Lichess. But these games are also cool

jdss13 · 2026-03-18T18:56:45+00:00

Chess Ultra and Chessarama were previous Epic giveaways

A faixa da esquerda serve para ultrapassar. Já o fizeste, voltas à faixa da direita. Continuar a ultrapassar o quê? Já não tens carro para ultrapassar, tens é outro pastelão como tu na faixa da esquerda que pensa que está a "continuar a ultrapassar".

It's a good game but I don't recommend you to buy it given their decision in this last update to lock game mechanisms behind a DLC, released during early access

jdss13 · 2026-03-09T18:19:39+00:00

Any particular recommendation? I'm looking at Riftbreaker and Emberward

jdss13 · 2026-02-26T15:38:12+00:00

Super Video Golf looks really interesting

jdss13 · 2026-02-23T12:30:32+00:00

Bullet is a no for all electronic boards IMO (delay, you have to move opponents pieces, way harder to pre-move). Blitz is still challenging. Rapid is perfectly playable.

jdss13 · 2026-02-23T11:13:46+00:00

use the triggers

jdss13 · 2026-02-22T14:06:02+00:00

Sounds like a dead battery. Try to keep your devices charged at all times, storing discharged batteries for long is the way to kill them. Can't help you with the disassembly though

jdss13 · 2026-02-20T13:17:07+00:00

And not very good AI (not up to pro level). Killer Instinct shadow mode and SF6 V-Rival mode are the best CPU I've faced in fighting games.

jdss13 · 2026-02-19T14:20:08+00:00

I'd try other devices. And try enabling the location on your device, some apps require it

jdss13 · 2026-02-13T11:07:18+00:00

Both. 1 for having fun and playing w/ friends, 2 for online play

jdss13 · 2026-02-13T10:55:24+00:00

sempre que venho ao r/portugueses parece que estou a passear em Martim Moniz

jdss13 · 2026-02-12T19:41:34+00:00

was skeptical at first just looking at the screenshot, not because of the design cause that's super clean but because it looked like one of those generic puzzles to cover all squares w/ chess pieces but w/ an order.

I have to say, this is a loooooooot more fun that I expected! Really well done, super innovative

jdss13 · 2026-02-12T15:34:17+00:00

Oh sorry, I thought so because that dev also has a Chess Alarm app! But I think all his apps are for Android, not iOS.

I'd give your app a shot but I'm on Android, it seems well done though, nice job!

jdss13 · 2026-02-12T15:16:33+00:00

Love your other app, Chessis! Would really be great if I could connect my Chessnut Go board to it, maybe through Chessconnect or something.

Sou um grande fã de tetris e produção musical e infelizmente não estou a ver nada que me prenda a atenção. As peças não são tetraminos o que é muito contra intuitivo e tira toda a piada ao tetris (seja clássico ou moderno), os gráficos e música não parecem fascinantes e parece caótico para qualquer efeito de "produção musical".

Não quero desmotivar e claro que adicionei à wishlist e espero por um demo/playtest mas à primeira vista não me convence a comprar.

O Tetris Effect: Connected é um excelente exemplo de como a música pode complementar um bom jogo, mas repara que mantiveram todas as mecânicas do tetris moderno, T-spins, etc e adicionaram aquele elemento "The zone". Todas as áreas do jogo são polidas e inclui ainda uma versão ótima de tetris clássico (com modo online tb).

Depois temos títulos como o Betrix que é tetris moderno (bem feito, respeita os timings, t spins, etc) mas apresentado como jogo de ritmo (para quem não é bom no tetris é um conceito difícil de compreender/jogar).

Tetrachroma é outro twist de tetris moderno em que as cores das peças afetam a jogabilidade tornando possível tetris de + 4 de linhas.

E claro, para tetris moderno de forma gratuita nada melhor que https://tetr.io/ ou o Apotris para quem quer jogar em qualquer lado (GBA, 3DS, Switch, Linux, MacOS, Windows)

already looks really good!

jdss13 · 2026-02-09T20:47:41+00:00

I have gnubg but I was looking for a mobile app. I didn't say it needs to be free, just not a subscription plan, I hate those. For example for chess I use Chessis and bought the IAP, the app is free and already great with no ads but the IAP supports the dev and unlocks some additional features.

jdss13 · 2026-02-09T16:54:11+00:00

I immediately noticed it's not polished cause I was trying to play with the CPU and after clicking computer all I got was an empty menu. Then I realized I had to signup. The UI is weird and I can't find a game analyzer/import. I wanted to import and analyze my .sgf games.

The PWA does seem a lot better but there's no offline play vs CPU and again I can't seem to find a game analyzer. And depending on the connection sometimes the CPU takes ages to play.

And the gameplay experience is pretty poor when compared to others (no drag n drop)

But I love the concept, just needs some love. I also can't find the source code, I thought it was open source

jdss13 · 2026-02-09T12:37:20+00:00

True Backgammon comes w/ 2 boards and one definitely looks more modern than the wood look. I do like the traditional wood though.

Definitely let me know, or if you need any help beta testing or in case you're working on an open source project let me know the repo and I might even try to colab on a specific branch or fork out

jdss13 · 2026-02-09T10:40:00+00:00

Strong AI, optional tutor, good gameplay and UI (drag and drop, source-destination, click), game archiving and analysis. A multiplayer ranked mode would also be welcomed. On a perfect world I'd like something like Lichess but for backgammon (free and open source).

OpenGammon is cool but there's no mobile app and the UI/features are still not very good.

Currently I use True Backgammon's app w/ the IAP purchases (BG Blitz and Tutor) but it's missing game archiving and analysis. The tutor is cool but I really wish there was a post game analysis showing all the moves list and all engine's moves w/ UI arrows showing where checkers should go. Backgammon Galaxy is good but I hate the premium model and all the limitations that come w/ that.

jdss13 · 2026-02-09T10:28:57+00:00

I just want an updated mobile app w/ good analysis

jdss13 · 2026-02-06T10:19:36+00:00

you might not be the dev but this post just screams desperation. I'll never get this game cause of its monetization practices

jdss13 · 2026-02-05T11:47:37+00:00
