APP- Zombie Survival Handbook

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

Beaver Karts: More than Driftwood?

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:

Super Royal Jump - nostalgia and modern day arcade elements on a single platform

One can still remember the times when cell phones were manufactured in a brick-styled manner, and had a huge antenna on top it. In those times, video games were limited to a console box which required a cassette to be inserted on top, which would only do so, after a lot of jabbing. But, after all the hard work, one could enjoy games like, “Super Mario”, “Tetris” and a lot more, with the all-time favorite snack, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, with all friends and siblings.
Moving out of those ancient times, and entering into today’s world, the advanced evolution of the gaming industry with improved graphics, user experience and game play, show that all attempts made in game development aim to give you a more realistic feel, such that it leaves you with the impression that it’s actually happening! While all these advancements are more than mesmerizing and engaging, and the old plastic console box is not a match to these developments at all, the feel of going back into those zuper adventurous years and reliving those moments is something anyone would enjoy.
Keeping this in mind, and the love for Scrat, the squirrel in Ice Age and his obsession for acorns, is what inspired the awesome game developers at Vanilla Arcade to come out with ‘Super Royal Jump’. Just entering into the main home screen sparks those awesome childhood memories. Nonetheless, the developers have successfully managed to keep the game play engaging and up to date by incorporating new arcade elements giving you best of both worlds! Enjoy desa adventure you’ve never experienced before as you navigate Finn, to dash through the leprechaun world to get all the acorn, gold and toys you can get your hands on. The game, not only tests your reflexes, but also questions your anticipation as you keep your fingers ready to guide Finn as the ground he’s dashing on, either blasts suddenly, or crushes away just before he leaps! Oh, and of course! Just like the good old days, there’s also a monster to beat. Engagingly addictive, this game is superbly designed bringing nostalgia and modern day gaming to a single platform on your device for you to enjoy.
Available for download on Android & iOS, the game in our opinion steals the show!

Mobile games seem to rely more on updates instead of making sequels. Why is this?

Games nowadays are not products, they are services. This applies to the gaming industry overall but it is particularly evident in mobile games for the following reasons:
Discoverability. This is one of the biggest if not the biggest problem for mobile games. There are just too many of them and to get a game to a place where it markets itself, e.g. top of the free games chart, is close to impossible.
Risk. It is a lot quicker and cheaper to update a game than to develop and release a new one. If you are risk adverse, updating a good game is the preferable choice over releasing a new one with unknown performance.
Audience. This is closely tied with discoverability. If you have a large audience, you probably have a good game. If you do have a good game, your audience will generate more audience through virality without the hurdles of discoverability. If you release multiple games, thus fragmenting your audience you’ll have to put more effort in maintaining your audience in each game and not maintaining your audience means less virality. A case can be made that more games may “spread the risk” but I’d challenge that with the portfolio of the largest mobile companies that often have less than a handful of games that they are updating and rarely launch a sequel.
I know it’s fun to create new titles and sequels to games you like. To be honest there’s nothing wrong with that, I’ve done it quiet a bit some years ago. However if you want to think of it business wise, you really need to get your head around the problems and opportunities of your games in the market they are at.
One last point is that I’d like to make is that updating allows for cycles of improvement. You put out your minimum viable product, analyse its performance and improve it or let it go. That’s a completely different mindset from old-school game development, which I love! but it’s a lot less commercially viable.
