      You can download/install them onto your other devices. If the app. is compatible with all your devices, you can install it on all the devices.

      Really? The excellent Age of Zombies and Apparatus aren't worth it?

    I couldn't stop playing gamedev last night. Started at midnight, right before bed as I had to be up for work at 5.30….. Didn't stop playing until 4am. Too addictive! Amazing game.

        I got addicted too, i think it's because when you finish a game, you start another one, meanwhile, you wait for the results in sales, there's no logical point to save and put it down even though you can save anytime.

        It's a good simple game, but would be a lot better with some simple optimisation, like using the whole screen rather than having that little box which you scroll at the bottom.

      Yeah it is, the next closest one was a Telstra deal (of all things!!), I think it was the free calls to Japan after the Earthquakes etc.
      This one has now beaten it and will take some beating I think. Imagine if it was FREE apps for 10 days, ie negating the requirement to associate a credit card with a google account. Until this deal I had held off doing it and I think there are probably others who have resisted purchasing apps due to this requirement. Kinda annoying that there is still no paypal option.

          I am positively addicted to it. After a bit of trial and error I am finding what works best. Do you opt for specialist characters or general "jack of all trades" types? The only thing I don't like abut GameDev is that your assigned role staff member complains and mopes when I make him/her be involved in two or more consecutive projects in the same job role/capacity. It's like "I pay you to make my graphics, so stop whining and get on with it already!"

          @wolfenator

          Specialists. Keep 2 coders at all times, plus at least 1 (better 2) for each criteria and rotate them between games so they don't suffer from decreased motivation. To max out, use the career change manuals and level every character's careers to 5 + blow $$$ 'training them'. Very expensive and time-consuming but the level ups carry through careers, you'll wind up with characters with 700+ points in a particular stat.

        And just for a bit of info , did you know that many pirated apps either don't work outright or fail to load because they aren't supported/updated by the devs?

      +4

      I'm sure you can get anything for 'free' too, if you had the morals of a sewer rat.

    • netsurfer on 11/12/2011 - 21:15
      +7

      The right thing to do is buy the apps. If you want Android to get more quality apps, you should support the developers. 10 cents is just a formality. It is pretty much free.

      In case you're wondering why Google don't just make them free for a day. It is the way the market works. Once an app becomes free, it cannot later become a paid app. So, to make things easier, lower each one to 10 cents for a day (they do have to cover credit card surcharge cost). Google and the developers are pretty much giving you their apps for free. However, personally, I reckon Google should change the rule.

      Last but not least, the effort the original poster and the mod(s) put in to keep this deal up to date, making it even more deserving to be the new #1 OZBargain deal of all time.

      • oswade on 11/12/2011 - 23:20

        android market is faster and more reliable than waiting on crackers, so when an app is good you should buy it!! (especially when it's 10c for crying out loud).

        With some apps (including the ridiculously expensive ones), my morality is of course a little more flexible… but I support devs that deserve it!

  • Windows7forever on 11/12/2011 - 21:35

    My only purchase today was Sims 3. I must say it is quite an ambitious concept for a mobile game, hope it lives up to my expectations. C'mon guys, support poor old EA and buy it!

      Support EA? After reading about them making you re-buy apps if you want to reinstall them? Then I read about some guy getting his PC game license banned after being critical of them on their message boards. I think EA should be boycotted, not supported.

    This promotion from Google is genius. The difference between free and 10 cents is very important. Android users are notoriously bad at buying apps - this forces people to set up their credit cards and hopefully encourages them to continue to buy apps after the promotion is over. This is critical to the future health of the Android ecosystem.

    • SydStrand on 12/12/2011 - 00:43
      +6

      It's not that Android users are cheap, it's just that Android is filled with free versions or alternatives. I used iOS/Android for primary/secondary phones respectively for 2 years and while I've sunk maybe a couple hundred dollars on iOS, I've never had to buy a single Android app till last week.

      If you want GPS Navigation on iOS you have to purchase either TomTom or Metroview. On Android, Google Maps Navigation is superior to either and free. The same goes for ad-supported stuff like Angry Birds that are free on Android while being a buck or two on iOS.

      It's not that Android users are hesitant to punch in CC numbers, they're just already spoilt with choice, hence paid apps have to justify their cost, moreso than on iPhone.

    • Windows7forever on 12/12/2011 - 08:30

      Agreed, they are repeating a few of the the same apps multiple times. I don't know if this is a "back by popular demand" motive or simply because they have run out of developers who are willing to release their apps for a measly 10c and therefore have to recycle a few of the old deals and hope no one notices.

      • zeropoint on 12/12/2011 - 09:54

        Could it be Google pays the difference?

  • Windows7forever on 12/12/2011 - 08:47

    Well today I nabbed Sim City. What a deep strategy game and excellent port of Simcity 3000. Hope 3.5" is enough screen size to play it comfortably as I think it is optimised for tablets. So much for 'boycotting' EA, but I can't resist a quality title at this price and it wouldn't have much on affect their bottom line.

    Backstab & CapAmerica both have excellent graphics but they are incompatible :( I'm thinking very high end phone & GPU to run them because my phone is no sleuth(Acer LM).

      Yup I'm annoyed by it too. Incredible S can run Sim City Deluxe and Need for Shift but not SGS2..

  • Elgreco on 12/12/2011 - 10:18

    Is there a reason my android market only comes up with 6 of the 10 apps for today? Backstab for example is not included.. Galaxy Note btw

    • shmahoo on 12/12/2011 - 10:31

      my understadning is that Android market is determinging that 3 of the 9 offerings are note compatible with your listed phone.

      When I access Android Market on my Galaxy S2, I also only get 6 offerings. When I access from my PC, I get all 9, but asterisks next to three. I have a Galaxy S2, Galaxy S1, and a Optus (ZTE) My Tab, and a couple of the games (simcity and captain America for instance) are listed as being compatible with the ZTE but not the Galazy S2 - go figure!!

      • King Tightarse on 12/12/2011 - 10:39

        There are Samsung driver issues with a few games.

        • Elgreco on 12/12/2011 - 11:26

          So basically I cannot even purchase the app now and just wait for a possible update.. I tried bying it off my desktop computer but when I sign in to android market it knows my phone model and doesn't allow me to buy it saying its incompatible.

        • nanoronline on 12/12/2011 - 15:48

          Age of Zombies works fine on my SGS2. I've also finished the game too..

  • kirynflare on 12/12/2011 - 11:06

    It's strange how all these specials never appear properly as 10c on my HTC Desire HD. Maybe because the market is the older version and it refuses to update.

    It's easy to purchase apps on the computer though, so I guess I'm fine with that.

    Hopefully they release one more app to make 10 later today! Sort of disappointing they are repeating a few apps. Do you think they have 9 only today, because they had 11 the day they repeated paper camera? Maybe developers are pulling out of this sale at the last minute!

    • dvsbastard on 12/12/2011 - 11:43

      There are already 10 today - 2 repeats, and 1 restricted to North America (and that doesn't include any device specific restrictions so your phone market might show even less).
