Abduction! World Attack has always been one of the best games for Android given it's simple, yet polished Doodle Jump-like gameplay. Today, however, marks the game's first official sequel which is promised to be bigger and better than the original.
Pocket Gamer - Doodle Jump on iPhone managed to charm millions with its simple and addictive jumping gameplay back in 2009, arguably managing to become the first truly break-out hit on the fledgling App Store in the process.
With the game absent from Android, a similar title, Abduction!, appeared on the Android Market.
Rather than just a poor copy of a successful game, however, Abduction! ended up being a genuinely fun experience, securing a Pocket Gamer Bronze Award as a result.
Gaming on Android phones has been gaining steam as of late. Most of the more popular games on the iOS (iPhone/iPad/iTouch) have been ported over for Android users to enjoy. This is great for those of us that couldn't play a lot of the excellent games that were released on the iOS platform.
Gaming on mobiles is only good for killing time e.g. angry birds and such. Could not imagine playing a long full on game on a phone.
but but but mobile gaming is the future. I just love how apple actually tries to go after sony and nintendo trying to say there phone is the best gaming platform. yea ok hello 3ds and psp2....
I'm new to the mobile gaming aspect. Recently purchased a Galaxy S, and DL'd Angry Birds, and I am hooked. Though I cant see very many games being incredibly exciting? and as for the controls, that will be weird also.
Android is a pretty good mobile OS, the only problem being the fragmentation of devices and versions of Android they run. With such an array of different devices/capabilities and OS versions I imagine that its going to get pretty difficult to develop for and push it to the max without people running it on a lower end device and bitching about the performance.
All of you with an iPhone or any Android powered phone need to look into an RPG called Zenonia. Great game, that I myself spent 30+ hours playing. I bought it for $2.99 on sale, usually it's around $6.00 or $7.00. They recently released a second, which I have yet to play. Anyways, this game is worth the money, and not just that, but you will get a lot of playtime out of this game, as there are different endings. I've only beaten it once, and most likely will start a new character once school starts back up again. Anyways, just thought I'd mention the game.
Few games get released onto the Android Market that are actually worth playing. Abduction! 2 just happens to be one of those few bolstering enhanced gameplay, more levels, more customizations, and an overwhelming sense of fun. In so many words; this is Android's true equivalent to the iOS's Doodle Jump.
