It reminds me a little bit of a highly addictive Flash game called Filler

Lol at the iOS/mobile gaming haters.

You're all cracking me up with your knee-jerk close-mindedness.

This might be OK on an iPad. I can't see playing it on the iPhone though. Fingers on a small screen would definitely be a hindrance.

That's definitely been a problem for me, even on the 5. There are some times where you just can't see the tiny objects you need to tap on through your thumbs. Looking forward to playing more of it on the iPad though, seems really neat.

Huge fan of Adam Saltsman's stuff, picked it up as soon as it was out. This game is so good. And there's way more stuff than you would think. There's a FEZ-like Rabbit hole in here...

I don't really understand what the gameplay is, but it looks like one of the Bit Generations/Art Style games, but not one of the good ones.

Looks like you have to add up to 100 on each screen? Seems a bit too...educational.

*Queue a bunch of counter-culture anti-Android comments from people who didn't even watch the trailer*

Sorry for having Fandroid as my mobile ecosystem of choice. If Hundreds came out for Fandroid, I would at least try it. But I dislike Windows Phone and I am not going to get a Microsoft device (again) to play a game.

But I'm glad to see the cultured, informed Sony Defense Force is Giant Bomb.

If you consider someone predicting that people would talk shit a "defense", then yeah, guess so. Considering the way you felt the need to preemptively apologize for owning an Fa(t)ndroid device, it almost seems like there's some sort of persecution complex in effect. Do you happen to run track as well?

I was apologizing; I wasn't being ironic. Big difference that seems to have flown way into your head. I consider you part of a defense force the same way you generalize and put in the same bag everyone who doesn't like WP7. Not that I feel persecuted by random Ivy League smartass #1, but if you do not want people to feel persecuted, then stop accurately predicting how they will behave. So that's that.

And, that's how I beat Shaq.

Fixed.

@RecSpec Help me out. I'm assuming the first one is pre solved and trying to clue me in. Second one - I can't seem to even follow wtf is happening. I move a letter and another one flies in from somewhere else. Am I supposed to brute force it?

I like how people are arguing about how other people find enjoyment. Hey guys, perhaps, all games, are games, and perhaps, some games can be art, while other games are not? Perhaps, if we just wait an see, then we might be surprised.

@JoeyRavn: If acknowledging the very existence of a vocal minority of iPhone haterz somehow equates to defending iPhone, well...okay. I only commented in the first place because it was funny how caremad you got.

I use and enjoy Windows as well. I don't dislike Linux because I haven't used it and don't know anything about it...I just brought it up because you came off as one of "those people".

@mostman: The second one is made up of anagrams (unscramble the words). The third one has a simple pattern, just remember that "the" is one of the most used 3 letter words and work from there. The fourth and fifth ones? I gave that one the double birds because fuck that game! I give up.

It's pretty damn fun! I spent most of the night playing Super Hexagon all the same, but it's a good game!

Puzzle 27 is KILLING ME at the moment, though.

i dont understand all the mobile game hate here. why does the platform a game is on make it automatically shit?

i guess its the same as when a sony fanboy assumes everything on the 360 is shit just because its on the 360. or vice versa.

It would be nice to know what you do in this game. A video such as this might be a good way of getting that information across to us.

Just saying.

I will be sure to check it out the next time I am parked on the toilet at work for an extended period of time, which is how I play most of my mobile games.

looks very boring.. like most iOS games..

so many clones and boring games on iOS.. that said.. there are some gems..

pretty much my feelings on it, I don't mind some of them but I find myself rarely able to put any time into touchscreen games, they are only good for short blasts and there's very little innovation, many, many clones.

anything with on screen joysticks/buttons is an instant no for me too.

That's some mighty fine detective work. I can only imagine the amount of work you put in, researching each individual member of the site, determining their likes and dislikes to eventually eliminate down to Patrick. What helped seal the deal, break the camel's back, and release the kraken? Was it the "VIDEO POSTED BY PATRICKKLEPEK ON JAN. 3, 2013" located near the trailer video?

Found it boring.

"Rooms" on the other hand was bloody fantastic.
