b_500_274_16777215_0___images_stories_news_meganoid_meganoid-android-game.png

Meganoid is a retro-styled platform game with all sorts of goodies included. Brought to us by the ever awesome crew at OrangePixel who tend to make some of the best retro-style games for Android. Your goal is to get through each stage and collect the gems, except half of them are hidden (at least it feels that way)!

OrangePixel has developed some pretty interesting new features with OpenFeint which are debuting in this game. The main one being Friend-Avatars which, when you get people to play the game, they will actually start showing up in the game world with hints and extra diamonds for extra lives!

Features:

  • 40 initial levels with 60 more coming in an update
  • Tons of achievements to unlock
  • Awesome retro-style 8bit graphics, chiptunes and sound effects
  • Star ratings for finishing levels within a certain amount of time
  • Friend-avatars

 

This is definitely not an easy game though and generally, each stage will will take a few tries to complete, especially if you are looking for all the diamonds in each stage. You have plenty of obstacles to overcome as well. Of course if you enjoy retro-style games, this is something you'll definitely want to check out.

You can grab Meganoid off the Android Market for the high price of free! Official press release included below for your reading enjoyment.
