At long last, Android has something like Rolando... and it's Xperia Play Optimized! - Xperia Play Themes and Apps

I usually don't geek over these little pick up and play type games, but Rolando 2 happens to be the one and only game from iPhone that's A) Worth playing, and B) has (well... had) no Android counterpart.

Got the tilt controls and everything so I can have the best of both worlds!

Its very buggy...

Umm...who denied that? All my post noted was that most of whats worth playing on iOS typically ends up on android. You've misread something if you think I meant iOS has nothing worth playing.

looks pretty cool. thanks for the share

Any other feedback on the game?
Doesn't look anything like Rolando, especially the incredible Rolando 2 (correctly identified as one of iOS' best games!, althoguh they get hundreds worth playing we don't )
I'll download and install when I am home this afternoon and post some feedback

It's buggy as hell !

It's crap.
Tried it, could not figure out what was so great about collecting coins, uninstalled.
Its only redeeming quality is that it's free, so it will only cost you your time if you want to try it.

Two comments about how buggy it is.. maybe I'll just install it and wait till there's an update before testing!
Edit: Just saw the above - will avoid.
Comparing a crap game to the amazing Rolando 2, tut tut! Is the OP the developer?

Nah, I wouldn't have let it slide in it's current state.
And people... remember that my props were for it's concept only. Check my Play Store review (from before I even posted this) and you'll see that I even cited that the game had some probs that needed to be sorted out.

Looks more like Bounce On 1. Would love Bounce on 2 to be released on Xperia play

Gimme LocoRoco and I'll be happy. That's never going to happen, though.

Hey, I'm the developer of StarRaider. I know it is not the greatest game ever, its buggy and seriously s**t from a code perspective. I will probably make it ad free soon, call it "beta", add some promised features and just leave it be. I understand that some of you people will find it crap, but when I started working on it, I was a noob in android development. Those 7 months of development taught me many things, so any future games will be much better. I still appreciate the feedback

ReRave - New music game coming soon!!

ReRave is a new music game that just launched for iOS, and is quickly gaining steam and will soon be out for android. If your a fan of dance dance revolution, in the groove, stepmania etc, you'll love ReRave. Here are some links to check it out.

Yeah they are working on it right now. Didnt take them too long to finish the iOS one so hopefully it will be out soon. I've got it on my iPod and its awesome, cant wait to play on my X with that big ass screen lol.
In the meantime, you can always play "beats" in Osu mode which is pretty similar since both games are based on "Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan" (known as "Elite Beat Agents" in the US/EU).
I'm glad to see ReRave being ported on android, and it will probably be a decent game, but the guys behind this game (Kyle Ward and Chris Foy) are really fun : They created In The Groove which was a copy of Dance Dance Revolution, got sued by Konami and lost the rights to the game.
A few years later what do they do ? a new original game ? No... They just create a new company and copy another game
I just hope they finish the Android version before they get sued by Nintendo or iNiS
We've got this covered though, with a patent and whatnots.
The android port won't take too long, just some iOS specific code needs to be rewritten.
Yes, I helped work on the game (I'm one of the graphics dudes ;D )
Good news then, thanx !
Looks like it could be fun

I wouldn't say itg is an exact copy of ddr. sure, four panels and you hit arrows but if you have actually taken the time to play ddr (not just one game mind you) and played itg, itg has taken it to a whole nother level that ddr, even now, has failed to reach. so many people are still playing itg and ddr is dying out. it'll be fun to finally play this on my phone. looking forward to it lightning!

9mm to Xperia Play?

Do you guys think we will get '9mm' optimized for our Plays?
The game is available for iPhone, iPod and iPad today, and and gameloft says that the game will come to Android soon. What do you think?
Youtube video
I would love to play this on my Play with real controls :d
i hope we do. i got it on my iphone 4 and love it. it woukd be great to try with the controller
Haha just the other day I was looking for this game for Android and came to the same conclusion as you.
I'm pretty sure they'll optimize it, since they already have a lot of games with working stuff, except the sliding aiming pad which sucks hard IMO.
Let's hope they don't take too long to release it.

I think it works pretty good with the right settings and some training
Maybe I'm not used to it yet, right now I play NOVA2 from time to time and even if I try to move just a little bit and barely move my thumb I never get precise aiming - far objectives where they aren't auto-aimed.
Who really cares about gameloft games 3/4 of them suck the controls are just terrible I hope that some other game developer jumps on this phone and starts making games cause I refuse to pay for a game that doesn't even control properly. DARK in my opinion is the best shooter this phone has
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
I hope so.I thought the game look alright
I really hope they do, but with the time taken to port order and chaos (1 month so far and still not officially available) I think we will be left behind or wont get it at all, lets hope they start taking it seriously. Why not just allow us to set our own controls, open it up and let me set hardware buttons to anything I want

I love most gameloft games - they have their faliures, but they create decent games across multiple platforms and multiple devices at a very reasonable price point. Plus if you have any problems they are very helpful and will give out free games as compensation.

There you go again. Stop with the personal attacks. People are entitled to their opinions and not everything is Daises and Roses. If you can take the bad with the good then maybe you should be the one to go away.
We are all adults and come here to discuss gaming and the Play. If enough people complain and someone from Gameloft reads it then maybe they will do something about it. You are not the Forum police so please stop the personal attacks.
Or are you a Dev from Gameloft and can’t take the feedback?

If people dont like gameloft games, don't buy them, the only way gameloft will get the message is when they get there bank statement XDA is about sharing ideas and experiences, not moaning about the same thing every day on every single thread, this thread is about the possibility of 9mm for the play, no1 cares what thatsupnow thinks of gameloft, it's not even relevent to the thread, and to be honest we have all heard what he has to say, again and again and again .......
"If people dont like gameloft games, don't buy them, the only way gameloft will get the message is when they get there bank statement "
Not really. Just like Call of Duty BO people buy it anyway. BO was the only game I have ever sold. I keep my games no matter what. People don't know the controls suck if they are not told. And after you buy the games it's too late.

What's the thread title? It's certainly not "What's your opinion on Gameloft games controls". I agree with the other guys. I own like 5 gameloft games, I know damn well that some of them suck balls for controls, I don't need to see it everywhere on these forums, only in appropriate places. This thread is about a single game, 9mm, which isn't even out for Android yet so you have no idea how it controls on the Play.

Rebel Attack II - This screams for touchpad/d-pad support.

Found this last week. It plays pretty good and is fun, but I despise touchscreen controls. This game would be awesome if it had d-pad / touchpad (definately touchpad, d-pad at least) support. What are your thoughts? I'm going to email the developer and request that he add the support.

I believe the game may have been removed from the market. To be honest I was surpised to see it as I am sure Tue maker of the game probably did not ask Lucasfilm if its OK to make the game. I am unable to find the game in the market via a search either. So I can only guess its been removed

I wanted to say, that Dev wasted a whole lot of time making that game, and expecting to get away with selling it and making money off of LucasFilm's IP.
Looked like a cool game, but don't expect to ever see it return.

[GAME / MUSIC / DRUMMING] FLOW - A Space Drum Saga

Hey everybody,
I just wanted to tell you about my new awesome drumming game, FLOW - A Space Drum Saga. Unlike comparable games, where you just have to hit colored buttons when they reach the bottom of your screen, you really have to feel the rhythm to play the drums and master the game.
If you are talented or musical experienced you can take right off. If not the game might be a little hard in the beginning. Practise for a few games and play with headphones, the reward is twelve unique levels full of style, pathos and fun, and possibly the most incredible gaming experience for a long time. And you will learn to drum. Seriously.
Just give it a try, and tell me what you think. You can download it for free in the Play Store.
I would love to provide some screenshots but my account is too new :/

All you guys seem to think that . Must be the minimalistic graphics, altough those of Patapon are way better. This and drumming is the only thing they might have in common.
However, I think FLOW is Patapon on steroids and has a much more intense and very different gameplay.

I am planning to add a few more levels, maybe I can implement something like that. But it won't be like Patapon, FLOW is supposed to be unique.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks! Yeah, I don't get the Google Play Store. FLOW is ranked pretty badly although it has only good ratings. I guess too many people uninstall the game, because they can't win the first level, or maybe because I don't sell the app. I tried my best to make FLOW popular, but all the game mags and press guys I contacted ignored me or asked for money to write a review. Screw them, xda-dev is much better, and that's why you will get exclusive insights instead of them.
As soon as my other project is done I will start to work on the next FLOW update. If you have any ideas, please let me know. Those are a few things I want to add, but not everything will be part of the next update.
Noob difficulty:
Too many people fail. So the noob difficulty has to get easier. Maybe I will add visual beat indicators like in guitar hero to help beginners get started. This is something I really didn't want to implement, but noobs might need it. At the moment only the first four levels can be played on noob difficulty, the update changes it to the whole game, but the Special Drums will remain hard to be played.
Multiplayer:
Challenging each other online would be damn cool, right? I've got some ideas...
New Levels:
The story of FLOW will be continued. But I won't spoil anything yet.
Level editor:
It would be pretty awesome if everybody could create custom levels for FLOW and share them on the web. This is a LOT of work, and probably won't be part of the next update. But it will come. :fingers-crossed:
I will keep you up-to-date about the progress.

Darren is right. It's supposed to work on your phone. Requirements are SDK 8 (Android 2.2) and above. I have played it on a Galaxy Ace myself some time ago, so this is really weird. Does this happen with other apps too? Do you have enough space on your device? Maybe try a reboot... Sorry, but this is all I can help you with at the moment.
=========================
I have made a public benchmark of FLOW I want to share with you guys:
pastehtml.com/view/cf2osimmc.html (sorry, still no links yet :/)
And the Winner is the good old Galaxy S II, thanks to the smaller screen resolution it beats the bigger S III at FLOW...
If your game is running slow, you should turn off some of the graphics settings, like antialiasing. This can help A LOT.
Played it, love it, it's a really nice fun game. Now excuse me, I'm space-drumming.
I am really enjoying the game on both a galaxy s3 and my nexus 7. I find that it can be a little jittery at times on both devices and I'm hoping that the next update smooths out the overall gameplay.

Actually it should run quite smooth on a galaxy s3. Maybe there are some background processes of other apps that start now and then and lower the performance of the game at times. You can try to use a task killer to shut down all your apps and then launch FLOW.
If this doesn't help or is too uncomfortable, you can turn off some of the graphics settings. Turning off Anti Aliasing improves the performance by 10 - 20%. If you turn off all the graphic settings the game will run up to three times faster, depending on device and level.
Fun game, very original!

DeathDome (not opt.)

Hi people,
here's a new game by Glu-Mobile. It is a kind of postapocalyptic fighting game. Must say that on my Play it runs good and no lags til now.
The game is not optimized for our Play maybe in a future update idk( but since its glu theres no big hope).
Bigger hope is for the new coming gamekeyboard update(touchpads) because with actuall one i could only optimize for 50%. But even without opt. I find it is really cool with great grafiks and damn cool looking mutants. Just try and enjoy!
ATTENTION! On Playstore it says incompatible but the game is for free and i downloaded it from any site from the net( can't remember which) but google is your friend

Of course but for to play from time to time it is ok.
How could you say that, did you play it or what, i mean try before post anything you got no plan about.
