Quick Look At Today’s Free Amazon App: Treasures of Montezuma 2

Up today for free on the Amazon Appstore is Treasures of Montezuma 2, the sequel to a hugely popular PC game. Normally, I don’t like the Bejewled types of puzzle games, but having not really played one I think I’m now converted. The catch here in Treasures is that, besides having to line up 3 alike colors, you’ll also need to get to certain ones with jewels in them to progress through the levels. This added a little bit more than just lining up the colors on their own. There are three levels of difficulty as well as a hint button if you need a hand during play. You’ll be awarded throughout the game to purchase upgrades and bonuses as well.

Heck, for a game that will normally cost you a whopping $3.07 to buy, you might as well give it a try for free and see if it’s your cup of tea from the Amazon Appstore. If not using the Appstore, you can grab the download here by entering your email address or phone number in the upper right hand corner for a download link.  Be sure to have the “unknown sources” box checked off under Settings —>Applications on your Android device. Check out the video after the break and let us know what you think.

Based on your phones orientation, you’re phone’s screen will be kept on until it’s placed outside of the orientation range you’ve set. This is based on the fact that when you’re using your phone you not holding it perfectly parallel to the ground  or perfectly perpendicular with it standing straight up. To test where you range is set, the icon in the notification bar will display green when activated and white when deactivated (you can also disable it from displaying in the notifications as well).

Quick Look At Today’s Free Amazon App: Illusia

Up today for free from the Amazon Appstore is the side scrolling action RPG Illusia from GAMEVIL, the creators of Zenonia. You’ll start off by selecting from two characters. The Fighter is a melee class with high HP and good defense while the Magician is a ranged class with good offence and powerful skills. After going through the opening story sequence you’ll be presented with a training mode to learn how to navigate and test your skills. Without a physical directional pad, you’ll have onscreen directional controls with an attack and jump button on the other side of the screen. There is also a special button set to fire off magic skills, replenish your health, and use a special attack. Though the game is HD, the graphics look just OK and the frame rate does seem a bit low on my DROID X. This looks to be a good casual action RPG with some depth, so grab it for free and check it out yourself.

This game will normally cost you a $0.99, so grab it while it’s free from the Amazon Appstore. If not using the Appstore, you can grab the download here by entering your email address or phone number in the upper right hand corner for a download link.  Be sure to have the “unknown sources” box checked off under Settings—>Applications on your Android device.

Quick Look At Today’s Free Amazon App: Happy Vikings

Free today from the Amazon Appstore is a game called Happy Vikings. Aboard your dragonship, you’ll need to stack and arrange different loot type objects three in a row to make them vanish, earning  combos and chains to crank up your points. There are even ancient ruins that drop, and by spelling out the God’s name, you’ll earn yourself special favors from them. There is even a marathon type mode called Valhalla to see how long you can last. Coming in at about 30MB there’s some great graphics, special effects and smooth game play. Two buttons on the left will move your character left and right and your pickup and jump buttons are on the other side. When first playing this I found myself constantly trying to throw the items onto the stacks Super Mario II style, but that’s not an option here and slowed the pace for me a bit. Your only able to place the loot underneath where you are standing, meaning you need to jump on top of the stacks to make a combo or place them horizontally. You can however double jump for height and push up to two objects at once so that helps with the gameplay. Add on a cool sound track, Feint and Facebook support, and optimization for  Xperia PLAY and we’ve got a great little puzzle game on our hands here.

This game will normally cost you $1.37, so grab it while it’s free from the Amazon Appstore. If not using the Appstore, you can grab the download here by entering your email address or phone number in the upper right hand corner for a download link.  Be sure to have the “unknown sources” box checked off under Settings—>Applications on your Android device.

Quick Look At Today’s Free Amazon App: Warheads

If you’re a fan of old school video games getting a sort of reboot, then Warheads will be for you. Warheads is basically a Feint enabled Missile Command with updated 3D graphics. What’s cool about this version is that the 3D planet stage your on sort of “sways” like your hovering over a real environment in space. You’ll see an exaggerated version of this movement as you blow up incoming missiles (it’s more like your watching a movie as you play and the camera is shaking from the destruction). There is also some cool sound effects and voice overs that make you feel like you’re really under attack. Since it’s Feint enabled, you’ll be able to battle it out with others posting your scores online or switch on Facebook logging to share your scores with your friends. I found the game to be choppy on my Droid X until I turned the “Reduce Effects” setting on in the Settings screen. One other glitch was, if pausing the game and your screen times out, the game turned to a black screen needing a reboot to recover. This certainly didn’t hurt the fun and I’m down for any great retro game refresh on my Android.

This game will normally cost you $0.99, so grab it while it’s free from the Amazon App Store. If not using the App Store, you can grab the download here by entering your email address or phone number in the upper right hand corner for a download link.  Be sure to have the “unknown sources” box checked off under Settings—>Applications on your Android device.

Quick Look At Today’s Free Amazon App: Box It! 2

0

by Harold Williams on
tagged , ,

Amazon’s free app today is a challenging puzzle game called Box It 2. It reminds me a bit of the top down Zelda view in A Link to the Past. You’ll be helping Marv unlock the entrance to the mines of Kazarakt where there is said to be large amounts of gold and treasures. To do this, you’ll need to push statues to their correct location avoiding spikes popping up along the way. There is a time limit to each level and you’ll be rewarded by taking the least amount of steps to complete the statue placement. To help you along the way, you’ll have a button to reset the level as well as a pause when you need a break and a redo button to reverse your moves. This is a nice challenging puzzle game and the only complaint I have are the controls. Two buttons on the left are for side to side movement and two on the right move the character up and down. This made the pace of the game for me feel a little slow, but other than that it’s still a great little puzzle game.

This game will normally cost you $1.56, so grab it while it’s free from the Amazon App Store. If not using the App Store, you can grab the download here by entering your email address or phone number in the upper right hand corner for a download link.  Be sure to have the “unknown sources” box checked off under Settings—>Applications on your Android device.

Watch out with Amazon’s free app today because this game is HIGHLY addictive and challenging. Greedy Spiders is a great looking little puzzle game where you’ll have to save bugs trapped on a web from hungry spiders. When you first start the game, the only action you will have is to cut the web and try and interrupt the spiders path or directly free the bugs from the web. While easy at first, as the game starts to add multiple spiders and more intricate webs, you my find yourself with some great challenges on hand. There are also some new tools added later where you can burn the web, trick a spider with a dummy bug, and use some magical powers to free a bug. A cool feature, if you choose to use it from frustration, is a hints section to help you out in some of the harder levels. The game runs great and looks great too. If you notice any performance issues, you can also lower the graphics level if need be within the game. With 128 challenging levels and great graphics, this is sure to keep you addicted for a while.

This game will normally cost you a buck, so grab it while it’s free from the Amazon App Store. If not using the App Store, you can grab the download here by entering your email address or phone number in the upper right hand corner for a download link.  Be sure to have the “unknown sources” box checked off under Settings—>Applications on your Android device.
