ZooKeeper Battle finally got ported to Android. I recommend checking it out, it's free to play and addicting. ZooKeeper DX also got updated to include the higher-quality sprites from Battle.

This game is great! 2-1 so far.
Just a warning, I picked up Nun Attack hoping for another Battleheart and have been very disappointed to find upgrades locked behind IAPs. To be clear, the game is NOT free and still costs $0.99. It also lacks the customization Battleheart had. Buy with caution.
Yesssss! Getting it now!

Sorry but under permissions -
DEFAULT
MARKET BILLING SERVICE
Allows the user to purchase items through Market from within this application
In app purchases confirmed.
Just to buy the full version!
But you don't need the in app purchases, not at all. There are VERY different types of IAPs, you shouldn't instantly rule out any game just because it has them.In app purchases confirmed.
Thanks for the heads up on this, this is the bad kind of IAP huh
Shame as I loved Battleheart.Didn't even know this was on Android, thanks for the heads up!
Yesss! Shame there's nothing like GameCenter for Android yet though
A couple of us have, with mixed impressions. I liked it, and thought I more than got my $3.00 out of it. Other's didn't agree. It's not as in-depth as a Phoenix Wright game, but I still found it fun.
Nah for real though man what is it we won't tell.
hey man, just trying to say that a great game is coming very very soon

Hi all
Got a nexus 7 this weekend.
What games do you guys recommend
I have an iphone 4s so have played a fair few of the more well known ones but any suggestion will be good.
So far I have:
Dead Trigger
Shadowgun dead zone
Plague inc
Bards tail
dark meadow
Jetpack joyride.
Think thats about all i have put on it so far.
Quite enjoying dead trigger and shadowgun dead zone.
Might have to do the whole root and terminal thing to get my wireless xbox controller working though.

I haven't used Android for games, much, but Rayman Jungle Run, Organ Trail and Knight's of Pen and Paper are all decent little titles.
If you're into those Kairosoft games, I think there's a few Android specific ones, like that Pokemon one... Beastie Bay, I think?

Got jungle run on my phone which is a great game. Will look at other ones.
I wish people would just make xbox and ps3 controllers the standard. Im really tempted to get my one working.
If that was the standard I would imagine tablet gaming would get a lot more popular in the shooter category. Dead trigger and shadowgun both look and play nice.

No idea how the games are yet, but Gameloft discounted four of their $6.99 titles to $0.99.
They are:
The Amazing Spider-Man
BackStab
Gangstar Rio: City of Saints
The Adventures of Tintin
I bought the top 3, but am not installing any at this time since they are huge files. That and I'd rather try them on my Nexus7 instead of my phone.

Copied from the apps thread in off topic
In regards to the humble bundle, if I pay at least $6.66 I will get all 11 games? Also in regards to the Exchange is it better to use Google wallet or PayPal?

Just buy the humble indie bundle and be good. Beat the average price and you get everything.

Damn, NFS:MW looks and runs great!
I think you can add store credit with a credit card. If I click to buy something (using the store app on my Nexus 7) and then change the "Pay with" box to "Add to balance", it gives me a choice to add $5, $10, $15, $25, or $50 to my store credit. Maybe I'm only seeing this option because I have a remaining balance ($0.53) on the $25 credit Google gave me for buying a Nexus 7.
Yeah, I have a credit card currently associated, and I searched high and low on the android play store and on the computer, couldn't find anything. I don't even see an add to balance option. I think if you have a CC card associated you won't be able to add credit, which seems kind of stupid. I may be missing something though
OK, maybe once you redeem the card you bought it'll give you the "add to balance" option in the "Pay with" box. I know you don't need to add any more credit now but it might come in handy in the future.
If you've already redeemed the card and you still don't have an "add to balance" option, maybe it's something unique to the Nexus 7 version of the Google Play store app.
Edit: Yes, I have a credit card associated with my account. I tap the credit card number and it pops up a box which includes an option to "add to balance". The other choices are "Add card" (meaning another credit card, I guess) and "Redeem".
For all the raving about Sword and Sworcery being this awesome touch game I have to say it's been a crap experience to play. The touch interface often mis-interprets my intention (touch & hold to move often ends up panning the view around instead). The "next screen" hot areas are too small and often I have to move the character away from the edge of the screen to be able to touch the small area for him to move to. The sheep puzzle was an exercise in frustration as touches didn't register. And so on. Some of this may be the Android port (the last one, for example) but the small "next screen" areas is just bad game dev. It's just so much nicer to play with a mouse on a computer.

Anyone tried Arcane legends by Space time Studios yet? A MMO hack n'slash in the vein of Diablo, and so far very enjoyable!
Free with IAP of course, but nothing gross so far. I'm playing it on a Nexus 7 and it runs like a dream, though I don't know how it might react to different hardware.

I was kinda hoping Batman or Modern Combat 3 would go on sale,but I did pick up Samurai 2 and Shadowgun on sale. I enjoyed Samurai 2 on iOS and it's also great on Android and Shadowgun is pretty much what you would expect.
In a related note, anyone else not able to connect to the master server in Shadowgun: Deadzone? I wanted to try it out but could never get it online. I'm on a Nexus 7, if that's relevant.

Interested in Spider-man and tintin. Any impressions?

I'm also considering a couple of the Gameloft games but I'm not sure which ones to get. So far I've bought Majesty, Shadowgun THD and the DosBox Turbo emulator.

Just downloaded Rope Escape free with ads or you can remove ads for 99cents. Such an addicting game.
Be prepared for disappointment. Gameloft still haven't learned how to code for the Tegra 3 så the framerate in most of their games is horrible on the Nexus 7.
I'm getting like 10fps in The Amazing Spider-Man.
It's just playable on my S3 (International ed) using the games low res mode (alt+r ingame, forces 320x200 I think). Using DOSBox turbo, emulating 30000 cycles.
High-res mode looks great but is <10fps.
If there's a way to do it, I haven't found it. As far as I can tell there's no matchmaking filters, just ranked battle worldwide against randoms. Dunno if they're going to patch it to add more options or not.
The matchmaking kinda sucks, too. I've had more than a few instances where the game matches me against someone ranked way higher than me so I get my ass kicked in a single turn, or the opposite where I play against someone way lower and win without any problem.
I can't stop playing it though. Too addicting.

So I bought Backstab because all the gaming podcasts are talking about Ass. Creed 3 and its currently on sale for a buck and it's pretty cool so far.
Glitchy animations and it has that Gameloft "charm" we all know and love where it's janky as fuck and nobody's mouth moves but it's pretty fun nonetheless.
I've also been playing Dark Meadow and enjoying that. It's probably the best horror game I've played on a mobile device.
I've anyone knows either good horror games for Android I'd love to know!

Are there any good Android games with LAN multiplayer? My brother and I both have Nexus 7s and I'm looking for some multiplayer stuff to play over the holidays.
