[REQ] Music/Rythym game?

First of all I hope this is in the right section.
I was hoping to find some awesome music/rythym games later in the Android Market.
Well, it's been about over a year since Android was released, and I still see a lack of good rythym games!
My request is for a developer to try their best and create a well-designed music game, hopefully using our own music from the SD card..
That would be awesome!

Do you mean like this?

Id like to see multitouch implemented somewhere in one of these games ...

No, I know this is on the market, but we need something better.
Guitar Hero mobile for Android wasn't exactly the best experience I've had.

I have been asking for this game to come to Android since I got my G1. Mainly looking for the NIN Edition!
http://tapulous.com/
Even sent them a request, but so far nothing has come of it. I recommend everybody request it, If there is enough support they might port it.

Can't post links yet, but this is the original thread starting from last year, stating that if theres enough demand, they'll try to port it.

some of you may have played it before but this is a steam game called Audiosurf

a game like this would be awesome on the nexus... basically it produces a unique track based off of each song for that song and its a sort of tetris game where you have to match the blocks up and such... was well worth 10 dollars on steam when it first dropped, i had countless hours of obsessed fun on the thing

That's a very good game, but it needs to ne refined more. But we REALLY need a game like TTR or Audiosurf, I have nothing against taps of fire, but I don't like playing on amazing. Too much for my thumbs.

Here is the link for tap tap revenge:

Everybody should request it so we can get it ported.

In the mean time, I found this:
http://code.google.com/p/tapsoffire/
Somebody mentioned it in this thread already, but I searched the market for it, but it didn't appear. It probably wasn't designed for the Nexus so it didn't show up, but there is a Droid version available from the Google code page. Free and open source!

One of the best music games is Taps of Fire. I have it installed, I recommend others to download this app too, only bad thing is having to hit the notes a little early, but its fine.

[REQ] [APP] Runescape App for Android/Nexus One

Hey guys,
With the amazing specs of the Nexus One, and the JIT compiler of Froyo, I was wondering if there was some way that the open source client for Runescape could be ported to Android. I know, Runescape isn't that great of a game, and i agree. I would definitely play it on the go. Everyone could enjoy a multi million MMORPG on the go, that's fully developed. I believe it could be perfect for Androids. Thanks in advance.
Open source client - http://www.runescape.com/kbase/guid/Downloads_and_Wallpapers

id be willing to help in any possible way.

It could be possible, seeing as it's Java powered. I'm not much of a developer though, so I can't say for sure.

yeah my thoughts exactly, wonder if any developers are willing.

Uh, this would be so awesome

im intrested to
im intrested to and with tegra2 hummingbird etc this should run pretty smooth if not seamless.
i have the nexus S/nexus one and i have minor development skills so ill chip in any way i possibly can.

Would also love to see monkeyball ported to android I loved that game.

It looks like this thread has been stale for a while, has there been any progress?

I don't know but I would like to see this happen so I posted the link to this thread on the main android games thread so more people will see it.

game client converstion
not to rain on your guys parade or anything, but even if we were able to get the Game Client converted, that doesnt have anything to do with playing the game. The game client is something you download so you dont have to use your internet browser to play the game. thats all it does, you arent "downloading" the game or source for it
But on the bright side, i have been looking into how to play rs on your phone without the need for remote desktop

btw if you wanted to, you could do an emulator until the game does get ported over =P about as close as we can get for now

Support : D

Any Civilization type games?

Anyone know of any games like Civilization? Obviously I'm not expecting anything that deep or polished, but something similar would be great. Granted, it could possibly cause me to get fired... "Sorry boss, I'll get the phone right after this turn!"

IIRC Freeciv has an ongoing port to Android. Still not out, but something to look forward to.

Revival 2 which you can find on the market.

searching for revival in the market brings some corporate management stuff, no civ like game...

Pirates and Traders... sort of. You only control a single ship though.

FreeCol is a free colonization clone (very similar to FreeCiv) but it is already written in Java (you can even download a .jar version of the game).
I am curious how difficult it would be to port it to android.
Sadly, there seems to be no concerted effort for any of these ports.

I tried playing the PSX version of civilization 2 but damn it hadn't aged well, that and the PSX version sucks. It plays well on the emulator on my Galaxy X Vibrant though

THAT is a travesty.
It has about as much to do with the original game as the foot that I am going to plant in this game's developer's ass.

Not exactly Civ, but I've found Never To Be Konkered to be quite fun. You choose a nation and start out with one or more cities. Then you build units, upgrade your city with new buildings etc and wage war on your neighbors.
It doesn't in any way have as many features as the Civ-series, but still pretty deep gameplay.

Searching for a real civ... at least the original 1...
here are the links to games mentioned above:
Revival 2: Full | demo
Pirates and Traders: Full | demo
Never to be Konkered: Full | Demo
I'd add - if you liked theme hospital or theme park, you'll love this (at least I do):

Anyone tried this yet?
Found this on the Freeciv forums:
http://forum.freeciv.org/viewtopic.php?t=6347&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
Really looking forward to playing this and Colonization would be an excellent game for mobile too.

You can find a beta of freeciv for Android it was released a few days ago.

Its only a pre-release but its playable

May be Townsmen 6, have you try ?

Xperia Play hits 400 games, and I've created a website to database them all!

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is a very big deal for smartphone gaming. As a previous iDevice owner who noticed the potential for games on smartphones was exploding, it was pretty sad to see that that growth was stifled by touch-screen controls limiting what we can do and how deep a smartphone game is allowed to be.
We've seen physical gamepad solutions try to get smartphone gaming out of the "touch-screen gaming ghetto," devices such as the iControlPad, Gametel Controller and 60Beat controller... and they've all had such poor software support that they've pretty much failed to be anything more than emulator assistants.
That is, until the Xperia Play came along last year.
While it may have been initially written off by those who (incorrectly) presumed it's specs wouldn't be able to handle newer games, Xperia Play's picked up loads of momentum since it's release, got tons of AAA developer names backing it (such as Rockstar, Namco, Square Enix, EA, Sega, etc), got every benchmark gaming title on the platform under it's belt, and grew from an initial 40-60 games to 400 faster than any button-based gaming handheld in the entire history of gaming.
And I'm here to provide a database for Xperia Play gamers worldwide that databases them all!
XPERIA PLAY GAMER | ENTER
A big thanks to those who helped donate!

It also features a mobile version that serves as an multi-market integrated method of linking directly to the specific Xperia PLAY version of any given game. You won't have to worry about whether you need to go to the EA Flexion Store, Gameloft Wapshop or find the specific version in the Google Play Store because I've taken care of all that - I sort of anticipate that this mobile version will become even more valuable than the desktop site.

TLRtheory said:
http://xevon.awardspace.com/xperiaplaygamer
As you can tell, this is a very rough project.
The database is only half done, things are very messy if you aren't using Google Chrome (especially on IE), a lot of the sorting options don't work yet, many functions aren't implemented and that may not even be it's permanent address.
But what it's planned to be is a completely Xperia PLAY centralized site that's major focus is to show what the Xperia PLAY brings to the table.
The Xperia PLAY game list I've created seems to have caught quite a bit of attention and made something of an impact, but the way it's designed means it can't possibly accommodate more than 400 games - this site will showcase everything, link to video media, offer a complete forum for each and every game as well as display Xperia PLAY-oriented articles (such as showing how drastic the percentage growth of Xperia PLAY games has been since launch, showing how it can run games like Dead Space just as well as dual-core devices such as the Galaxy S2, noting how it's the only current handheld gaming system that has an overwhelming majority of it's games rating higher than lower, and so on). It'll also feature a mobile version so people looking to get non-market games will have no hassle.
As one could indicate, it's not even close to being done. About all you can do now is play with the scrolling featured games list and click on "GAMES" to display the complete list of games. But feel free to offer comments/suggestions.

Its looking great and I love the concept. Thank you for your support and dedication, I am really excited to see the site when its gets going.

Nice website man. Can't wait until it's finished

Nice to see another dedicated site. I regularly check http://www.xperiagamer.com and will definitely be bookmarking yours too

Most delicious.

Looks great so far!

Thanks for all the kind words! The project's progressing rather quickly, but at the same time it's far from being what I want it to be. Everything's being coded from scratch so I move slowly, but get more control over how this progresses.
I just wanna play a little awareness-raising game; it's quite a shocker to be on engadget or such, and every time Xperia PLAY is brought up, you see someone who's amazed to find out that it's grown from a couple tens to hundreds of games in such a short time.
So I figured the best way to illustrate it is by hitting them in the face with a huge patchwork of games. Glad to see you like it so far.

May I suggest using Drupal to do the website? It's so much faster and easier...
I can even help you with if you decide to do it.

Cool.
You know what would make it even better. If you upload some psxperia games to the website.
There are a lot of noobs like me who just can't get the psxperia tool to work.

Yeah, that and I'm sort of going for a theme here where I keep it *pure*.
That means no PSX, no emulators, not even OnLive. I'm trying to show that Xperia PLAY's game library has a large quantity of quality releases without having to piggyback off systems of past generations.

Interesting idea, I am a little bit surprised about no OnLive (maybe you could just add a forum for emulators/OnLive (then again, there could be a problem with people requesting games they don't own, and all the legal ramifications that could include))

Oh sorry mybad.

thanks for sharing~

sorry, i don't wont to be rude, but the code of your site is orrible, with a lot of very stupid error: for example you don't have the html tag or the doctype tag, but the main problem is that you use a lot of deprecated tag such as center or font (and probably this is the problem because the site look well only in Google Chrome).
ps: sorry for my bad English

...did you miss the part about it being incomplete? I know what's messy, what's missing and what I need to do before this is clean, organized and standardized... and well beyond anything you've told me, at that. What you see there is likely not even gonna be the final layout, it was thrown together very hurriedly just so that a frame would exist for the database to output to.

I'll definitely be giving them their due attention, but I'm treating OnLive in the same regard as I do an emulator since that's essentially what it is.

Nah, only one of the links are clickable sans subcategories. I got a huge list of things I know needs to be fixed after I've finished off the database, I just posted a bit so people could get a preview since the "patchwork of games" is definitely the major theme of that site.
EDIT: ...and it seems a couple thousand visits in, my traffic's overloaded. I'll prob just buy a damn domain.

Thanks so much for this man!!! Brilliant!

nice site, always glad to see people taking interest in our phone!
with onLive! i agree and disagree. it is basically an "emulator" but its one that you could play Dirt3 on your pc then when you are on the go you can pickup right where you left off on your phone and get nearly the same experience.
i still haven't tried onlive yet but as they keep making things smoother and hearing more feedback from the xperia play people, i might take the plunge, adds a lot of games to our phone

Like Minecraft merged with skyrim!

Hey XDA'ers,
Thought I would Share my recent discovery Block Story its like if minecraft and skyrim had a love affair and had a baby!
this game is just amazing, so far the developer support is amazing and they have even have a thread on their home site to add feature requests from the public. gameplay is fluid and the graphics are just beautiful, everything runs smooth on my SGS3 T999 with the optional settings maxed out it is just a beautiful game and with their newest update the amount of added content is nothing but impressive. gameplay is a mix between the block building style you have grown to love and addicted to, with the RPG element of leveling up skills and stats as well as armor and weaponry like skyrim. First introduction to the game is pretty standard to a RPG they give you the option to go through the tutorial which begins your quest and teaches you the skills of block building. The NPC are pretty great too its not those block mobs your used to but higher resolution models. all and all it is a impressive and creative approach to the basic block building genre.
check out this youtube link of the game and its feattures and show these devs some love

looks nice, but won't bother to try the little, would pay for the full version, if the market allowed another method different from credit card.

Looks great downloading now

Was free on the Amazon App Store like two weeks ago. Lots of features, but seriously lacks polish.

Thanks for the info. Looks like the amazon update lags behind the Play Store one, so I'm excited to see what's in store when the update hits. Lots of changes in the change log.

5.0.1 update should be posted for PC version sometime tonight, FYI. Desura may take a day or two to publish it

New update looks great! Can't wait to try it out.

The developer works really close with gamers on what different aspects they want in the game that alone is pretty impreseive

Is there a way to make Minecraft compatible with Linux Mint Sarah? I'd like to see!
