Fri, August 12, 2011: WiFi File Explorer PRO

Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Fri, August 12, 2011 is WiFi File Explorer PRO!



Application Description:

Access a Wi-Fi connection and manage your files

If you've ever needed to access a file from your phone (a photo, for example, or a song you like) but don't have a cable to connect the phone to a computer, WiFi File Explorer PRO can make it happen. This Android app allows you to browse, download, and stream information--as well as manage your files--from your phone directly to a computer using a Wi-Fi connection and password-protected Web browser.

Untether Yourself

Setup for WiFi File Explorer PRO is simple and easy. When you open the app, it automatically detects nearby Wi-Fi networks and supplies you with a URL address to enter into the Web browser of your computer. You'll also be prompted to enter a password (which you will create when you first begin using the app).

Once your phone is connected to the Wi-Fi network, it's easy to go to the computer (which must also be connected to the network) and access the Web address. You'll find that your phone's files are there to be browsed, downloaded, or even streamed whenever you wish.

In this PRO version, you can also upload, sync, delete, copy, and zip or unzip all the files on your Android phone and computer, which makes it a great overall file manager.

A free version of this app, simply called WiFi File Explorer, is available as well. It offers similar but less robust features.

"I wholeheartedly recommend going the wireless route with WiFi File Explorer!" - Paul Jickling, PC World

Sat, August 13, 2011: Flick Kick Football

Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Sat, August 13, 2011 is Flick Kick Football!



Application Description:

Hear the roar of the crowd as you curve a beautiful strike past the wall of defenders....Gooooooal! Flick Kick Football delivers the thrill of taking free kicks on the goal: make your shot from different angles and distances, and watch out for shifting defenders and the goalie. Choose from Arcade, Time Attack, Practice, or Bullseye Mode, then use the intuitive flick controls to begin playing right away. Easy to pick up but hard to master, this classic time-killer is sure to appeal to casual gamers and die-hard soccer fans alike.

Curve your shots past the wall of defenders.

Gameplay

In Flick Kick Football, players assume the role of a striker taking shots on the goal. Pick one of four different game modes: Practice, Bullseye, Arcade, or Time Attack, and try out Flick Kick Football's intuitive control system to begin making kicks like a pro.

To make a kick, simply line your finger up with the ball and flick the touchscreen in the direction of the goal. 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 gaps in the opposition's defense.

Challenging Conditions

Learn to curve your shots past defenders and the goalie: to add to the difficulty, some players will shift their positions constantly to throw off your aim. Try to target the corners of the net--referred to as the "skill zones" in the game--to increase your chance of scoring and earn additional bonuses.

Online Scores and Achievements

Flick Kick Football 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!

Multiple Game Modes

Bullseye

Test your aim with a series of bullseye targets lined up inside the goal. You will need to concentrate to make every shot count as you try to rack up the points before time runs out. Aim for the center of each target to score additional points and get awarded bonus time.

Arcade Mode

Fight to stay calm under pressure in this sudden death-styled goal shootout: one missed goal and it's game over! Your only chance for survival is to try to aim for the "skill zone" edges of the goal: gain up to four extra lives this way.

Time Attack

It's a race against the clock in this quickfire flick kicking challenge. How many goals can you score in only two minutes? As each successful goal adds on bonus time, you'll have to keep cool and maintain steady aim to rack up a new highscore.

Multiplayer

Go head to head against friends through Flick Kick Football's pass-and-play multiplayer mode. Take turns passing the Android device between players after each shot: the first player to miss the goal three times loses.

Skillshot

A true test for the Flick Kick Football pros: how many times can you shoot the ball into the Skill Zones in a minute?

Key Features

Simple and intuitive flick controls make it easy to pick up and begin playChallenging gameplay with moving defenders and target distancesLoading screens with famous soccer quotes and trivia3D graphics and a zooming, slow-motion "goal camera" add to the excitementPlay against your friends using Flick Kick Football's pass-and-play multiplayer modeUpload scores through OpenFeint online scoring and achievements

Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Mon, August 15, 2011 is Everlands!



Application Description:

Everlands

Story-Based, Hexagon-Shaped, Strategy Puzzle

Dark and sinister forces have invaded the colorful world of Everlands. Everlands animals must unite to combine the best of their abilities, together standing against the great threat that casts a shadow over their beloved homeland.

Each animal has unique strengths, weaknesses, and features. Defeat the foes of Everlands through strategy and tactics by combining dozens of animal abilities, leading them through more than 20 carefully prepared levels. Reveal the truth behind the source of mysterious evil in a unique turn-based game.

Game Objective

The goal of the game is to win battles by capturing as many enemy hexagons as possible with the strengths and abilities of your animal hexagons. If you manage to gain more than half of the combatants in that round, you win the battle.

Animal Hex health and attack power levels

Strategic Gameplay

Click on each animal hexagon to see useful information about that animal's abilities. Based on that description, you place that hexagon on the board to prepare for battle against the enemy. Keep in mind the number and direction of the attack sides of each hex. The sides of your animal's hex that have no attack direction are undefended. Those are the sides the enemy will try to attack. Ideal placement allows your animal to point its attack in the enemy's direction, while leaving its undefended sides away from the battle's front.

Thu, August 18, 2011: App 2 SD Pro

Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Thu, August 18, 2011 is App 2 SD Pro!



Application Description:

Three tabs provide you complete app management

Clear the app cache with one tap

Add specific apps to an ignore list

View and move all capable apps to the SD card at once

Imagine if you had to manually open and delete each junk e-mail from your inbox. Just the thought may make you invariably grateful for those little checkboxes and the mass-delete option. Digital is great; streamlining digital is better. App 2 SD Pro does what your phone can already do, but it does it better by streamlining a manual process.

If you're app happy, you've got a lot of apps that take up internal space and slow down your phone. Moving apps from your internal storage to your SD card is the remedy. Taking the time to do it is the problem, unless you've got App 2 SD Pro.

The Way You're Doing It

...If You're Phone Savvy

Your phone is moving at a snail's pace, so you venture into your settings, check your available internal storage and SD storage space, and move capable apps to your SD card to free up a little space on your phone. The problem with this method is that all apps aren't capable of SD card storage, so you have to manually check each app.

...And If You're Not

The Better Way

Stop Hunting for SD Card Capable Apps

Apps with SD card capability are alphabetically listed under the Movable tab in the App 2 SD Pro interface. The Android OS does not do this for you. View the app icon, name, and file size. Tap the app to view data, code, and to open or uninstall the app. Clear the cache, or choose the Clear Cache option from the menu to clear them all.

Choose to move an app to the SD card individually, or choose the Move All option from the menu. Badda bing, badda boom, declare internal space restored!

You can also enable App to SD Pro to send a notification when you install an app that can be stored on your SD card.

A Snazzy Interface, to Boot

Three tabs provide you complete app management: Movable, On SD card, and Phone Only. Movable and SD Card apps can be moved between your SD card and internal storage easily. Phone Only apps are non-movable. Each tab provides you the total space used and available space.

Not only does App 2 SD Pro offer a handy functionality to make your life a little easier, but it looks pretty cool too. The wood and steel graphics add an aesthetic appeal so often lacking in utility apps. There's nothing wrong with cleaning up and looking good while doing it.

Mon, August 22, 2011: ZDefense

Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Mon, August 22, 2011 is ZDefense!



Application Description:

Pure Tower Defense

ZDefense distills the best elements of tower defense games. This game features sharply drawn, geometric shapes on a hexagon grid, recalling the timeless old-school designs of such arcade classics as Tempest and Breakout. This fast-paced game will challenge even the most experienced tower defense fans.

Tower Defense 101

For those unfamiliar with the addictive tower defense genre, the game mechanics are fairly simple. You're provided with cash to build towers of varying designs, strengths, and costs. Eventually your enemies (called "creeps" in this game) will come pouring out and make a beeline toward the exit you're defending.

Every time you blast a creep, you gain a little money to build more towers. You can also spend your money upgrading the towers you have. Every time a creep reaches the exit, you take damage. Tower defense games are essentially a juggling act of resource allocation and fast reflexes.

Game hints in the tutorial

Here come the creeps!

Stay Calm. Don't Panic. Keep Firing!

As creeps keep coming and coming, ZDefense evolves into a frantic maelstrom of destruction. You'll face 50 waves of enemies in less than five minutes. Defend an exit in the middle of the map from creeps coming in from all directions. You simply can't use the same strategy for every level; you must change up your tactics for each map.

ZDefense's maps generally have 10 to 30 waves of enemies. The full version features five tutorial, ten normal, and eight hard maps. There are five tower types with seven levels each. To make your life more complicated, a special tile called the Space Gate allows creeps to teleport from one gate to another.

Command the Creeps

ZDefense comes with a map editor so you can create your own nightmare scenarios to terrify your fellow tower defense fans. The editor comes with full instructions and customizable maps, creeps, towers, and waves. Customize the game mechanics, such as wave wait times, base life, money, and more. You can also take screen captures of your game to record your victories and show off to your friends.

Wed, August 24, 2011: Gem Spinner

Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Wed, August 24, 2011 is Gem Spinner!



Application Description:

Spin Those Gems, Round and Round

In Gem Spinner, you swap, spin, and slide the gems until you match three in a row. Finagle these beautiful gems to earn points against the clock with each three-way match. Fun to play and aesthetically pleasant, Gem Spinner is a challenging game with an animated, colorful, and well-crafted interface. Please note that Gem Spinner is not optimized for tablets.

Drop and Drag Matching

Gem Spinner isn't your ordinary match-three game. In this unique variation, the gems are arranged inside shapes of different sizes. As you clear away gems, the shapes drop into the cleared area, much like Tetris blocks.

Are you ready for The Boxer?

Swap adjacent gems to match three in a row. Double tap a gem to spin its shape 180 degrees. Match all the gems in a piece to clear the piece from the board. Drag shapes to empty board spaces to create more match opportunities. Match enough gems to complete the level goal and then continue to swap, spin, and drag to try to clear the entire board.

Practice Makes Perfect

Gem Spinner has two game modes. In Practice Mode, hone your gem spinning skills with no time limits. You can practice on six different boards under no pressure. When you're ready to start spinning for real, try to beat Level One ("The Boxer") with a time limit. As you ascend through the levels, you get less time to finish the boards, and the goals get tougher.

Master the Gems

Gem Spinner features a narrated and animated tutorial, so you'll quickly understand how the game works. Conquer 35 levels that get increasingly difficult. You can also play the boards at various levels of difficulty. Track your score, and compare your skills with others all over the world. Just don't make yourself too dizzy spinning those gems!

Fri, August 26, 2011: Frogger

Today's free Amazon android app of the day for Fri, August 26, 2011 is Frogger!



Application Description:

Don't become roadkill!

For those of you of a certain age--remember video arcades? the Atari 2600?--this is an absolutely must-have app. Newbies will love it too, especially kids. It's not just any classic video game of yesteryear--it's FROGGER.

Carry the girl frogs to safety

Blast from the Past

If you played video games in the early 1980s, you remember Frogger. Along with Pac-Man and Donkey Kong, this was one of the biggest early successes in the industry. Anybody could play Frogger--all you had to do was guide the green amphibian across the street and over the logs and turtles to his slot on the other side of the river. Simple, but totally addicting.

The Original and Best

Don't be fooled by imitations--this is the real thing, published by the original manufacturer, Konami. You get the same look and feel, and moving your frog is smooth as silk with the slide controls. If you have trouble with sliding, you have the option of moving by tapping the screen. No more stiff joysticks to worry about!

Why? To Get to the Other Side

A frog's world is full of danger. Speeding cars and trucks clog the four-lane freeway you must cross just to get to the riverbank--be careful you don't end up with tire tracks on your back. You have to be equally quick and adept on the river, because the logs move fast and if you go off the edge of the screen, it's curtains. Try to carry the cute female frogs to safety and eat the flies for bonus points, but watch out for crocodiles or you'll become lunch yourself!

Phantom Phroggie

An interesting twist in this version is Phantom Mode, which guides you during the game by showing the route you took in your best game. In regular mode, you can post your high scores online and see who the top guns are with OpenFeint. Happy hopping!
