What's New in 868

1.15

December 8, 2022

ok there was a bunch of random stuff all pretty minor but like, making it difficult or unplayable like the touch controls not lining up with buttons on-screen on some phones, or it being upside down also some genuinely minor stuff like sound not coming out of headphones? weird i think it's all sorted now but let me know if there's still any problems i'll sort out all the problems i have two small kids and long-term illness and i'm running out of money and i'm trying to focus on a new project keeping my old stuff running because of unnecessary os updates that break things isn't my top priority but i get around to it eventually honestly i really prefer the model of you paying once and then you've bought the game rather than the continuous IAP thing but there does end up being a bunch of ongoing work that i'm kind of not paid for and the cost of living has gone way up anyway i started a patreon, so if you do want to support me in a continous way you can https://www.patreon.com/smestorp but if not that's chill, i'll come along with some new games in a bit it's just been tough ok thanks for playing

LUCK > skill

Yepโ€ฆ deleted. This game sucks. Try writing a better tutorial.

Mostly luck, some skill. The rules are lame. For example, complete a sector and all resources RESET. The game tried to be RPG-ish by letting you continue to get a "score-streak" but seriously... The RESET RUINS this game. And lets talk about LUCK...

A massive RANDOM factor makes this game LUCK-DRIVEN. Random viruses will appear on board. You are constantly out-numbered. Some viruses teleport, others go thru walls. You are LUCKY if the ideal opposing program appears. Too much LUCK involved.

FYI, this plays like turn-based Pacman: move around the grid, avoid viruses, lure them into firing positions. HOPE you see an opposing program. HOPE the grid corridors are scattered to yor advantage. Complete a sector, RESET.

COMPLETELY LAME although amusing AND annoying. No stats, just a hacked up leaderboard. Too easy to lose, too much luck involved. Not worth the price.

Legend

Donโ€™t let the limited reviews scare you. This is one of the most famous rogues of all time. Incredible game play where every move matters. Absolutely worth the money even if itโ€™s hard.

Great, short puzzle roguelike

I had a great time reviewing this for our podcast on roguelike games (https://grogpod.zone). I wasnโ€™t sure how it would play from watching videos, but the actual experience of it was fun!

Your goal is to get points through 8 levels and if you survive, continue a new run and see how far your score can go. Thereโ€™s lots of smart game design here which is only made better in the upcoming sequel 868-BACK. Itโ€™s a small scope game, but the interactions and theme really do feel like a pulse pounding heist on the final level when youโ€™re trying to escape with your hacked point total.

Very fun to play at a group gathering or have friends to compare scores with. If there was ever a roguelike only arcade, this would go right next to the Spelunky cabinet.

Go to mobile game

This and Hoplite are top shelf mobile game essentials. Imbroglio, made by this developer, is also good.

This game in particular is deceptively simplistic looking. Good depth in these games.

The games are easy to jump into and out of.

If you wanna step up and go to AA experiences, another deceptively simplistic looking game is the one by the creators of FTL - โ€˜Into the Breachโ€™.

Mobile essentials.
