EDITED: Virtual money can be modified using Game Guardian, so you can unlock all cars and tracks and get rid of the crapware.
I've downloaded a beloved racing game, Offroad Legends. The things is, its free. But free like free s.h.i.t.. You can play the "tour" cups, but once you get to the real game, you can't continue because you need virtual money, which you don't have even if you complete 3-stars in all levels.
In order to get more virtual money, you are redirected to an ads site which is https://ws.joyads.com/
It requires you to download some crap third party games and stuff in order to get some more money, or do online surveys on online websites the kind that Avast usually blocks because of doubtful intentions.
And on the other hand, you have the iOS version, which you can get for 0,99$ and you get the real deal.
How much time Android users do we need to wait until it is a serious platform, where developers can really commit to.

Hi guys,
I don't know 'bout you, but any game I've ever played seemed to be interesting at first and kept me playing it until I completed the storyline (or beat 'some' of the levels of an arcade) and then I gradually lost my interest in it.
So far the best (for me) was LFS and TC:Elite (your opinion may vary, of course), they kept me going for years. I was wondering what was the reason of that and I came to the conclusion it must have been because of the true multiplayer nature.
Furthermore, back in the old days (Amiga, C64) the simplest games gave the most fun.
I was looking for something similar on Android. Drag racing is very good, Air Control is great. But are simple and addictive, but none of them really offered 'true' multiplayer. By this I mean playing with (or against) someone sitting next to you. I also tried the 'high budget pro games' like Asphalt from Gameloft, but i played it for like 15 minutes and never touched it again. Somehow it failed to attract me.
I wanted something that is simple, something I can play with my friends, that won't become boring after some hours of play just because I can beat the 'bots and something, that remains to be challenging.
Driven by this 'selfish' need, let me introduce the game I've been working on the past couple of months. By now you can guess it's gonna be very simple, but multiplayer game. It's called Curve Mania.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ratcash.games.curvemania
In this game you have to prove you're the smartest 'droid' by surviving all the other players in a limited arena. Develop your driving skills, apply tactics, join forces! Whoever is 'The last man standing', wins!
There are, unfortunately, some drawbacks having a multiplayer-only game:
1. you can't play this game alone. There are no bots. Two players is the minimum, three is recommended for fun and 7 is the ultimate challenge, where you can create alliances against against the current leader, etc.
2. you need a working WIFI network. Because of latency restrictions, local network multiplayer is the only option. Will see later if 3G is possible.
Most important thing last. The game is free for up to 3 players, and you'll have to spend some cents if you'll willing to play with 4+ players. I opted for this mainly because:
1. I wanted to develop it, mainly for myself, but then again, did not want to keep it only for myself.
2. Three players should be enough to try/play/experience the game and cause you lots of fun.
3. I did not want to ruin the game with ads (to at least get a small return on my time and efforts)... So if you think this game caused you fun and is worth some cents, you can buy one of the advanced features. This will show me your 'gratitude' and allow you to have even more fun. I hope this is a fair deal.
If you feel like this game is worth (at least) trying, please head over to Android Market. I'd appreciate your honest ratings and posting your impressions either here, or directly on the market. Bugs reports (if any), contributions and feature requests rather here or to the support email address so we can communicate.
Happy gaming!
A new bugfixed version is uploaded.
Yeah, I know you can extract the .swf file and run it on the phone, but it runs awful. Also I know there's gonna be the Rebirth edition on android, maybe.
Thing is, I'm addicted to this game and I wanna find anything (emulation, probably) similar to it. I did tons of research and the best candidates are cardinal quest (android native roguelike, partially optimized on the Play, fun and simplistic but there's not much action) and "dicing knight" on the wonderswan color (LOL) which I don't even know if can be emulated. Every roguelike is basically too static, and every action rpg/dungeon crawler with realtime, skill-intensive combat either has not permadeath, or hasn't got random generated levels, or both.
I know there isn't a game really like Isaac. I'm just searching for something remotely similar, maybe just addicting, challenging, suited for long runs and small bites. You know, on a phone you'll want that.
Try Deadly Dungeons RPG. I love the game and while it doesn't look a thing like Binding of Isaac it is a rouge-like with random level and item generation and a perma-death mode. It is not Xperia Play optimized but works very well with touchscreen imo.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=DeadlyDungeons.App&hl=en
I came across that one too; I could play it with gamekeyboard if only it was playable in landscape.
Can it? It didn't seem to me, but then again I didn't buy it :x
Just play the original Legend of Zelda with an NES emulator. That's the closest you'll get, without running the .swf on your phone.
well... fact is, it's not randomized, hasn't got permadeath, and you gotta actually go into the dungeons. I mean, it's a completely different game (that I played, anyway)
Hey, to the best of my knowledge Deadly Dungeons cannot be run in Landscape but trust me, it's one of the few games worth using touch screen for. Too bad there isn't a demo but I enjoyed it far more than similar first person rogue-likes such as Grimrock.
i was playing a lot "legends of yore" when it was in its early stages.i think its complete now,give it a try

I tried that, it's great but it's kind of towards the "deep rpg" side of things. Dungeons are actually randomly generated each time you enter, but you can save and load files, level up the character and stuff like that. I also find that game more suitable to the touchscreen, as it's not completely optimized AFAIK. I think I'll stick to cardinal quest for now, which basically works like legends of yore but it's simpler and roguelike. :\
Waiting for Isaac Rebirth to come and save me
Killer Cavern!
Try Killer Cavern, still in development but hopefully already fun! Can't post the link here but just search the Google Play Store for 'Killer Cavern'. Thanks!

A quick Google search using King of the Hill and your username (10 posts before being able to post links is a pain) brought me to it on the play store. It doesn't show up when searching the play store even with quotes around it.
Your artwork is excellent. Is it all created/drawn by yourself?
I'm actually trying to promote my own game Dot Dodger hence why i came across your thread. Not up to the same standards as yours but feel free to check it out and share with your friends - I'll do the same with yours (As you probably have discovered its near impossible to get games noticed on the Play store)
P.S Maximus is my favourite

Agreed.
What technology did you use to make the game? LibGDX or Unity etc?
Its not going great, very difficult to get natural traffic due to the big devs. Thinking about targeting the Windows store for a less saturated market and possibly more downloads. Putting the app on various android stores doesnt seem to make much of a difference and the Apple developer yearly subscription seems a bit extortionate to pay.

I used unity. My too is not so fast but apple still review my game :C
Nowadays so hard to show your game for whole worlds.
Nice one! Hope you can put up links soon enough!
I have just launched my first game Toto Racer on playstore. Do have a look at it too! Hope xda lets me put up a post with links soon! Cheers to gaming
Is there a site where people mod old/dead games to be playable offline? I miss a few games I used to play, no longer available, and wanted to know if anyone knows a place where modders have messed with old apps to remove the server connectivity from them?
Is this too ambitious of a dream? I don't know how hard it would be to remove that particular component of a game, probably not very easy, I'd imagine.

There is this one site I know of, however it violates the terms of service I believe if I send you a link. Besides, a lot of those 3rd party app stores which have free apps may contain malware, I only use them on a dummy phone. If you are trying to play games such as angry birds then yea you can play it offline. If you are trying to play a game and want to remove ads, I remember lukcy-patcher was good for it. If you wanna play a game such as super mario run, then that is not possible since that game requires you to be connected online since nintendo doesn't want this type of behavior.

I'm aware of the malware many sites that distribute APKs are plagued with, I virustotal every APK before installing, if I do elect to download from a seedy site at all.
As for what I'm looking for, like I said in my original post, I'm looking for playable versions of games that are dead, and removed from service and mainstream distribution. Games like Tekken Card and Evilbane. Both of these games used to be playable without a connection, you'd just earn less rewards for in-game missions if you weren't connected to servers. I just want to find a way to play them again, as the servers are offline for those games and other games like them.
Hello everyone,
I am glad to be able to present you a game I created. It's called Money Clicker. As you can imagine, this game is an idle clicker. But before you say: "Just one more of many boring idle clicker games", I want to show you what Money Clicker makes different than the competitive apps. In Money Clicker you can not only click until you finger hurts - no you can purchase world-famous skyscrapers, buy company stocks in the virtual stock exchange, and even start your own business with thousands of employees! Additionally, the game is tightly integrated with Google Play Games, so you can earn achievements, climb leader-boards and compare with your friends. And the best: Money Clicker is completely free and doesn't contain ads.
It started as a small app on a January afternoon but turned soon into a much bigger project. Please notice that this game is still in Beta and may contain some bugs. I would really appreciate if you could test the app and give me feedback (perhaps in this thread or per Google Play Store feedback).
Interested?
Unfortunately I am not permitted to post links so if you want to try it please go to the Google Play Store and search for "Money Clicker" and select the app from "Illumination Apps".
If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask me.
~Jonathan (Developer of Money Clicker)
Awesome. Sounds great. I'll give it a go.
Would it be possible to get changelogs of updates to see what's changing from patch to patch?
Love
I'm a beta tester and I'm currently obsessed. I would like to eventually be able to have more strategy involved in some areas, but I'm just craving a deeper real time turn over. Long term stocks and day trading. I like the randomization and variables. All ready more categories to explore than most and different incomes to acquire. Keep up the great work!
suggestions and maybe a bug
I have a few things to say, first of all: Great game, great idea, it's really fun.
I'd like to know more how things really work, for example when I upgrade the research facilities of my business what will this do? will I have a lower cost? will I be able to sell my goods at higher prices? What about using money to spend in research? What's going to happen???
Also I'd like to report a bug: I upgraded the factory this morning by 1 level and it was already at maximum level, the hint said "you should hire more workers in order to get your goods out in the world fastest" or something like that, the problem is that the minimum amount of employees I could hire was 12.000, thus I was -30.000.000 in the account balance and after a few minutes the game said "your business failed, you sold everything except the REIT to repay your debts" ....
Anyway it's really a good game,
Thanks
Wow, now 500k+ downloads.
I'd like my game to be so successful too.
