New Game App for the Kindle (Plus a Round-up of all the Games)!

November 10, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments

So, those among you who bought the new Kindle, did you know that you can play a bunch of games with it? It’s not my thing, but in case it is, allow me to introduce you to some games (some of which are free)! And for those who already have the games, let me introduce you to the new game on the block!

(Update Dec 14): Please check my latest post on new game apps for the Kindle HERE!

Panda Poet (A Word Game for Kindle)‘ by Spry Fox is available on the Amazon Kindle site for $2.99! Just click here to download!

Game Description

Do you like word games? And pandas?

With Panda Poet you use the letters on the game board to form words. Words formed from letters in open spaces create pandas. Words formed from letters near pandas make existing pandas grow.

The goal is grow the biggest panda possible. You get the highest scores from either creating the biggest possible panda or from forming the longest possible words.

To add to the challenge, each letter is only available for a fixed number of turns. Each time you enter a word, all the letters on the screen come one step closer to expiring. When a letter expires, it is replaced by a skull, which prevents you from growing your pandas in that direction. This makes playing Panda Poet a delicate balancing act: you must consider where a letter is located on the grid and how soon it will expire, not simply spell the longest word you can.

Try it today and see!

Triple Town (A Puzzle Strategy Game for Kindle)‘ by Spry Fox is available on the Amazon Kindle site for $2.99! Just click here to download!

Game Description

Triple Town is an original puzzle strategy game in which you try to grow the greatest possible city. The larger the city you build, the more points you score. You build your city by matching three or more game-pieces: combine three grasses to make a flower, three flowers to make a bush, three bushes to make a tree… until you’ve filled the board with houses, cathedrals and castles. Along the way, you’ll have to outwit evil barbarians and wizards who will try to block your progress.

This is a game that can be played for minutes or hours at a time. You’ll have to think several turns ahead if you want to avoid inevitable gridlock as unfinished buildings, barbarians and wizards start to pile up. And sometimes, if you’re lucky, you’ll be helped along by a magical crystal (which combines with anything) or a powerful bomb (which wipes nuisances off the board). But luck won’t save you forever!

How large can you grow your dream city before the board fills and the game ends?

Game Description

Can you keep up with Shuffled Row? See how many words you can make from 60 lettered tiles.

The tiles are added to your row one at a time so you’ll constantly be working with a new set of letters. After you submit a word, the letters you used will be removed and new ones will be added. Increase your score by using less common letters. Create longer words and increase your score even more.

Test your vocabulary and how well you can think on your feet with Shuffled Row - try it today!
