Following the growing trend of publishers offering up development funds for mobile game developers, Kongregate has announced their own development fund to the tune of $10 million dollars to help mobile game developers finish their games and help get them much needed exposure across iOS and Android.
The folks at Firemonkeys have released a new developer diary video which this time talks about the multiplayer functionality that will be arriving with Real Racing 3. The multiplayer mode, called Time Shift Multiplayer, will allow players to race against other people anyone, anytime and even if they are offline.
A new free-to-play top-down shooter has arrived on Google Play called Guns 4 Hire. In a world where illegal guns run rampant, crime lords and dictators do unspeakable things, only the toughest of people can take these evil people head-on and luckily you’ll be controlling a squad of the toughest mercenaries to do exactly that.
One of my favorite types of games is word games and there are plenty of them in the Android market. Today I have two relatively new ones for all you wordsmiths out there. So get your Dictionaries and Thesauruses ready if you snag either of these games off of Google Play.
Craneballs Studios has a sequel on the way for their gun saturated FPS game Overkill. Appropriately named Overkill 2, this sequel will once again come with a ridiculous amount of weapons to play around with and customize in order to properly take out your enemies with. However, if you want to get a head start with Overkill 2, there is a way you can nab yourself a free gun.
In terms of content OUYA seems to keep on growing bigger and bigger. While not all of the games submitted during OUYA’s CREATE contest will be made into full titles for us to play, there are still plenty of them that will become full titles and there are plenty of developers outside of the CREATE contest working on games for the Android powered console.
Noodlecake Studios, creators of such games as Happy Jump and Trainyard, have released another game onto the unsuspecting masses called Zombie Road Trip. The game is straightforward and to the point. You’re in a car, and a horde of hungry zombies who can apparently run really fast are chasing you. I mean really fast.
Refresh Creations has released Super Grid Run, a quick and simple game which involves you navigating a cube through endless corridors of neon perils and pickups, onto the Google Play Store. Controls are simple, tap to move your floating neon cube and dodge retro looking neon walls for as long as you can.
A few days ago, HeroCraft released a new game onto Google Play called Jail Run. This is a decent little puzzle game where you grab loot and avoid traps in a bid to escape the dungeon you’re held captive in. We covered it in our latest Under the Radar column a few days ago.
