    Not really a platformer. It's more of an adventure game. It has some of the adventure elements of, say, Metroid, but that's its focus, not action. There's no option for d-pad, but trust me, the controls work really well. It's a methodical game, and though I personally thought it was amazing for an iOS game, it's definitely not for everyone.

    Now that I'm busy with a new full-time job, I hardly have the time to dive into my beloved iOS gaming as much as I'd like.

    10000000 is the perfect game for me right now because it's got that persistent RPG level progression I crave, but it's fun and bite-sized. I can play it for a couple of minutes during a break and feel like I'm making progress.

    Can you guys recommend any other similar bite-sized RPG-like games that are easy to play for a minute or two? I loved King Cashing, and I already have Dungeon Raid and Tower of Fortune.

    I never thought I'd say this, but these days, I'm just looking for those short RPG-type experiences and a game I can actually finish! Thinking about getting ORC: Vengeance sometime as well. Thanks!

    Maybe also Sword and Poker 2. It's not a bite sized game, but you play in bite sized pieces -- it's portrait and saves after every move, so you can bite size it as much as you want. (e.g., perfect for playing on the bowl!)

    I second this question. However, I'm looking for a more typical JRPG with experience/character building but played in Portrait mode. Something like Final Fantasy turned 90 degrees. Do any of you have good suggestions?

    I've downloaded RPG Quest - Minimae, but it doesn't have experience or reason to keep grinding. And I'm thinking about getting Kyle's Quest 2, but not sure if that will be experience-based either. I also have The Quest, but unfortunately that isn't styled in a FF JRPG way.

    I'll also be trying 10000000 at some point, but I'm really more in the mood for a traditional JRPG... that I can play in portrait so it looks like I'm just checking my calendar or something!

    Please let me know if you have any ideas!

    Thanks ;)

    I need something for my good ol' second gen that either:
    -Has artistic value as great as or better than the art in Kometen
    Or
    -Has musical value as great as or better than the music in superbrothers s&s

    Something where it's less of a game and more of a visual or musical experience.

    I'm looking for a game for my iPhone that meets the following criteria:

    -Played in portrait mode
    -Does not require a pause button to stop playing
    -Easy to come back to

    As an example: Dungeon Raid is perfect

    Um... A game where you do nothing wouldn't be much of a game, no? ;)
