Minecraft Pocket Is Out!

Search Minecraft Pocket on the market and you should see it. I just got it on rooted generic UK 2.3.3.
edit:
From what I can see it's strictly creative mode. Blocks can be destroyed very quickly, but there is no inventory or crafting. Local multiplayer is possible, but joining online servers is impossible.
The usable block list is as follows:
Wood ladder
Torch
2 types of flowers
2 types of mushrooms
Bamboo
Obsidian
Dirt
Coloured Wool
Wood and Stone Steps
Stone half-blocks
Sand
Leaves
Glass
Stone
Cobblestone
Sandstone
Wood
Wood Planks
Diamond Blocks
Bricks

I'm quite deterred to buy the app because it offers so little compared to current Beta. I'm having fun on my local server with several friends and I don't think I want to start another world myself, at least not now since I have to juggle with school.

Also, great news, from what I've read and understood, there's gonna be a Survival in the future updates.
"The first version (Alpha 0.1) will focus on the creative aspects of Minecraft." - that means that other versions will include Survival too.
"Just like the PC/Mac/Linux version of Minecraft we’re planning to continue developing the Pocket Edition for a long time with frequent updates. We are eager to hear what the Minecraft community thinks about our new game and what you all want to see in future updates." - so they want to update this version as much as possible to be in the rhythm with the version for PC.

Yup, just like the original game they will surely put out updates quickly.

I've just downloaded it. Version 0.1.Alpha. 5 euro.
Controls:
D-pad: movement: Left and right d-buttons make the character strafe
X- Jump
Square and Circle- Switch blocks
Triangle- Show all blocks
R- lay block
L- Hit with a block? I haven't played Minecraft before, so I don't know. The guy just sways the block as if it was a melee weapon.
The right touchpad allows you to look around.

The controls are a bit tricky to get used to, but after that, it's a piece of cake. The graphics are awesome and there isn't even a bit of lag. Mojang has done a great job!

I bought my copy on the train this morning havent had chance to try it out yet though

Downloaded this morning going to be some great fun, I am going to buy it at somepoint as I assume they will make a survival update so why not buy it now and create some fun stuff while out and about?

Just got my Xperia Play back couple weeks ago and now this has made it all back. All the stupid stuff, I can forgive now.

Seeds are different then desktop but who cares

The game is pretty bland as it is now, it has a few glitches and doesnt really give you much to do but I can imagine it being alot better when its available on all android devices. It would be way more fun to play with my friends

I'm not sure Sony is too happy that they've paid for the exclusive and the game is in alpha state...

WTF

Never played it, but I've heard alot, downloading....

anyone care to share an apk for those of us without xperia plays? <3

It's an exclusive, so no one without XP will play it for now becuse of lack of physical PS buttons.

Generation of Chaos released! ...and with that Android is now ultimate for J-SRPGs.

So if you're real into niche rpgs, you might've heard of Generation of Chaos. A real hit in Japan because its does a superb job of mixing war, simulation and strategy RPG in a way we haven't seen since Dragon Force (not the hella repetitive band, the awesome Sega Saturn game)...and if you're really into niche RPGs, you likely also heard this getting slammed on PSP... not because it was a bad game, but because PSP had trouble handling it properly... leading to loads of performance/loading issues.
Anyway, the same team that brought Spectral Souls from unplayable on PSP to perfection on Android have done it again! Generation of chaos is now on Android! If it's anything like Spectral Souls, I would lent be surprised to find that every issue of the PSP version is now gone.

This is definitely a cut above most - it's a game that's easily ready to compete on a console level, so its no surprise that this game is pricey... near fifteen dollars! ... sweet Jesus.
GENERATION OF CHAOS on the Android Market
Very worth it though IMO.
...and its Xperia PLAY optimized, of course

1.8gb data download o.o
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk

I bought the Japanese version. The difference with Spectral Souls is that most if not all dialogue is voiced in GOC4, especially in cutscenes. The English version probably has English voice acting, so I suppose that's contributing to the huge game data.

Har, har. 10 Euro again... I admit I've splashed that kind of cash in romance novels in the past without giving it a thought, but now (probably therefore) I can't really buy that.

No way should Android games be that expensive

I like the graphics. It looks like ShadowGun.

Its only a matter of time before all of the "A" level titles are. We are lucky right now getting all these freebies (like the EA Games) through Sony trying to push this device out to the market. It won't last forever...
I would bet in a couple years both iOS and Android market are going to see more A level games, in the $10 plus range.

It's not a problem as long as we get value out of them. Quality stories, good voice acting and intricate gameplay need to be paid for.

I just bought Spectral Souls recently... I definitely don't have the cash or time for this with a megaton of PC & Android games to play...
Maybe later on, I'll have to buy this, too.

Loco Roco Midnight Carnival, only half the game?

Hello everyone, let me first say that I searched the forums and couldn't find any evidence of this being stated so I felt it was appropriate to post a new thread but if any mods feel otherwise please remove as I'm still new and learning. I managed to get a hold of Loco Roco MC the other week and I've been having an absolute blast with it; I had never before played a Loco Roco game since I never owned a PSP. The game really kicked my ass around and finally I looked up a video playthrough of the level that was giving me trouble, level 8. It turns out that this is not level 8 but rather something like 12. Weird. Well I managed to beat it and then there's no more ****ing levels! Am I missing something? Is there a trick to get them to appear or is this only half of the game? I also noticed some of the graphics were toned down and the performance wasn't as hot as it should have been given that it was an exclusive.

I downloaded that game today morning for try it and know what are you talking about, when the download was ok i opened the game and "ok, that's ok... Very funny music and customs" but pressed start and "WHAT T......F...K!!! IT'S ALL ON JAPANESSE!!! I can't understand anything and just for it i'm stock in level 1. Is there another version on english??? Ah??!!

Only Japanese, it was never released out of Japan

Yes, it is Japanese but most games have similar menu setups and dynamics, figuring out what does what was as simple as clicking X (or L+R ). I'd highly recommend you guys give it a try if all that's scaring you off is the Japanese language format. Still really sad I only get to play eight levels because I was getting really in to the game and could have sworn it wasn't marketed that way

There are more levels when you press triangle. I think you have to unlock them.
See this map square is a level, and so is that paint one?

For some reason the paint one just takes me to a little video of those bouncy red guys talking and then shows me a picture with an X in it so I guess I have to do more before I can play the (from what I've read) minigame. The other level is a little bonus level/tutorial but beyond that there are supposed to be 8 more levels in the main game. Unless I just need to unlock them, I wish we had someone who speaks Japanese or played the PSP version here

You were right guys!! 1 1/2 day took me to learn how to play this game and yes, it's very very funny!!
100% recomended :-D

Is it on Google Play? Or have you guys got it 'elsewhere'

Actually this can be bought on the Japanese PS Store on the device. Through a special offer (or something; can't remember) you can get it for free.

How can you access the Japanese Playstation store?

Infinity Diablo - Not XPO - GameKeyboard

True,Anyone curious why NO other smart phone company made a gaming smartphone device embedded with a gamepad???...i mean they have done EVERY KIND OF PHONE!! why leave us to hang on touch screens???...

Probably because of Sony patents and technical difficulties (slide part, hard to make something that can resist time and not copy the play system).
Also I worked in a phone shop and they didn't sell well: when a male customer was interested, his girlfriend was pretty quick to say: " What? Are you a child?"

Funny, my wife said the same then said "ok if you want", followed by.. okay this is really nice to game on. She will be getting my R800x here in about 3 weeks, then Ill be on my unlocked R800at on Tmo. Be kind of fun to play one on one deathmatches in MC3.... perhaps that could be what we use to settle arguments....kidding....

Shadow Blade - Any testers

As I no longer have my Xperia PLAY, my 17 year old nephew now has it permanently and has the time to play a lot more then I do. As such, I am unable to test the following game, but hoped by sharing it someone could test and report back if it works on the PLAY. Requires android 2.3.3 and up.

On Gin2KK. I have download it, in main menu i can navigate with dpad but once i choose level, it's stuck on loading screen. Not just stuck, it freeze phone and only thing i can do is remove battery to reset.
I'm custom 480p doomlord kernel, but i don't think it's the reason for freezing. Maybe some other users will have more luck then me with this game.
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

I am on official stock ROM, 2.3.4 unrooted R800i.
The game behaves the same way as the above poster said. It gets stuck on "Loading" screen than freezes the phone.
Happens all the time.
BTW the phone reboots after a while by itself, you don't have to remove the battery
At least something positive. /irony
I see two possible options what the dev will do: They will either fix the game so it runs on stock Xperia Play, or make it available only for Android 4.0 and up (more probable).
I am no expert but I have a feeling the game has problems with lack of memory, or the older Android versions.

Well, that is a shame. Hope people don't mind me posting this, was really hoping it would somewhat workable... but as I don't have my PLAY anymore I thought it was worth a shot. Sorry ya'll that it doesnt work.
I guess if a MOD wants to remove this thread, they can.

I wouldn't be so hasty about it, they might still fix the game Just saying.

I guess then, there is no point in asking about compatibility of Demonrock: War of Ages too which is from the same developers. That game looks like it will be heavy, RAM & processing wise.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.crescentmoongames.demonrock
Butterscotch Shenanigans have released a new game & since they usually support the XPlay, there is some hope for that game. My XPlay isn't working, so someone else will have to test this.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bscotch.roid

Funny thing is I was just about to post this.
Demonrock: War of Ages is from the same developer and it does exactly the same thing. Freezes and restarts the phone. I am starting to see a pattern here
The odd thing is that Crescent Moon Games are considered a high-profile developer on iOS, no? I sincerely hope they don't want to have their reputation blemished and WILL fix the games.
As for that other game, I will test it if it's free and will report back.
EDIT: Ok so that Roid Rage game works, I'm not sure if it supports XP controls it seemed to react to my pressing on the controller although I suspect the game is better played using touchscreen.
Let me guys suggest some other game that work on Xperia Play: Punch Quest and Marvel Puzzle Quest. I have had much fun especially with the latter, although it's a simple match-three clone you can play other people on-line (sort- of), collect characters and join events and such. And it looks nice on Xperia Play's screen.
Punch Quest I didn't play much, not exactly my kind of thing but some people may enjoy it. And it's free too.
