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. [...]

iBomber Defense for S^3 – Demoed on N8

| May 12, 2012 | 17 Replies

Here’s a pretty cool game that was just released for Symbian devices- it’s called iBomber Defense and it’s pretty sweet. I think the N9 did a pretty decent job focusing on such small movements on the screen- quite impressive. http://store.ovi.com/content/224846?clickSource=search&pos=1 Source

Lumiappaday #178: Drop it Out demoed on the Nokia Lumia 800

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. [...]

I don’t normally write posts about WP app updates (there’d be too many) but this is one I wanted to share because it makes the game more usable (again). Actually I missed the 1.3 update (I may have blindly clicked update as it’s too easy to update stuff). http://mynokiablog.com/2012/03/12/lumiappaday-118-portals-2d-demoed-on-the-nokia-lumia-800/ I loved the game ‘Portals 2D’ [...]

This was one of the very first games I tried on WP. It’s a digging game, and you’re a digging strategy machine. Make your way to mine some items which you can sell at the surface. Your digger uses up petrol to power the digger and the rockets (for going back up to the surface [...]

Your Manga Reader is a fully functioning Manga reader that allows you to download and read thousands (not an exaggeration) of comics in either English or Vietnamese.  Personally I’m not a huge Manga guy (hardly at all) but I know alot of people who are practically addicted so this might come in handy. – I assume the awkward [...]

Jason Walsh from Nokia shares this presentation of Nokia City Lens. This lets you explore and discover things around you – apparently not just in an arbitrary way but showing you what’s actually around you. It’s not anything particularly new to me, but I do applaud them on this style of presentation that shows off [...]

At first glance from the screenshots, Rocket Riot doesn’t look all that exciting.  This is actually a surprisingly fun and addictive game and looks really exciting in that retro-modern splash kinda thing. Apparently this was an Xbox Live arcade game that is ported to WP7. Not sure how it was on non-touch but it’s pretty [...]

Totemo is a cross platform puzzle game. As you can guess, there is a Totem Pole/Shaman theme. The aim of the game is to release/guide the spirits. Basically match things. Some spirits need to be paired (And can only be paired with those on the same vertical or horizontal axis). They may only need one [...]

This game reminds me a little of System Rush Evolution, a pretty cool 3D racing game on the N93/N95. It’s an accelerometer based racing style game, though you’re not really racing anyone, just travelling along this very lumia inspired tube. There are items to try and get and obstacles avoid. #173) Warp  Price:  £0.99 Link: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-gb/apps/da1fe4fa-1769-e011-81d2-78e7d1fa76f8 [...]

Need For Speed Undercover is the older NFS game but it’s the version I prefer playing. There’s also NFS Hot Pursuit.
