If anyone out there has a friend with an iphone should know about the "apps" and a game called Ragdoll. If you havent heard of the game, it is definatly worth checking out. It is physics based, and made by Backflip Studios. It involves shooting a ragdoll out of a cannon in order to hit a target using trajectory and velocity. Sound simple, but the levels get tricky and the game is very addicting. If there is any game like that for windows mobile i would love to know. If not, i would like to challenge a developer to create one! People, check it out and let me know what you think.
This game is awesome... I hope it comes out for WM
BUMP!!!
I too have a friend with a 'why'PHONE and he has this game. It's called Ragdoll Blaster and it's great. Someone has got to port this to Win Mobile.
Why is this in the About xda Forum. This has nothing to do with the Site.

Hello Guy
I have being working this last 5 months in a game inspired heavily in the Advanced Wars series. I wanted to create a turn based strategy game as rich or even more than AW, with more types of terrain and units. As i really dont like spending on apps I will make this game free to play. As of now, the state in the game is still in development but I am expecting it finish it by the end of the summer.
For this game I had a series of goals:
-Fun (obviously)
-Scalable, support for small maps or huge big maps
-Customizable
-Multiplayer
-Intuitive control
By the state the game is now all of this goals seem really close. So I would like to hear also what the community has to say, what would they like in a turn-based strategy game like this.
Update:
Gameplay style:
As I mentioned before this game is inspired by Advance Wars, but I want to state clearly that this is not an AW clone. I want to make it my own game with my own touch for what I think will make it a game optimized for phones and tablets. Right now I have most of the ideas of how the game will work and how the gameplay style will be, but I also want to know what you fellow xda'ers think.
-The moving style is similar, to AW where you can move the unit to the desired tile and you can either choose your path or let the game decide the fastest path. The purpose of this is for more strategy reasons, the fastest way is not always the best.
-The units can perform an action(attacking, building, repairing, etc...) and move independently. This way you can also attack and then move.
-This buildings are independent from the terrain. I am planning on using cities as a source of income but units will be build using barrack that will be created by engineers.
-Engineer are one of the most important units, as they will create buildings for producing units, towers for defending, and com centers for support.
- I will still have naval and air units, and their behavior will be pretty much similar to the ones of AW.
With this changes I am planning on making the game more fast and strategic. So I want to hear what you guys have to say and if you think I should add something or remove something.
I will be posting more information soon.

I'm going to have an orgasm if it gets anywhere as good as Advanced Wars.
Do make it compatible for SGT, Nook Color, and other tablets pls.

I got an asus transformer and it scales perfectly for tablets.
Sounds cool, how about some screen shots?
swyped from a galaxy far far away
Never actually heard of Advance Wars, looked it up, now im quite excited.
Would love to see this game. Do post the screens soon!
please please no open feint. I hate this thing in ways unimaginable.
The logic of the game is almost done but I am still lacking some cool graphics. I will throw some advanced wars sprites and I will make some screenshots.
Ok one more update
The game itself is not near completion and I would rather not show any screenshot or videos as it doesnt have any feature that will set it apart from any other TBS. I will keep working on the game and probably by next week I can have something that is worth showing. Thank you all for your comments, I really appreciated.
Sounds like its going to be awesome, can't wait!

One of the ideas I had was to make the game modular so that the instead of using and artwork set, the people in the comunity could create "texture pack" to change the look and feel of the game. But for now I need some sprites at least for making the first public demos of the game, intead of use the Advanced Wars sprites. If you know how to do graphics design I would be really pleased to have your coopertion. If you are intersted PM me back and we can figure something out.
Thank you for the interest.
Just an update,
I have being really busy moving to a new apartment so I havent got time to work too much on the game and the screenshots this last week. I am almost done with unpacking so soon I will bring more info.
Sounds good. I will test when its available. PM me when you need testers...

It's a Gameboy Advance game series--two games, both rather excellent.
Guys I want to know what you have to stay for the ideas about the gameplay.

I came across a game today that was an old favorite of mine. Called Death Rally, do some of you remember this game? Its playable on windows, and I think theres a port of it or a similar game for wm. Does anybody know of a game that similar for Android, Or even a remote possibility of someone porting a game like that for the android platform... probably a lot to ask I know!! Its just this game was epic back in its day and I would love to see this type of game on android, make for one really cool game. Maybe there's somebody here that can help me out?
They released Death Rally on market for free!
Though it's only available in Canada atm(LOL!?!?!)... The rest of the world get it in March....
This is a game that doesn't need an introduction for most of us gamers from the SNES era. But for those of you who have NEVER heard from Chrono Trigger, you need to check this out.
This game is not only one of the best RPGs of all time, but one of the best games overall. Featuring multiple endings, an amazing and dynamic battle system, and a great and charming cast of characters designed by Akira Toriyama (you may know this guy from Dragon Ball Z). It's a masterpiece from beginning to end.
I know the $10 price can drive most people away. But for 15+ hours of great storytelling and epic battles, it is worth every penny.
Well, enough introductions. Here's the link to the Play store, enjoy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...VfZW5peC5hbmRyb2lkX2dvb2dsZXBsYXkuY2hyb25vIl0.
Come on square enix where's secret of mana! ?!?
Thanks for the heads up...one of the best jrpgs

Yey at long last
The game was ported from the Nintendo DS version, which was ported from SNES (they just improved graphics and music). Isn't it much better to play it with an emulator?

The DS port had extra dungeons and an extra ending as well. It wasn't a straight port.

First of all you missed two steps
1995 = SNES
1999 = playstation 1
2009 = Nintendo DS
2011 = Wii Console and iOS devices
2012 = Android
Second, no. There is no stable or dependable Nintendo DS emulator and while it's essentially the same game, when you've been playing it for nearly 20 years (like we real fans do), you kinda want the dimensional vortex and lost sanctum content to play with as well. There is only so much you can do to make the game experience unique and I long ago got tired of naming characters their actual real names (Nadia, Janus, R66-Y, Glenn, etc)
There's only so many times you can see the like dozen endings yknow
I bought mine yesterday. The ONLY thing I don't like about it is that I don't get the 2x game speed option that I had on emulators. Level grinding takes forever now
Otherwise, well worth it. Best RPG ever, hands down. By the way, OP, you forgot to mention that while the characters were done by the Dragon Ball Z people, the game itself was designed by the Final Fantasy people. Dream Team ftw.
I did not remember the game being so ugly.
Are you sure they haven't made it worse than the console edition?

It does appear to have been filtered, I wish SE added the option to switch it on and off. And yes I forgot: the game was the love-child of the Final Fantasy team AND the creator of the Dragon Quest series. Yet still this is not a typical turn-based RPG...you gotta see it for yourself.
my life is complete.
Quick question for you guys. I actually want to buy the game to support square and hopefully get them to release more of their catalog for android, but I'd really like to be able to play the game when not connected to the internet. I've seen apk+data downloads - my question is, if I buy the game from the market, and just put the data in the folder the downloads suggest, can I then play it anywhere? Or will it not work that way? If not, I'll just buy it and play other games when I'm off the network (annoying) but if there's a way to both support the dev and be able to play it the way I want, that would be perfect.
one of the best games!
Love this game
I like secret of mana better.
Via PadFone on Tapatalk. Tablet/Laptop phone ftw!
I downloaded Final Fantasy 3/6 because it is suppose to rival this game but doubt it would.
In today's world of CoD and Halo with each game looking like a different regurgitation of the last, this game still stands proud today. Amazing character development, I remember at least 5 different endings. How many games change the plot from the choices you make in game today? Me and my two brothers would play this together (one would play the other two would watch) on the first snes emulator that came out. We would Name two of the characters after the two older brothers and the third character (frog) we were suppose to name after my little brother but we just nicknamed him after my little bro instead ''Farty" The dialog turned out to be amazing because of it.
What happened to good gaming? What happened to the sniper battles of MGS, or fighting a boss who made you unplug your controller (literally). The environment of FFX. Gaming today sucks! And don't say it has gone to platform, it's gotten better there but it sucks there too! I have an amazing PC rig but no games to enjoy it for.
We have all the money and power but no creativity to put to it.
Charge on my beloved XDA devlopers. Prove them wrong.

Never played it, but Chrono Cross is really good. I just want them to start releasing Kingdom Heart games.
I used to play this game on DS, it's nice to be able to play it again on android, thanx :good:
There was this game I used to play on IOS called Reign Of Swords, it was taken down a few years ago and I don't know why. But man, this game was great, does anyone know any type of game app for android that's like this?
Here's a image of it; http://wirelessmedia.ign.com/wireless/image/article/916/916728/reign-int_1223334140.jpg
It was a strategy turned based rpg god I loved this game.
And here's a review so you can see what it's about

dat date, yes the game is fairly old, but i miss it and i'd love to play another game similar to it.
Looks like heroes of might and magic
