Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Sun, January 29, 2012 is Galactic Striker!



Application Description:

A comic-book style narrative gives the story extra punch

Blast aliens into space dust, save your own skin, and make smart-alecky comments--all at once--in Galactic Striker, an arcade-style, accelerometer-based Android game. This exciting shoot-em-up adventure boasts 3D graphics and even comes with a fully developed comic-book style backstory.

Find Your Way Home, Jack

In Galactic Striker, you're Jack Panic, the world's greatest (and cockiest) astronaut and hero. As the story begins, you're called upon to protect Earth once again--this time from a renegade asteroid. But during this routine mission, you accidentally damage an alien mothership (oops) and insult their leader (double-oops), who subsequently teleports you to the other side of the galaxy (not cool, bro).

To get home again, you'll have to shoot your way through waves of alien attacks and other deep-space obstacles. Tilt your phone to navigate your spaceship, and choose from an ever-expanding list of futuristic weapons as you fight your way through space. You'll need your strongest firepower, steeliest nerves, and sharpest wisecracks to make it back to Earth.

Are you up to this massive challenge? Of course you are--you're Jack Panic! (Let's assume that "Don't" is your middle name.)

A free, ad-supported version of this game is also available.

Fri, February 3, 2012: Flick Kick Field Goal

Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Fri, February 3, 2012 is Flick Kick Field Goal!



Application Description:

Bring the fun and accessibility of flick football to your Android device with this casual sports title from PikPok Games. Try to make kicks from different angles and distances, and even take into account shifting wind speeds and directions. Choose from Sudden Death, Arcade, Time Attack, and Practice modes, then use the intuitive flick controls to begin playing right away. Easy to pick up but hard to put down, this classic time-killer is sure to appeal to casual gamers and die-hard football fans alike.

Use score multipliers to set a new record.

Gameplay

In Flick Kick Field Goal, players take on the role of a field goal kicker on a football team as they try to make kicks of varying difficulty through the goalposts at the end of the field. Pick one of four different game modes: Practice, Sudden Death, Arcade, or Time Attack, and try out Flick Kick Field Goal's intuitive control system to begin making kicks like a pro.

To make a kick, simply line your finger up with the football and flick the touchscreen in the direction of the goalposts. Not every kick is straightforward though: experiment with curving left or right in your followthrough, or give a longer swipe to kick the ball further. Find the technique that works for you, then adjust each kick to account for changing windspeeds and angles.

Challenging Conditions

To add to the difficulty, factor in winds that can come from any angle or change severity with each kick. Anything from a light breeze to gale force winds must be taken into account if you want to succeed.

Online Scores and Achievements

Flick Kick Field Goal features online leaderboards and achievements with OpenFeint support. Rack up the points and then post your newest scores to Flick Kick's global leaderboards. Think you're good? Show off your skills online as you compete against others for the top spot!

Arcade Mode

Make three kicks at eight different positions. Adjust your aim to score as many points as possible, then use the third kick at each position to score additional bonus points. Keep making successful field goals to build up a score multiplier, but watch out for changes in wind strength and direction: you'll need nerves of steel to keep that multiplier going under pressure!

Time Attack

Score as many goals as possible within the given time limit in this quickfire flick kicking challenge. As each successful field goal adds on bonus time, you'll have to keep cool and maintain steady aim to rack up a new highscore.

Practice Mode

Take the pressure of scores and time limits off your shoulders as you perfect your technique and learn how to become the best flick kicker in the world.

Key Features

Simple and intuitive flick controls make it easy to pick up and begin playChallenging gameplay with shifting windspeeds and target distancesLoading screens with famous football quotes and triviaRoaring crowds and full 3D graphics bring a new level of realism to flick footballCompete against others through OpenFeint online scoring and achievements

36 levels of challenging gameplay

Blocks may move from room to room

Vanessa Saint-Pierre Delacroix faces a serious issue--and it's not just signing her name. She is stuck. She is stuck on a six-sided, 3D cube with nothing but a key, a door, and her wits--which are controlled by you. Did her nightmare just become worse?

This is more than just a puzzle game. It's a 3D, spider-infested, stupefying, wonderfully-horrific puzzle nightmare.

Curiosity Captured Vanessa

Vanessa loves two things: puzzles and exploring, and her meddling curiosity has gotten you both into all kinds of mind-boggling trouble. One day, while exploring her father's antique shop, she discovers a mysterious, mechanical box. After fiddling around with it, the box sucks her and her world inside. Use your considerable puzzle-solving skills to twist and turn her way to freedom.

The Stuff of 3D Nightmares

Across more than three dozen levels, guide Vanessa from the entrance of each level to the exit until she finally makes it home. Standing between her and freedom are a number of gameplay mechanics. Move blocks and turn faces of the cube to navigate Vanessa out of this nightmare.

What's so mind-boggling about that, you ask? The two-dimensional world lies on the surface of a three-dimensional magic cube, and you must rotate each face of the cube to find the multiple solutions to only one exit per level.

Return to the Underworld

And it's not just hard the first time. You'll be tempted to go back and replay levels to earn more coins, achievements, and better solutions to each puzzle--as if your productivity in the real world wasn't disrupted enough the first time around.

Now We're Just Showing Off

Maybe you normally dream in black-and-white, but this game is a nightmare deluxe. Vanessa Saint-Pierre Delacroix and Her Nightmare won Best Design in the Independent Game Developers Competition and was a nominee and finalist for the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences Awards, Indie Game Challenge, sponsored by GameStop. Additionally, it was the PAX 10 Official Selection by Penny Arcade Expo.

Enjoy award-winning game design from acclaimed designer, David Sushil complemented with music by Telethon.

Application Description:

Don't use those five clues!

Don't Say That Word!

Buzzwords turns the art of description into a fun and hilarious party game. You're trying to get your teammates to guess a specific word. The tough part involves the words you're NOT allowed to use. Each word comes with five "buzzwords" that happen to be the most common clues related to that word. Naturally, you're not permitted to say any of the buzzwords.

For example, for the word "bankruptcy", you can't say the words "debt", "money", "loan," "file", or "broke" to your teammates. Now just try to describe the concept of bankruptcy without these obvious clues.

Move It or Lose It

If you do use any of those forbidden words, you get buzzed and you lose the turn. You'll soon discover it's an absolutely mind-blowing, frustrating, and uproarious challenge to get your teammates to guess your word without those five common clues.

If you simply can't describe the word successfully to your teammates, tap on Skip to go to the next word. But you better hurry up! You have a limited amount of time to get your teammates to guess the correct word.

Buzz your friends

Customize your teams

Customize Your Game

The team that successfully guesses the most words by the final round wins. Play with up to four teams, and set the number of turns each team will take (2, 4, 6, or 8 turns). You can also customize the length of time per turn (30, 60, or 90 seconds), and play with or without the Skip button.

Buzzwords comes with 1,000 word cards, and the option to use Gesture to mark cards during a turn. Choose team colors and create custom team names, and review and modify cards after each turn if needed. For added quiz show realism, install Buzzwords on a second smartphone so you can buzz your opponents if they say a buzzword.

Party Time

If you enjoy party word games such as Taboo, Charades, and Pictionary, Buzzwords should be invited to your next get-together. Match your verbal and vocabulary wits with your friends, and get buzzing.

Think You've Got It in the Bag?

You'll never look at groceries the same way again

Bagging groceries should be a piece of cake. Heavy, sturdy items on the bottom, light and fragile items on the top--seems simple, right? Think again! Bag It! features more than 50 unique levels, three game modes (Standard, Rampage, and Puzzle), tantalizing grocery combos, custom-tailored translations in seven languages, and much more.

Don't Scramble the Eggs

To play, you'll first choose an aisle from the likes of Fresh Squeeze, Udder Mayhem, Ultimate Bagger, Endless Rampage, and much more. Then start dragging those grocery items into the bag. Be careful--if you throw items in haphazardly, you'll end up with squished bread, broken chips, and fewer points. Watch for timers that indicate when an item is about to break. Tilt your device left and right to shift things around. As you progress through the levels, you'll face various challenges, including rotating items to make them fit or sit upright, rearranging poorly bagged items, and more.

Go for Silver and Gold

Try to get all three stars and both medals for each level. See how your packing skills stack up against others and post your scores to OpenFeint leaderboards.
