Android Gaming Thread New OP #1



The Android Gaming OP is rising from the ashes! Thanks to Nirolak for allowing me to be the new OP and helping to showcase the best of what Android gaming has to offer. This OP will be a repository for two things: the best games Gaffers are playing, as well as a showcase for games that our very own Gaffers have made. If you want a game to be featured, post in the thread or shoot me a PM. I'll do my best to get as many in here as possible!

Game: Voyage to Farland (FREE) (Click for Android Market link)

What kind of game is this? Well, if you’re looking for an easy RPG with a nice story, “Voyage to Farland” probably isn’t the game for you. But if you like the "Mystery Dungeon" games and want a game that will kick your butt repeatedly (in humorous ways) yet keep you coming back for more, then you'll love “Voyage to Farland”! It's a modern take on a classic roleplay game formula.

Awesome awesome thread.

My X comes in next weekend, so I'll have to visit this regularly. Now, the phone won't be a primary game device for me (I plan on the 3DS to cover the majority of my gaming needs), but I will keep an eye out for bite sized stuff I can play maybe 5 minutes at a time.

It's funny though, the contrasting color schemes that match their respective platforms. Dock's original fits right into the iphone's very colorful, playful iOS; and of course this particular version being on Droid...well, it's obvious.

It really isn't. unless dock has the rights to the game concept and every level in the game. It is a clone but seeing as dock hasn't made an android version himself its to be expected.

Well he wouldn't own the rights to the concept, but he does own the rights to every single level in his game. That's how copyright laws work. It's plagiarism no matter how you cut it.

OP should have made mention of thread rules, like pics and description - maybe codes to lookup these games, or a website. This thread could potentially get messy.

Here are a couple popular ones:

Need for Speed Shift:



available on the appstore.

Asphalt 5:



and too, available on the appstore

simple game where you tap the screen to et spider man to release his web and land on the platform, as the game progresses the height of the platforms to land on changes and the levels of gravity and wind changes to affect momentum. Gets quite addictive

I played the Shift demo on an X recently. Played fine for a stripped down, simpler race sim. Visuals were pretty amazing and the framerate was better than the console versions :lol

And yeah, I'd imagine Gameloft direct games are fine. They're still Android games afterall.



Zenonia:

A Zelda/Secret of Mana type RPG



Available on the market.










Also, I highly recommend that folks check out androlib.com in order to search the android market without having to use your phone. Since you're already on a PC/MAC reading this thread, it'll help finding info on a particular game faster.

... which is weird, considering Google is the king of search.

All applications really need to be centralized to the Android Market like on iOS. Having the potential for multiple sources loses more in simplicity than it gains in flexibility, kind of like the Android OS in general.

Still, it has its own advantages, too, like Google Maps's turn-by-turn voice navigation and a favorite of mine, keyboards with a Dragon Dictation button which enables voice dictation into any text box in any application.
