Androidpimps – all about android games

The Humble Bundle is a famous indie game package, where you can decide how much you want to pay for it and who should get your money.
It is one of the fairest deals for gamers and the games are always high quality indie games, they have a knack for choosing the best of the best that the scene has to offer and making an irresistible bundle out of it. I own all the previous humble bundles and was very happy to see that their newest bundle is for Android!
If you buy the Humble Android bundle, you get all the games for multiple plattforms. You get the Android version and the PC, Mac and Linux version of the game and you can always download them from the website and if you pay more than a dollar, you even get a steam key to unlock them on your Steam account.
Also there are multiple ways to pay, it supports Google Checkout (you’ll have to pay a minimum of 30 cents, becuase using Checkout costs them money) and you can pay with PayPal. You can even pay through Amazon payments, so there is no excuse that you are unable to pay for these games.

So now that we have established that you are a bad gamer if you don’t buy this bundle, let me tell you what is inside.

Finally our free games list for September & October is complete. Since it is already the middle of November and I will be gone next week, we’ll bring our next lists in December. Next week I will be in Berlin at the Google Developer Day and I will capture every session that I visit with a HD Hero 2, so stay tuned for lots of video content from the event. Also the Android 4.0 launch is happening next week with the release of the Galaxy Nexus in Germany, so we’ll see a lot of new Android users and a lot of upgrades.

Oh yeah, we now have a Google+ page and will keep it active, please circle us there if you use Google+.

One of the first things I wished for on Androidpimps was that CAVE would port their famous shoot’em ups over to Android.
I received a mail that CAVE is starting to release their games today for Android. At first these games will launch in Japan and Korea and a international version will follow soon. Here is a announcement trailer for the first two Android Games ESPGALUDA II and Dodonpachi Resurrection, as well as the links to the asian third party appstore that is already hosting them. The game will also launch on G-gee, Android Market, AU One Market and will work with Android 2.1 devices. A new rendering skip feature was implemented, to keep the game running smoothly on as much devices as possible.

ABOUT THE RENDERING SKIP FEATURE
In order to reduce CPU load which occurs due to device
differences, this function automatically adjusts the timing
and frequency of screen rendering.
Turning this setting ON in the options will allow players to
enjoy these shooters at the best settings for their device
CPU.

In the last 2 months there were so many free games, that I didn’t get around to write the free games list with images and links, which is why I am now overwhelmed by the mass amount of free games that hit the Android Market. I have actually collected over 130 Games for this list, but some are still untested and could drop out (like Blob Blast and Bike Mania in this list). There will be 5 parts this time, so check back regularly.
The games are alphabetically sorted, here are the games from A-B.^^

3D Flick Field Goal

Hi everyone and welcome to another Toplist.
As you can see from the topic we have more recommendable games this month than ever before. Since we didn’t publish a free games list last month, but collected the games, we also have over 100 free games to recommend. Since these lists are getting to big for a single article to load, I will now split them in several parts. I think 25 games should be a maximum per page. The games will continue to be alphabetically sorted, so today you get A-L and tomorrow M-Z will follow. After that there will be 4-5 parts for the free games toplist.

Hello and welcome to another Toplist. This month we saw a huge rise in free games and while the sum of paid games didn’t really drop, they are starting to get overshadowed by the huge quantity of quality free apps on Android. Of course the reason for that is that there are still no useful ways to actually pay for content. Since Android Market still requires a credit card, a payment method that by my guess 90% of europeans don’t have or won’t use on a mobile device (even I don’t have a personal credit card and Dennis Zimpel is using a prepaid credit card that he got just for Android). There was hope this month, because Vodafone started to allow carrier billing on Android in Germany, but they screwed it up by enforcing a policy, where your device has to be bought through them (the IMEI gets bound to your contract when you buy a new device) which makes it totally useless for a huge chunk of german Android users who were ready to buy a simcard just to be able to pay. Most people I know buy their device without a contract, especially developers usually have self imported dev devices through events like Google I/O or ordered them through the Developer Program.
So there still is no way for any of my creditcardless friends and readers to actually buy stuff from the market, so it is no wonder that more and more developers start to develop ad-supported games, if it is the only way to actually make money on Android. I’m still hearing rumors about general carrier billing in Germany for Android, but they are still rumors, so we’ll have to wait and see when the paid situation will get better.

Sorry for the little rant, it’s not all bad at the moment. There are still wonderful new game concepts that are coming out for Android, here are the best 25 Games we found this month.
