A few days back we posted about a game we found and tried out called SheepRun which seems to be a mix of physics and Lemmings style gameplay. Aside from the fact it was a pretty interested game (still in beta) the main thing that caught our eye was the user interface which looked ridiculously like Angry Birds’ user interface, so we shot off an email to Rovio.
In our previous post below about a game called SheepRun, we mentioned that it has MoboSquare integrated into it. Not having heard of MoboSquare, we decided to look into it. What we found was actually pretty interesting. Having never been a fan of check-in services like Foursquare personally, MoboSquare is basically Foursquare… for apps and games.
Mix physics gameplay, Lemmings style gaming, and an Angry Birds-like user interface elements and what do you get? SheepRun! Developed by the curiously named FingerFantasy, SheepRun looks like it would have been developed by Rovio due to the user interface; however, similarities end there in this unique game.
Sifting through the Android Market as I usually do in the mornings, looking for new games to try out, I noticed one called Androminion. At first I wasn’t going to take a look at it but for whatever reason I decided otherwise. Developed by Ankur Mehta, Androminion is the Android version of the award winning strategy card game, Dominion.
A little over three years ago Android came to public light and I went and got myself a G1. Only a couple of weeks after that I found a game called Dungeon Wonders which is a JRPG game, one of the first RPG games for Android. After a few updates with bug fixes and more content the updates grew less until it seemed it was only bug fixes here and there.
This may cause an upswing in mediocre games being brought to the Android Market, it may not. It could bring a lot of cool retro-ish type games instead but for right now there is no way to tell. One thing is for sure though, it will be interesting to see what comes out of YoYo Games’ drag-and-drop game development program called Game Maker which will soon support Android.
Seems like Stonetrip’s ShiVa3D Engine is being boosted yet again even after a recent update with a slew of new features. Stonetrip and Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) have announced a partnership regarding game development on mobile platforms that are powered by the OMAP 3 platform.
More and more top quality games seem to be making the jump to Android lately and all of us couldn’t be happier. Today is no different as award winning game (Best Mobile Game of Swedish Game Awards 2010) Phoenix Spirit is coming to Android. Developered by Spearhead Entertainment, this game combines shooter style gaming with a platformer.
ARM’s promise with Cortex A-9 chips has been tremendous. Will they really keep up with modern games, especially the pace there moving at today? Not only does it support the newest CPU’s available, similar to the ones’s Samsung is working on. It will also include a much improved (and needed) GPU improvement for video quality in games, this will be likely on tablets and high-end smartphones.
Being dubbed as a “Real Bullet-curtain STG arcade game for Android” by developer AblazeDream, AdventRush is a fast-paced space shooting game where you spend almost as much time dodging an array of bullets coming at your from enemies as you do actually shooting at them. You also get to pick up a gratuitous amount of coins and power-ups.
