In the tradition of office basketball where we make a basketball out of crumpled up paper and our baskets being garbage cans comes Toss It by Boolba Labs. Toss it eliminates two problems that generally happens when office basketball is being played: 1) The obscene waste of paper 2) The pointless attempts at telling your boss that you weren’t playing office basketball when they walk over and see 50 some odd balls of crumpled paper all over the floor.
The ODroid by Hardkernel, for those of you who forgot about this little device, is a handheld portable game console sporting the Android OS and looks like a PSP but with more buttons. You can also hook it up to your tv with 720p video output via HDMI should you want to show off your mad Farm Frenzy skills while at your buddy’s house.
Warpath by Synthetic Reality is a multiplayer (either human or bots) game that takes place in the future. You can play it as a strategy battle game or a simulation game that doesn’t end. You can colonize uninhabited planets, buy weapons and ships, shop, mine planet, fight and more. This game is still currently in development even though it’s on the market but is actually pretty solid right now with some good graphics and interactive gameplay.
As the name suggests this is another destruction/physics type game that was just released by Camel Games, a popular developer of physics games such as Shoot U!. Blow Up is similar to iDemolished with the fact that it’s a building destruction game that uses explosives to destroy buildings and uses gravity/physics for sway and building parts falling down…you can also blow up a Panda.
Well the Epic Press Conference just ended and it wasn’t really a long one either. A brief mention about the iPhone getting the Unreal Engine at some point soon was one announcement they made. Also they showed a game called APB (All Points Bulletin). However, any news about Android…didn’t happen.
Well all the RPG fanatics out there can have one more thing to rejoice about because Gamevil is planning to release it’s RPG hit game Zenonia to Android devices in March. If you think Gamevil sounds familiar, it is. That’s because they developed the widely popular games Baseball Superstars 2008 & 2009 as well as developing other popular games across other platforms such as the iPhone and WM.
In the spirit of line drawing games where you control an items path with the line you draw such as in Flight Director comes another game similar to it called Flight Frenzy by Big Fun Games. Like Flight Director, you control the fate of airships (and their passengers) by plotting a course for it to land safely while trying not to crash into the other airships you’re controlling.
Even while GDC is going on I can still manage to download and try out new games. One that just got onto the market is called Replica Island by Team Replica which is an open source 2D scrolling shooter game. Sort of like older Mega Man games but with our beloved Android instead of a blue child looking robot.
Unity Technologies revealed the third generation of its development platform with several new updates, and expanded its list of supported platforms to include PlayStation 3, iPad, and Android.
Even though this isn’t directly related to a particular game, it’s important because it helps every game developer out there developing games for Android. Google announces NDK r3 for Android and the main deal with this revision is about OpenGL ES access for developers.
