There's a great new Android game in the market called Hungry MonstR. It's a very well put together game with a lot of replayablity and it has a level of polish similar to Angry Birds.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.blowfishstudios.games.hungrymonstr
looks fun, but it also looks like it is better played on a tablet.
Hi there. I'm one of the developers of Hungry MonstR.
Just wanted to let you know the game has been modified to work best with both phones and tablets. The Monsters are scaled up for the smaller devices so they are easier to grab.
Most game testing was done on Nexus One and iPhone 3GS and we think the game is enjoyable on all capable devices. It's easiest to play with 2 thumbs on the phone compared to the tablet.
Hope you enjoy the game!
Cheers,
Blowfish Studios.
THanks for the heads up, I'll download it later today before work.
Now um I'm just wondering if I can meet Nichole

Not sure why it would, this isn't a "free apps" only section.
I'll be purchasing it later to try it out, thanks dev.

Whoa there, no pirating is going on here.
It's a topic on an app for android, with a valid market link, and a simple discussion.
It's even posted in the right section.
Edit: lol
Lol... I don't see anything wrong with this thread...
Anyways, I will definitly check into it pretty soon. Is there a lite/ad version for phones or do we just gotta like what we see in the video? Either way, I love games with polish that run nice and smoothly, and it looks good... so I'm sure I'll be trying it.

I thought I read that on here. My bad.
Looks like some of us at Blowfish Studios might be in LA this year for E3 Expo
No plans at the moment for a lite/ad version as we feel its very cheap as it is. Plus we have had very limited success with ads on the iOS platform. Still we understand that the Android platform may be different and we will keep our eyes on the market.
One thing we will do is release a free app that determines if a persons device is capable of running our games. At the moment we are using hardware filtering, but I believe that is cutting out some devices which could actually work with the games.
Cheers

If you don't already know google released a ADC2 app to download submitted apps and review/rate them. Anyone get any good apps from it?

If you "could care less", why are you not taking part? Oh.. because you mean "couldn't care less".
Yeah what happened to Cyanogen sucks, but I wish everyone would stop acting so childish about it. He was wrong. End of story. Move on with life. It's not like it's really that difficult to get the things back in anyway.
I've been judging apps for this all day. Come by a few good ones but most are not that original really. I've been checking the ADC2 website every day waiting for them to announce the judging app release. Can't believe it's out and they didn't even post it on there.

This perversion of the popular axiom irritates the hell out of me too.
Anyway, has anyone actually been issued any decent apps for review? I saw an ADC2 version of Spreadsheet and that's about it. Kinda disappointed in the deluge of kinda 'meh' apps.
Let's keep this thread on topic.
Both of you look slow, because I SAID I could care less, and I MEANT what I said. Never said I wasn't going to compete.
@g1-evolve stop jackin the thread
I haven't gotten a single good app. In fact they are all crap.

I uninstalled it after a few days. Nothing good came across. Extremely disappointing. That seems to be the trend this week.
I got Ping2Locate, which was kind of cool but not really original. That's the best of what I received so far. There was a book library but the scanner just continually took pictures until it found a bar code rather than waiting until one was present in the way BCScanner & ShopSavvy do.
Then there was the endless stream of crap.
One of the most pointless I got was this "unique new media interface". Sounded exciting. It actually turned out to be almost insulting, considering the prize money on offer. It was 4 images taking up a quater of the screen each. One was a season. Pressing changed the image to represent a different season. Another one (I can't even remember what the image was) began to play music and spin the images around. The other two were labelled "M" and "V" which just looked on your SD card for music or video.
Seems like I would have had a good chance at winning if I'd just submitted Hello World.
I guess now I know why they never bothered to announce on the ADC2 site that the judging app was available...

I would have voted it all 5's considering the crap we were seeing.
There're some good apps in there, come on !
I run PrankDialer.com, and have an app in the ADC2 running right now - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rFJDnXw4Ew
Yeah, I was using it since sunday, hoping that I'd be able to try some really exciting apps.
Instead I got loads of junk apps, games, even one who's description was 'create user table'. I'm hoping that in the later rounds that they will have been filtered out.
we finally have yelp for android!
right now its just read only but hopefully we will get all the iphone features after version 1.0
http://officialblog.yelp.com/2009/12/its-time-to-break-out-the-robot-yelp-for-android-is-here.html
I don't really think the majority of us care.
It's not that isn't a great app or anything [well right now it really is a bad app] it's just by the time the iphone and Blackberry devs got there head out of there ass Android developers already published better similar applications.
Yelp is a great way to find a new place to eat, want to impress a date with a nice hotel or searching for a decent spot to throw back a few. There is rating feedback on a restaurant, bar, club or just about anything you can possibly rate. Yelp trying to jump on the Android market is most definitely a GOOD thing.
If they see support from our end I am sure you will see updates and added features in the near future... IM IN!!

I don't know about the rest of the world but I can confirm that there is a uk version on the official webiste look on the top right corner. Try the app, change your location.. if that doesn't work for the uk then just go to your browsers address bar and type "www.yelp.com"
Why the hatred towards the U.S. xda members? We have no control on what these developers do with THEIR apps?

It struck me how many apps I *can't* see.
The Android Dev Challenge winner: "SweetDreams". I can't see it.
Pandora? Nope. (Can't buy music outside the US, either....but I stopped buying music years ago when the stopped treating me like a customer).
Photostitch (paid)? Nope.
...and so on. I can see a lot of the paid apps....but the gaps are annoying.
we've had where for a long time, which has yelp built in...
I thought where took out the yelp reviews? It was the reason I uninstalled it. Anyway, Layar's Yelp layer is pretty good for me.
last I checked WHERE was using citisearch reviews.

You're correct just used 'Where' 5 mins ago and it clearly says Citysearch reviews. Its kinda annoying when people don't get thier facts right before posting.
Yelp has helped me find alot of interesting food places and saved me money avoiding certain ghetto and low-class nightlife locations..

Of course it should be corrected, but should be done in a courteous manner.
Yelp is a very good app, been treating me well and syncs addresses with Google Maps flawlessly.
looks like yelp for android might get better quicker than any of us think....or perhaps incorporated into google places?

I just saw this game on another site and decided to give it a try since it's free. I've been want Words With Friends or a decent clone for awhile. Wordwise Pro just doesn't fit the bill. So far WordFeud is great given it's really new.
http://wordfeud.com/
PS: I'm not getting paid to promote this. It's just really fun and I'd though I'd share.
Add me if you want to play. My ID is Snapshotx
Awesome! I have been looking for something like this. Thanks so much. Just started playing you, username is Foobu.
Thanks for the recommendation! I have been missing "Words with Friends"
Anyone can add me for a game as well. My ID is dweebs0r.
wioooow this is the most exciting day I have ever had work my captivate, please people just uninstall word wize loool, that's is it,this is actually better than words with friends, all it needs is sounds, and an option to pay for a add free version, if they make this a cross platform words with friends is going to be yesterdays news
The reason I want words with friends is so that I can play with my fiancee on her iPhone.
tell get to get a android then you can be reunited with word feud again lol
Having alot of problems staying connected
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
its been working flawless for me and all my friends maybe its your network or something
my mistake, yes it isn't working at all now, even there website is down, seams like words with friends bought them out lol
Back up and working

Been playing it with my coworker since this morning, lol... Btw, is there a way to resign even if it's not your turn yet?
yes, this is MUCH better than WordWize - almost exactly like WWF.... if anyone is up for a game, feel free to invite me: Aftashok is the name.
man I used to LOVE words with friends on my iPhone. Thanks so much for sharing this!!!
If anyone wants to play just add: smeltn
i wish the game would incorporate a ratings system and win/loss records..... the competitive me wishes for such things.
Wish there was at least a paid version to get rid of ads, hopefully that will come cause i dont mind paying a dollar to support the developer on this, pretty good so far and the people over at WWF probably wont release anything for a while. Thought that games that were won/lost didnt go away but apparently they do after 2 days, needs to be sooner than that or user removable.
Name: hollaholla
Sweet!
Mine is TexUS.
It'd be nice if WWF would show up on here though so I can play with iPhone people.
This game uses a lot of data, like 1MB in 1 Minute.
Is there anyway to stop it from using data when you're not in a WiFi area?
thanks for the heads up...
awesome game...
PS: not to thread-jack, but has anyone found a good boggle clone out there... with randomly oriented letters like the real game?

check out wordup. it's a "boggle-like" game.
on topic, word feud is fun. checking out how much batt. it takes with the push notification and multiple games. add me for games: funthony.
I gave this a try a few weeks ago, after using WordWise for 2 months...and I wasn't a big fan. The lack of a paid version, updates, and stat tracking was kind of a deal breaker.
WordWise was admittedly spartan when it first came out...but the developer updates the app fairly regularly, so I think I'mma stick with that one...until it gets abandoned or WordFeud updates. Heh.
Hi guys! If you remember, my app Screenshot ER was the first to work on honeycomb. If not, its in the signature.
Could all you lucky champs with 3.2 let me know if its still working please?
it works beautifully on 2.0.1 manta ray with kernel Tachi.
Still great job no matter what update for OS comes around
Cool. Are you using SER or SER 2?
1.0.8 that is
need root for this?
edit: never mind, just read your sig.
Yep... needs root. But if youre on this forum, you should know that restoring your device to vanilla is just as easy as rooting!
Works fine on Tiamat 2.1 (3.2 base).
[sER2]
Ive just checked (finally) and it works fine! Dunno why people are sending me error reports...
doesn't matter, 3.2 on Tiamat has screen shot app built in
Yep - but it sucks... this is a real screenshot app with cool features!
I'll pass, good luck
Whats your problem buddy? You just clocking up a post count with all those opinions?
Must be - im a dev here with lots of current threads and Ive only managed 1700 in the same time as you. And of course i spent most of that time making cool apps. You it seems were just trolling around because noone listens to you in the real world. ..
Hope to never see the like of you in one of my threads again. Fat chance, i know.

Yeah... so you dont get to bottom feed any more and actually have to pay for something that use use. If youre such a smart guy, why dont you go make something that becomes successful and then not cash in on it? You can be content with watching thousands of people download it and never even clicking the thanks button.
Oh wait - you cant.

Sorry to disappoint but I do pay for apps on both my EVO 3D and Xoom. You said your app would ALWAYS be free to XDA members but went back on your word, that was bad enough. Now you're here spamming the forum, thats disgraceful. On the 2nd page is your last thread that was closed on Aug 4th, now you opened another thread the very next day which offers nothing that could have gone in the other thread? Oh yeah, and there's another thread in the Android Paid Apps section which was also closed.
I support devs verbally and through my wallet, but your behavior is pretty distasteful. I'm not looking for a fight, nor am I slamming your app, but I think the way you do business may hurt you more than freeloaders. Another factor may be people realize there are free apps that suit them just as well and don't have to worry about buying an app only to find it pulled from the market for some unexplained reason and have to get the other pay version.
Think of this as constructive criticism.
It was a good review. Not all hipster like the Apple videos.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm totally stoked! Bring on some 4.2 goodness!

That's why I love Google and hoping my heart will never be broken.
Look at those guys on the video! They are so cool, speaking with such humility and Never ever comparing their work to some other contender. I like that and i feel comfortable buy their devices and using their services.
With such prices I can't complain much about the lack of sd slot or removable battery.
