Hi guys,
Haven't posted in a while and just thought I'd let you know that Dynamite Jack works with the Play's hardware. The D-Pad works from the off but you you have to configure the buttons to use your flashlight, bombs and mini-map. This is easily done by going into the 'Settings' parameter and selecting the 'Keys' tab were you can make the changes. During navigation you can use the D-pad to scroll but still need to touch to select but in-game you have complete control! Just switch the control option to 'Line-Drawing' (again in 'Settings' under the 'Controls' tab) to free the screen of buttons and you're off!
Oh and the game is part of the latest Humble Bundle. Have fun!
Im enjoying this game too, reminds me of Red Faction with the destructible environments and the oppressed miners story.

You pay what you want to pay as a charity sort of thing. If pay the average price (will be stated) you get super hexagon (works with xperia play too) and another game. Best part is the apks from the deal are drm free (Win)

Thanks for the link poo-tang. I used your link and gave $10.... got all the games in an email (well a link to download all the games)..... downloading them now.
I did notice that Dungeon Defenders + all DLC was lsited, which I did get in the bundle. But whats odd is why would this be in there is Trendy announced about a month ago that they were not going to bring the Dungeon Defenders back... was that just to the Google PLAY store only or to android as a whole I dont know.
best deal ever
I paid 2 bucks and got 4 games that i can install on both my phone and my tablet..plus the give you a really cool android app. tdynamite jack is amazing on play..full control set up and the performs well almost like a pc game plus wonderful sound track. O and make sure you select no on screen controls to really add to the game.

I think that was Dungeon Defenders Second Wave. poo-tang has shared that apk with xda members in another thread since the developers are never going to bring back that game.

Trial Xtreme works with Xperia Play controls. This is the demo in the video, but the full version works the same way.
Arrows control rider lean/tilt, circle to accelerate, X to brake.
Demo:

Full Version:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.galapagossoft.trial
So is the only objective to get to the other side?
First post, liking the info on xda, nice community.
Little bit of info from myself, trials originally came from a game called elastomania (i think, or was at least inspired).
The goal is to get from A to B but with style. Try and do as many flips as you can, try to beat times etc. Simple game, but a good one if your phone has a dpad built in (xperia play), not sure on tilt controls though.
Theres a demo, give it a try.

Trials HD is voted the best Xbox live arcade game of all time.
All you have to do is get from left to right on that too.
I've never really properly got into an optimized game for our phone and found the touchpads terrible. However I've started to pay shadowgun and it is unreal. I'm hooked on it. Feels like a proper game, as if I'm sitting in front of my xbox and the controls are close to perfect. Really gives me hope for the touchpads and proves that they don't have to be hopeless.
By far the best purchase I've made for my play and there's now an expansion pack for it that I noticed but I haven't played it yet, haven't completed the first story.
Definitely worth buying and restoring your faith in the almighty Play!
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
I agree. It feels like a your playing a console game on the Xperia Play. I'm loving it
Dead Space and Bad Company 2 also have excellent controls. They're also free
Where can I get bad company 2 from? I can't find it on the market
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
It's definitely nice, but my faith in the Xperia PLAY never really staggered to begin with.
If you'd played Dead Space, you would've known a loooong time ago that the Xperia PLAY touch-pads are a more-than-competent means of control input (and also got a sneak peek at the standards in which Shadowgun worked up to). Even outside that, there's so many other devs that have used the touch-pads perfectly that it pretty much is just Gameloft being typical Gameloft... Lantansia, Halfbrick, TwoHeads, NaturalMotion, Art in Games, Glu Mobile, Angry Mob Games and so many more have already established that the touch-pads can work extremely well with high quality titles.
shadowgun is good, so is fifa 12.

Thanks for the heads up though, might check out this game because of the sale.
I purchased Shadowgun yesterday but the came constantly crashes [kicks me out to the home menu after the video sequence], anyone else have this problem?

One thing with me is that I love 2D platformers and this is one game I love. It's awesome proper Super Mario style gameplay.
I think this same developer has made Helium Boy which was a good game as well.
I'm starting to like the developer
We need more games like this !

Yeah mine does when on the highest setting. Just play it medium settings it still looks as good. I am on stock as well.
The beauty of this game is that it's a platformer and it works perfectly on the Xperia Play. Feel sorry for those people who play it on a touchscreen. It's rock hard !
it is now 2$..
Mine was at full and no lag at all.

Anybody noticed that current version on PlayStore 1.07 "is not compatible with your device"?
And for some reason there's another version, 2.0 wich IS compatible..but why do we have to re-pay for the game?...
USUAL VERSION, IT USED TO WORK: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=beril.mootor.gmc&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImJlcmlsLm1vb3Rvci5nbWMiXQ..

EDIT: got an answer from the developer:
Hi Dany
I'm terribly sorry about this. Because of a contract clause for the
Xperia exclusive version, I'm not allowed to sell the regular vesion
to xperia users anymore, and unfourtunately there is no way to do this
in Google Play while still letting previous customers redownload the
game. I'll try to discuss it with sony to see if there is a way to
solve this.
In the meantime you can download it directly here:
http:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.apk
(you'll need to change the settins to allow for apps from outside
Google Play though)
Again, I apologize for the inconvenience. I didn't want to screw over
my customers but as a small developer I have try every possibility to
drive sales.
Aralon - Sword & Shadow - optimized for Xperia Play - all info, updates and my .gkp
I'm thinking about Xperia Play touchpad support. Does anyone dowloaded it? I'm not using Amazon, and it's not in Google Play...
http://www.amazon.com/Crescent-Moon...ie=UTF8&qid=1341558213&sr=1-2&keywords=Aralon
[UPDATE]:
For now (06.07.2012) it's NOT optimised for our Plays.....Hope something will change in the future .
[UPDATE]:
After few days of my .gkp file, made with GameKeyboard, I link it here, so you can play Aralon with GK like an optimized game . Cheers guys, regards!
CLICK!
[UPDATE]:
(05.02.2013) Game is now available in Google Play, check this now -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.crescentmoongames.aralon
Unfortunately, without Xperia Play optimize.... :[
god exists. oh good lord. FINALLY.
Is it a MMORPG or like Skyrim game?
Like Skyrim - not MMO. That's why I'm happy .
I might be wrong, but wasn't this supposed to run only on tablets?

Ooh...... must buy it and play it....... this just screams Xperia PLAY! Good find DikeJ....
Wow, the apk is 310mb. Thank you 64GB SDcard.
if they don't optimize it i'll need to flash xdark ics and get my hands on that touchpad mapping app. Just for this one.

I agree with DiKej in his first post - the game runs RIDDICULOUSLY smooth (high for every graphics setting and absolutely no lags at all!) and it's great. Gameloft guys should learn from these guys how to optimize the game. Another good game SCREAMING for Xperia PLAY touchpad support.
In my case 300+MB apk was installing for about 6 minutes (first attempt caused reboot).
Anyone has an e-mail for the developers? Maybe spamming their mailbox with optimization requests will be good strategy, huh?

i email'd the developers about optimization.
Greetings Crescent Moon games. I already played through Aralon on my old iPod Touch more than a year ago, and that was the best iOS game I had ever played. Now I own an Xperia Play and I found out Aralon was released for Android on Amazon. Me, and the whole Xperia Play community, think that optimizing this game for our gamepad (including analog touchpads) would be the absolute best thing ever happened to our phones. That would be a true Elder Scrolls-like experience. I tried using apps like Joystick Center 6 and Game Keyboard with Aralon, but they don't work.
Thanks a lot for your attention.

Hi there,

Glad you like it, hope we can support in the future!

It seems like the only real issue is they don't have phones to test it out. Can we do something about that? Maybe a donation, or emailing sony, or even offer ourselves to test every beta optimized version. I'd do that.
What do you guys think? The game doesn't seem to work with joystick center (the app shuts down when the game runs), and with gamekeyboard (i found out that the circle button actually works but that's it. Strange...)

Hmm... not trying to advertise my site here, but XperiaPlayGamer has a section especially devoted to developers who want to Xperia Play Optimize a game, but don't have a device to test on. It doesn't cover touch-pads but it could get it to a playable state on an essential basis. We could try e-mailing them that?
We *need* to email that to them. I'll take care of it. I also wanted to focus on the gamekeyboard fact about circle button working... i think it has to do with the relationship between the game and apps like that.
edit: he answered "wow thanks!!!" for his iphone. He seems really enthusiastic about this. If they manage to fully optimize this title, the Xperia Play will be on a whole new level, guys.
Love this game, played it to death in the arcade when I was younger. Came out today. I have not played it yet so I cannot tell you if its Xperia PLAY optimized, but I am hoping that since the King of Fighters was optimized (sort of) this will be too.
ENJOY!!!!!

Since no one really responded with anything back then, I might as well just come back to tell all of you on the fence of getting this, that this game is very well optimized. Good, responsive hardware controls and full-screen resolution for the XP. Plus the soundtrack is awesome! Here's a gameplay vid:

Mame/Neo/Cps Emulators are great but where is the challange. I like and brought these official ports (metal slug too) for 2 reasons. 1) Bluetooth multiplayer 2) a limit on credits. Where is the challange if you can keep shoving fake credits in, it makes these games too easy because you have no real death. Its like cheating and there is no point in that when you are only cheating yourself out of a good game. With metal slug on Emulator i completed in a hour (fun over). On the official port not even half way in and been playing hours worth. At least with emulators like Snes and PSX you have limits as its built in to the game (Saves states are also bad but still mean you have to get past the place your stuck on dying). I am happy to recommend these ports over the emulated way
Original MVS cartridge are 'free play' at will anyway, but you are right about arcade, nothing can beat the 1coin challenge and bt coop option is the best.
My previous bought of metal slug for android was a disapointment, few option, gallery mode, slowness this one seems better optimized. I think save state is a bless to train yourself in the hardest level without crawling again the whole intro + much more freedom to simply save your progress.
My fingers thank autofire as well. I found vsFighters a bit more difficult compare to the arcade because of the controller, xplay paddle is tiny and snk special moves can be tricky.
