Thu, December 1, 2011: BreakTheBlocks Full

Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Thu, December 1, 2011 is BreakTheBlocks Full!



Application Description:

Break the blocks

Where's the ball?

Smooth Gameplay

Do you remember playing Arkanoid when you were a kid at the local arcade? The simple joy of moving the trackball from side to side and breaking blocks became hypnotic and addictive. Now you can relive your brick breaking days with BreakTheBlocks Full. To play the game, all you have to do is swipe your fingers across the screen to control the spaceship platform. You will be surprised at how flawless these controls are. There aren't any jerking motions here; it is just a smooth transition from one movement to the next.

Once you get the hang of the game's controls, you can use your device's accelerometer to control your platform. This will allow you to follow the ball and platform by maneuvering the device by tilting it back and forth. To select the control preferences, all you have to do is press the Menu button on your Android device and select the Controls option on the display. It is so simple to play.

Keep Your Eye on the Ball

The key to this game is to keep your eye on the ball. Try to keep the same ball to destroy the blocks on one level. But if you find that you aren't quick enough to break all the blocks with one ball, you will get plenty of chances. The screen displays your remaining balls and which level you are on in a small section of the screen that doesn't distract your game.

Plenty of Extras

As you break the bricks in each level, little capsules will fall. Catch each of these pills and you can speed up or slow down the ball, make the paddle shorter or longer, gain bonus points or extra life to help you with each level. There are 50 levels in this full version. And unlike the lite version, this application comes without advertisements.

Fri, December 2, 2011: Pool Bar HD

Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Fri, December 2, 2011 is Pool Bar HD!



Application Description:

Get ready to rack 'em up

Calling all pool sharks! Casual league players and those that like to shoot some pool with friends after work and on the weekends are also welcome. Whether you're an award-winning pool pro, or just think you're a pro, Pool Bar HD is the app for you. With realistic 3D images and accurate physics as well as a variety of classic games and difficulty levels, Pool Bar HD is a must have for all pool lovers.

Play 9-Ball and 8-Ball (US or UK)

Pool Bar HD features three games in one. Players can test their skills with the classic 9-ball or show their allegiance and play American- or British-style 8-ball. Either way, you'll feel like you just stepped into your favorite neighborhood pub for a game of pool and a pint. To immerse yourself in the experience, ambient bar sounds and music as well as true-to-life sound effects accompany your gameplay.

Line up your shot

Realistic Play

To start, select whether you'd like to play by yourself or with a friend, and then select the type of pool game to play. Before you chalk up your pool stick, you need to select the number of racks to play (one or best out of three or five) and aiming levels (standard or expert). The game was designed to mimic real-life pool with full touchscreen interface for highly accurate, intuitive control and spin. A guide to the game controls is presented at the start of the game. Swipe to aim and shoot; tap to move the ball and adjust the camera view; and tap the cue ball to add spin. You can control the force of your shot with your finger. During game play, you can hit the pause button at any time to see the controls again, or if you are interrupted.

Play Against a Friend or the App

Pool Bar HD supports single or two-player mode. Each player gets to select their avatar: Johnny, Cynthia, Kim, or Victor. If you choose to play against the app, your opponent's avatar is automatically selected. In single-player mode, choose from easy, medium, or hard skill levels. Watch out though, you better know what you're doing in the hard level if you don't want to hear the bar "boo" at the end of the game. If worse comes to worst, you can always concede the match and practice your amateur skills.

Mon, December 12, 2011: Corona Indie Bundle

Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Mon, December 12, 2011 is Corona Indie Bundle!



Application Description:

Can you solve the Manor mystery?

Robots invade from the sky

Used to getting just one game per mobile app? How would you like to get five different games in one package? It sounds too good to be true, but that's exactly what you are purchasing with this game bundle--five separate, complete games in one app: Grisly Manor, Robot 99, Walkabout, Chickens Quest, and Float.

The Games

Grisly Manor

A visit to Grandpa's house always promised a little magic when you were a child. A fantastic engineer, he was always coming up with new ideas and inventions that never failed to amaze. But Grandpa has mysteriously vanished--it's up to you to explore his creaky house, solving the puzzles and uncovering the secrets that will explain his disappearance in this engrossing game.

Familiar objects around the house have been re-engineered to create a variety of challenging puzzles for you. Clues abound, and as each puzzle is solved, another one materializes. Grandpa obviously spent a lot of time making sure that only you would find him and uncover his big secret. Hopefully it's not too grisly!

Robot 99

In this fast and furious game, robots fall from the sky like so many raindrops. Your job is to catch them before they crash onto the pavement and transport them to Powerizona. Hold them in this special zone for as long as you can to collect extra points, but don't get too greedy, or a plummeting robot will slip by you. If three robots hit the ground, your game is over.

Walkabout

Queenie needs your help collecting the Magic Stars scattered throughout her kingdom. But be careful: One wrong move could leave you trapped, with no way out. There are 64 levels to negotiate, split across four regions of the kingdom. While you travel, you will discover keys that unlock eight further bonus levels. You'll have to be at your best to complete them all.

Peep-peep-peep all the way home

Queenie's quest is to collect all the stars

Chickens Quest

It was a dark and spooky night. The animals are all sound asleep on the farm--but an evil presence lurks. Suddenly, a scream rings out. There's been a chick-napping!

Your job in Chickens Quest is to help rescue the chicks by guiding them home. There will be plenty of obstacles in their way, but these cute little peepers are counting on you to lead them back to Mama Hen, Papa Rooster, and safety. Along the way you can collect stars, earn helpful items, and pile up points as you move through increasingly difficult levels in this fun barnyard romp.

Float

Float is a game with a concept similar to Robot 99, only instead it's balloons rather than robots that you need to keep aloft. Tap the screen below the balloons before they reach the bottom, where sharp spikes await them. But whereas the robots drop like stones, these inflated objects peacefully float down the screen. Tap, bobble, and bump your way to fun. With multiple game modes (including Timed, Limbo, and Zen), various achievements, and leaderboards, this game contains something for everyone.

Fri, December 16, 2011: Bird's the Word

Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Fri, December 16, 2011 is Bird's the Word!



Application Description:

In case you haven't heard, the Bird is the Word. And now it's also an entertaining game for your Android device.

Don't let the pesky birds block you!

Cheep Cheep

In Bird's the Word, the goal is to make as many words as you can, as fast as you can. Highlight the letters in the word and then enter it--the Submit button turns green as soon as you've created a legitimate word of three letters or more. When you do, the letters disappear and different ones take their places. The longer the word, the more points you get, and there are lots of special bonus letters that pop up as you go.

There is a catch: Make sure that all the letters in the word are touching each other. If not, a sneaky bird will fill one of the spaces rather than a new letter. The more birds that perch on the board, the harder it will be make new words. Don't let the winged menaces thwart you!

Three Ways to Wing It

With this game you can create a flap three different ways. In Classic mode, you must fill up the score bar as quickly as possible to advance to the next level. To make it to the top of the pecking order, score more points at each new level within the same amount of time.

Can you earn your eagle's wings?

With Timed mode, you try to collect as many points as possible before the clock runs out. Word Worm is a fun twist, where each new word must start with the last letter of the previous one. Remember that the early bird gets the worm--you only have 30 seconds to find each word. Think fast, bird brain.

The game tracks stats such as longest word, average word length, time per word, and high scores for each game mode. The more you play and the higher you score, the more achievements you pile up: Word Warrior, Nesting Instincts, Squabble, Pest, Stunner, etc. As you go further into the game, you'll be able to unlock special birds and other features.

Word War

Since birds of a feather flock together, you can also go beak-to-beak with your friends in Bird's the Word through Facebook. Just select Challenge on the main menu and pick out one of your friends. Then play a game in any mode and when you finish, a challenge will automatically be sent to your friend's wall. Can you soar with the eagles or are you going to end up hanging out with turkeys?

What year was the Battle of Hastings? Who was the last .400 hitter in Major League Baseball? Which pop star had a hit with "Genie in a Bottle"? If trivia is your game, you'll love Quisr Pro for Android.

I'll Take Movies for $200, Alex

Let's face it: you know way too many obscure facts for your own good. What better way to show off all that useless knowledge than crushing your friends and ruling the world in a trivia game on your phone or tablet? That's what you can do with Quisr.

Who Is Today's Lucky Contestant?

The first time you open up Quisr you'll need to create a unique profile. This allows you to participate in the worldwide leaderboards, and also enables you to create your own questions and review others' suggested questions. You can even add an avatar to your profile to express your individuality.

Challenge your friends in Multiplayer mode

Not a Trivial Pursuit

Now that you're registered, your pride is on the line. Quisr offers two modes of play: Singleplayer, where the app feeds you a series of questions, and Multi Player, where you and up to three of your trivia-loving friends can duke it out on your device. This mode is based on the "first to buzz in" method of gameplay, and it's great for tablets. Note that trash-talking in Quisr is allowed (although trash-talking in Singleplayer mode is kind of silly).

Is that Your Final Answer?

Quisr features more than 1,000 different questions, with more being added all the time. You'll find eight categories included, everything from geography to sports and games to entertainment to history to--well, you get the picture. How culturally literate are you? You'll find out quickly with this app.

Unlike some quiz games, the questions are not all boring multiple choice. Sometimes you'll be given a rotating list and asked to pick out the two or three correct answers for that question. There is a timer, so don't think you have all day to Google the answer or ask your Mom for help. Questions are worth different amounts of points, based on level of difficulty and how fast you answer. If you're stuck, you can use a Joker option to stop the timer, eliminate wrong answers, or skip the question entirely.

Earn bonuses by correctly answering multiple questions in a row. If you get enough right, you'll advance to the next level. Miss too many, though, and it'll be "Thanks for playing!"

King of the Trivia World

After each game, Quisr tells you your total score for that game, your high score to date, and where you rank on the worldwide leaderboard. You can also go to the Quisr website and see the details, as well as participate in the making and reviewing of questions that will then appear in subsequent quizzes. See if you can stump your fellow players and claw your way to the top of the trivia heap with Quisr.

Tue, December 20, 2011: Sound Sleep Deluxe Edition (Music Therapy)

Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Tue, December 20, 2011 is Sound Sleep Deluxe Edition (Music Therapy)!



Application Description:

Soothing sounds for relaxation

Sound Sleep Deluxe Edition (Music Therapy) is an Android music app that is designed to help you unwind and relax, so you can sleep more soundly. With low-speed alpha waves, the sounds will comfort your mind and help you to naturally and smoothly fall asleep. The app is easy to use, so you can simply let the soothing sounds carry you off into a deep and restorative slumber.

Ambient Sound Mixer

There are plenty of natural noises to select from in Sound Sleep Deluxe Edition, such as ocean waves, gentle rain, and other pleasant ambient sounds. The Deluxe Edition of Sound Sleep (Music Therapy) features a sound mixer that allows you to customize each track. You can include one or several ambient noises, and adjust the volume of each for the perfect mix.

Creative and Enriching Sounds

The tracks offered in Sound Sleep Deluxe Edition are far from so-called leisure music. Rather, you'll experience relaxing natural sounds with embedded alpha waves, which are delicately set to a rhythm of a specific frequency. Certain sound effects also have the potential to awaken the subconscious to soothe you as well as spark your imagination and creativity.

How It Works

The low-speed alpha waves in Sound Sleep Deluxe Edition have a frequency of 8 Hz to 9 Hz, which stimulates a brain state that is close to sleep. To generate such a frequency in the listener's brain, binaural beats are applied. For example, if the left ear is presented with a steady tone of 500 Hz and the right ear with a steady tone of 508Hz, the difference, 8 Hz, is perceived by the brain and is a very effective stimulus for brainwave entrainment.

You will also enjoy the app's elegant interface, varied music themes, and options to specify listening time and set an alarm. Let the sounds in Sound Sleep Deluxe Edition help you to feel more relaxed and sleep more soundly.
