Kongregate Arcade app hits the Android Market

[disastar]

Can you say free flash games? I tested the app out and everything seems to work great! You can easily specify where to download games (internal vs. SD card) and every game I tried ran fine. Of course, you need to have Adobe Flash installed. More info here: Kongregate Arcade hits Android, GameStop shoving free Flash games straight onto your smartphone -- Engadget

Same here.....nothing in the marketplace. Strange. Everywhere I look it only has 50 downloads thus far.....apparently they pulled it for some reason.

I had the same problem too with my Droid 2 Global but I found out that the app is not in the Android Market. You have to allow non-android market downloads and go to Kongregate Arcade for Android in your browser from your android device and click on the download link.

To all those people saying they can't find it:

Thanks for info. Hopefully they'll get it back up on the Marketplace. Awesome app though.

i tried it out last night...
not bad ... just a lot of simple games....to kill time.

I thought this was "flash" games via the net. Why does it require that I download something for most of the games??
Why does it not tell me how much it needs to download for that particular game?
how do I delete the game that I dont want anymore???

sort of defeats the benefit of flash games if I have to put something on my phone to play it. I could just download game from the regular market.

what am I missing??

Installed this morning.I'm really surprised at the graphic quality on my EVO. As good as any of the games I've purchased from the market.

A flash application is a stand alone product, which needs to be downloaded to run and function on the users machine. Flash wasn't designed for mobile devices, so it isn't as useful compared to a pc.

Traditionally flash applications are stored in internet cache, so i don't think it is saved anywhere, but you do have to download it each time you run the game.

I believe the main benefit of flash is ease of development, otherwise the technology would likely be on its way out now.

If you hold down on the game a menu should pop up and one of the options will be uninstall game. It saves room and it takes like two seconds to download and uninstall a game.

You have to download the game one way or another, so I much prefer the ability to download directly to my SD card for later playing. It's really not a big deal. Games download literally in seconds over wifi or 4G.

 

[holgalee]

I've downloaded the app but it takes forever to install via recovery mode on my Samsung Galaxy S. Does anyone have the same issue? I think it's hanged my phone!

 

[dan330]
