80 Days!

[yendi]

Hey, Android owners! The best video game of 2014, 80 Days, is on sale at the Amazon App Store for $.99 (80% off)! Note that there's no qualifier in that last sentence -- it's not the "best mobile game" or "best story-driven game" or somesuch. Just the best game released in 2014. Go buy it (it's certainly worth the full $5, too, if you're on IOS or don't catch it while it's on sale).

There are supposedly 500K words of content in the game. That's more than the entire LOTR trilogy or any book in A Song of Fire and Ice. In other words, there's a lot of content, and a lot of replayability.

Hey, it works on my Kindle, and I can use some of my 2,000 Amazon Points on it. Sweet!

Excellent!

Monument Valley is also on sale for $.99.

Oh, yeah! They actually gave it away for free late last year, but it's definitely worthwhile.

99p in the UK, but covered by the £2 credit I got for something or other.

[yendi]

Yeah, I paid for mine with a promo credit, too.

Oh, that's interesting: I had to do rare login to my amazon.com account and it knew about my Android devices. I was also able to get today's free app too. (It's the same as the one at amazon.co.uk, but that has not always been the case.)

That's new - when it started, the .com and .co.uk appstore accounts were seperate things. Now if I want something, I'll have to check the US price as well as the UK one.

Hunh. That's interesting -- I'd have figured they'd do the same thing as iTunes (or Google Play) and limit people to one region (or at least make it hard to use multiple ones).


btw, if you use your Android device for movies and music, I also suggest peeking at the Google Play Deals Reddit Community. They catch a lot of nice bargains and freebies (I've got about ten movies, including the first two Hunger Games and Wreck It Ralph, thanks to them), and definitely catch deals that are international (there's one currently for Daft Punk's Get Lucky that seems to apply everywhere but the US).
