Pew pew is a great game for xoom. Very addicting.
#2 costs like 2$. I'm going to download it and ill let you guys know how it is on the xoom!

First thoughts, nice to support the dev.
All the original game modes are still there, adds campaign, and 3 new challenge modes. Nice large update, but that's what it is... an update.
I reccomend it! I know ill be playing it for hours tomorrow haha.

he could have used a better naming scheme, PewPew Lite/Free and PewPew rather than the one and two monikers. Still, one of the absolute best games out for android and I have actually grown to like it even better than geometry wars. I have also noticed some graphical touches not present in the original pewpew like the 3d oscilatting background in certain menus. Also much more music, I like the remix of the main theme. The campaign is imaginative and a fresh break from the challenge modes. Speaking of which, the new ones are pretty aweseme like "highway" for example, a massive circle of rotating enemys and you have to play in traffic to chase after a ball. This is my favorite game for android. No question. Especially for the Xoom!
Hello folks,
I've been looking around for a couple of games for the Nook STR. I've got several "slow movement" games to run properly: sudoku, reversi and gobandroid.
Is there any other recommended game? A RPG maybe? Maybe card games?
One Word - Samurai II.
[ Joking - sorry =( ]
Stop the spamming of the NOOK COLOR Themes and Apps forum.
There are areas for deviceces without own forum.

I don't agree... The Nook clearly deserves a forum more than most of the devices that have been crowded into those other forums. Not only that, the Nook is pretty much a Nook Color under the hood =\, so optimizations in the Nook Color could possibly be brought over if the devs or future devs are made more aware of what's going on with it.
Besides... Every Nook Touch topic i've seen is labeled with [N2E] not to hard to avoid =|
Chess works great! It is almost as if it were meant for it all along. I am surprised frankly that B&N didn't bundle a few little board game apps on the Nook2 in the first place.
Also, Akinator (guessing game) works as well.
Tic tac toe!
Tic tac toe works with a friend using Freenote!
Okay, the Nook running Freenote only serves as scratch paper to play the game, but nevertheless it worked.
alchemie with textmode and tap to combine is playable too
The sudoku app Andoku Sudoku ( com.googlecode.andoku ) has fairly little flickering.
Has anyone found a sudoku app that is even better suited for the Nook eink screen?
Please name specific apps (not just types of apps). There are a whole lot of chess apps so getting details on one that runs well on Nook saves time.
This is the chess I tired:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.chess
Games working on my Nook Touch:
Crimson Fields
Andoku
Four in a Row HD
Find it on the market
Tried some, but most of them has some level of ghosting:
Working so far:
- Klondike
- Reversi free
- Nemo picross
- GObandroid (to play Go! - very good)
- Super Sudoku
- Klondike free
- Dark nova (used to love Space Trader on my old Treo)
Still looking for a viable RPG - I guess Eye of the Beholder ou Bard's Tale style would work.
andoku
I have andoku running, but cannot access the check puzzle feature. Suggestion?
Never mind ..went to andoku 2. Works fine
Nethack and the Slashem variant are both great for the nook! Maybe its a little to retro for some but IMO you can't beat a classic like nethack. There's your rpg
tried nethack, but the screen was too darn small. Will try slash'em!!! Thanks
Here are some other great games:
Slitherlink.
Curvy (For two colored puzzles you have to set the second color to the middle between white and black).
Droid Fish. One oft the best chess engines with a very nice sleek design, perfect for the touch. Cuckoo engine with very low setting is great for kids learning chess - it makes a lot of mistakes
Shift. Black and White! Sadly almost unplayable without multitouch. Edit: Search for v1.2, works great and is maybe the only platform game working on STR
Search for "Simon Tatham's Puzzles" in Market. It is great.
tried nethack, but the screen was too darn small.

@apeine: Map volume up/down to sidebuttons --> zoom in and out
Thanks for the tip, gogolo2. Will try that! My buttons are already mapped.
Does anybody know where I can download FALLEN REALMS? It is a free app, but I couldn't download it through market, even though it is an android 2.1 version app. Tried all non-official download sites, but almost all of them lead me back to android market, and looking for "fallen realms apk" took me to almost 35 sites that I couldn't get anything at all.

Why not download it on your phone then back it up... and side load it to the nook.
I found this awesome movie manager for anyone running Honeycomb at the moment. Michell Bak, the developer, said he is working on a version for GB and Froyo as well. Check it out if you haven't already.
Thanks!
Yeah, it is pretty slick! I will probably get the paid app when I get more titles on my tablet. I have noticed that the widget does not load the images until the app is opened...does ths happen for anyone else?
Purchased my copy of app
This app is awesome. Really makes my tablet complete when its movie night with the wife. Visually it looks amazing and functions very well.
Wondering if there is any project or even - a app i havent found yet - for simple 3D modeling on honeycomb. Something between Chrome "3Dtin" and Google sketchup.
I would love to create some simple 3d projects on my xoom and maybe even animate it...
I would even help to start such a project. although i am not a programmer, i know many 3d software tools, grafics, icons, skins, et cetera...
I would also like to see a version of Google Sketchup for the Xoom. I have used sketchup to convey simple mechanical concepts to others and it would be great to at least be able view the models I have created on my Xoom.
viewing would be nice. But i think there is only a viewer for Autocad. i believe that modeling, needs quite an advanced interface and touchscreen handling, so i am not surprised, that there is no such app.
So where are the volunteers for the honeycomb BLENDER port?
I was playing around a little bit today with the official NASA application, after being annoyed by its slowness. I modified it a bit to use the 2D hardware acceleration, and enabled a little bit of the "Holo" default Honeycomb theme, kinda. Not sure why all devs don't put that one little tiny line of code in their apps, but man is it a ton smoother. APOD pics are far more fun to look through with it.
Anyway, grab it if you want. It's not perfect, but it was a fun little thing to mess with. (attached)
Great! A must have... Thanks a lot!
Neat! Thanks.
Neat! Thanks.
this is great for viewing APOD pics, thanks!
Will try this out, thanks.
