Vigil RPG vs CornholeKings

One of the 10 best JRPGs available on iOS! -TouchArcade.com Now celebrating 10 years on the App Store: 2014-2024! Vigil RPG is a single-player, 8-bit-style, premium RPG, where *every* battle — not just boss fights — is quick, yet has interesting decision-making. Be a solo hero on a quest to discover the hidden cause behind the sudden appearance of marauding bands of goblins and monsters! Vigil RPG is the ideal pocket-size turn-based RPG, by incorporating features that you may come to wish that every mobile game had: • Created by a one-person development team with a design goal of maximum FUN — not maximum monetization! Vigil RPG has no ads (even before you buy!), premium currencies, stamina timers, or even "leave a review!" nags. If a feature doesn't add fun, then it didn't make the cut. • Meaningful decision-making in every combat — even vs. non-boss enemies! Every enemy has unique attack patterns and "tells" for a clever player to overcome. Healing is hard to come by outside of town, so employing efficient battle strategy is important and rewarding. • Fast turn-based combat! Select an action and launch each combat round in a single tap — no menus to navigate through. Each round takes about one second to play out. Zip through battles quickly against easy enemies; take your time to consider your strategy vs. tougher foes. Vigil RPG respects your time! • No annoying tropes common to console-port RPGs: No imprecise on-screen virtual joystick; just tap your destination to move. No save points, or manual saving; your progress is continually auto-saved -- even mid-battle! • No Internet connection required! Aside from a one-time in-app purchase to unlock the full game (after the generous free demo), you could play from start to closing credits in Airplane Mode! • Unlike many other mobile games, doesn't unduly drain your phone's battery! Vigil RPG is 100% implemented in Apple's native Objective-C and Swift programming languages — no bulky 3rd-party frameworks used! VIGIL RPG SPECIAL 10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION - Huge v3.0 free update! • Vigil RPG is now free-to-try! Play through several quests before unlocking the full game with a single in-app purchase! No ads after -- OR BEFORE -- you buy! • Challenge HONOR MODE! Inspired by a certain awesome hit 2023 AAA RPG -- okay, fine, it's Baldur's Gate 3 -- you can now opt in to this challenging new mode, featuring even more difficult bosses, and PERMADEATH! • Bo the Bartender has even more new advice, commentary, and humor for you! Tap him at the tavern for more tips! • Reworked several normal enemies to be more fun to battle! The Armored Goblin now really doesn't like it if you bypass his shield block with LIGHTNING, for one! • Local high scores for quests! Challenge your best times from prior playthroughs! • Beautiful high resolution support for all iPhone and iPad sizes, from iPhone SE to the 13" iPad Pro! (Runs on your Apple Silicon chip Mac, too -- but Vigil RPG is best enjoyed as an iPhone game!)

It's the summer of 1988, and Jack Milky has one shot at greatness: a bean bag, a backyard, and a cornhole board that's about to change his life. This is my semi-true story of growing up in Meriden, CT. CORNHOLE KINGS (1988) is a retro pixel-art adventure about courage, crushes, and cornhole. Pull back, aim, and flick your way through an eleven-chapter story packed with duels, dreams, bullies, bees, and one very important phone number written on a sweaty palm. PLAY IT LIKE A RETRO CONSOLE On iPad, the game plays on a chunky old-school TV set, with a controller right below it. Want the full living-room experience? Use your iPhone as the controller. Pair it with your iPad, and your phone becomes the gamepad while the iPad becomes the TV. Slide the game up to full screen and settle in on the couch like it's 1988. (On iPhone, the game fills the screen with touch controls.) PLAY ON YOUR MAC On Mac, the same TV set sits in a resizable window, with a key legend under the screen for every scene's controls. Move with the arrow keys or WASD and flick a finger on the trackpad to throw (or click and drag). Buy the full story once and it unlocks on iPhone, iPad and Mac. A FULL STORY, ELEVEN CHAPTERS LONG Chase the school bus, sneak through the cafeteria with gum stuck in your hair, and slide through the soapy halls in a mop bucket. Win Dad's tree-house showdown, survive the carnival, wander the haunted forest, and make it home for the phone call of your life. Every chapter has its own mini-games, so no two levels play alike. EASY TO LEARN, HARD TO PUT DOWN Pull back, aim, and flick. It takes ten seconds to learn the throw, and the matches keep surprising you: • Tim's backyard match, the one that started it all • Dad's wobbly tree house, where branches and robins mess with your lobs • Mom's Summer Christmas, with a slippery board and falling snow • Kim's bank-shot ultimatum, then reverse cornhole against her puppy Bubbles, who eats bags • A stormy duel against Billy Badger, with lightning and exploding bombs • A showdown with the Fairy Queen, whose wand is (obviously) a car antenna MORE THAN CORNHOLE Between duels, Jack's world is full of action mini-games: • Side-scrolling sidewalk dashes and boulder chases • Isometric BMX street racing • A mop-bucket hallway race • Carnival games: beanbag baseball, bicycle jousting, the piranha pond, and horse racing • Dream worlds: a jungle temple, a warped Wonderland, and a space-board shooter SPECIAL BAGS, SPECIAL POWERS Earn Sinker, Gasoline, Fairy Silk, Honey, Bubble Gum and Mind Bags, each with its own trick. Drag a bag into the hole with your thoughts, or burn your rival's bags to a crisp. QUICK PLAY AND 2-PLAYER MODE Jump into a single match any time. Pass-and-play with a friend on the same device, or take on the characters you've beaten in the story. Pick first to 11 or 21, then choose the setting: sunny backyard, tree house, or storm. Also unlock a medieval tournament and become king of the Cornhole! A LOVE LETTER TO THE '80S • Classic pixel art, with a big character intro card for every major face • A chiptune soundtrack and sound effects in true 8-bit style • Funny, warm, 1988-suburban-kid humor: rotary phones, Saturday-morning energy, and a little brother who is always up to something • Haptic feedback on every big moment (iPhone and iPad) BUILT FOR PLAYERS OF ALL SKILL LEVELS • Clear on-screen controls, with a ghost-finger guide the first time you meet each one • Tap "?" any time to replay the how-to-play tips • Rematches get gentler. If you lose, the game helps you win next time. • Your progress saves automatically. Replay any chapter from chapter select. Whether you're a cornhole fan, a retro-gaming nostalgist, or just looking for a charming story game for iPhone, iPad and Mac, Cornhole Kings (1988) is your ticket back to the best summer ever. Pick up a bag. Find your courage. Be a king.
