Official unofficial Amazon app of the day thread - Thunderbolt General

So, I know this has gone on in other forums, but I figured Id start it here. Ill post the app of the day(Or someone else if they get to it first).
Todays app is Pac-Man! CLASSIC!
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004SI436C/ref=cm_cr_mts_prod_img

Anyone else surprised it was the real Pac Man and not some cheap ripoff?

I put sooooo many quarters in that machine when I was a kid. I wonder how much more money my folks coulda retired on if they had invested all that coin instead of letting me throw it away lol

Amazon doesn't really do cheap ripoffs.

I'm not sure I'd trust myself playing that. I used to almost rip the joystick out of those machines when needing to change directions quickly.

love this game

What would make you think it would be a cheap rip off? Other apps of the day have never been as such:
Real angry birds
Real fruit ninja
Real plants vs zombies

+100000! I miss tabletop Pac Man too (and Ms. Pac Man.)

Actually it wasn't because of Amazon releasing Pac Man that made me ask that but rather the crazy number of Pac Man ripoffs that are out there on every system since Atari days. Hah and yeah I know, I have like 60 apps from Amazon now, some of them being $5-10 apps. They haven't been cheap in any way to us.

Todays terrible offering is a task killer...

Please someone port fieldrunners on android

PLease port it guys im dieing to get it
yeah I dont think people can port that unless it is from the developers themselves bc we can get in a lot of trouble if we do, you should message the creators of the game

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
yah only thing i love about the iphone is games thats it, but there bringing good games over like cut the rope very soon. but idk about fieldrunners i think its an ios exclusive
Robo defense is very similar....
I wrote subatomic studios a very professional email about porting Fieldrunners to Android. I pointed out a lot of stats regarding the success of Android. (like they don't know anyway...)
I haven't heard back from them after a few months.
I've played robo defense and it's not nearly as good.
they have a bunch of similar games on the android like robo defense which was mentioned before i think its called tower defense is one too u just gotta look for em
just get an ipod, thats what I have...
Little piece of apple. without the horrible signal and ugly prices.
i have Robo defense its just not as polished as field-runners but it is still really good
The other way u can do it is have a friend do it for u but u can't upload it so no gets in trouble just giving ideas

I haven't played it yet but I think the game "shadowgun" has the best visuals of a game out right now. Its not free though.
Shadow gun is dope and looks like gears of war game play is very similar to it also check it out its pretty cool:thumbup:
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk
Yeah, shadow gun looks pretty good...but I dont think it is worth 5 bucks! I'd rather donate to a dev here than that...zz will prolly try it out if I can't find any other good ones
Thanks for the suggestion though...no other games huh?
I bought shadow gun and its fun to show off and awesome on the tablet especially but I'm not more than five minutes in. Just doesn't pull me. I don't game much on mobile these days tbh. I'd most want to play an RTS but there arent many.

I actually want some games to really show off the performance on this phone...u know...but at the same time, i want some generic games that all people might be interested in
am looking forward to more suggestions guys

You guys should try this thing called "onlive". It streams current Gen games to your phone. You can use it on your pc to but I was using it on my captivate. Barely any lag. It matters on your net speed, not processor. It blew my mind. Nice to show off to friends.

Shadowgun shows off some good graphics and it's similar to Gears of Wars style.

ok...a quick review of games that i have tried on so far...
shadowgun--absolutely worth the 5 bucks that we pay, and also awesome graphics
spirit--fun and looks gud on big screen
Asphalt was good too
shine runner--nice graphics, but the game gets monotonous after a while
Flick Soccer--really good if u r a soccer fan, an absolute time killer
Shadowgun, Dead Space and GTA3 are beasts. Worth the $$. I am a sucker for World of Goo though. So good
check out Gun Bros!

Whos idea were these "free games"?

All of these games that are "free" but when you play them the gold is crazy priced.
Blood and glory.
DH3.
Order and Chaos(Not free but same idea).
Gun Bros.
Six Guns.
And I am sure there are plenty more that I just haven't found yet.
Add six guns to that list as well. I actually ended up using my credit card on the damn thing to buy the currency.
Nothing is really free in this world it seems...lol

TF2 started all of this!
And in Blood and Glory you cant even kill the first guy. Crazy.
You also notice that lots of these games have posts on Google Play and Amazon App Store of people who have paid money for extra stuff and they never get it. I just wish that developers of these games wouldn't be so greedy.

The devs work their arses off. How do you expect them to carry on if you're all so (can't honor for the word)?

yes but telling that game is free and then wanting money from user in the middle of it to get to the next level is simply fraud.
They should really stop using word free and come up with different term to call these games that force you to pay or go away.

Exactly. I would MUCH rather pay $4.99-$9.99 for a complete game were you earn armor in game(Like a normal game) versus paying $99.99 for stupid credits.
I think its stupid. Cause i mean if they make their app cost then they shouldn'y add extra credits for money -.-
Those games should be named "pay-play" to know what is all about. I give the credit to the dev's and we all know that nothing is for free on this world. So be more transparent.

Then sell the game! For example, I would buy Airport City, which is a game like this. Around level 10, it becomes impossible to advance unless you spend money. And there's lots of reviews by people who spend money, but never get the credits.

Whenever I come across a game like this, it gets deleted right away. I understand that devs want to be compensated for their work and that's fine..but to me that's just deceitful. Tricky bastards.

exactly. blood and glory you can kill the first guy after the tutorial!
I actually love the games that do this. Although forcing the user to pay to play sucks.
I think Order and Chaos has a good system. 3 free months. Nothing in that game requires a purchase outside a subscription... but you can buy gold to get a head start on higher end weapons. But gold is just 1000 silver, so you really don't need to buy it.
This is how it should be for all games. Even apps like Photoshop. Free core then charge for brushes and filters.
Games could also offer sections of the game, like a gate pass, to let you to other sections.
I'd rather pay to play then buy a full game that sucks. I can pay what I want and skip the rest.

Its not about forcing us too play its the old drug dealer method of "here have this sample of our great new drug" but when your hooked the next one is $100. Its just the fact that they don't tell you up front that its a limited demo "Freemium" unless you purchase updates in app.
The really should call it "Shareware" because that's kind of the motto they work on

When will people learn that ANY developer making anything on Android is a pain in the ass for them. Yes iOS gets more updates but that's because they are developing for a very small number of phones. Anyone got a count of the total number of Android phones, me thinks it might be a f'in lot!
1.8 GB? Is it really that great?

I can deal with them releasing the games waaaay latter than iOS even if its dumb... but a quick glance at their facebook page, they have deals on games, majority of the time almost newly released, whereas nothing for android.

Yeah...bought and refunded...Didn't seem worth the $0.25 for the size and gameplay.
I got stuck with the purchase, didn't play it with enough time to see how not worth the 25cents it was.
Maybe when playing it on a tablet it'll be better. But it feels so cluttered too Mich on screen, camera right behind batman.

More than worth it!
Excellent graphics, sound, voice acting and controls. High resolution textures take up a lot of space but definitely worth it. Would like to see more variety in combat. $0.25 is a must buy, even to just show off the graphics.
Use the six axis app and create a touch profile. I use it for almost all my games on my galaxy tab.

My Little Pony Friendship is Magic (AVAILABLE NOW, FREE!)

Yeah so... I might be the only person here who's looking forward to this game. There's no official release date available yet, but Gameloft has announced that it will be available 'later this year' and will be on both iOS and Android.
From what I can tell it looks to be a city builder type game. Playing mini games to earn points, then using those points to buy houses, ponies, items...so on and so forth.
So my questions to you all is: Are you excited for this game? Do you think It'll satisfy My Little Pony fans? Will you be buying this? & If so how much are you willing to pay?
I personally think I will be a good game if they do 2 simple things. Listen to what the fans have to say, and have it reflect future episodes, meaning if new ponies make their appearance in season 3, I think Gameloft should add them into the game and to do as much as possible to have the game reflect the TV show. If they keep the updates coming this game should have some lasting appeal & replay value.
Check out the iPad game play demo and let me know what you think.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlBInHiJ-74
As a fellow brony, this excites me. /)
Like you said, as long as Gameloft listens to what the fans have to say. And of course new ponies and cannon names and the whatnot. And I hope that they include some of the maybe not so well known background ponies. Such as Lyra, Bon Bon, and Dr. Whooves, etc.. I'd probably pay anywhere between 5 and 10 dollars. Depending on how much content is actually in the game.
Possibly....even if I stopped watching it after season 2 episode 1....I still read the fanfics though lol.

Thanks for the heads up, my wife loves games like this and the more cutesy the better
Edit: just watched the video, no way will this run on her ****ty wildfire s
They could make great use of the Xperia Plays touch pads on this game, instead of touch swiping the screen to navigate you could just use the touch pads. And the mini games could make great use of the D-pad. The game has huge potential hopefully they put effort into this instead of just selling the name and making a quick buck.

The only 'major' issue I've come across is the inability to connect to Gameloft & stay connected.
It's a flaw in the game, I expect this to be fixed pretty soon considering most challenges have to do with connecting to gameloft and interacting with other ponies.
All in all a pretty good game tho, I've played it more than Halo 4 so far...

things get sort of expensive later down the road, but they don't force it on you. I'm level 23 and I haven't spent a dollar yet. As long as you manage your in game money you should be fine.
Thanks for the answer. The game isn't too bad. Does it ever feel like a grind?

Not really, after you hit level 20 everything you need is pretty much there. I currently have 35,000+ bits right now and that number increases every 3 minutes or so. I've also done all the available 'challenges' for the time being (besides the GL ones obviously)
So yeah hopefully we'll see an update soon...
