26 on my first try on my Galaxy S5. I suspect a big monitor increases the difficulty.

Back to One Tap Quest: 21100/116.

Edit: just got 20100/115. I'll never understand the scoring.

An idle game without clicking!

Quite slow, but you do have pretty substantial control over how fast you progress. There's actual tradeoffs!

It's a tower defense, but a mousing (/sliding) one without clicking. Pretty fun, deep tree, varied enemies, somewhat challenging with a variable difficulty level. 8/10 would play after the holidays

Really a browser game. There's iOS and Android apps.

I installed Threes since 2048 is a rip-offs of Threes. The peculiar thing is that, since Threes is less "solvable", it means Threes is a little less mindless relaxation and more, you know, a game.

I think there is probably a reason chess, which is very well suited to a touch interface, doesn't top the sales charts. It's hard.

Idle game.

Pros: the exponentials are balanced and whatnot. Demands interaction without button mashing.
Cons: not much in the way of surprises.

The exponentials are mostly balanced, but larvae spawning doesn't scale all that well which severely limits your ability to scale at the Greater Queen/Hive boundary and never mind Hive Queens. Using energy/cloning is the main hack around that I guess, but still trying to get my 5th Nexus first.

I'm at 51.6Dc Meat, 570M larvae and 8.15Sp territory and 4 Nexus currently.

5th Nexus gives you an out, as it were.

Multiplayer. Eat or be eaten.

Space is for when you want to try and attack someone near your size. W is for attacking those much smaller than yourself.

There's no evidence I posted this, but I've been playing forever. I don't know why I didn't post it!

It's extremely important to kill Trump snakes.

To start, only fight defensive duels. Once your length exceeds 1500, you can be more aggressive, but just remember:
1. Don't be greedy. Settle for eating part of a dead guy and live on to snake some more rather than risk it all.
2. At a certain point, small snakes are more of threat to you than large snakes.

I also have deja vu that I posted this, but I can't find any evidence that I did.

I threw them some cash late last year. Very well-designed card-based RPG. If you like the first handful of dungeons, I recommend getting the expansion pack for real money so as not to cockblock yourself later.

Kongregate shutting down is the end of an era. An insecure, bug ridden, slow performance, mess of an era, to be sure, but an end to it all the same.
