[Game] Mombari - The Journey is the Reward 3D Adventure/Puzzle Game (Beta-Review) - Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games

Hi guys,
A developer recently wrote me about a beta-test of his new game called Mombari. So I was trying it out for about one week and I must honestly say that I think this game is really great. It was a lot of fun and I have made a review so other people can have an early preview of the game.
Hope you like it.
The game was developed by Software7.de
You can find more information about this game on the official homepage mombari.com
I also summarized the story on German here: WParea.de
I hope this is not considered as spam here, because usually only developers and hackers write on xda-developers. I just wanted to show this game to people who will hopefully like it.

[Q] Devs,noobs and normal users, Why should someone choose an android phone? pls read

Hey guys and some girls,
I'm doing research for a school project regarding usability. the idea was to figure out what makes a certain product so great. being a proud owner of a adroid device I thought, why would someone choose android. so what im doing now is a survey to see why people choose Android.
I'm calling out to every person that reads this (from noob to dev) this gives me a great idea why people should choose android. every answer is valuable to me and wil help me very much. this is my final project for my graduation. so please help me out here.
Thank you for your time.
Hi, coming from a student game programmer background, I've also studied about usability during school. From my experience and knowledge, what makes a product so great is that it is easy to pick up (learn) and easy to use. For example, Apple products. With just one or two clicks you get the response that you want.
Here's another example: Angry birds. It's "Great" because it's easy to learn how to play it and the game is also easy to play (can be played without remembering stuffs like numbers in a bank game).

HELP WANTED!!!! Devs, coders, grapic artist and all!

Hello, I'm posting this tread because I have searched every inch of the market/internet for a good First person-Role playing game in real time. I know about "Deadly dungeons", don't get me wrong it's a great game but its not in real time and not free roaming.
So, see that it might take awhile for someone to make said game, I've decided to make one myself. Only one problem. I don't know any code, and I suck at graphics. I'll be doing plots, quest, main quest, and music. So I'm looking for a team who would like to help me put this together. It will be a paid for app will a free trial so in the end, if it is any good there will be money. No guarantees thought. But seeing as it will be the first of it's kind, there is a good chance.
Imagine a game like "The Elder Scrolls" or like the iOS game "Necromancer's Rising". That is what I'm looking for. So if your interested in seeing this come to life, PM me and I'll give you my email ASAP.
Please, I know many people are waiting for such a game, and there is money in it IF it is completed and turns out well, but that all depends on how hard your willing to work. Think of how many "These guys just made my day for making this game" there will be. I personally am a HUGE Elder Scrolls fan, I mean I got every game. From Arena to Skyrim. That is what starting my love for, as I call them FPRTRPG games.
Hope to be hearing from you guys!

P.S If you are not interested, or not a developer or what now, please spreed the word, if you know someone who might want to help, tell them about this.

[Q] Just how powerful is Google Now becoming?

In the last few weeks, I've really noticed an increase in the amount that Google Now can do. It's gone from being a fairly ineffective tool, to actually offering every day useful information, let me give you an example.
Today, I searched for Stone Football Evolution. Football Evolution is the organization and I play in Stone, Staffordshire on a Monday night. Primarily I was looking for the fixtures tonight. Without asking, it has told me the traffic to get the venue that we play at. How the hell it picked up that piece of information or even knew that it was relevant is quite brilliant.
Another thing, it's now finding relevant topics about my favourite football team, and if I search for a specific player, like I did yesterday, say "Robert Huth injury" (I'm a Stoke fan) it's offering articles that have been written maybe an hour or two ago that I've not had chance to search for.
Surely Google aren't finished with this, so what's next?

[Q] Is my game so crappy in WP8 standards?

Hello everybody,
Two days ago I have published a FREE game on windows phone store. Here is the link:
www(dothere)windowsphone.com/en-US/store/app/brave-furries/99d039e7-60f3-43ea-b666-7442e78ab24d
Anyway the game is a port from Android and iOS. I thought I will try WP8 this time as well (I have no experiance with this platform). After two days in the store I have NO reviews and the game is not even in new + rising section. MSFT says that download data will be available after 10 days (for new apps) but I already can tell that they will be horrible.
On iOS I had few hundred downloads on the first day and the app is PAID on iOS so I assumed it would be much better on WP8 where it is FREE. Maybe someone could check the app and let me know if I made any mistakes when publishing or the game is just crappy ?
Thanks for any feedback!
An interesting game, however, I think the main problem for not having reviews is that it is for polish market, although can be downloaded. Try advertising it a bit more

Thanks for your feedback. I am in Poland but do you say that it is not downloadable in other countries or is it "rather for polish customers"?
Also I have noticed that I included polish version link above. Sorry for this (changed to english).
It is downloadable, but I have found it just when searching specifically for it, when I saw everything on the link u left here. So if I do not know about the game or some app I cannot download it, because it won't be shown to me. That is the reason for which u have to advertise it more. Also, I am getting rather annoyed by the multiple "animations" between the levels... Would be also great to make it universal - for tablets and desktops... I don't like playing on my phone, but am enjoying it on my tablet.
Its quite an interesting game buddy
game looks nice
Thank you for the nice words and feedback. I will definately think of making the app universal if by any chance it will generate enough money for me to buy a tablet for testing
Did anyone try to buy the WIndows Phone advertising that can be purcheased on Dev Center page? What is the average user acquisition cost with this option ?
Btw. The game got featured in Germany today. If anyone would be intersted how many downloads it generated than please ask me in 4 days (SLA time).

Ireland Needs A GAA App.....

Having lived in the Republic Of Ireland for nearly a year now I realise just how important the Gaelic Games of Hurling and Football are to these wonderful people. Unfortunately they are poorly informed via the official GAA app. There is one called GAH which simply shows fixtures/results but the country is crying out for a more informative app. I have searched everywhere and been unable to discover one...if someone out there knows of such a beast then please let me know. All that is basically really required is the ability to select favourite teams to follow, view previous results and forthcoming fixtures but most importantly also list the TV channels these games are to be broadcast on.
Anybody out there looking for an app project should seriously consider this as a golden opportunity because the response to anyone able to provide a detailed Gaelic Games app would be staggering.....
Thanks for reading
