Lumiappaday #185: Hardboiled Pinball demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800

| May 18, 2012 | 2 Replies

  Hey, this is Hardboiled Pinball – a very simple pinball game. In the demo that I recorded a while ago, I didn’t realise that landscape view was available in settings ( I had wondered why the game started in landscape and then showed a portrait gameplay). I advise you to switch to landscape as […]

Lumiappaday #184: Dino Parade demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800

 Dino Parade is like the Bye Bye Brain series except that it’s with Dinosaurs. Whilst the concept is similar, it’s still a nice and refreshing game to play. To defend yourself against dinosaurs, you have to use a range of household appliances. You’ll have to balance out which appliances to get, or which current ones […]

Lumiappaday #183: Tiki Towers demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800 XboxLive

Tiki Towers is a great, addictive little puzzle game. You have to build structures (towers/bridges etc) for your monkeys to climb, get the bananas and reach their destination. Your building material at the start is bamboo but you’ll also get coconut and vines. The amount of material you have is limited so create wisely. It […]

Somewhat of an odd shooting game I came across. It’s a mix between classic arcade shooting style with some 3D-esque environment. As noted in the review comments, it’s pretty much Space Harrier from the Sega Mega Drive.   #182) Gridrunner Girl  Price:  £0.79 Link: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-GB/apps/19c6d4f1-ee63-e011-81d2-78e7d1fa76f8 Video:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_JD7mIfzX0  Developer Blurb:   classic arcade space shooter action meets […]

| May 14, 2012 | 2 Replies

So this is Flight Control – it’s what the Airport game that I’ve demoed on the N900 and N9 is based from. The gameplay is thus about getting the planes to the right landing tracks. Big planes go on the longer runway, the little one on the little runway. You’ll also notice a H. That’s […]

Lumiappaday #180: PAC-MAN demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800 XBoxLive

| May 13, 2012 | 2 Replies

This game needs no introduction. It’s PAC-MAN! The game is controlled by a virtual joystick at the bottom. This  has all the effects and sounds of classic PAC-MAN (unlike the clone versions). At £3.99 it’s hard to recommend for a bit of Nostalgia. It is still as ever, fun to play. As usual, there’s a […]

Lumiappaday #179: The Impossible Game demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800

| May 12, 2012 | 3 Replies

This is one of the most addicting/frustrating running style games out there. It’s called, quite aptly, ‘The Impossible Game’ because that’s what it feels like. If you can calm yourself enough to keep giving it a go, you might be there for a while. Mistakes mean an instant death and restart at the very beginning. […]

This is an interesting accelerometer based puzzle game. You have a ball and a wire-maze. The ball can travel along this ‘wire’ by moving your Lumia. You must get it to the end point but avoid falling or hitting an obstacle or you’ll restart. Drop It Out is in 3D and you can pinch zoom/rotate. […]
