Name: Bubble Twist
App Description: Bubble Twist is a fun bubble shooter type game where the middle of the game spins as you shoot bubbles. This makes the game much more fun and challenging because you have to plan ahead for the next shot and take the spin into account. The speed and the direction of the spin depend on the angle of the bubbles that hit the middle. As you clear levels, you gain points for busting bubbles. The game features great graphics, fun music, and global highscores.
The game is available for FREE in the marketplace. Please try it out and give me suggestions and feedback on how to improve the game.

That's a nice game, thanks for posting it here.
I just have one tiny idea which might improve the gameplay.
could you perhaps ad a "ghost bubble" right at the spot where one put our finger down?
I sometimes struggle with the right angle because I miscalculated the size of the actual bubble.
Hey thanks for checking out the game. I understand what you mean by that, but the only problem I see with that suggestion is that your finger would be covering the ghost bubble. Let me know if you know a way I can get around that problem somehow, maybe by displaying a ghost bubble a different way or something. Again, I appreciate the suggestion.
Hey,
first of all I'm sorry, that my response took a while but I was quite busy at uni and had very little time to play around.
Still I played around the game and came up with a possible solution. Perhaps you could ad a pin so that there is something which just points at the spot where the bubble is going to end up.
But to be honest I couldn't think of a way to get that working without haven trouble with the edges of the screen.
All in all I just kept playing and got better (I still didn't get more then 590 points ) and actually think of it as playable right now.
It needs a bit of time to get used to it but in the end it's fine.

Hey all,
Are there any programs for runners that I can use for my fuze? Specifically, something like a GPS program that will track my route/distance/speed. I've heard this kinda thing exists for other phones, but not heard about this phone.
Thanks.

i bought a Nike+ for my ipod smh

sorry you had to resort to an iPod...I just puked a little thinking about it
Thanks! Just what I was looking for.
SportyPal is quite good, I'm using it for cycling(very good), but i read now on some thread that for running they have added to show the pace in real time with also all the other tools for measuring speed, distance, calories ...
try RUN.GPS, works very fine on mine.

+1 for SportyPal (sportypal.com). I use it to track my kayak trips down the rivers in the panhandle. It will overlay your path on an aerial photograph and has links with Facebook, so you can share it.
Sportypal is my program of choice. During the cross country season I can give my phone to one of my lead runners and track their pace during intervals and can also tuck it in my jersey pocket when I go on bike rides and have all that data at hand as well. Best thing? It's FREE!
check out endomondo. very nice and free.

I got an e-mail from them, that very soon they will have the option to choose the workout type from the phone as kayaking, rowing or some other interesting type of sports.
I dont think anyone mentioned G-Watch which I have found to be excellent for just what you described.
http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=gwatch/about
Some new types of workouts are added:
skiing, rowing, horse riding, driving, flying, sailing, swimming, hiking, paragliding, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, surfing

SmartRunner is one of the best applications for tracking, imho.
Name: Meteor Mania
Defend your city against a meteor shower in this slick game which seemlessly blends classic arcade games of old with a modern art and sound direction. Utilize four different types of power ups including a forcefield and scatter rockets to rack up a high score.
Destroy multiple meteors with a single missile to get even more points. With a smooth difficulty curve and a newgame+ system this game is high on replay value and low on downtime many arcade games suffer from as players excel at them.
There's never a dull moment in Meteor Mania!
Changelog:
28/12/2010:
Trial gameplay time has been increased from 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
Reticule becomes redder as health depletes.

Update coming next week which increases trial gameplay time from 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
Let me know what you think of the game!
A working download link would be great. Thanks.
The link works for me...
Bought it!
Awesome! What do you think of it? Any ideas for improvements, etc?
My thumbs need a break!!! This game is a lot of fun! Some ideas:
I think having levels/waves that will break the pace a bit would be nice.
Also, maybe a change in the background like perhaps shifting from dusk to dawn to day, etc. would be nice.
Perhaps add some meteor variations like "Asteroids" type meteors that break into smaller ones you need to blow up again
Basically, try add elements that will make the gameplay a bit more varied
I love the attention to detail - the graphics are fantastic. Too often games have super gameplay and crap graphics - your game is great on all counts!
Those aren't actually bad ideas, pity my hands are tied until Microsoft approves the current (minor) update I'm trying to push forward :-\ Been there for quite a while now, I think it's because of the Christmas break they're taking so long with app approvals.
a new patch has been released which ups the trial demo time from 30 seconds to 2 minutes and adds a new feature where as your cities health is going down the reticules get redder so you don't have to look at the top left of the screen to see your cities health.
looking great!! downloading it!!
Catch Phrase Party
This is that fast talking, fast passing game you all have probably played before. If you haven't, it is a party game where one person has a phrase in front of them, and they have to get their team members to guess the phrase, without spelling it out, using a word from the phrase, etc. If the buzzer sounds when your team has the phone, then the opposing team is awarded a point.
Very fun game when you have a few friends all sitting around with nothing better to do.
My brother and I have been working on this for a little while now, and finally released it today. We already have a few things in mind for the next release, which may be as early as tonight or tomorrow.
The only glaring issue I have found is that the XBL tile seems blurry. We don't know what would cause this - if any of you know - that would be great, but hopefully we can get that cleared up tonight.
Feedback is much appreciated! You can do that here, or in app.

Sausage Slice returns with a festive feel to certainly get you in the Christmas mood! The sausages and plates have embraced the Christmas spirit, but the aim of the game is still the same: simultaneous plate smashing and sausage slicing! The sausages may be wearing Santa hats, but they're still up to their usual tricks! Challenge your friends to a battle to see who can get the highest score; the best player will have mastered the art of carefully balancing these two operations. However, by neglecting sausage slicing or, worse still, by slicing a bogus dynamite sausage you will almost certainly lose!

Good game. However, please polish the slicing action. Sometimes, it needs multiple slice gestures to slice a sausage. This makes it almost impossible to slice the sausage, if there is a bomb with it. Keep up the good work.

Isn't this a demo that you can download for learning wp7 game programming from create.msdn, that you changed the images of?

No, it is a different game although it was inspired by that game.
Hi all,
I've been working on a simple watch display that gives you a virtual aquarium on the watch. Do you happen to know how I'd go about turning it into a widget? As it is, it launches as a normal app and that's fine but I'd like it to be something like a watch face.

I think it's cool to have the tiny fish swimming around, the neon tetras swim around as a shoal and the angelfish float around fairly realistically. If you tap the screen, they swim away from where you tapped. It wouldn't be hard to add some other functionality like the ability to feed them by tapping the top of the screen or something but the app closes when the screen times out.
Any comments?

Nice and you now have 11 post! That's one tiny virtual fish tank......lol. Really neat work.

Thanks and here's a video!

No offence, it's nice that you're building something, but this is one awful looking aquarium. Perhaps add some water texture, and use better fish images...

Feel free to contribute some better images if you want or if you know someone else that could, point them here. I just used those ones temporarily while I got it to do something. They were resized (badly) from another project I had to fit the Gear screen.
