Android game developers StickyCoding, who are the folks behind the air traffic control game Flying Aces, have received a cease and desist letter from an iPhone game development company called Firemint.  Firemint claim that Flying Aces “plainly is derived, at least in part if not entirely” from their own air traffic control game, Flight Control.  The folks at StickyCoding, clearly a little bemused at the claim, replied, asking if they were being accused of using any of Firemint’s graphics, audio or code, to which Firemint responded:-
“The similarities between Flight Control …

Today we turn our attention to Infection by CodeChimps.  The aim of the game is to remove from each level a growing number of spawning blobs, representing infection.  To get rid of the blobs, you need to roll over them with your nanobots.  The nanobots are controlled by dragging your finger across the touchscreen.  The nanobot is placed at the location you first touch and then moves in the horizontal or vertical direction you dragged your finger.  Mulitple nanobots can placed at any one time, limited to 3 to begin …

Regular readers will recall that we were a little excited by a trailer we saw for an upcoming 3D racing game, called Deliverace, which is being developed for iPhone and Android by Pixelbite.  Publishers Polarbit have today posted another trailer for the game to further whet our appetites.  Take a look at the trailer below.  I’m sure you’ll agree that this looks like it could be a pretty damned fine game.  We can’t wait to have a play around with it for ourselves.  Judging by the video though, it’s probably …

A few weeks back, we mentioned that award winning mobile RPG, Zenonia, was on it’s way to Android.  It’s makers, Gamevil, have today announced that the game is finally available to purchase.  Sadly, it’s not all good news: the app is only available for devices running Android 1.6 or higher, which rules out all you Hero users out there, and, also, it’s coming in at $5.99, which, at the end of the day, isn’t really a lot of money, but it is more expensive than the majority of games on …

i-Play have been a big player in the mobile games industry for a while now, but, whilst they have released some Android titles, until now, Android didn’t really seem to be one of their main focuses.  That is set to change this year with i-Play planning to ramp up production of Android titles.  As part of this strategy, i-Play yesterday announced the release of Paradise Quest, a match the shape puzzle game.
Here’s the description of the game from i-Play’s press release:-
The revolutionary Match-3 puzzle adventure that has captivated 5 million …

Back when I was at university, I spent rather longer than I probably should have playing Pang! in the local student bar.  I don’t think I ever did beat it, but I had a blast trying.  So, when I heard about Spheremare, an Android Pang! clone by the modestly titled Awesome Software, I downloaded and installed it straight away, although I did have a little trepidation as to what I’d find.
Here’s the official blurb from the game’s Android Market entry:-
Spheremare a game in the likes of Pang. Take your gun …

During GDC, Tom Soderlund, the lead developer at A Different Game, the team behind upcoming Nintendo DSi game Ghostwire, told Joystiq that they were also working on Android and iPhone versions of the game, hopefully to be released shortly after the DSi version at Halloween.

Ghostwire is an augmented reality game which overlays images of ghosts on top of a live feed of the real world picked up from the DSi or phone’s camera.  It’s a neat idea, and if the trailer is anything to go by, it promises to be …

Mobile game developers Connect2Media have released the third installment of the Konami point and click horror series franchise, Silent Hill.  Silent Hill Mobile 3, which is to be the last in the series, sees you alternating between standard point-and-click and first person shooter game mechanics as you battle to unravel the mysteries of the town of Silent Hill – a place in which H P Lovecraft would have felt right at home.  We took the game for a spin.
The official description from the Android market reads-
“Silent Hill Mobile 3 is …
