Online Spill Market

Online Spill is more of an application then a game as it’s an Android Alternative Market app (listed in the games section) that deals strictly in games. You can purchase the full version of some big named titles like Sims 3, Guitar Hero World Tour, Bejeweled just to name a few. However, this is strictly geared towards Norwegian Android owners since you need to have a Norwegian Sim Card in your phone to use it.

LineUp by LabPixies

Block Breaking games (tap a block that has 3 or more matching colored adjacent to it) don’t really stand out in quality usually however LineUp by LabPixies is one of the few exceptions. It’s been out for just over a month on the Android market and it’s too bad I just found it now because it was updated instead of when it was released.

Better Game Promotion

This isn’t to say I know everything there is to know about when it comes to promoting your game but as a developer myself, I do have a few tips to game developers (and developers of apps as well) that will certainly help promote your game and probably make a difference in whether or not someone buys/downloads your game.

Shadow Zone

Shadow Zone by NewGround is a turn based strategy game set in 1986 when Chernobyl’s 4th block has an accidental nuclear explosion and the area is sealed off. This game boasts 40+ hours of game play so it’s definitely not a short game you’ll be done with in a couple of hours. I actually stumbled onto this game looking for something completely different but I’ve been pleasantly surprised.
