Why would you do that?

lol thanks for that. I have memories of watching other people play that game (I didn't really play it too much myself). It is a pretty decent port. It has achievements, and each one you unlock you also unlock a gallery picture (and I even unlocked a soundboard).

Oh man I had shit to do
On that note, BUY RIDICULOUS FISHING
It's so awesome.
My latest pick-ups :
Ridiculous Fishing (See above ^)
Punching Quest (by Rocketcat Games. Quite fun F2P. But I'd LOVE to have HookChamp and its sequels on android...
)Rayman Jungle Fiesta (BUY IT DO IT)
Sonic CD : it plays surprisingly well imho.

I think this is one of those cases where the publisher uploaded the Kindle (Fire HDX, Fire TV) version of the app, but they haven't uploaded the Android version yet. Rockstar seems a bit odd on this front, as GTAIII looks to be Kindle-only on the Amazon Appstore, while Vice City supports Kindle and Android devices.
Rayman Jungle Run and Rayman Fiesta Run are pretty good. There's also sorcery if you like choose your own adventure games.
Got both already but I'll check out Sorcery.
How is Vice City without a controller anyway?
Why would you do that?

I didn't find Ridiculous Fishing as good as everyone else says. I mean, I'll recommend it, but it just didn't have any longevity once I unlocked everything (except 3-4 hidden fish) in a few hours of play. Plus, unlike other games on the market (Super Hexagon, Super Monkey Ball, etc.), I didn't find the base game as fun to play after unlocking everything, so it left me with little motivation to unlock the rest.
Not that it isn't a good game and a neat idea... It's just that I was expecting so much more, especially with the numerous mobile GOTY awards it won.
(Sad I missed the full version of Virtua Tennis. The demo was really fun with a controller.)

Oh thanks for this, very addictive and fun!

It's pretty much a fun for a random drive about/show your mates in the pub to show off your phone type game. I couldn't imagine actually trying to play it without a controller.
Record Run from Harmonix is now available. The game generates levels from songs stored on your device.

Amazon has another free coins promo in the US.
Get these 5 apps free for 200 coins each.
If you missed it earlier, you can then use 699 of those free coins to buy GTA: San Andreas and then get back 2000.

Out There is on sale on amazon.com so I bought that with some coins, together with Mines of Mars.
How do I buy table packs for pinball arcade with amazon coins, is that even possible?
And if so, how?

Darn, San Andreas isn't compatible with the Nexus 7
It's the kindle version. It's not compatible with anything but.

Hopefully they change that one day, since their Vice City works on other devices.
Still, nice to have all these coins

When BG2 hits Android I'm going to lose some time to it.

Well, on an optimistic note, a few days ago, they added "(Kindle edition)" to the title, but recently, they removed that part.

And if I remember correctly, Sonic 2 used to be Kindle-exclusive too.
Now it works on anything, but it's still stuck at last year's version 3.0.2 (On the Play Store it's 3.0.9)

Yep, Trials is now widely available (it already had a limited release in a few countries a while back). Tried it a bit on my Nexus 5, looks great and runs flawlessly. And it supports immersive mode, so it fills the entire screen on devices with on-screen navigation keys.
Is it on amazon app store?
Can't find it.
Also, if you download pinball arcade on amazon appstore you can buy table packs with amazon coins.

It's on Google Play.
Is there a decent Bejeweled clone with no in-app purchases on the Google Play Store? Like normal Bejeweled with a classic mode where you just aim to get a good score? I've looked but I can't seem to find any (Bejeweled 2 is incompatible with the Nexus 4 for some reason and Blitz is full of F2P bullshit). Oh and I don't mind paying for it, in fact I'd rather pay for it than be stuck with ads.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Inferno+
Polyhedron runner
Sonic 2
You already have monument valley.
Zen pinball HD
Those all pretty fun. I'd recommend robot unicorn attack 2 as well l which you can get from the Google play store and is free.
So I recently bought a generic bluetooth controller that works surprisingly well. I've been re-downloading games I've purchased in the past and bought some games (via Amazon =D) that works well with controller.
Any more recommendation outside of these?
GTA Trilogy
Asphalt 8
Riptide GP2
Crazy Taxi
Metal Slug
Sonic CD / 2
+ Emulators
Also, is there a way to force controller support on games that don't? It blows my mind that games such as NBA2k14 doesn't have controller support, I mean, the fuck? So is there any I can get the controller working with NBA Jam or NBA2k14? I just want a decent basketball game damnit!

Virtua Tennis Challenge? I believe it has controller support, and it's a really competent mobile tennis game.
Eagerly awaiting Hitman Go as well.
I'm seriously checking the thread everyday hoping to find out it's hit the store.

There's a daytona usa "clone" on the play store called maximum velocity daytonight lol.
It's pretty decent for a few cents. With a few updates to polish it up could become really good.

Dragon Quest VIII was released yesterday for Android. Seems to work on anything above Android 4.0 but not ART.
$20 for the full game, minus voice overs and the orchestral soundtrack (probably due to file size considerations). Otherwise it seems to be a pretty decent port, judging by the feedback. A bit laggy depending on your device, but it looks pretty good!

I love DQ8 but it's showing nearly $30 here in Australia!! Not sure I can justify paying that much for it unfortunately.
