I found this game and been playing it for awhile. It was on the Iphone but it has a android port. So you can run around and kill all the Iphone people (LOL). Anyways you can use my referral code to get 1000 gold after you do the tutorial. Anyways its simple but fun.
Use Code lunnf
Also, if you want 1,000 gold here is what you do:
When you first begin the game, hit the Menu button and then tap "Profile." In the Profile page, tap the red button in the upper right hand corner and then "Enter Referral Code." Type in "lmali" without the quotes. This is my referral code. If you do not want to use mine just scroll to the section below. You'll get 1,000 Gold once you complete the tutorial. Be sure to enter the code in right away. After the tutorial is done, you won't be able to enter it in anymore.
Thanks ill try
Dont you have to pay real money to play that game.
No money required to play.
This game is BS, you need "food" to do things like level and the only way to get food is to buy it WITH REAL MONEY or recruit other people. Its fun for a day or two but quickly gets frustrating when you realize you are going to either have to pay, recruit others, or stop playing.
the guy must get some kind of bonus for refferals, thus he is spamming his code here and there. I've heard this game requires real money to play, but the guys just playing you about you dont need to.
Well I mean technically its not a scam, or at least its a scam hidden inside of a seemingly well meaning game. The problem is that in the game there are 2 major items to collect, food and gold. The gold is obvious, and you get it from many types of kills or actions but the food you cannot get without paying or recruiting another player. This is where they get you.
Currently I have spent about 2 hours adventuring and am at the point of leveling for the first time but I cannot level and get my skill point until I pay 80 food and I only have 77. If I want to continue playing I will either have to recruit someone else, buy food with real money, or sell something for food on the games market which is purely player driven so there are no default prices on basic items, just whatever people want to change.
Either way it has great potential but I think the publishers are the scam artists using this system to force players to recruit or spend money, either way the sole purpose of the game is to profit the devs.

I am one of the developers/publishers of Parallel Kingdom and I would like to respond to several of your statements.
"the food you cannot get without paying or recruiting another player. This is where they get you." - You can easily acquire Food in any of the trade posts in any city in the Parallel Kingdom world. There is absolutely no need to buy Food for cash to be successful in the game, you can trade and get any amount you want.
"I think the publishers are the scam artists using this system to force players to recruit or spend money" - The business model behind Parallel Kingdom is no different than any other "free to play" MMO. In our minds, at least our game allows people to try it out before they spend any money. We give them 300 free Food with their new character (it costs 80 to level so that is more than enough for 3 levels). And this model allows players to do a little more work in the game collecting resources so they can trade with other players that prefer to spend more money on the game.
"the sole purpose of the game is to profit the devs" - As much as I would like to say that I make games solely for the love of seeing people enjoy them, I still need to feed my family. We have been developing this game for over 2 years. The game is on the third version (Age of Emergence) which just debuted in November 2009. This is the first version that even had a way for us to make any kind of money on the game. The first two versions (the first year and a half of the game's life) had no way for players to spend money even if they wanted to. I'm sorry but eventually a company has to get some revenue or it simply can't support itself or its games any more.
If you are serious about this game then I would suggest a few things since I have worked for a few game companies in the past. One game I would as a solid free/paid model game is Free Realms by Sony.
First you need a store with set prices that is not player controlled. Sell basic things like lvl 1 weapons and armor, boots, gloves, all that stuff for set prices and allow players to buy or sell. This would help first time players get into the game more quickly because it would be reliable and familiar. Giving the player control is key instead of having them rely on other players.
Turn the store into an auction house. This is where all prices are controlled by the player. This way players can craft items, upgrade, and sell them to other players interested in special items. Keeping the noob market and hardcore market separate helps a lot in keeping both spectrum of players happy.
Give us a screen that shows equipped items and not all the items we currently possess. Using the items list to figure out what you are wearing is annoying.
If I kill a deer I should get food! Food is not something you should be charging players for. Going off of what you said I would think people "pay for" this game because of 2 reasons. Either they are the total noob and want some help or they are a l33t haxor. So going off that assumption it would seem like good things to charge for would be special weapons and armor or rare crafting items that can lead to better weapons/armor than you can build or find in the game.
Either way like I said in my first response, I have played this game well over 2 hours so there is something there, but there is a lot of room for improvement before this is going to be my go-to-game while I am mobile.
Yes I get a bonus from refering people. You can play and get your gear up without needing food. You can buy food from other players. Its not all bad. Not saying this game will rock your socks off but you can still play it without buying food and get most of the features of it.
It is interesting at first but yeah, you have to spend 'real' money to get supplies hire people for instance. Uninstalled.
Just wanted to mention that a ton of new content has been added...
New Monsters
New Skills
New Weapons
New Pets
And a New Dungeon (Dragon's Lair!)
Would love to hear some feedback about the new stuff. Thanks!
I've started playing two days ago and it's OK but it's not worth it. Food is too expensive, and the game is not good enough to pay that much for it.
I'm sorry but market is full of free games more addictive than this one.

This is assuming somebody is willing to spend real money on Food and then turn around and sell it for gold or whatever.
THIS NEVER HAPPENS, so he was correct your HAVE to buy food with real money to progress further in the game.
I have been playing this game for over a month now. I am @ level 19 and I haven't paid any real money on this game. I get all of my food from sales of items I collect in this game and a couple referalls. There is a kind of price regulation in the game set by the players. For example, for 1 food you pay 100 gold. There are people who do nothing but sell food at the trade posts in the game. Also, ask around on the help chat to find out what certain items are worth either in food or gold. I recently sold 150 wood on the game for 8000gold and 75 food. If you do want to start playing this game, I would suggest you talk to people in help chat. Also look for my name, Lunacyinc, in the help chat, and ask me any questions you have. I would be happy to help. And one last thing, don't believe the promises about free gold or weapons from referal codes or bonus codes. These "bonus" codes do not exist. Its all just a scam for those people to get more food.
if someone finish tutorial, please write my referral code:ivcuz
I've been playing this game for almost 900 days now. I literally started on day one when both this game and android were both brand new. I've quit for months at a time but always get drawn back. I've helped to implement features, test things, make suggestions, and lead a few of the biggest groups to ever exist in the game.
This said I'd like to mention that I've never paid a penny on parallel kingdom, or PK as many call it. It's a great game that has more social aspects to succeeding than most games do. If you can't master the social aspect of help, friends, and territory it won't matter how much money you spend... you won't get far. If you can then you've found the real value in PK.
I'm also not posting my referral code because firstly I don't roll like that and secondly i don't need any food or to spend money on the game to be successful at it.
In game name is Caern if you need any help getting started.
I've played this game for about 30 days now and haven't spent a single dime.
You can trade for food at reasonable rates through the trade posts and it isn't that hard to get gold to trade for food. If you use your food wisely like the tutorial tells you to do, you will not need to trade for food until you are about level 10 or so.
At that point you will have either found a good hunting spot where you can make good gold/hour or you will find good resources from NPCs that you can sell in the trade post for food/gold.
Sometimes it seems a little tedious, but it is fun.

Hey! This post is from rinzii!(aslo a pk dev). Tell the central guys to fix the acct. iwillkill. ive recived a tip from her that acct is glitched. Please look into this. Thanks.
Parallel kingdom as of october 14th 2014 4:50pm
everyone here is wrong except for gilby a dev of parallel kingdom.
HERE IS A DESCRIPTION ON THIS SUBJECT AS OF 2014
parallel kingdom IS NOT MADE FOR THE DEVS TO SCAM
ITS NOT THEIR FAULTS IF YOUR A LAZY @SS WHO DOESNT WANT TO WORK ON GETTING 20000 GOLD TO BUY 80 FOOD gold prices for food were actually way lower than that for 80 food
I STARTED IN 2012 WITH NO MENTOR FOR HELP. I ASKED OTHERS AND GOT FOOD ON MY OWN WITOUT USING ANY OF MY UNITED STATES DOLLARS
you never defame this game,its company,and its devs.
you start out with 300 food and are restricted from using it on anything but leveling
GILBY i support as this game is GOOD not scamming
anyone who sees this and wants to speak with me email me at
[email protected]
or

I posted this in the nexus one apps topic but it should probably go here
V 1.0 of the Zombie Survival Handbook is now out, and I would love feedback. If you don't want to spend the 0.99, I would still appreciate thoughts as to what type of things you would want in this sort of app.
Current items that aren't found in normal zed apps:
Excerpts from the army survival guide for survival on the go in a variety of climates
Cultural overview of zeds myths from different parts of the world
Historical overview of how our modern zombie was shaped over the last 100 years
One of the suggestions was a review of modern zed literature + movies, and here are some of my favorites at least that you may not have seen
The original REC (quarantine)- was amazing.
FIDO was very well done.
Dance of the dead was low budget but fun to watch.
and I've heard good things about ' Dead Set' but haven't seen it yet- 6 episode 'what if' in which the big brother house is assaulted by zombies. (They're cut off from the world so don't realize z-day is here)
Well, seeing as we haven't had any zombie attacks yet, I have no real input...
I will test it though, could be a good read just in case.
A barcode to scan in OP would be nice.
Anyway, trying it out
I thought dead set was pretty good, not my favorite, but certainly better then a lot of the other zombie movies that are around.
If there some sort of guarantee?? If I spend 99 cents and end up being a Zed I'm going to want my $$ back or the equivalent in brains depending on how Im feeling.
With the android market you always have 24 hours to cancel after your *first* purchase for a full refund.
If it's longer than that and you feel like I truly put out crap, I'll do whatever I can to help you. I suggest going with the 24 hour route since I feel at the very least I am responsive.
Any relation to the book The Zombie Survial Guide by Max Brooks? If so, I'd gladly give up my $0.99
The only relation is in the general theme.
Brooks did a good job but created a backstory for his type of zombie with the fictional Solanum virus. It also assumes the role of a world which has already had outbreaks particular to his class of zombie.
This app goes with a more generalized focus on survival, also using portion of the army survival guide for wilderness survival for its 'on the run' section. I.E.- Finding food in a desert environment, or avoiding heat casualties / frostbite related injuries in a desert/arctic environment respectively.
The cultural overview is something I'm always looking out for, zombie like creatures and references throughout history. I've received some feedback but would love it if more people emailed with little tidbits
If you are a RPG nut then I wanted to tell you about a little known gem on the play store. It is called "kingdom conquest" and is HUGE in japan. It is made by SEGA (so you know it's good).
The game has FPS elements (dungeons to run which nets you "draws"). You use the draws to acquire cards. These cards have skills on them. You can level the cards up, level the skills up, and at certain levels the cards can be used to synth the skills to other cards. Ultimately you build units of three cards each with their own skill sets. All the while you are creating a base and expanding your territory.
Unlike other card battle games, this game has crazy sim city elements. You start on this HUGE map with up to 20,000 other players. You fight territory and also "towers" which reward you with DP (daily points). You can use the DP in the auction to buy cards.
Then you can join alliances (i.e., guilds) with up to 100 players. You can battle other guilds and fight for something called "debris towers." There are 8 of them per world and they are CRAZY hard. The world you join usually lasts for 6 months (about the time it takes for the 8 debris towers to be captured). At that point in time, the alliance in control of the most debris towers wins. Then special super rare cards are distributed to the winners. But the best part? It doesn't end there! That 6 month period is called "season 1" and when it ends "season 2" begins. All land, bases, etc is erased but you can keep your cards. So you basically start fresh in a new world, with harder monsters, but with your existing cards that you can continue to level up...
I could go on and on for hours about how in depth this game is... if you have any questions just ask here. But the game is so crazy in depth it has its own forum with thousands of posts/answers. The best part? You don't have to drop a dime on the game if you don't want. If you get good, you can be ranked #100 in the world without spending any money.
Wet your appetite? Download it from the play store and when you register please use the following referral code in the game.
It will reward both you and I with a RARE card.
Referral code: 7fdbcF3.
If you have any questions about the game, just ask away. I will try my best to answer them.
Also, join World 11. It just opened a few days ago and so everyone is starting fresh. Tons of DP to get!
There is still lots of time to join up in World 11! If you have any questions, just post them here.
The Lowdown
I was looking for something fun to play on phone and I came across this. It was free in the app store so I figured that I’d lose nothing by trying it out. The first thing that I noticed was the cover art which presented itself as cute and colorful. I wondered if this would translate to the game as well since, for me, cute is almost always a good thing. As I downloaded the app, I kept wondering about how silly the entire concept was. I thought to myself, “What is the point of such a weird game?” The game revolves about you being a Beaver with his own custom wooden cart. Apparently, this Beaver has a nasty need for speed and spends his time travelling downhill (and aiming for an X-games promotion) in his cart. To make things interesting, you can perform an assortment of tricks such as wheelies and flips.
Learning the Ropes
The game is pretty basic. You will have to guide the Beaver on his downhill descent as you perform a series of tricks. You have 2 buttons to control the cart: tilt forward or tilt backward. Tilting the cart backward, for instance, will allow you to ride on only 2 wheels (classified as a wheelie) and will grant you bonus points. Doing a tilt after a jump will make the cart flip which is worth massive points (given that you land safely). You will also have to collect gold coins on the downhill path to glory. One thing to remember is that you have a limited amount of fuel to burn during the stage and this is what limits your journey.
Gold collected will determine the types of upgrades you can afford for tricking out your Beaver cart. I’m not sure if these upgrades affect the performance of your vehicle or are purely aesthetic in nature. Take note that before starting a stage, you have 3 specific goals that you can opt to do during your downhill run. Accomplishing them grants you bonus gold and that’s what you want to do in order to earn more and upgrade your cart.
There are power-ups in the shop which you can purchase with gold or purple acorns. I guess that is the premium currency for the game which you can buy with real money. Some of the powerups that can make your run more interesting.
Not a Wallet Hurter
I got the game for free in the app store. Not bad since you get to you can try it out at no cost.
What I think
I like the game due to the simplicity of its graphics which comes out as a cute cartoony experience. It is simple yet entertaining. Unfortunately, it is far from perfect. I find a big lack in terms of customization. There are only a few choices of upgrades to choose from (around 5 per category). Also, you are stuck with the beaver. Not that I don’t like him or anything but, I would very much want to see a giraffe try to cart. Some mini-games would also help break the monotony that comes after a while.
I suggest keeping this at hand during lull times. This might In fact, it might be worth using while waiting for the bus, waiting for your food in restaurants, or during your breaks to the bathroom.
This is actually a good game. Challenging yet fun at the same time.:good:
Tried this one out but the game is too challenging for me. It was hard controlling the beaver's kart. I always crash and burn. Poor beaver.
I thought the game was for kids, it was hard to control at first but eventually I got a hang of it. It was actually fun.
I've downloaded this game a few weeks back and was surprise that you made a review about this game. I totally agree with the points that you have stated in your article. The game is fun but hard at first. Luckily, I was patient enough to keep on playing the game until I got a hang of it.
groan RExesd
My curiosity got the best of me and I've downloaded this game. It is frustrating at first but since I am really competitive I wanted to perfect my every run. Now, I can double backflip and frontflip. I'm aiming to perfect my wheelies and to achieve a triple backflip/frontflip. :highfive:
Space Shooter X is a game originally made for Windows Phone and then I ported it to Android. It was just published today at Google Play Store and let me know what you think.
Here's some more details:
Inspired by old school Japanese shooters, the game has HD graphics, an edgy pace and plenty of bosses to battle. Ships can be upgraded with a vast assortment of weapons and you have full power and bombing options to help you obliterate your enemies. Speaking of which, while some space shooters have your enemies approach you head on, Space Shooter X has them coming from all directions.
Notable features include:
• No shields, limited to three lives making the game play even more challenging
• Supports individual country leaderboards besides a global one.
• Gain one full-power module for every 50000 points earned
• Bonus items appear at random as you destroy enemy ships to increase your firepower.
• It's not a game to play when you are feeling lazy!
Space Shooter X is a free, ad supported game with an option to remove it via in-app purchase and buy power-ups, bombs and lives that range in price from $0.99 to $9.99. It's available for download now at Google Play Store
Nice graphics, challenging game play and addictive. The leaderboards include world and country rankings so you can compete with anyone and your friends!

Which sound effect? Do you mean the player's ship bullet sound?
Nice game! Cool graphics and effects
What makes the game very hard is that you always die when you are hit once (no matter how small the bullet is) but even worse, you loose all your weapon upgrades. This makes it very frustrating sometimes because you will, due to the randomness in the nature of the game, always come into a situation where you just cannot avoid your death. In this situation, a player will always blame the game for his/her death - instead of his/himself.

Thanks for checking out the game!
To compensate the fact that you die with one hit, 70% of the previously collected weapon upgrades will be released back where you can pick them up again immediately. I guess I just want people to have the feeling that they have when playing games like Flappy Bird. It's probably a bit frustrating but, they may be able to do better only if they try again... and again
Nice bullet hell you have here! The backgrounds are pretty cool and I like the bullet animations. I get what you're saying about the game's difficulty. It's a bullet hell! It should be hardcore
