| April 30, 2012 | Reply

SniperBoy is a game about a kid with a sniper riple who has to shoot some robot targets down. His rifle fires a laser which may or may not bounce, showing where his bullet will ricochet. It’s actually a lot of fun, and reminds me somewhat of Portals 2D. Try to make sure you shoot [...]

Lumiappaday #166: 3D Akranoid demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800

| April 29, 2012 | 7 Replies

  3D Akranoid is another version of a block breaker ‘Arkanoid’ game. This one is in 3D more than most, though the game is not so much about having that paddle and catching the ball, but more like whack-a-mole as you only need to tap the bricks to engage the ball to smash them. You [...]

Lumiappaday #164: Bonnie’s Brunch demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800

| April 27, 2012 | 4 Replies

This looks like something straight out of the Nintendo DS to me with that anime cartoony child like theme to it, and I thought it would just be a game for kids but when you get into it, it’s quite challenging/fun. The premise is to match the order very quickly (and correctly) for Bonnie’s customers. [...]

-Woops, this got stuck in the drafts. Burn The Rope is an accelerometer based puzzle game where you have to burn the rope that has been formed into a pattern. However the flames can only burn upwards, otherwise it will fizzle out. You have to burn a specific amount of rope (not necessarily all of [...]

Lumiappaday #162: Max & the Magic Marker demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800

| April 25, 2012 | 10 Replies

This is Max & the Magic Marker, a pretty fun game with an interesting gameplay.  It reminds me of Numpty Physics for the N900 where your drawing interacts with the game. However it is a platformer, so you, as max have to traverse the different levels, using the market when appropriate. I meant to demo [...]

 Rupix is a Rubik’s Cube style game with a twist. Instead of a block of colours for each face, you have a design, the default one at the start being an impressive animated one. The controls are very intuitive, just touch and rotate each portion of the Rupix cube, single finger to rotate or you [...]

  As you can guess from the title, AppFlow is an app to find more apps. App Discovery is a very important feature to address in an app store (well, as is discovery in any store). When you have a wealth of items, you’re going to want to make sure the consumer gets to everything [...]

I wanted to demo this a while ago because I love Spotify, but you would need to have a Premium account to use the the Spotify Mobile app (on any platform). The app is well laid out and is very well integrated into your Lumia. The music controls appear when pressing the volume buttons (like [...]

Hey, this is just a quick demo of a game called ‘Chickens Can’t Fly’. I can’t say I’ve played anywhere near enough to tell you all about the game but it does run very well and looks pretty nice; a polished app as you’d expect from an XboxLive title with a fun and interesting game [...]

You my have seen on Twitter, I have published an RSS Viewer for MyNokiaBlog to the WP Marketplace. It is very minimalistic, and basic. Which is, in my opinion what an RSS feed should be like. Being an RSS Feed, the app is limited to the latest posts. I am currently in the process of [...]

Squirrel is a pretty cool 3D runner where you as a squirrel must run up a tree, collecting fruit and nuts. The controls are either accelerometer based (tilt) or touch (sliding your finger). Avoid hitting the branches or it’s game over. If you carry an acorn, you can take a hit (like Sonic when he [...]

Here is a simple app, not really something I would use though many people might find it useful. MSN celebrity is a hub to follow the latest news on celebrities. What I rally like is the UI. One continuous panorama sheet which you can scroll one way or the other. Note the different sized ’tiles’ [...]

This is the official foursquare app. Pretty much just a quick demo of what it looks like on Lumia as opposed to a review. I don’t have much time at the moment to fully explore these apps so hopefully a demo will do for now. I’m not really a Foursquare user, I haven’t been hit [...]

This was, surprisingly, a really great looking and fun game to play. I say surprising as I didn’t know what to expect and was pleasantly met with some really  polished looking visuals with very addictive gameplay. You are a snowboarder and you use accelerometer (and later touch) to traverse the slopes and do stunts. At [...]

| April 14, 2012 | 9 Replies

This game is rather like Implode!, but with Gerbils. On the surface – demolish a structure of gerbils with bombs. It is much more colourful and you do get the ‘cuteness’ factor of Gerbils either praising or mocking you. The weapons act rather differently too, with the initial denotation being timed (as opposed to you setting [...]

I know I only just demoed a Block Breaker game yesterday but this is yet another very good version of that game style. Oddly, 3D Brick Breaker Revolution has only got 2.5 stars at Marketplace – quite undeserved as it’s a brilliant game at a very decent price, lots of fun and possibly my favourite [...]

IonBallEX is a block breaker style game updated with some style. The game play is as expected, breaking blocks, moving the ‘paddle’ picking up some power-ups, but then there were things I did not expect, such as a ‘boss’ where there are no blocks but some canon thing trying to shoot you and you have [...]

If you enjoyed the IMDB app, you’ll also like GoodMovie. I believe that this is actually an app made by one of our readers, Jesse. It’s a pretty nice looking movie app with a lot of nice touches. The Metro interface is clean, with swift swipes in between the movie info. I like how the [...]
