[Q] Spectral Souls

Has anyone tried downloading this and running it on their Gtabs? just checked today and they had a new update that allows for tegra 2 support. I've had my eye on this game for quite some time but was reluctant due to the lack of tegra 2 support and the small disclaimer/known issue in the description that said "could not work & crash on 'uncertified' Google Android devices like Archos Tablet, Nook, etc".
So before i go psycho on my wallet and spend +/- 15 usd on this thing, I need someone who owns a Gtab, and was brave enough to buy this game, to confirm compatibility and if so, list down known issues based on experience. Thanks again xda peeps!

nice, there is another thread about this game i think. a guy was wondering why the game would crash on him lol. you should search for that thread and ask him to update his app.

i must be getting rusty w/ my searching skills but so far the only threads i've seen about the game are for non tegra 2 devices (NC, Dell Streak, phones, etc) so really somewhat of an "apples and oranges" type of comparison. anyway just checking if anyone who owns the Gtab specifically have tried this game out lately... but no rush (considering that the update was just rolled out less than 24 hrs ago). eagerly awaiting for some first-hand insights!

Just noticed it this morning too. Good chance that I will try it this evening. I honestly don't see why it would crash on the nook though. If all else fails, I still have my Captivate to play it on. It did look nice on the g-tab when I watched it on youtube. I can say this, if your a fan of classic rpgs the sound track alone will blow you away, at least all of what I heard.

I took the $15.00 plunge this morning. The game has a 1 GB download for game data, so you're going to go well beyond the 15 minute refund limit. On the other hand, you gotta love any program that simulates Pong while the download is being counted down.
Once the download is complete, I'll let you know. Looks like it's gonna' take a couple of hours as I'm running this off a EVO hotspot.

looking forward to your impressions of the game -especially those very noticeable pros and cons! i've been a long standing fan of classic JSRPG's ever since i first played final fantasy tactics a long while back and have been left hooked ever since (even enjoyed 2D JSRPG's with mediocre-to-crappy graphics)

Also am interested on this. I really want to purchase, but I want to know that it will work on the GTab (Vegan B5.1.1).

The download continues...and Pong is suddenly less fun to watch than it was in my youth. About 1/3 of the way home....

Winner!
Download is done....and Pong now totally sucks. Anyway, bottom line is.....it works. While I haven't had a chance to go too far into the the game, I can tell you that the soundtrack and graphics are both top notch! Is it worth $15.00? Yes.....yes it is if you're into this kind of game.
If you were waiting to buy this but were worried about it running on the GTab, I say go for it. Mind you, I'm on Vegan 5.1.1 so I can't talk about any other ROM.

ah yes, I looked for it too and thought I was going crazy or something lol.
It was in General forum not the app forum.
I posted a link on their thread to this thread.

Thanks for taking the plunge. I had been reading the market reviews to see if a gtablet owner was satisfied. Its way easier to toss 15 bones into the aether knowing your getting something from it.

You're welcome. Feeling bad for the developer because everybody is taking it for granted by rating it low simply because it takes a long time to download / lag (because they're using a older device) / purchased it at full price / etc.
I mean come on, it's a good game and a lot of effort was put into it.

Nice. Thanks.

Does the game run smooth on your Nexus S? It's not smooth on mine. The graphics are all laggy like less than 20 fps.

WOW, very nice!

it's been several hours, and i've had it with it...
the download breaks down every other file -_-
and then you have to start it all over again, more or less

that's odd. mine downloaded fine in about 15 seconds...

Thanks for the heads-up! Downloading now

It seems the game doesn't work on my i9023(unrooted).
I don't understand why.
Is it a bug or something?
I almost turned off every other app to make room for enough ram.
Need second confirmation.

if you still have problem downloading grab the full package from the developers http://dungeondefenders.com/androidmobile
and follow their instructions

you have to restart your phone after installing the game

mine stuck at the start screen

I downloaded it on friday from market. Its works fine on my i9023.
Only it was a lot of download of files before the first run.
The whole download took about 30 minutes.

This actually pisses me off.the people(including me) dont get any bonus,extra or what ever for buying the app.this is a big slap in the face for early adopters

Cooool, downloading....

9023

Dl and works fine, lvl 10 so far. Kinda laggy at times with alot of monsters come out, but still very playable. I try and do online play but always get kicked out...i guess they dont like lvl10 ppl

This is laggy as hell for me, and im clocked at 1.3ghz, uninstalled.
Is it actualyl smooth for anyone? Or are ya just putting up with the frames?

[game talk] Paradise Island

I've been playing Paradise island for about a week now.
I'm loving it.
So thought I would share some tips and hopefully get some back.
Currently I am level 12.
When starting the game best things to do.
build 40 roads ( or 400 if you are bored)
This gives you a free $1250 plus 40xp
leave the screen on for 3
This gives you $5000
Plant 5 flowers ( costs $1500)
gives you $3000 plus 200 XP
Move your first buildings 20 times
gives you £1500 and 50xp
This means you start the game with an extra $9250 and 290xp
Once you are high enough level get a business centre you get 1 of the special money every day save that up for expansions.
Odd achievements
Do 5 things in a moment.
I spent ages trying to collect money as fast as i could.
For this you need to pay the extra and do a instant build.
Secret achievements I have
Stop the hum/rumble ( cant remember the name it changes once you get it)
move to solar power only.
Hotdog fan
$4000 200xp
Build 15 hotdog stands
Atristocrat
Build 3 golf clubs at the same time
$75000 1250xp
We remember about the defender
Build two hold defenders simultaneously
$30000 and 1500xp
Hope people can add to this and it doesn't just get lost in the void.

thanks for the tips
I have also started playing the game recently but got bored by having to move those buildings and making roads
Will try your tips

Also hotdog stands are great at the start only give you $70 but you get one XP every 2 mins. So.have like 10 and you will level up much faster.

To add to the "hidden message" in the OP:
If you use the system clock to advance the time, you will notice that if you advance it a week, you have to wait a week for the game to catch up to it before you can play normally again. However, there is a way around this.
All you have to do is put something in storage and place it back on the map. Once you do that, the clock resets on that building and you don't have to wait for the game to catch up to the date that you advanced it to. However, you would have to place every individual building in storage and back on the map in order to reset everything on the map. This can get annoying once you expand a few regions and you have a bunch of buildings, so keep that in mind.

Developers of Paradise Island have blocked the time trick with last update

I had a back-up done with Titanium Backup that allowed me to restore the previous version. Coincidentally enough, I had done a backup the day before the new version came out, so I was able to restore it hardly lose any progress I had made.
Yay me!

Started playing yesterday. You have to spend a lot of time at the beginning. I'm lvl8 now and just built the business center and the galaxy restaurant (improving atm). Now I want to get rid of all those "fast money makers" so I can check every hour to collect my money and thats it I moved tree's like an idiot lol, but I got the skillfull designer achievement. now I have to move another 1k facilities, LOL!
question about "the sun only"-achievement:
If I get rid of all my windmill's and build a solar power plant for 60k I'll get the achivement + 200k? seems very fair to me and what if I rebuild some windmills afterwards? will I lose 200k?^^

I googled a bit about "the sun only"-achievement. many complained about not getting the reward allthough they have a solar plant and no windmills. lets hope this is not happening to me, just started building a solar plant. when its done I'm gonna destroy the windmills, hope the achievement's gonna trigger

I really like it ^_^

So my wife had a Droid 1 which I have rooted and backed up with TB. No she has a Droid Charge and would like her island game moved to the new phone along with her progress. Seeing how I cant root her phone yet (ver. ed2) Is there a way to move the app over and bring the data with it?
Not sure where else in the forums to post this question.
Thanks

I just started playing this game and I think I'm addicted.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App

Plants vs. Zombies free on Amazon 3/31 only!

I'm sure it has been posted already on another phone forum, but figured I would share in case some of you are not aware of this.

Brilliant game. Been waiting ages for this to land on Android.
I am so glad I took the time to get the Amazon appstore working despite being UK based. I've scored some absolutely blinding free apps through it.

OMFG this game is DRUG!! Do not play! Do yourself and your family a favor and do not start playing this game, I stood yesterday night from 9:30 to almost 3 in the morning without noticing how time flew by, Jesus!
The most addicting game I have ever played, I could travel by train a week long and wouldn't get bored, all I need is my charger.

Got it on on android....

I cant get this to work on my Nexus S
I have MIUI right now. I'm about to install 1.6.3 to see if it makes any diff.

Kona's crate!

today's free app on the amazon appstore, reg. 2.99
http://www.amazon.com/Indie-Pub-Kon...1?ie=UTF8&s=mobile-apps&qid=1308836700&sr=1-1
One of the professors at my college (RIT) made it, I've been beta testing it for a few months back when it was called blocks, and it's a really well made game. Get it today while it's free! Or wait, support a developer working on a professor's salary

Nice, I'm an RIT alum!

I have a bunch of games on my Tbolt even though I'm not much of a game player. You know, the ones you "have" to have like Angry Birds (why are those birds so angry anyway?).
So I took a flier on Kona's Crate today, seeing as how the price is right. And you know, it's pretty fun! The graphics are great and it's kind of addictive. I was playing on my lunch hour and before I knew it, time was up. Keeping that thing stable and upright while navigating the obstacles is kind of maddening. You keep saying, "Ok, one more time. Ok, one more time."

Thanks, I was thinking about downloading it. I will give it a shot now.

Good thing you posted this because when I saw it I initially dismissed it as it seemed "meh" from the icon on Amazon. I'm def. gonna download it now as after looking at the screenshots it seems fun!

It is fun but once you touch a wall and the crate it off center its a major pain, and like major said "just one more time"
