Quell is a pretty good little puzzler with nice graphics and music

Looks really nice on tablet too.

Just downloaded it and it looks excellent.

Good shout.

when you've selected the leagues you want make sure you long press on them and select "notifications on"

Download was pretty quick for me, I guess a lot more people are downloading it now.

World of Goo has made it over to Android! At £2 it's an absolute bargain and everyone should buy it if you've not already played on PC/Wii/iOS.

Is there anyway i can get that to play on my samsung galaxy s1?

edit: weird, I can play the demo, but when i try to download the full game it says my phone is not compatible?

Try contacting the dev? Although it's just come out so there might be a few problems

I believe your problem may be that there is an issue with the S1 not being able to download apks above a certain size from the market.

Bought it already, works well and have been looking forward to it for a while, emailed the dev a while back to request it but never thought it would come.

Tbh, come to think of it quite a few apps have been telling me my phone is incompatible. I always thought it was a tegra 2 thing. I've been using it as an excuse to get a new phone!

Is there anyway around the 'issue'?

What a stupid reason to cause an app to be incompatible, why should it matter if it's 10 or 100mb?

PiKe · 29 Nov 2011 at 09:50

Dev response:

Thanks for your interest in Goo!

Android Market imposes some device-specific limitations on the size of applications that can be installed. If you can't see our application on Android Market, try installing the demo version from here:
http://worldofgoo.com/dl2.php?lk=demo

If you like it, you can buy the full version from us here:
http://worldofgoo.com/shop.php?platform=android

You will need to enable installation of non-market apps. Usually you will be prompted to do this automatically when trying to install the game, but here are the manual steps should you need them:
1) Go to Settings > Applications
2) Check the box next to Unknown sources

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Still find it completely annoying, the market should work!

Can't be arsed reading through all the posts but if you like Footie and work over the weekend then Fotmob is very good. Notifies you when goals are scored in virtually every league in the world!

I prefer Soccer Live Scores. It has the same features as Fotmob but in a lot nicer, clearer and streamlined way. Also notifies you of goals / final whistle etc etc.
