Thu, June 9, 2011: Random Mahjong Pro (Ad-Free)
Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Thu, June 9, 2011 is Random Mahjong Pro (Ad-Free)!
Application Description:
Just when you thought Mahjong had been covered, along comes a stylish new solitaire Mahjong game ready to take centre stage on the Android platform. Random Mahjong Pro looks incredible on tablets while still managing to stay visually sharp and play great on smartphones.
Each game may be played in landscape or portrait mode
Develop your own games with the custom mode
The game uses a unique, random-board generator. This means that every time you fire up your Android and start a game, a fresh challenge awaits. The levels can be as small as 32 tiles, or as large as 152 tiles. You can play a sequence of expanding boards (with Score, Levels and Lives), or use the random generator to build a custom level to fit your needs.
Tiles Ready!
With Random Mahjong Pro, you have full control over the look and feel of your games, whether you're a mahjong master or a someone that's brand new to the game. Choose to zoom in and scroll as much as you need during play and adjust the size and complexity of the levels. You can also look over the game guides and take a peek at the move hints option to bolster your learning during play.
For beginners there's the small, 32-tile level. For every level, there's a solution walkthrough corresponding with each board. The combination serves as a perfect teaching tool for the game's basic rules and logic, especially to anyone who has not played the solitaire or Shanghai variant of mahjong before.
Game With a Past
The origins of mahjong are steeped in equal parts myth and historical speculations. On the mythical side of the debate is the legendary Chinese philosopher Confucius. Some have ventured he developed the game about 2,500 years ago in 500 BC.
On the historical side, there's a theory that states Chinese army officers serving during the Taiping Rebellion created the game to pass the time. Another theory holds that a nobleman living in the Shanghai area created the game between 1870 and 1875. Also, there are those who believe that two brothers from Ningpo used the earlier game madiao to create mahjong around 1850.
One thing that's sure, though, is the repression the game received when the People's Republic of China too power in 1949. The new communist government forbade gambling because of its symbolic tie to capitalist corruption. However, after the Cultural Revolution, the game was revived, minus the gambling, and the communists officially revoked its prohibition in 1985. Mahjong has survived and thrived because of its universally appealing strategy and luck. Today, the game is a favorite pastime in China and in Chinese-speaking communities around the world.

Fri, June 10, 2011: My Paper Plane 2 (3D)
Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Fri, June 10, 2011 is My Paper Plane 2 (3D)!
Application Description:
Three-Dimensional Paper Plane Adventure
Who knew flying a paper plane could be so fun?
Training tutorial to get you started
One of the selectable courses
My Paper Plane 2 (3D) is an action game for your smartphone or Honeycomb tablet in which you fly a paper plane, seemingly jet-powered, through selectable 3D landscapes and various obstacle courses, while grabbing stars for points and dodging trees or buildings to stay aloft.
This app features a tutorial course to accustom you to the accelerometer tilt controls and to learn the basics of the game. The use of accelerometer technology is flawless and smooth: tilting the device up and down and side to side gives you total control in steering the plane and adjusting altitude, which you'll need if you want to collect as many stars as possible.
Gameplay and Features
In My Paper Plane 2 you'll choose from four detailed landscape courses: Canyon Town, Laguna Run, Evening City, and Neon Speedway. You can also choose four levels of difficulty for each landscape. Each landscape presents new obstacles, and as you play through each level the number of obstacles increases for challenging gameplay.
Your mission: collect all stars within each level to win a gold medal. If not, you may fail the level and have to repeat it. You can also attain to Silver and Bronze medals if the gold eludes you.
Be careful. As you fly through the many rings to collect stars, you must avoid hitting the sides of the rings; if you don't, you'll crash and burn. These are just some of the dangers you face in this exciting game for Android.
3D virtual piloting game for Android Smooth 3D graphics Responsive accelerometer controls 4 landscapes with 4 difficulty levels for each Honeycomb compatible

Sun, June 12, 2011: Grow
Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Sun, June 12, 2011 is Grow!
Application Description:
Detailed aquatic graphics
You are a little fish with a big appetite and dreams of becoming a whopper. And so, you eat. And eat and eat and eat. And eventually, you Grow.
Big Fun
This is not your typical fishy game, where you mindlessly tap on the screen to feed your pet fish and wait for it to get bigger. In Grow, you are the fish, and you're trying to munch your way to the top of the aquatic food chain while avoiding becoming lunch yourself.
It's either chomp or be chomped
Impressive Visuals
The first thing you notice about Grow is the quality graphics. The creatures and environments are designed with imagination and feature impressive detail. The second thing that jumps out at you is the smooth controls, whether you choose the virtual joystick or the touch-and-drag option to move your fish around. Haptic feedback gives you that satisfying extra crunch. The look and feel alone make this app worth the price of admission.
It's a Fish-Eat-Fish World
Soon, however, you'll be caught up in Grow's addicting gameplay. Start out in Adventure mode to get a feel for the game. Your mission is quite simple--eat the small and medium-sized fish and avoid the big, ugly ones such as the puffer and angler fish. It's pretty easy to spot the bad guys because they sport red warning rings. The more you eat, the bigger you get.
A bar at the top of the screen gauges your progress--when it's full, you move on to the next level. You have a choice between Normal and Advanced difficulty settings, so you can challenge yourself as you get bigger and better.
Beware the fearsome puffer fish
Collect power-ups like the deadly fish hook
Survival of the Fittest
Once you're feeling confident, it's time to switch to Survival mode. You begin life as a tiny egg in a cramped jar. Your goal is the deep blue sea. Advance through 64 different levels and seven fun environments by collecting points and gold coins. A multiplier effect helps you score big.
Grab the floating power-ups to give yourself bonus skills and attributes, or buy them in the official store with your coins. Record your high score for each level and share your achievements on Facebook. If you're a whale of a player you might swim your way up the global scoreboard.
We dare you--just try to resist this game. The premise may be simple, but you can't look away. And if you do--Crunch! Chomp! Gulp! Your growth is terminated.

Thu, June 16, 2011: Watchdog Task Manager
Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Thu, June 16, 2011 is Watchdog Task Manager!
Application Description:
Watchdog app manager
Know what's going on
Don't Kill Them: Manage Them
Stop blindly killing your running apps. Be smart; manage them with Watchdog instead.
You don't need a task killer. You do need a way to make sure a background app doesn't lose control and eat up your smartphone's CPU resources.
How it Works
Watchdog monitors your apps and alerts you when one slows your system, allowing you to kill just that single app. Killing apps blindly can cause them to stop working as designed, and most app developers won't even take a bug report from you if you are using a task killer. And since Android 2.2, the kill command works only on background apps, which will likely restart immediately. Having lots of apps running doesn't adversely affect your phone unless they are all doing something. In fact, killing an app and immediately restarting it simply consumes your phone's resources.
Stop killing your apps randomly. Start monitoring them with Watchdog.
Good for all versions of Android.

Watchdog monitors your apps and alerts you when one slows your system, allowing you to kill just that single app. Killing apps blindly can cause them to stop working as designed, and most app developers won't even take a bug report from you if you are using a task killer. And since Android 2.2, the kill command works only on background apps, which will likely restart immediately. Having lots of apps running doesn't adversely affect your phone unless they are all doing something. In fact, killing an app and immediately restarting it simply consumes your phone's resources.
Stop killing your apps randomly. Start monitoring them with Watchdog.
Good for all versions of Android.

Sat, June 18, 2011: Nano Panda
Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Sat, June 18, 2011 is Nano Panda!
Application Description:
Pandas attract electromagnetically
Enchanting color graphics
Fearsome atoms have snuck into a top-secret lab, and there's only one hope to defeat them in this tiny, hidden world: NANO PANDAS!
Physics Can Be Phun
Nano Panda is an original puzzle app with creative physics challenges that explore electromagnetism and the simple mechanic that pandas attract each other. It also has really cute cartoon panda bears that will charm your socks off.
Animal Magnetism
Don't let the microscopic size and adorable looks of these pandas fool you--they are fierce fighting ninjas. Gameplay involves launching your pandas from special devices and using their natural magnetism to steer them through the air.
Death-Defying Stunts
You control the timing, direction, and curvature of the Nano Pandas as they fly through the air with the greatest of ease. Avoid deadly spikes and take advantage of special devices such as rotating walls and magnetic attractors to defeat all the atoms. The more efficient you are, the more stars you receive.
On your first mission, "Enter the Atom," the puzzles start out simple. But progress through all 16 screens and it begins to get tricky. This paid version of Nano Panda also contains three other missions you can unlock as you collect more stars: "Pandamonium" (get it?), "Nanotech," and the insanely difficult "Bamboozled."

Sun, June 19, 2011: Jenga
Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Sun, June 19, 2011 is Jenga!
Application Description:
Play one of three different modes
Incredible 3D graphics
The classic party game Jenga is now a classic party app from NaturalMotion Games. Whether you play by yourself or with friends, you'll have stacks of fun with this game no matter where you are.
Realistic Experience, No Splinters
Jenga for Android features some of the most stunning 3D graphics you'll find anywhere in a mobile device app. You can see the grain of the wood, smoothly rotate around the stack a full 360 degrees, and actually see the block coming toward you as you extract it. It's the best 3D visuals you can experience without putting on dorky glasses.
They All Fall Down
Simply slide your finger across the touchscreen to delicately maneuver the blocks. Start and stop, switch pieces, and finally make your move. Careful--one little miscue and it's "Timmmmmber!" With the Pass-'n'-Play mode, you can match up against as many as three of your friends and have the full party experience.
Retro or Futuristic Action
In addition to the multiplayer version, Jenga offers two single-player options, Classic and Arcade. Classic is the original brown-blocks version, while Arcade features brightly colored pieces, scoring bonuses, and special boosters that you can earn with your hard-earned gold coins. These include extra game time, wildcard blocks, and a Rewind bonus that allows you to reverse a collapse--try that with your live Jenga game!
Another fun aspect of the phone app version of the game is the ability to automatically track your stats, including your times, levels, and gold coin totals. There are scoreboards for both local and global achievement, allowing you to compare your performance with the best in the world--so you better get stacking.

Mon, June 20, 2011: SuperBox
Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Mon, June 20, 2011 is SuperBox!
Application Description:
10 Android enhancing tools neatly packaged in one app
View how much battery life you've got based on how you are using your phone
Manage your SD card and save internal phone storage

SuperBox improves your phone's performance, boasting 10 Android enhancing tools neatly packaged in one app. It's safe to call SuperBox the Swiss Army knife of Android assistant apps. Show your Android you care, and check its health. You drop it, forget to charge it, install junk, run junk, push the limits on space, and expect your little phone to keep chugging along. Where's the love?
Taking care of your phone with the proper tools can be easy, so no worries: it's in the box.
Battery Love and Life-Saving Settings
Checking Battery Details
SuperBox displays not only your battery power, but displays how much battery life you've got, depending on what you want to do. View remaining battery time for TalkTime, AudioTime, VideoTime, Web Surfing Time, and Idle Time. Watching YouTube videos will drain your battery much faster than just sitting idle. With SuperBox, you can see exactly how much faster. Additionally, review battery widget support.
Keeping a Healthy Battery Status
Check the temperature of your battery and the overall health. You don't really expect your phone to be happy if you leave it in your car in humid, South Florida mid-July, do you?
With the features, Extend Battery Life, and Boost Battery Life, take measures to quickly alter settings to get the most from your battery. Conveniently set screen timeout, volume control, screen brightness, ringer control, GPS settings, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Airplane Mode, 2G/3G toggle, Auto-sync data, and Wi-Fi hotspot. There's no need to fumble around in your device's settings. It's all right here.
Managing Your Apps and SD Card
Input keywords to find your apps, and install/uninstall apps easily. SuperBox will list all of the apps that can be moved to your SD card to help you save your internal phone storage. Easily pick and choose the apps you want to move, and do so quickly and easily.
Explore and manage your SD card. Open, copy, cut, rename, delete, transfer, and share your apps, music, videos, and images.
App Safeguarding
Keep your phone secure. The App Safeguard helps scan an app's permissions, finding apps that may cost you money, apps that access your personal information or network information, and apps that modify your SD card contents.
Cleaning Up and Clearing Out
It's All About the Cache
Free your internal memory by reviewing a list of your apps with cache files. Check the cache size and clear it with one click. Choose to clear all or clear the cache for only specified applications. While you're at it, clear your browser history. Just clean it out! Feels good, doesn't it.
1-Click Task Killer
The task killer allows you to quickly kill processes on your Android device by displaying all running processes. Enjoy the instant gratification that will speed up your phone and save your battery.
These are the essential functions that keep you phone happy. Keep them all in one place and mend your relationship with your phone. You both deserve it.

Tue, June 21, 2011: Peggle (WiFi Download Only)
Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Tue, June 21, 2011 is Peggle (WiFi Download Only)!
Application Description:
Exclusive Launch at the Amazon Appstore for Android
Please note: Peggle requires a Wi-Fi connection to download
Do you have what it takes to be a Peggle Master? Shoot and clear all the orange pegs in this peg-busting, critically acclaimed game, now fully optimized for Android devices. You'll reach Extreme Fever as ten outlandish Masters help you achieve Peggle greatness. Take your best shot, conquer 55 levels, and wield ten magic powers in Adventure mode--and the fun is just getting started.
Shoot and slide your way to Peggle Mastery
Catch the Fever
Whenever a ball hits a peg, it bounces away in the opposite direction at the same angle. Double-tap the screen to zoom in and fine-tune your shots for perfect aim, then fire! When you hit a peg, it disappears as soon as the ball falls out of play.
Access your gameplay options at any time from any level, and switch from right- to left-handed control. The cleverly designed colorblindness setting--which adds a triangle on the green pegs and a plus sign on the purple pegs--is a compelling and useful feature for all players, as a quick glance gives you a Zen-like grasp of a level's most important pegs (just ask Master Hu).
Helpful Tips from the PopCap Team:
Try to hit the purple pegs in as many of your shots as possible (they're 50 times more valuable than the blue pegs)Clear all the pegs on the board to guarantee 100,000 pointsIf the going gets tough, hit one peg at a time and land each shot in the Free Ball Bucket
These Grand Masters have got you pegged
Meet the Masters
If you've made it through Adventure mode, congratulations--you're a Peggle Master. But there's a lot more Peggle to play. To succeed in dueling and beat the 75 Grand Master Challenges, you'll need to summon all the strategies and skills you've learned along the way and choose the most helpful master.
Are there a lot of tricky pegs? Are there lots of obstacles to maneuver around? Are the pegs evenly distributed? Are the pegs clustered close together? To choose a master, take a look at the level and decide on its most challenging aspect. Remember, there's no timer, so there's no need to rush. Think through your options, make a plan, and fire when ready.
It's a compelling blend of luck and skill that msnbc.com calls one of the "Top 5 most addictive video games of all time!" Deceptively simple, unbelievably fun, Peggle's a game you can't put down. But with Amazon's exclusive launch for Android phones, you can play Peggle wherever you go.

Product Reviews
"An ode to joy is exactly what Peggle is. It's a constant series of rewards, slapping you on the back and tickling you affectionately under the chin for what you achieve by design and accident alike--the purest of celebrations of what videogames are all about. It's nonviolent, very funny, incredibly charming and gently asks more of your brain than reflex. Peggle is always there, and always just-one-more-go." 9/10 - Alec Meer, EuroGamer
"When it comes to puzzle games, there's Peggle, and then there's everything else. It's got a wry sense of humor, a solid presentation, hours upon hours of content, perfectly balanced and nuanced gameplay, a great learning curve, excellent controls... and anyone can play it. Don't miss this one, folks." - Steve Palley, SlideToPlay.com & GameSpot
"Honestly, I'm not sure who is responsible for more lost productivity in the U.S. each year, PopCap or rolling brownouts. Games often lose something when they're ported over to a hand-held platform, but Peggle only gets better." - Daniel S. Evans, PCMag.com
