NerfGames drops some retro gaming love onto Android with Avoid

b_500_274_16777215_0___images_stories_news_avoid_Avoid-android-game.jpg

Our friends over at NerfGames have informed us that they have made the leap from console games onto Android with their first title being a retro-styled game called Avoid. Originally available through Xbox Live, Avoid is an interesting game where you have to avoid blocks that are coming at you from all angles.

While the premise of the game is simple, avoid the incoming blocks from hitting your own block, it is not as easy as it sounds. The simplicity of this game also makes it rather addicting as well where you can easily find yourself playing for an hour without realizing it.

Features:

  • Nice retro graphics and gameplay
  • 3 gameplay modes: Collect, Marathon and Power
  • Xperia Play optimized controls
  • Very addictive

For fans of retro games, this would definitely be one to consider adding to your collection. It definitely brings back memories of how old school console and arcade games used to be fun and you could sit and play for hours without noticing the time going by. Avoid comes in two flavors on the Android Market, a free lite version for you to try out and a Full version for $0.99. NerfGames have a few other titles under their belts which we will hopefully see make their way onto Android soon as well, especially Actuate.
