[Xoom Themes and Apps] SquareBare:
Hello All,

I am going to try to put together a list of games that currently function on the XOOM, which ones do not and which ones are made specifically for tablets. I will add in statuses for all my games and hopefully others will fill in the cracks and we can get an informative list out.

NOTE:

Developers! If you happen to stumble across this list and your game is tested compatible with the XOOM, please let me know, I will add it asap!

Furthermore, if anyone notices that a "broken" game is fixed, please post! I will show it as being corrected.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Post 1 - News, Updates and Thanks.

Post 2 - Tested and Functional Games divided by category (Nonfunctional now as well).

Post 3 - Special Case Games, Emulators and Remote Gaming.

I have been informed that it is possible to sideload Order and Chaos to the XOOM (presumably by extracting the APK from a phone) but the game occasionally crashes and characters do not seem to be saved server side. This is probably gameloft's licensing engine at work.

Hello guys. I sold my XOOM today on Ebay so I won't be able to directly test apps anymore. I replaced it with a VZW Galaxy Tab, I know that sounds like madness but it is much easier to haul around and make calls on (I am much more opposed to paying Verizon 77 a month than I am to looking like an insane person carrying around a tablet everywhere).

Anyway, I will keep scanning this thread and adding in submissions every week or so. Game on.

- 6/20/11 -

Order and Chaos has been released directly to the market but not showing up for the XOOM. *COUGH* works on my galaxy tab.

Turbo Granny: works perfectly.

Shaky tower: uses landscape, works very well though I would argue that the tilting is a little slippery.

Grand Prix Story: Works fine when in portrait mode. In landscape the status bar obscures the game UI, so just use portrait.

Burn the Rope: Requires you to pick up your tablet and spin it all around, but works just fine.

Cut the Rope: Will be available soon via the Amazon Marketplace, probably this friday.

- 6/14/11 -

Heroes 3: After quite a bit of experimentation I have not been able to get Heroes 3 to run. The app is called VCMI and the developer recommends installing logcat to check for missing files.

Imaginary Range: An interactive comic book by Square Enix seems fully functional and free! It is definitely experimental but very interesting, no issues so far on XOOM.

Zenonia 3: Will be available within the month according to gamevil.

Gun Brothers: Is releasing a THD version fairly soon.

- 6/14/11 -

ZOMG: Heroes 3 on Android! Nerdgasm! Currently trying to get it to work. Will post updates when I get things running.

- 6/10/11 -

T-RACER HD - A very flashy tegra 2 racer.

Grand Prix Story has a lot of graphical glitches on Honeycomb. (Bummer the other 2 karisoft games work pretty well).

Homerun Battle 3D works on 3.1

X-Men Arcade

Contra 4 Redux

Ground Effect Pro HD: Ported from Xperia Play

Gameloft:

Hero of Sparta still crashes for me

Spiderman is fixed

Nova: Still broken

Thanks to everyone for submissions!

- 6/3/11 -

PORTED: Legion has notified us that Age of Zombies has been adapted to all devices including the XOOM! And it happens to work wonderfully.

FIXED: Squibble now is perfectly functional!

SORT OF FIXED: No gravity no longer crashes but menus are still misaligned.

- 6/2/11 -

GAMELOFT: Has begun to fix their games for Android 3.1.

Asphault 6 is fixed! More updates as I finish installing the other 3 games.

Hero of Sparta: Crashed!

Nova: Crashed!

Spider Man: Crashed!

Thanks a lot to vista64 and riffer for mentioning this! I will keep checking for new versions.

- 5/31/11 -

Plants VS Zombies! Gameplay is perfectly functional. There is a bit of lag when displaying your "new item" after every level. Background graphics are a tiny bit pixelated on the XOOM. Otherwise it is perfectly smooth and plays awesome!

Battleheart is now 100% functional on the XOOM! Mika Mobile has reduced the loading times to basically nothing! If you enjoy RPG's with excellent strategy and fast action get this game!

- 5/30/11 -

NEWS: All of Yongzh's emulators have been pulled from the market due to open source licensing conflicts.

Apparently he did not provide an open version of his emulator ports as was required by the licensing of the software he used.

The good news is that all of his emulators are available for free for a limited time on the SLIDEME app store! Including N64OID!

http://slideme.org/

Visit the site with your XOOM and download the marketplace app ASAP! It doesn't require registration for free apps.

ONE DAY TIL' PLANTS VS ZOMBIES! CONFIRMED TO BE WORKING ON XOOM BY OTHER XDA MEMBERS!

Added a link to the pocket ISO tool to the emulators section. This is a great tool for shrinking down the size of PSX roms. Useful until we get our SD card officially supported. http://www.fpsece.net/download.html

iRafa.ru has dropped in to let us know that their Millionaire game is tablet optimized.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.irafa.millionairefree

Robotek is a beautiful strategy / luck freemium game. It is very unique, runs beautifully and worth a try overall.

4 Days til' Plants vs Zombies! (If the XOOM is excluded there will be tears).

- 5/20/11 -

Riptide GP is out! It is fully compatible and all it was cracked up to be! Get it now!

Bang Bang Racing now allows you to chose up to 4 control schemes! (recommend split screen)

Nano Panda - An adorable puzzle game involving pandas and gravity. Quite challenging. Plays perfectly.

- 5/18/11 -

Android police has a really great thread to show off the past 2 weeks worth of new games. Feel free to poke through them and install whatever suits you. If something works well, post it!

- 5/18/11 -

Updated: Vidriera has posted an excellent tutorial on getting BG2 to work, including that on the main page.

Added: Vidriera again has informed me of a very high-quality remote desktop app that allows smooth gameplay over wifi from your PC.

- 5/16/11 -

BIG NEWS: Gameloft has changed their DRM policy to allow games you purchased on an old device to be downloaded onto new devices!

NEWS: Plants vs Zombies will be available on the Amazon App store May 30th!

Asphault 6 has been released for the XOOM! If you already own it for another phone, try logging in to download it! Don't pay twice!

- 5/14/11 -

The 3.1 Update has effectively ruined Battleheart. /rage

Contract Killer (a hitman style game) is working splendidly!

Angry Viking - An action game built out of anger and rage!

- 5/13/11 -

One more update: BATTLEHEART! Has finally arrived on Android and it is fantastic!

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.KelliNoda.Battleheart

- 5/13/11 -

NEWS: Gameloft has released a XOOM version of Nova!

NEWS: Gameloft has added Asphault6 to the Android Market but the XOOM is unable to download.

Toki Tori - A click to move platformer and puzzle game, looks incredible!

Moron Test - Shrunken and totally misalligned, considering how frustrating the game is already I would pass.

Battle Fury - Shrunken and controls are misalligned.

Bang Bang Racing THD - Looks awesome, controls are VERY badly designed. You will have to literally juggle your tablet to keep your car on the track.

- 5/10/11 -

Gem Miner: Dig Deeper - A casual mining economic game, plays perfectly.

Grow - A casual "biggest fish in the pond" simulator. Has background graphical glitches.

- 5/9/11 -

Chalk Ball - A brilliant casual game where you direct a ball by drawing.

Skydiver HD: Mach II - A gory and simple game.

Tales of Pocoro - A retro RPG themed puzzle game.

Evac HD - A neon themed pacmanesque game.

Galcon - Works wonderfully. A very simple but fun strategy game.

Hex Defense - Great graphics and music, tower defense game.

Return Zero - A tron style tunnel racing game.

Also!

I am adding a classic PC games section with tips and how-to's!

Big thanks to vidriera for bringing this to my attention!

- 5/7/11 -

Clever Contraptions - Slick and innovative, extremely well designed and fun. Would like to see higher res graphics.

Pinball HD - Ultra smooth, amazing graphics. By far the best pinball game you can ask for.

Spider Man HD - Our first Gameloft Game plays fantastically, even if it shows a tiny bit of age.

- 5/6/11 -

- 4/28/11 -

Magesty: Amazon App Store - Fully functional and brilliant on a tablet!

Paradise Island - A fully functional and interesting freemium resort sim.

Further Beyond Fighting - A 3d fighting game, menu problems, controls very unresponsive

- 4/22/11 -

Death Worm - Fluid, Beautiful, Fun, Great Music, Extremely high quality!

History Channel: Great Battles - Has lots of potential, currently somewhat slow.
