Angry Birds Land in Rio
Just when you thought they couldn’t get any angrier, the Angry Birds flock gains new cause for vengeance. Swept away by smugglers to Rio di Janeiro, their captors soon find out that these caged birds don’t sing. It’s time to bring back their unique brand of weaponry–the finger-powered slingshot–and launch the newest adventure in the world’s most popular physics-based casual game.
In the original Angry Birds, this peace-loving flock was hoodwinked by greedy green pigs with a hunger for poached eggs. After the pigs stole their precious eggs, this flock was friendly no more: unleashing an arsenal of angry bird artillery, the avian army smashed through the green pigs and their hideouts. The world pulled the trigger with glee as these ornery birds made bacon out of swine.
If there is such a thing as a “classic” in a mobile gaming genre that is still very young, Doodle Jump is exactly that. Millions have been charmed by the delightfully addictive gameplay and irresistible style of this casual platforming game.
Nowhere to Go But Up
The object of Doodle Jump is to guide the Doodler, an adorable, interminably hopping four-legged creature, up a series of never-ending platforms. Watch your step–miss a jump and the Doodler will fall to its doom. Some platforms are solid and steady, while others move, explode, or have other properties that create interesting challenges for the Doodler.
Just a Hop, Skip, and a Jump
Mastering the perpetual motion of the Doodler is the key to moving up in the Doodle Jump world. You control the lateral direction of the Doodler by tilting your phone left and right. Doodle Jump uses your device’s accelerometer to enable pinpoint control. Alternatively, you can tap the sides of your touchscreen to bounce The Doodler left and right.
Trouble Ahead, Trouble Behind
There are many obstacles and pitfalls hindering the Doodler’s upward mobility. Black holes dot the path, waiting to suck the Doodler in to the void, while UFOs float by hoping to abduct it with tractor beams. Even more frightening are the many hideous creatures lurking above, ready to send the Doodler tumbling back down to Earth.
Beware of angry robots
Fight Or Flight
Fortunately you have more than just the Doodler’s tireless legs to rely upon. Destroy bad guys by tapping the screen to fire Nose Ball projectiles. Take evasive action by picking up propeller hats, jet packs, and other items that can be used speed the Doodler past the many hazards that lie in its path.
Oodles Of Doodles
Artistically, Doodle Jump springs to life with beautifully illustrated environments. Originally modeled after a drawing sketchpad, Doodle Jump now features a number of stylized themes to play through, including a winter holiday landscape, a lush rainforest, and a distant corner of the galaxy. Rich scenery and dynamic gameplay make Doodle Jump a unique and timeless mobile gaming experience.

i do believe it may be possible if you link a US address on your Amazon account... but that can be problematic for actually products being ordered... so tread carefully!

If you haven't bought your Haloween candy yet....

Well done Google! You proved that you have added another skill to your inventory!
A world class prankster!
The commercials and the Kit Kat candy bars with cryptic clues and $5 play store credits was pure genius, like I have said before. A wonderful marketing machine for both Nestle and Google, and paved the way for advertising your products on popular consumer food items in the future.
Bravo, bravo!
PS - you also turned me into the Halloween scrooge, as there will be no child who will receive a Kit Kat or Nestle candy product from me tonight as I will go out of my way to avoid these products today on my $100 annual candy purchase - I live in a soccer mom neighborhood where kids swarm like locusts as the sun goes down. Just my own little personal trick or treat favor in return - if everyone on XDA did the same around the world it would make a nice dent in those holiday profits, and that would be wonderful news to read. But alas, people are fickle and will awake tomorrow morning like the same excited 'hungry dog' with 'lapping tongue' hitting F5 on the source page until they finally wear off the letters, and yet no update will come until mid November because any later than that and you risk parents and shoppers buying another type of phone for the holidays, and that's not going to be allowed to happen because that's part of your arterial blood supply.
Happy Haloween my XDA brothers and sisters! And for once Nestle can 'eat me' not the other way around! lol.

(game) go Santa

Go Santa!
Christmas is coming and aren't you XDA guys waiting for something christmas special? Oh I have just the news for you! As titled there's a new game by GameEon titled 'Go Santa!' on PlayStore.
It is a side scroller game with delicious graphics and has a simple concept: Santa gifting kids! Controls are also pretty simple, touch lower left of the screen to jump, touch lower right of the screen to walk.
So much simplicity and unique concept of Santa having a list of children from A to Z is just simply amazing. For this launch version there are names from A to I and in updates there will be more levels with different names.
Following are the levels:
★Alice: Cute little girl is the first one on Santa's list to give gifts to!
★Ben: Ben has demanded 5 gifts from Santa
★Cindy: Cindy requested 10 gifts from Santa Claus and is eagerly waiting for him. Santa finds her the cutest of all kids!
★Derek: Derek is suffering from cancer and has prayed to God that this Christmas Santa should gift him 20 gifts. Santa is more than glad to help bring a smile on Derek's face
★Emma: Emma demands 40 gifts from Santa this Christmas. Santa just can't refuse her demand.
★Flynn: Flynn has been waiting every Christmas for Santa to come and so his list of gifts has increased. He demands 50 gifts!
★Gail: Gail has some really innocent dreams and has written to Santa about them. Santa is on his way to make Christmas more special for her!
★Harry: Harry is a sporty kid and has high demands. 90 gifts!
★Ivy: A 100 gifts for Ivy will make Christmas special for her.
Collect gifts, collect candies, beware of pumpkins, stay away from mimes and go through an interesting level design for each level.
This game will definitely make your Christmas more special

Cancer is a deadly disease. It doesn't just kill you but it will make you suffer a lot of pain first. But imagine if that demon hit your children, what your feelings were going to be? It's horrible to imagine. It's just horrible. Now, we are here in Egypt had built a hospital for that reason. That hospital is specialist only in children cancer. It doesn't help the children in Egypt only but it help all the Arab children. That hospital called "57357". You can google it. That hospital was created by donations and still need a lot for making more beds available. I thought how I may help in this and I found a useful idea. I've created a very special android app. It called "Egypt All Pharaohs Wallpapers". You will find hundreds of ancient Egyptians wallpapers that you can use them in your android mobile. Please note that it will cost you only 1$ and 50% of selling that app will be donated to hospital 57357. You can help children in Egypt and in Arab world to be healed from Cancer. If you won't be able to buy at least search the link of the app "Egypt All Pharaohs Wallpapers" on google play and get link and share on facebook and twitter for your friends and you may share them this story. So, either your buying, sharing or both will be counted. Thanx for your help
