17068 so far... 

in your face! Smaller is better right?

currently playing Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker. love it.

Picked this up after seeing it recommended on Eurogamer (I think) and it's been pretty fun. Kinda like a mix of chess, RPG, and dungeon crawler. 

Hoplite is groovy. (Weird coincidence since I just finished posting about it at another site.) Just what I want from a mobile game. You can also get it on iOS.

Here's Tom Francis dropping a few words on it: http://www.pentadact.com/2014-03-29-the-randomised-tactical-elegance-of-hoplite/ 

 

You all bought FTL iOS and thats why things are so quiet here.

Still playing Hoplite by the way, hope Magma Fortress does a sequel or follow up quest. 

Thanks for that link Scampie, I'll recommend Threes over 2048 now. 

Yeah FTL on iOS pretty cool, playing it on Ipad. That and Frozen Synapse on Ipad it cool.

Otherwise theres quite a few neat Boardgames on the Ipad to play solor or hotseat. Quite nice to play these conveniently without breaking out the whole gear and taking up a table.

Agricola, Stone Age, Space Hulk, Suburbia etc... 

And all these games aren't 'free to play'.

So let's hope there's a counter to all the candy crush and app flipping clone shit. 

Funny those are all adapted games from other platform / format, board/PC :D

Sure there has to be some serious proper natively developed tablet games though...right ?

Adds the concept of unstable isotopes that disappear after a certain number of turns.
