iPhone, iPad Gone Wild: Six Alternative Online Multiplayer Game Recommendations | Love Internet - Sharing Curious and Cool Websites of the Internet, New Games and Fun Software

Caption: "Bring your iPhone to duel!"

Is there anything else unclear?

Obviously, this is not a one-person-one-screen "primitive battle" mode; otherwise, the iPad would only have its 9.7-inch face for nothing. To fully utilize this "big face," let the iPhone no longer feel inferior about its "small face" during battles. The iPhone leverages its own advantages by transforming into a controller with a screen; the iPad plays to its "big face" advantage, turning into a TV screen - the main screen. This combination can not only make up for the regret of "hands covering the screen" when playing games on a full touchscreen but also complete more complex and interesting operations using the iPhone's built-in gyroscope, accelerometer, Bluetooth, and other devices.

What are you waiting for? Grab your iPhone and iPad and start the multiplayer gaming! iPad turns into a word-filling board

Game Name: ScrabbleForiPad

Game Type: Word game

Cooperative Combat Quantity: 4 iPhones This is a "wonderful game" that can simultaneously get four people to take out their phones and use up the last bit of battery.

In fact, before this, I personally didn't care much about playing word games on a phone because I thought word games printed in newspapers were easier to invite more friends to participate in solving puzzles together — as the saying goes, three cobblers with their wits combined equal Zhuge Liang, the master mind! But this time, ScrabbleForiPad boldly attempts to let four players connect via four (a maximum of four) iPhones and one iPad for cooperative gameplay. This new way of playing word games while sitting cross-legged on the floor in a "three missing one" style made me extremely excited!

ScrabbleForiPad is a word game played on a 15x15 square grid. Two (since it's a competition, one person can't play alone) to four players participate in forming words to score points. Players choose suitable letters from the "word bank" on the iPhone screen, and the selected letters "fly into" the main screen iPad. When the iPad serves as the racetrack for car racing

Game Name: PadRacer

Game Type: Racing game

Cooperative Combat Quantity: 4 iPhones This looks like playing the classic NES console, reminiscing about an era where someone was always in a "waiting" state. In today's age filled with online games, should we still need "waiting"? Just log in to play.

To allow players to clearly see the racetrack on the iPad, PadRacer limits the number of players to four. Otherwise, too many people surrounding the iPad might make it overly crowded. This means the "waiting" state still exists.

This multiplayer racing game called PadRacer makes the iPad the "central racetrack." Players control their respective cars with their iPhones, racing wildly on the iPad. The connection between the iPhone as a controller and the iPad is established through Bluetooth or WiFi, using the iPhone's accelerometer to control the car's direction. iPad becomes a ping pong table

Game Name: PingPongBattle

Game Type: Sports competition game

Cooperative Combat Quantity: 2 iPhones Turns out tablet phones can really be used as paddles!

PingPongBattle tells us that the iPhone can also play spin balls. The biggest difficulty in playing this game is that you must at least simultaneously own two iPhones and one iPad. During the game, when hitting the ball, the iPhone will receive feedback — a "pound" sound, feeling very realistic. Just like playing real-life ping pong, you need to carefully listen to the sound of the ball flying towards you and then gently flick your paddle to hit a great spin shot. It is suggested that when playing this game, you put a protective case on your iPhone to prevent it from slipping out of your hand and flying straight into the opponent's face.

In the connection between the iPhone and the iPad, you must adopt a unified connection method, such as letting both iPhones connect to the iPad simultaneously via WiFi or through Bluetooth. Otherwise, there may be issues with constant disconnections. iPad becomes a dartboard

Game Name: KLDartboard

Game Type: Sports competition game

Cooperative Combat Quantity: At least 1 iPhone This is a game judged by "throwing accuracy"! KLDartboard allows us to use the iPhone not in the traditional "grip" position, but in a "pinch" posture for gaming.

After successfully connecting the iPhone to the iPad, a dartboard will appear on the 9.7-inch iPad screen, and the iPhone in your hand will become the "dart." Not only can it display the number of darts, but when you "throw the iPhone," it will emit a "whoosh" sound. Then, the iPhone will automatically determine the trajectory of the dart through its accelerometer and sensors. Some friends who have played KLDartboard revealed that for strong male players, the forceful "throwing of the iPhone" during exciting moments could lead to losing grip on the iPhone, and due to previously aiming at the iPad, they will 100% hit the iPad's big face. Therefore, it is recommended that players tie a rope to the iPhone and secure it to their hand to avoid dropping it.

Its installation method is somewhat unique, requiring the main KLDartboard program to be installed on the iPad first and the KLDarts or KLDartsPro software on the iPhone. Then, establish communication between the iPad and iPhone via Bluetooth wireless connection. iPad becomes a windshield

Game Name: Chopper

Game Type: Flight simulation game

Cooperative Combat Quantity: At least 1 iPhone This game feels like piloting an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

When playing Chopper, the iPad will display information such as the plane's altitude, ammunition quantity, enemy numbers, and direction, similar to the F22 games we used to play. But what's truly amazing is its controller — the iPhone. By shaking the iPhone (please note, it's shaking, not pressing the direction keys violently, which is already outdated), you can control the helicopter's height, flight angle, and direction. This feels just like Bond driving a remote-controlled car in James Bond movies.

Of course, while experiencing such cool settings, don't forget the purpose of the game, which is to rescue hostages! This game also connects the iPad via Bluetooth to an iPhone or iPod Touch for control.
