New free Flash-based games from Kongregate

Kongregate was bought by GameStop a while ago and now they are offering their app in the Market which will allow you to play over 300 free flash based games.
While this isn't on par with for-pay games from companies like Polarbit or Gameloft, it's something and it's free.
Here's the article.

Update: The app has been removed from the Market with Google saying they didn't do it and GameStop saying that Google did do it. Meh, whatever. Here's the direct link below to download it from Kongregate directly.

Aside from the main screen(s) being only in portrait mode, all the games I've tried go full-screen landscape mode and run really well.
Here's to another time-killer.

hum.. It does not show up in the market for me. Was the app already pulled?

Arrgh! Another app that I can't see in market !

I did a search in the Market on my g Tab running VEGAn rom beta 5.1 and it showed up for me. I am using Swype and had to modify my properties file to mimic a Galaxy Tab. Maybe that's why it showed for me?

Dude! Gotta tell me how you got swype going! Thats awesome!

The instructions are in the thread below. I can't live without Swype on my gTab and my Droid X. My job issued me an iPhone 4 and an iPad and wish I could use Swype on them as well.
Anyway, here it is.

Kongregate Arcade is back in the Market
This app is available in the Market again after they made some changes to the app. The downloaded games are no longer saved to the sd card so you can play them later without launching the arcade app first. Now the arcade app runs the games in memory.
It's still free and runs great on my VEGAn rom beta 5.1 gTab.

Android market vs apple app store.

Today i was looking at the market and realized. Why doesn't the android market have really good games like the apple app store? I have an iPod touch and I use that like my gaming/music device and my phone as a social device?
Anyway I got tired of having to carry both so I got the question of why android doesn't have so many good games..
Is android not that popular right now?
Really good apple app store games I like are stuff like real racing 2, Madden NFL 2011, and etc.... is android going to gets these soon?

it will depend how popular android will be. i believe more games will be on android platform, just matter of time.

The problem is that with android, developers can now run their own markets instead of having to rely on android market for distribution. That means You'll have to go to each developer (Gameloft, EA, etc) and buy from them directly. It sucks that games Real Racing 2 and Dead Space aren't on android yet, but stuff like GT Academy, Dungeon Defenders, and HAWX will tide you over till the big AAA titles finally get ported.
Edit: At least we get Angry Birds for free

One other factor could be that Android fans don't fork out cash like Apple fans do. Android fans persistently pursue free solutions where Apple fans might give in easier.
Free is what XDA has been all about for years. I have never paid for an app out of my pocket.

Whenever I go to the ea website it says there are no games for your phone. Is this because I'm running a gt i9000 rom?

Are there any other sites like ea sports and gameloft that don't have apps in the market but have them on their own?

Plants vs. Zombies on Android

Found a video saying that it should be out by the end of this week and it is demoed on a Xoom so that means it will be tablet compatible.
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F10D_qwQtZ0

Will be free on Amazon Appstore...
Will be free of charge on Amazon App store for a day some time end of this month.
From the web:-
PopCap is finally bringing its quirky, bright colored games to Android. The Seattle based company has signed an exclusive agreement with Amazon to bring its first Android games to the Amazon Appstore. Leading the launch will be the googly-eyed furballs game, Chuzzle. And at the end of the month, the fan-favorite Plants vs. Zombies will be made available. Both games will be featured as the "App of the Day" in the Amazon Appstore and will be free of charge those days. After that, the games will be priced at $2.99 each.

I hope everyone is right and this is coming tomorrow.

Yeah its free on amazon app store today, since its not for tablets its kind of pixelated, oh well!

hmm...thats weird, bc in the youtube video it is played on the Xoom.

Ok, this game made me take the leap and join the amazon app market; which so far seems to be cooler then the Android Market...for now...
Anyway, about the game: It is very very cool. On the Xoom you can def see the pixelation(hope they fix that), but it is more they playable on the Xoom.

You should have joined Amazon appstore already just for the reason it gives you a free app everyday. It is definitely playable on the xoom. The only downfalll is when you collect new plant, it slows down a bit and pixelated.

And as far as Appstore on Amazon, I was glad to see that it gives me the game on each android device I have and what about updates are those free also?

The one in amazon is not tablet optimized but if u search for it on google pvz lepad u should find the tablet optimized. The i've been playing it on my zoom for a week now. I its for tegra devices only. It's weird though the tablet optimized is 47mb only and the one in amazon is 70mb

Thank you thank you! The lepad version is MUCH better than the Amazon market version by a mile. Guys, you will have to delete the Amazon version before installing the optimized version or it will not work. If you get a black screen when trying to load the new version, just quit the app and start again..great graphics!

works like a charm. thanks for the hint

Its also v1.0.0 and the market version is like v1.1
I suspect they will put another version out. Something has to be missing in the v1.0.0 build.

I suppose this explains why I see two different versions of PvZ out there, but to be honest I will just stick with the Amazons versons...No, offence to plants vs zombies levono, but I usually like games like this that are still fully supported and can be updated with a click of a button like with android market and amazon appstore.
But ty for clearing up my confusion as to why their are two different looking versions of PvZ.

thanks for posting the tablet ver it looks so much better than the one on amazon... i still got the amazon anyways so when they do fix it i can just redownload it

Bah no love for Non-US users. I'll try the lenovo one.

Peggle for Android is finally here

I don't always keep the best track of stuff, but when I woke up I found an email saying that today Peggle was free for download. I went to the page then tried to "buy it" via the amazon appstore app on my coom and got an incompatible error. But, I didn't give up, no, I just "bought it" from the site and when it showed up in the download area on my amazon appstore app I downloaded it and it installed and is working as well as plants vs zombies on my Xoom.

I can confirm that the method OP used, does in fact work. Was getting the same incompatible device message, and getting it through the website worked. Was able to "buy" Peggle and then it showed up in the downloads on my Xoom.

Not available in the Market?

Not as of now. For now it is sadly only Amazon appstore exclusive.

Thanks, work for me to (purchase from the web and install from the amazon app)!

Where do you purchase from the web? What's the website.

I must be spoiled because I'm already craving a THD version. Looks too blurry to me

I wouldn't mind a THD version, but to be the graphics are good enough expecially for a game I got for free, but to be honest I am hoping they just update like the maker of angry birds did instead of us having to "buy" the game again...
Actually, to be honest I find this to have better graphics then PvZ which is odd bc Amazon said that PvZ was good with Tabllets and that Peggle wasn't

PVZ graphics are way better. At least the version I have. The game is fun though. Thanks OP for the trick to make WIFI downloads work. The game is fun and takes me back to my Shenmue days when I would spend a lot of time playing a similar game.

I was able to install from the appstore app on xoom just by trying a few times. Works perfectly.

[WANTED] Riptide GP for Tegra 2

Android Market won't allow me to install MotoPack, because I am in Brazil. The only thing from MotoPack that interests me is Riptide GP for Tegra 2.
Is there anyone who can send me the APK that, for the Xoom?
Thanks in advance.

The app costs $2.99 so that would be asking for Warez..... which isn't allowed.
The Motopack app just shows apps that are tablet optimized and links to them in the Android Market, you should be able to just go into the Market and find the app listed there, then pay your US $2.99 and be happy you have a great game to play.

^^ What he said.
