Clash of Clans might finally be coming to Android
By Jim Squires
Clash of Clans is huge. It's a monster of a game; the kind of success that other mobile developers could only dream of. It's been the #2 top grossing app for as long as anyone can remember, and before that? It was #1. Strange then, that the game is still an iOS exclusive.But the tides might finally be turning for Android gamers. "You can't be global without being in Asia, and you can't be big in Asia without being on Android," Supercell CEO Ilkka Paananen told the Financial Times last month. "I guess that's a long way of saying that we are very actively thinking about it."It's a thought that's long overdue. While Supercell has been hesitant to enter the Google Play storefront, their competitors haven't. Games like Castle Clash, Clash of Lords and Jungle Heat are among the top 25 grossing on Android, and all borrow pretty liberally from Clash of Clans playbook. If you're Supercell, that has to sting a little.Whether due to the frustrating success of copycats or the promise of global domination, it looks like the company has finally set its sights on Android - likely both for Clash of Clans and its popular farming sim, Hay Day. There hasn't been a formal announcement of any kind yet, but with talk like this brewing publicly, it seems to be less a matter of "if" and more a matter of "when."JoyBits talks the evolution of Doodle God and the road to Doodle God 2
By Joe Jasko
What once started out as a simple idea for a text-based web game about combining elements to make new ones has since spawned a handful of sequels on dozens of platforms, and is currently reaping the accolades of having over 100,000,000 user-downloads across all titles combined. That's right: I'm talking about JoyBits' simple and addictive Doodle God elemental crafting franchise. From its old text-based days, to finding new life on the iPhone in 2010, and gaining colorful graphics, unique and stylized humor, and so much more along the way, the Doodle God series is one of the most played, and most recognizable names in casual gaming today.I recently had a chance to learn more about the evolution of Doodle God from JoyBits co-founders Anton Rybakov and Nick Kotlyarov, and to ask them a few questions about how their life lessons in mobile game development to date have since gone on to influence and shape the upcoming release of the highly anticipated Doodle God 2. Through emailing with Kotlyarov, I learned that the basic Doodle God formula was first expanded in two key areas: by creating thematic episodes such as Technology and Modern World, and populating each one with a series of thematic quests, like "Save the Princess from the Dragon." With this new content to the original Doodle God now in tow, JoyBits next set their sights on expanding the universe even further with spin-off games like Doodle Farm and Doodle Devil. Once those follow-up games got some good traction with players in the months after, it was time to revisit some of the now-classic Doodle God titles and reignite them with massive title updates. In particular, JoyBits is currently celebrating the launch of both "Doodle God 2.0" and "Doodle Devil 2.0," each of which contains an awesome amount of new content and features.Terraria is now on Android, complete with robot mascot exclusive
By Jim Squires
There was a time when Terraria looked like it was getting ready to step into the sunset. But that was 19 months ago, and to paraphrase Mark Twain, reports of Terraria's death have been greatly exaggerated.The popular 2D crafter game made its mobile debut on iOS just two weeks ago, and quickly burned up to the top of the charts (remaining in the Top 10 ever since). Now Terraria is available to folks who are fond of Google's mobile operating system - and it seems as though the folks behind Terraria might be fond of them too.Why, you ask? Because they've seen fit to include a Google Play exclusive - Android's cute little robot mascot is available in-game. Terraria on Android also incorporates Google Play Game Services leaderboards and achievements, as well as Facebook integration so that you can easily share screenshots of the world you create.Initially a free download, you can unlock everything the game has to offer for $4.99. Get it on Google Play now.Free Games and Sales: Fez, Rush Bros and more!
By Joe Jasko
When I was a little kid with two pockets stuffed to the brim with candy, there was nothing I loved more than when some of my favorite candy products like Starbursts or Jelly Belly Jellybeans issued out a promotional mystery flavor. True, you'd be buying something that could very well turn out to be gross or not something that you would have paid money for knowing what it was beforehand, but what's life without a little mystery every once in a while?I tell you this seemingly random tale about mysteries and jellybeans because we actually have such a dash of tantalizing mystery in this week's free games and sales list as well! In fact, one particular bundle is offering a bonus "mystery game" for everyone who picks up the collection, and who knows what it could possibly be! But for those of you who like knowing exactly what you're in for before making an extremely discounted purchase, then fear not, because we also have plenty of other great gaming deals outlined for you below in full detail (and even including a very special one from us here at Gamezebo)!Crafting a Substantial Sequel – Nightmares from the Deep: The Siren’s Call [interview]

By Jim Squires
Remember mobile games in the 90's? Or more aptly, mobile "game"? Snake wasn't just the best choice for gamers at the dawn of the cell phone age - for many of us, it was the only choice. And like the devices it was most popular on, Snake was fairly limited in terms of what it could do.But that was then, and this is now. And Snake? It's grown up quite a bit.We've seen plenty of takes on the classic formula (Nimble Quest, Snakes and Apples) but nobody has seen fit to turn Snake into a fully-fledged multiplayer battle experience until now. On-5, the folks behind past multiplayer gems like the pre-Draw Something classic Charadium and the recent exercise in co-operation Indie Pixel, are looking to remedy that with SQUAKE.While there will be plenty of modes coming when the game launches in beta this December (that's the target, at least), you can check out the first by downloading the alpha right now. Just be sure to find someone to play it with, and if you like it, give it a thumbs up on Steam Greenlight.
