What are you all playing right now?

[ninetydegrees]

I'm staying away from Steam because I don't have time to get absorbed into anything serious right now and therefore sticking to mobile games. Right now I'm into Tiny Tower and Tiny Tower Vegas because I love the retro art, the humor, and elevators (not kidding). It's very simple and you can play for as little or as long as you want. Doesn't require wi-fi either.

I am currently playing Township on my phone, with occasional forays into Fishdom. Both of these games are good at giving you the premium currency without you having to buy it, as long as you don't mind the occasional request to watch an ad.

I am also playing Kingdom of Loathing, which my boyfriend introduced me to lo these many years ago (seriously I think it was 2005) and which I find delightful because they never stop expanding and adding to the game.

(On Steam I mostly play hidden-object puzzle games, which take a day or so and are then forgotten, but which keep me occupied.)

(Love your icon!)

Oh I've played Township! It's a great game. I stopped playing it because I was already way too invested in Hay Day and The Tribez but I miss all the little folk walking around (and the mountain climber!) and helicopter deliveries. :)

I'd never heard of Kingdom of Loathing but it looks like a very cool RPG.

I also play hidden-object games from time to time. I have three on my table: Criminal Case and its sequel, and Hidden City.

(The icon is actually some of the early in-game art drawn by the Kingdom of Loathing devs. It's gotten ... slightly better. Part of the charm.)


I was playing Tribez for a while, it just became too cumbersome with all the islands &c.

I loved the little stick figures! (Do they not do those anymore?)

[starfish]

Some of the art is still very primitive *g* but apparently they did hire someone who could draw a little better so some of the newer monsters &c are slightly more, um, representational. But all the old stuff remains as it was.

Yeah, I only play once in a while. Otherwise it's a bit overwhelming. Plus they do events all the time now and I found this annoying.

zomgosh KoL! I started playing that FOREVER ago and then I quit and I loved that game.

So much has changed. SO MUCH. I wandered off for about a year and then had no idea how anything worked anymore. Thank bob for the wiki.

I got sucked into Township about four months ago and I've actually really enjoyed it. And how cute is the Easter event? I throw them some money every once in awhile when I get impatient, but I do like how it's not really required to play. Also if you like match 3s, the same company does Gardenscapes: New Acres which is cute.

I recently developed a love for hidden object games and found a few for the 3DS, but I hadn't thought to look for some on Steam yet! They're one of the best kinds of games for de-stressing, imo, even if they're not usually all that memorable.
