The TouchArcade Show – An iPhone Games Podcast

On this week's episode of The TouchArcade Show we talk about our experience so far with The Next Big Thing™, the iPhone 5. We also cover some video games. At the top, we give a few words to Super Monsters Ate My Condo before diving into White Whales' God of Blades and Rovio Entertainment's electrifying new puzzle game, Bad Piggies. Much later, we dig into our mailbag and address a few user comments and questions. This week of the show is a regular one for the most part, except it has an extended game segment that dips into the second half of the show. Again, we're super thankful that you dear listener were patient with our Rewind show last week. Hopefully, this one is a good return to normal for ya. Anyway, if you'd like to listen go ahead and do so via these links below. If you'd like to subscribe and get our episodes the second they hit the Internet you totally can.

This week on The TouchArcade Show, we press "rewind" in a huge way in anticipation of a flood of new enthusiasts courtesy the iPhone 5. At the top, we re-introduce ourselves and talk about our podcast. What it seeks to do, how we roll, and why we try to deliver the hottest, latest, and best of iOS orally each week. A little later, we dive into some basics of iPhone. We cover the games we like, the apps we use every day, and discuss traditional issues we've covered in the past. Think of it as something of a primer that hopefully will give new listeners a good idea of how our phone use and our stance on this stuff informs our work and opinions. In the second segment we revert go old-school, covering the news and getting to a few user questions, just like we always do. If you're an old listener, we appreciate all of you hanging with us this week and understanding why we're doing this. If you're semi-new maybe this might answer some lingering questions you have. iTunes Link: The TouchArcade Show Zune Marketplace: TouchArcade.com Podcasts RSS Feed: The TouchArcade Show Direct Link: TouchArcadeShow-070.mp3, 39.8MB Every week we throw out show notes about the stuff we've covered. We didn't hit on any new games specifically, but we did talk plenty about our past likes and, of course, also the front page. Here you go: GAMES Infinity Blade [$5.99] Infinity Blade 2 [$6.99] Game Dev Story [$3.99 / Free] Disk Drivin' [$1.99 / $2.99 (HD) / Free] Canabalt [$2.99] Doodle Jump [$0.99 / Free / $2.99 (HD)] FRONT PAGE Nintendo Hooks Up With Unity TouchArcade's Mega Blockbuster Super Awesome iPhone 5 Coverage

On this week's bonus episode of the TouchArcade Show, Eli and I have a chat with David L. Hoyt. Hoyt is the man behind Jumble, one of the most popular print word games on the planet. He's also designed tons of other print word games, as well as casino titles and board games. In other words, dude is kinda prolific. On our show this week, we talk to Hoyt about the shrinking print space, as well as how the mobile revolution is informing his current work. We also talk about his new project, Word Winder, and how he's approaching his tablet game. Word Winder, by the way, is due out this October across iPad and Kindle Fire. If you've got a Nook Color, it's already available on that platform's storefront. Sit back, relax, and enjoy. Hoyt was an awesome guest, as he explained how things are changing in the print space and the benefits of embracing mobile as both an author and designer. iTunes Link: The TouchArcade Show Zune Marketplace: TouchArcade.com Podcasts RSS Feed: The TouchArcade Show Direct Link: TouchArcadeShow-Bonus-043.mp3, 14.1MB

This week on the TouchArcade Show, we push through conversations about our wardrobe, Eli's new knife, and other stupid stuff in order to bring you the latest, greatest, and best in iPad and iPhone gaming. At the top of the podcast, we drop some thoughts on White Whale's imaginative hack-and-slash God of Blades. Later, we discuss Fieldrunners 2 HD and the "pricing controversy," touching on expectations and the cost of games development. And, of course, during the second segment, we talk about the new iPhone 5 and iPod touch -- what the new screen size means for games, how both devices feel, and what we think about them, overall, as gaming devices.

On this week's episode of The TouchArcade Show, Eli talks about his new diet and how he's going to cope with being away from home base for a few days. We also break down some of this week's hottest releases, including an intriguing monster training game called Little Masters and Avengers Initiative. If you're hot for Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition, stick around. We've got a build and we discuss our experiences with the title, touching on what it's like to play a wicked old game on a platform that didn't exist when it first launched and the challenges Beamdog has in front of it, as it preps the exciting release. Later in the show, we dive into the front page and also touch on Steam Greenlight, the latest video game crowd-sourcing thing.

On this week's episode of The TouchArcade Show, we ask what kind of oil is best for, you know, greasing up muscles. We also talk about video games: at the top, we give some time to Final Fantasy Dimensions and some new TouchArcade content highly inspired by the Walled Garden Weekly podcast. A little later, we dive into Double Fine's free-to-play sim Middle Manager of Justice, the oft-hilarious point-and-click title McPixel, and Blast-A-Way, Illusion Labs' latest iPhone and iPad joint. Good stuff. After the break, we hit the latest news, including the recent ESRB listing of Kareteka, the sudden release of Bastion on iPad, and other notables.

Indie game creator Sos Sosowski embraces silliness and loves action. He also digs point-and-click, too. With his new game he has combined these elements into an incoherent, but lovely fast-paced adventure game where failure often yields the most compelling results. Put a gun to my head and force me to categorize McPixel [$2.99 / Free], and I'll say it's a point-and-click game. I'd feel terrible about it, though, because it's definitely not traditional genre fare. In the game, you're tasked with defusing or getting rid of bombs across 100 levels. In each level you're given 20 seconds to find a solution using absurd adventure game logic that has you doing things like, say, handing a bomb wrapped in a hotdog bun to an alien smoking an illegal substance -- on a desert island. iTunes Link: The TouchArcade Show Zune Marketplace: TouchArcade.com Podcasts RSS Feed: The TouchArcade Show Direct Link: TouchArcadeShow-Bonus-042.mp3, 9.6MB The game's pacing -- which reminds us a lot of WarioWare -- is what makes McPixel pop, and what makes us think twice about its categorization. McPixel whisks you from level-to-level, never stopping until you complete a set of levels. Like an epic fail carousel, you get the opportunity to keep re-retrying levels you blew in a fast-fire, circular fashion until you discover the solution. Failure is awesome. The hotdog level, for example? You can try to put out the bomb with ketchup, which is conveniently located in a cart next to the bomb. If you go that route, however, you'll lose because, well ... McPixel decides to splash the bomb-with-ketchup in his face instead of smothering the bomb's wick. We talked with Sosowski this afternoon and learned some things about how he approached the design of McPixel. As you play, for example, you'll notice that none of the levels have any connective tissue. Sosowski says that's by design. He made McPixel on the fly, sometimes creating scenarios where he didn't know the outcome until the last second. The one thing that he did know is that he wanted an action-y point-and-click game, as he was a little tired of hour-long adventure game scenarios wrapped up in a cohesive story. For what it's worth, this mindless approach works. McPixel has a playful kind of feel to it, and we're certain that this is a side effect of Sosowski playing it so loose. Unlike most adventure games, McPixel isn't concerned with establishing puzzle logic or a world or even coherent situational content. It's completely, and delightfully, off the wall in every single imaginable way. From kill screens to bombs-in-hotdog buns to Star Wars references, McPixel has it. You can listen to our talk with Sosowski above. And if you're a PC or retro fan, there's some good news buried in there. Sosowski is currently working on bringing the game to Steam via the service's upcoming crowd-sourced Greenlight initiative. Also, a Commodore 64 version of the game is in the works. No, really. Anyway, we took a video look at McPixel earlier today, so check that out if you'd like some moving pictures to go along with these word pictures. McPixel continues to be on sale, and it appears as though it's ending soon. App Store Links:    McPixel, $2.99 (Universal)     McPixel Lite, Free (Universal)

This week on the TouchArcade Show, we make fun of angry Internet comments. We also toss a lot of time to Vote, Chair Entertainment's political hack-and-slash video game. In our actual games section, we dive into the latest, greatest, and best in iOS: Dragon Island, Infinite Warrior, Window Warrior, and Mikey Shorts all get some time in the spotlight. In our second half, we dive into our Warhammer hopes and dreams, as I get excited about Games Workshop embracing phones and tablets. We also discuss Plants vs. Zombies and our feelings on what appears to be some struggles at PopCap Games. There's much more of course. If you'd like to listen, punch these links below.

Topics of other discussion also include the price one studio is paying for launching free-to-play, SEGA's new indie game publishing program Sega Alliance, Eli's popularity on Yelp, the $60 value proposition of console titles, and much, much more.

So... this week's episode of The TouchArcade Show is a little different. It's just Eli and me in an After Hours special that mostly revolves around EA's somewhat disappointing (at least for us, to be fair, it seemed fairly console-focused) Summer Showcase event. At the top of the show, we discuss the reveal of Real Racing 3, a video game with cars in it. After that, we dive into the new features of FIFA 13 and the next project from Bejeweled creator PopCap Games. Jared was at this event on assignment, so he couldn't join us this week, but hopefully, you'll dig what we were able to put together without the Bearded One's soothing presence and awesome commentary. If you want to listen, please do so. We've got some streamable links below. We're also available on iTunes and Zune.

The success of 10000000 [$1.99] is one of those feel-good App Store stories. One guy, with a vision, makes a video game in his spare time. After a year of work, he launches it. He expects nothing, just downloads from friends. But then a wave of positive feedback hits, and now his low-budget, spare time video game rockets up the paid app charts just like a new Disney Mobile or Gameloft game usually does. The creator of 10000000 is Luca Redwood. He's a software engineer during the day, and the designer of a top 30 game by night. He had nine months to develop 10000000 and execute on the ideas in his head while working his full-time job. Redwood explains the crunch in our latest edition of the TouchArcade Show. "It's pretty hard work," he says. "The thing that made it really busy was that I wanted to this game and I'm thinking, 'OK, cool, this is going to be good.' And then my wife was pregnant." iTunes Link: The TouchArcade Show Zune Marketplace: TouchArcade.com Podcasts RSS Feed: The TouchArcade Show Direct Link: TouchArcadeShow-Bonus-041.mp3, 11.8MB "And I'm like, hang on, I've got nine months and then after that I'm going to have no time left," he says. "I said to [my wife] that I'm going to be really busy throughout the pregnancy -- you alright with that? She was very supportive." Redwood describes his time developing as a slugfest, one big nasty nine month crunch full of iteration and cut ideas. He had a three-month head start, so all together he spent a full year of his spare time on 10000000. There was no expectation of success. Redwood had the slightest of hopes, but he didn't put any pressure on himself. In fact, he's still kinda surprised that people are digging his take on the puzzle slash adventure game genre. In fact, 10000000 is really just a game that Redwood made to make his trips to his day job more entertaining. "I commute to work on the London underground," he says. "It's underground so you've not got any Internet access. And it's only 20 minutes. I really like games I can play for five to 20 minutes, get a little far, have some good fun in that small period of time. But, in the next time I play, it's also fun but I'm a little further ahead." Redwood digs progression. 10000000 is pretty high on the charts, so that means more than people than just Redwood are playing it. We loved it, our users loved it -- people are celebrating it, and deservedly so. Redwood describes the sudden wash of sales as "weird," and lets us in on why the explosion couldn't have happened at a worse time. "It was really weird. It got approved by Apple, I think it was on a Thursday. That night, I was going out with a bunch of my friends to celebrate having a baby. I didn't really have a chance to do anything -- to do any marketing or such. So, I just got out and got really drunk," he says. "The next day I was really, really hungover. I had arranged to work from home that day because I knew it was going to be a big night. So I managed to move over to my PC, log onto work, and I then I had a bunch of Skype messages from my friend." "And then they linked the TouchArcade review by Eli and the forum thread. I'm like, what?" "It took me awhile to comprehend. Since then... everyone's talking about it. It's really weird," he tells us. Redwood is a great guy, and he talked with us about a lot of fun topics on our show this week, including what he's learned during the development process. He even teased what he wants to do next. Spoiler: content updates are in the pipe, and he's open to a full-on, blown-up sequel. Catch the audio in the links above, or subscribe to us on iTunes.

We're much more on-topic in this week's episode of The TouchArcade Show. At the top, we note our zombie fatigue and talk about the latest rash of zombie video games, including Telltale Games' masterful point-and-click adventure game, Walking Dead: The Game. Later, we dive back into Fieldrunners 2 alongside Eli, which leads to a discussion about how we'd like games to be balanced. Other topics this week include: cloned games, subscription gaming, Firemint post-merger, and the upcoming TouchArcade app update (which actually was submitted today). Unfortunately, we recorded the podcast just before discovering the incredible 10000000 [$1.99], so if you're looking for an awesome game to play this weekend and want to be up on it for when we talk about it next week, check out our review.
